Nickent Golf Genex 425 Forged Drivers 

DESCRIPTION

SP-700 Titanium Alloy: Superplastic titanium alloy Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio High resistance to stress fatigue Superplastic (SP) titanium alloys emerged in the late 1990’s in answer to increased demand from the military, aerospace and commercial aviation industries for higher strength, fatigue-resistant titanium for use in the manufacture of a new generation of commercial and military aircraft. Developed by NKK Corporation (Japan), SP-700 is a beta-rich titanium alloy (4.5% aluminum, 3% vanadium, 2% molybdenum, 2% iron) that exhibits an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio relative to conventional titanium alloys. SP-700 Forged Faceplate™ Technology: Thin face design for maximum rebound speed. As a crossover technology, SP-700 has proven invaluable to the development of the Genex 425 Forged woods. Because of it’s enhanced mechanical properties (low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, high resistance to deformation and stress fatigue), SP-700 has allowed us to develop an extremely thin, incredibly responsive clubface that delivers the highest rebound speeds permissible under the new COR ruling. COR Speed Zone™ Technology Variable face thickness geometry Expanded effective rebound area

ove the look of this driver, it looks black but once you take it out in the sunlight it turns a cool reddish color. The head looks smaller than other 400+ cc drivers due to the deep face I presume.
Performance wise, I really like this driver. I have hit the longest drives of my life with this club and have added a conservative 10-15 yards. The stock Speedrated shaft is great low torque shaft and has a nice smooth feel.
I do battle a slight push with this club, I don't know if it's the longer shaft or maybe a flatter lie angle than my Titleist 975J but it is a very long and solid club. I play the 425 forged on more open courses and play the 975j on tighter courses.
I am really enjoying snatching up great equipment like this on ebay for peanuts. It's a shame this company is out of business. I play their 4dx 2 hybrid and it is also a great club.

Haven't played a round yet, but love it on the range. Very impressed by nickent products and this appears to be a good one as well. Value is the most important factor to me and I feel like I robbed to candy store when I won this auction club! Not sure the shaft is right for me, I might switch out one of my Aldilas for more comfort.

I've owned a set of irons and now this driver and haven't had to contact their customer service. I hear they are pretty supportive.

Its the best driver in my Weds group I think. It out drives expensive name brands which my partners carry, as I've tried them all, hence, while I continue looking, it would have to be a pretty incredible driver for me to leave this OLD stick. I think Nickent is onto something with the thin forged Titanium face. And, they put a nice light 55 gram UST shaft (stiff tip) on it.

Picked up the club early last year for $99 CDN, won 3 longest drive prizes at various tournaments that year...the longest being a 328 yarder...pretty good for a clown who shoots in the high 80's low 90's. I found the 55 gram shaft a little to whippy though. When I eased up, the ball would fly a consistent 260 straight. I just picked up the same club this year for 49 CDN with a 9 degree loft and stiffer, 95 MPH speed rated shaft. Hoping for big things...easily the best bang for the buck...

Had one of these with the stock 55g shaft, just too light for me... Now have one with a Graffaloy ProLaunch 65S, and the thing hits them great... very long and still forgiving. And on Ebay now, they are dirt cheap. For the money, one of the best drivers available, just get the right shaft. better than the 3DX, better than the Callaway 460X.....

I first got this driver for around $40 at a second hand shop... it had the factory 55 gram pseed rated R flex... a very good shaft, but just too light and whippy for me.. I hit a few bombs with it, but about every third swing, it was a monster hook into the reeds. Rather than give up, as the head was SO hot, I had a ProLaunch Blue S65 put into it... that solved everything. Trajectory is great, and it is MUCH straighter. If I put a good hard swing on it, it is near or past 300. A more temperate swing puts it out around 280, and I am just not sure if any of the new stuff out there can do any better. I tried the Callaway X driver, a good stick, at first I loved the straightness of it, but couldn't seem to get it out past 270, even on a very good swing... so this inexpensive stick is in the bag... what a deal. I recommend you find one, then put your favorite shaft in it, and you will be set. Keep your $399 in your pocket. Skoal!

There is hope for my game after all! This is one sweet driver! I won't lie-I'm not a good golfer. I've always had a gnarly slice off the tee, and I would avoid my driver like the plague because of it. So, I decided to get a really good one in case it would help. Booyah! I scored this baby from e-bay for $35. Perhaps the best $35 dollars I have ever spent. I'm hitting farther and straighter than I ever have. This thing is really forgiving. Once in a while a slice will sneak in, but that's just my swing. Not the club. I no longer approach the tee box with trepidation. Instead, I have a new found confidence, unlike any thing I have felt before in my entire life! Ok, maybe I went a little overboard there, but I'm alot less frustrated when I play. If you can find one of these gems on e-bay, do what you have to do to get it. You won't be sorry! "Halleluliah! Halleluliah!" (You have to picture Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone when you say that to get the full effect).

I bought this driver a year ago. I had some good times and bad times with it. On the good days it launched the ball high and straight. Down side is thatit looses paint easily if you get under a ball or two. The sound that it makes has always been good but last week at the range I hit a few balls when it made a sound that hurt the ears. Looked down and the crown had spilt right across the top of the face and down one side. Expected a longer life than that....

At first sight, the driver looks too thick. Somehow, tends to slice. Not suitable for me. Japanese clubs are worth considering.
