In an amazing turn of events, Nickent Golf finished the season as # 1 hybrid on the PGA Tour! The introduction of the 3DX DC prototype hybrid helped push the 3DX family of hybrids to # 1 at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic, the last full-field event of the 2005 PGA Tour.
Nickent finished as the # 3 overall hybrid on the 2005 PGA Tour in their first full year with representation on professional golf’s biggest stage. To achieve this much club usage was a victory onto itself given that up-and-coming Nickent does not have a staff of PGA Tour players and does not compensate players to use their clubs.
Helping to push Nickent to the top spot was their new 3DX DC Ironwood, complete with new hot face technology and extreme DC heel/toe Tungsten Polymer weighting. Nickent wanted to bring their new club to the tour to test player reaction before the season was over. The feedback they got was far and beyond what they thought they might encounter. After just two days of testing, the British Open Champion who made hybrids famous chose the 3DX DC over his old hybrid clubs and put it into his bag for the Southern Farm Bureau Classic.
"To become the # 1 most played hybrid on the PGA Tour has always been our ultimate goal," said Michael Lee, CEO of Nickent Golf. "To have our next generation of hybrids be the catalyst to us reaching # 1 is very special because we literally just wanted to show the golf club off to a few players to see what they thought. We really didn’t think any of the new clubs would make it into play so quickly!"
Two different versions of the 3DX DC Ironwoods will be available November 30 through select retailers. Look out for the official release of these new extensions to Nickent’s hybrid line later this month.
