Bought a set (3-PW, Nippon stiff) for $135 earlier this year! Couldn't pass up a deal like that. They replaced a set of Cobra 3400 max game improvement irons. I use to spray everything all over the place with the Cobras, granted my swing has gotten better (13 hdcp), but the Nickents are really accurate clubs with the Nippon shafts. They are somewhat difficult to work left and right as mentioned in the review. I can get baby fades and draws if I'm hitting the ball well that day, but for the most part the ball wants to go straight at the target. They feel better than the Cobras when you pure it and will let you know when you miss it, but no harshness at all. For the price that you can find on these right now I'm not sure that you can find a nicer set of irons.

I've also found that I am shorter with these than with my old Cobras, but much more accurate. In fact, I'm about a club shorter. Not sure if it is the stiff flex or what.

Overall this is a a great of sticks. I would recommend Nickent products to anyone.

I really like the stiff nippon shafts that are more like firm in my opinion. You barely have to swing these.

I decided the striking the ball better and decided to remove my beloved m565 MacGregor irons from the bag and try out the 3dx pro irons. It was pretty windy and I shot 39 - 37 and sunk no putts.

On the back 9 I literally hit all greens in regulation (tap in pars on 6 holes) - a tap in birdie on the par five and two bogies - a 3 putt on 18 for a 37. I could easily have shot a 34-35. My point, these are the best irons I have ever hit. They were like lazers and I didn't have to swing hard. There are 23 pros on the Nationwide tour using these exact clubs. I figured an average golfer couldn't hit them. I have been averaging about 43 for 9. I'm not this good, but I'll take it.

1 thing tho', the specs here in this review differ from the ones on NICKENT's site in there "Vault" section. I wish I knew which to believe.

Even though I left the Macs in my bag, I actually prefer the way this club set up. I seemed easier to align and also a little easier to make contact with the ball. They were about a half club shorter than the MACs, but think I was a little more accurate with these and was also able to hit a fade.

Not sure which way I'm going to go. Went back later and couldn't hit a club for my life. One day I am 7-8 over par, then 20. It's not the clubs. I guess I like them both, but only opted for the MACs now because it has more forgiveness/player improvement. When I was stiking the ball well, I preferred the Nicks. Ths stiff Nippon shaft is nice, but I really think it plays more to a firm. Hit the ball with very litter effort. Once thing I can tell you for sure, is these clubs absolutely put a bit on the ball. I usally get a ball to hop back or to the right. The Nickents, zipped back 4 feet. The grooves are lazer sharp and they will literally rip the cover off the ball.

I would highly reommend these clubs for a 12 and under and the MACs for 15 and under. Nickent makes great clubs. The Nickent 3DX Utility clubs are the best hybrid/utility I have ever hit period.

From the first shot on the range to the last iron on 18 it felt like I'd been hitting these clubs forever. Most of the time the ball just went straight, but if I needed to work it a little I was able to do that as well.

I agree with the comments about the strong PW (in fact all clubs are a little strong) so make sure you've got a 50 - 52 to fill the gap to SW.

Don't think I'll ever need another set of irons, but if I do ... Nickent will be the first place I look.

I couldn't get into the hybrid style clubs. Didnt want to spend $1200 on some Callaway technology that will be replaced in two years.

After doing some research, I found these clubs to be a superb value, great pedigree and hopefully will stay in my bag for another 10 years.

One thing, the pitching wedge (46 deg) is very strong compared to my last set (nearly 10 yards longer) so I had to bought a gap wedge (50) to fill in the blank. I couldn't handle the 3 iron with my 90-100MPH clubhead speed so bought a nickent 3dX hybrid for $59 at Van's to complete the set.
