October 31st, 2005 – In an event where almost half the field will be playing on the PGA Tour next year, Nickent Golf’s 3DX Ironwood once again proved it was "king" at this week’s Nationwide Tour Championship.
Fifteen players used 16 3DX’s in six different lofts at the year-end event that features the Nationwide Tour’s Top 60 players. In the Darrell Survey club count, Nickent bested the #2 hybrid manufacturer by a 6-club margin. One player who is carrying two 3DX Ironwoods at the event explained why he thought Nickent had such a big advantage over the competition.
"The Nickent 3DX Ironwood is by far the best looking and easiest hybrid club I have ever played," said Chad Collins, the #33 ranked Nationwide Tour player heading into the championship and winner of the Henrico County Open with a 3DX earlier this year. "The 3DX is so easy to get up in the air and to control. It has allowed me to be more aggressive & confident on shots that with other clubs are just a lay up".
In 2005, the Nationwide Tour has proven itself to be the second most talented Tour in the world. Their most heralded player this year earned a battlefield promotion with three wins and then promptly won on the PGA Tour one month later. Over 10 Nationwide Tour graduates have been victorious on the PGA Tour in the last two years, making the Nationwide Tour one of the most successful minor leagues in all of sports. This fact has not gone unnoticed by up-and-coming Nickent.
"We’ve been the number 1 hybrid in two straight Nationwide Tour Championships," said Nickent CEO and founder Michael Lee. "We are very proud of this distinction and to be such a big part of the fastest growing golf tour in the world. Make no mistake about it, the 3DX has become one of the hottest golf clubs on the market since we introduced it to the Nationwide Tour."
Over 100 Nationwide Tour players played the 3DX Ironwood this season without endorsement contracts.
