Building on the success of their wildly popular 3DX products, Nickent Golf launches the 3DX Iron, their first iron developed by legendary golf club designer and new "product quarterback", John B. Hoeflich.
Over the last 20 years, Hoeflich has designed many of the game’s best-selling irons. Millions of golfers, including many of the world’s best players, have benefited from his iron design philosophy of mixing art with technology and looks with performance. This time around, Hoeflich challenged himself to create the highest level of game improvement irons combined with the classic look that have come to represent Hoeflich irons over the years. The end result is the 3DX Iron.
The first thing a golfer will notice after hitting the 3DX Iron is how far you hit them! Cast from 431 stainless steel, the 3DX has a remarkably thin and strong face, creating a very high C.O.R. to promote faster ball speed. Twenty grams of weight were saved from the face and redistributed in two perfectly balanced tungsten-polymer fused inserts (XW Inserts) on the back of the clubhead.
Moving 20 grams of weight to the back of the blade and widening the sole makes the 3DX easy to launch and easy to play from a wide variety of lies. Weight is spread to the extreme heel and toe by the XW Inserts, making the head even more forgiving and making the club more stable at impact. Balls will stay in the air longer and land softly as a result of unique Nickent U-Grooves that have been matched to the center of gravity of the irons to provide the ideal spin rate under all conditions.
The XW Inserts also gives the 3DX Iron unmatched forgiveness and feel that will make an immediate imprint on all levels of golfers. The tungsten-polymer inserts absorb vibration from impact, reducing a majority of the shock and harsh feel associated with irons that use hard tungsten plugs or screws used to lower the center of gravity or achieve perimeter weighting.
"These XW inserts do so much for the 3DX iron," said Hoeflich. "It has a large cavity back with a very responsive face, so the distance, feel and forgiveness are deeply rooted in the basic design elements of the club. What makes the 3DX iron so different and so long compared to other irons is the way the XW inserts work. They spread the weight to the heel and toe, absorb shock and provide that extra ‘oomph’ so many golfers are searching for. After looking at the Iron Byron tests, I would say my first design with Nickent Golf is a smashing success. This is an iron for players of all levels looking to experience a considerable amount of forgiveness and the ability to create more power."
The 3DX Iron features two exceptional shafts that have been matched to the powerful head to produce even more power and distance. The new SpeedRated 2 graphite shaft by UST and the ST-90 lightweight steel shafts encourage faster swing speeds with no loss of control.
