Nickent 4DX driver, draw spec, UST stiff shaft

Summary:
I have a 9,7 handicap. I've been playing with taylormade drivers for the past 10 years. I was never really consistent with the drives so I gradually stopped using the driver. I used the driver on average once per round.

With the taylormade driver (stiff shaft, 9.5 degree loft) I was carrying the ball about 220 meters and didn't have too much control. Sometimes I got so much backspin on the ball that it actually comes backward.

Early this year I got interested in buying a new driver, and I was almost sure I would by a Taylormade R9, until I got my hands on the Nickent driver. On my first round I used the driver 6 times and hit 6 fairways.

With the Nickent driver I'm hitting on average 70% of the fairways, where as with the taylormade I was hitting less than 50%.

I read an article about PGA tour players; it seems that it is more common to use more loft on the drivers now 10 - 11 degrees, so of course I also bought a 10.5 degree driver.
I think that has been a good choice, I'm hitting the balls really high and get super long distance with the nickent driver. And it feels like you don't even have to make an effort to hit the drive, just swing trough and the driver takes care of the rest. I consistently carry the ball over 250 meters and my record distance is 360 meters (with a bit of help from tailwind and good roll). And this is absolutely ridiculous since I have never hit that far before. I also get a lot more roll on the ball with the Nickent driver.

I've always thought the driver is the most difficult club to hit, now with the Nickent driver I have to say it's my easiest club.

What is good for me about my nickent driver: I carry the ball 30 - 40 meters longer than the Taylormade driver and I get less backspinn. I hit the ball high so I get more control. All in all, the Nickent driver is really value for money (compared to the taylormade's and other big brands). I will never switch back! and I really hope that Nickent can keep the prices that they currently have...

4DX Draw Spec 9* UST V2

Summary:
I've been playing Taylormade woods for about 17 years and had just purchased a 2009 Burner. I hit it fairly well, but wasn't crazy about the appearance. I happened to come across a 4DX Draw spec brand new on Ebay with my favorite shaft (UST V2) for $119 including shipping. I fell in love with the minimalistic, classic looks and thought I'd give it a try. What an eye-opener! This club is LONG, STRAIGHT, and SOLID! I'll put this club up against any driver I've ever had, including the 2009 Burner, which I sold to a buddy after hitting this club. Nothing but good things to say about it and I could get 3 of them for the price of my last TM. Check out the Nickent line. Really solid, quality stuff that won't break the bank.

Customer Service:

Nikent 4DX Driver graphite stiff shaft

Summary:
This is simply the best driver I've ever used. By way of background I am 60 years old and have been out of golf for most of the past 20 years due primarily to severe lower back problems which have finally improved to the extent that I can take up the game again. Prior to the injury I played regularly. So the low back issue played a major part in my choice of new clubs in particular the driver. I tested Nickent, Cobra, Calloway, Taylormade and Ping and found the Nikent 4DX produced the best results for me at the local golf shop. The stock model stiff graphite shaft produced a clubhead speed between 90-95 MPH and a ball velocity of 130-135 MPH at contact. But the selling points were accuracy, distance compared to the other models and my old driver which I also hit to establish a base line for comparison, the feel of the club at contact and the traditional clubhead look. While a bit leary of the computer generated results I have to say that they proved almost toally accurate once I took the club to the course. I have played a total of 45 holes since buying this driver and I have kept track of fairways hit and driving distance. To date I am hitting 80% of the fairways and have only been in real trouble on three holes. My drives are averaging 230 yards plus over all terrain conditions with the longest balls carrying 270 plus on gradual downhill fairway. This club has greatly improved my confidence off the tee and I can now target and hit my ball flight lines with regularity. Even when slightly fatigued over the finishing holes this driver remained the most consistent club in my bag. I expect a significant improvement in the distance as the numbers I have used have come from winter play in wet and cold conditions. Next I am heading off to look at Nikent fairway woods to complete my upgraded set of clubs. This club might not suit everyone but for those around my age, with my club head speed and physical limitations it has been worth the price and more.

Customer Service:
Golf Town, Victoria, BC. Excellent knowlegeable service.

4DX ts

Summary:
This is not the driver that you take from a friend and say Wow I want that, at least for me I got it at eBay for 80 brand new and went in the range, it hit real low and there was no distance at all, then I played the course with my regular driver and did not feel that I had much control for some reason the next day this went in the bag for fun, 330, 290,280, all strait you have to get use to it and you have 100 percent control but for me it is still hard for me to draw it because I still am a cut player but if you do draw it easily you will get 290 and 300. Low and piercing with sweet shuk sound
