I hit my friends 4DX 3H today at the range and loved the feel and sound of it. Just curious on how the 3DX feels? Any similar?

As you can see, I've got one of each. Love them both, feel pretty similar off the tee or the deck. Both make a nice "click" when hit. 4DX seems to hold up a bit better cosmetically (less paint chipping), but the performance is superb.

I prefer the 3DX slightly better and it could all be in my head...I just bought a brand new 4DX 17 degree 2H with the UST stiff shaft that I am going to sell (just haven't got around to it). It's only seen the range twice, no ball marks, just a couple of marks in the sweet spot of the club face. PM if interested.

I bought all four Nickent 3DX DC's 1,2,3 & 4......sold the 3 & 4 to a buddy and kept the 1 & 2 for my use.....I hit the 2H 195-205 yds and straight down the fairway......it also is my go to club when I am under the trees and need a low punch......can also use it when off the green and the hole is 60-100 feet away.

I played a 3DX for a while last summer. Great club! Liked the feel, sound and look of it. Actually....one thing I really liked was the unique stock grip!

My only criticisim would be that the paint seems to chip pretty easily.

I got the 3dx new on eBay for $11, so I can't complain. It's a fine club. hits it high like a hybrid should and feels solid. I don't bag it often, but it's every bit as good as my gamers.

I was looking for a Nickent hybrid and was wondering what the difference is between their hybrids and ironwoods.

I believe they are the same thing. An "ironwood" is a hybrid.

I have a 2H 3DX and absolutely love it! It makes a great "chicken stick" off the tee.

I enjoyed my Nickent 3DX "ironwood" very much. I liked the sleek look of the club head shape and the color. I have noticed that there are a few different shaft variations on them, though. So be sure you get what you want. I played a 3hy 3DX and it had a "uniflex" steel shaft. I also picked up a 4hy 3DX (and never played it) that had a ProForce graphite shaft. So be sure you are getting one with the shaft that you want.

I went with the standard graphite shaft (all GolfSmith had). I'm just getting started and was looking for an inexpensive hybrid. I've got 90 days to swap it out so I figure it will work for at least that period if not longer.

They didn't have any in the store, so I went ahead and ordered both the regular and stiff flex. My irons are R, but the fairway woods are stiff, but have an active tip. I'll see how these feel when these come in and keep one of them. Maybe both as they were each about $50.

The 3dx original version was just a hot hybrid. It plays like a hybrid should. I had no problems hitting it, & i'm a higher cap. I also have had a single digit & a canadian tour pro who i played with hit it as well who both nuked it & could exhibit some serious control over their flight.

Of course they both flew it about 45yds longer than me.

It's also got a really great sound & no real hook bias.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.
