Nickent Golf 3DX Drivers Review

Nickent Golf 3DX


Description
The same technology as the #1 most played hybrid on Tour, the 3DX Drivers features 3DX weight ports strategically placed to provide internal and exterior weighting that matches your swing. The weight ports also allow for the first and only 460 CC drivers that have the ability to feature directional control technology. The entire 3DX driver and fairway wood line comes with the hottest shaft on the PGA Tour and in the consumer market place, the ultra-popular Aldila NV shaft.

Nickent 3DX RC

Summary:
Bought a new set over the winter on ebay. Loved them. Good looking, extremely forgiving, long and light. Progressive sole design was really cool, and some of the best hybrids I've tried. I recommended the set to a few friends and they bought them too.

However, about 4 months after I started using them, the head of my 7 iron broke off the graphite shaft, and one of my friends had 2 clubs break on him. Such a shame, as I really liked the set otherwise.

Maybe the steel shafted 3DX RC's don't have this problem, but I would be very wary of the graphite shafted version.

Customer Service:
Can't use, as Nickent is out of business.

Nickent 3DX RC

Summary:
Ordered my 3DX RC's a year ago and completely fell in love with them. To my dismay the heads started separating from the shafts. First my 9 iron head flew into a pond, and yesterday the 6 iron head came off. Very sad to learn that Nickent went out of business so good luck to me getting anything out of them. Seemed to good to be true when they came in for such a great price and I guess I was right.

Nickent 3DX RC

Summary:
My less than 2 month old 3DX RC irons began falling apart. My 7 iron head came off first on August 11th. Sent it back to Nickent for repair. August 20th, my Pitching wedge head came off. Not snapping off, but the shaft pulled apart between the hosel and flange, just like my 7 iron. Nickent tells me to send my P-5 irons back so they can reshaft. What am I to do in the mean time, just wait for my clubs to come back they tell me. They also told me my 7 irons would be back to my by August 19th, this is August 25th, I have yet to get it back!!!!

My clubs are men's right hand with standard flex graphite shaft. One of the managers admitted to me that they had an entire bad batch of these clubs that were made overseas. They seem quite laid back about the entire ordeal considering that it is their product quality that is deplorable. They refused to send me new clubs, even after the KNEW FOR A FACT that my clubs were on their way back to them via Golfsmith. Told me I had to wait until the fixed my original clubs however long that will be!

Review in wrong area.

Notice the photo of the 3DX driver at the top of the page.

This review is meaningless since it doesn't pertain at all to the Nickent 3DX driver. Experience with an iron set doesn't reflect at all on a driver which is a completely different product.

Nickent 3DX D-Spec driver

Summary:
Last season I accepted the fact that if I wanted to lower my handicap I needed to leave the driver at home and tee off with my 3-wood. I did this and went from a 26 down to an 18. But to get any lower I need a way to get those long par 4's to not be short par 5's.

Over the winter I picked up a 10* 3DX D-Spec for a song on ebay. It was in VERY rough shape cosmetically, but I paid less for the club than the NV 55 R-flex shaft was worth. The first time I took it to the range it was definitely promising. But I was pushing a lot of drives low and left (I play lefty).

So I decided to make a restoration project out of this driver. I refinished the head and reshafted it with a Graphite Design YS-6, also R-flex. I tried it out on the range for the first time today.

All I can say is, wow! I definitely agree with the other reviewers as to how forgiving this driver is. I could not seem to miss with this thing! And in a head-to-head comparison with the Tour Edge Exotics that I started playing this season, I'd say the distances were about the same. But there was no question that the 3DX did not leak left nearly as much as the Exotics. It's a good thing I got a great deal on the Exotics as well, because I think it just became my back up driver!

Customer Service:
Have not had to use

nickent 3dx

Summary:
Just bought a 3DX. It is about 10 yards shorter than my Taylor Made r510 with the same Proforce shaft. The Nickent is much more forgiving and my bad shots are still in the fairway. Face is huge and forgiving, but if you are a pure ball striker is might not be the best driver for you.
