So a guy I played with had a nickent 3 wood that he said he loved. I was looking them up trying to find the one he had and it doesnt look like the new ownes that have green on them. Anyone know of a nickent 3 wood that is good? It had some weight on the bottom of it or something?

Lots of love for Nickent by many folks (I love the Evolver 4DX driver). See this recent thread:

http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...-Nickent-irons

They've been bankrupt for a year, so you can find great deals on the web on their products. I can't speak personally about their FW's, but in general most including me think they made top notch equipment. And each "generation" of equipment tried to improve upon the previous, i.e. 4DX newer/better than 3DX, etc., so if you want to try one out I wouldn't worry about trying to get the exact same older model you saw. FW's in general don't get upgraded by folks (including pro's) as often as other clubs because most try to use them as "dependable" clubs, where squeezing out a few extra yards isn't as important as the psychologic trust in "an old friend".

I just ordered a set of nickent irons from Dallas Golf. I think I saw there woods were available too. Try them.

I have a 4DX 3 utility wood that I love and a 3 DX 3 ironwood as well. Got them both cheap and they are excellent clubs, very easy to hit. I actually tee off with my 3 wood most of the time because I hit it much straighter then my driver and still plenty long.

I have a couple of Nickent 3DX RC ironswoods that I thnk are good clubs, even though I'm about to trade them in/get rid of them.

For me, I just like looking down at a hybrid that looks a little bit more like a fairway wood in shape - e.g. TM Burner Rescue, G10, etc. Guess it makes me feel more confident or something.

Aside from that, they've been easy to hit and have been quite good overall. I think Nickent makes some quality stuff - and that opinion seems to correspond to the opinions of others as well (at least from most of what I've read).

* made

Find them if you can, but they're not miraculous or anything - more of a cult following because they were decent clubs that are no longer made.

I have the 4dx driver, and love it. Absolutely love it. Last 3 rounds I've used it I have hit 12 of 14 fairways each time, and it goes a friggen mile!

I think they made pretty good stuff that was pretty economical when compared to most of the stuff on the market.

I bought a 5dx Hybrid that I think is pretty damn ugly, but it is very easy to hit and has some great distance on it. I bought another head online that I am trying to find a good shaft to pair with it.

I wouldn't say they are amazing stuff, but I think they attempted to push some tech features before that was the norm.

I would say check them out as you could find a good club for cheap, but the same could be said for a lot of used clubs from many brands.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
