Just won a Nickent 5dx Ironwood on ebay........for 50 bucks even!!!!

I'm a little skeptical about it. They seller has 100% positive feedback, but is only a 34. The auction was for one day only, I bid from my iPhone, thinking that I would surely be outbid, but I wasn't. So I woke up this morning with an email saying that I had won the hybrid.

What do you guys think?

It is brand new according to the ebay listing, so its not like I on accident bid on just a club head or something.

I just won the club today, so I'm going to wait to here from someone on here before I go ahead and make a payment.

I'm hoping I just lucked up and got a good deal.

Oh I love my lone Nickent 3dx #4 Ironwood. it hits so straight and I can get great distance. I love it. I'm sure the 5dx is going to be even better....I was just a little worried about getting ripped off because of the great deal.

Correction....it is a used club. I'm guessing that is why its 50 bucks. They rate it a 9.5 out of 10.

eBay is pretty clear on the rules...you bid, you win, you pay!

Let us know how the club is. I have a 4DX - love it!

Sometimes you just get lucky and score a great deal. I got my putter off an internet auction site for a steal when I thought for sure that someone would outbid me. Also, consider the fact that Nickent isn't one of the "big names" so a lot of people might have overlooked it when they were browsing and didn't realise there was a great deal to be had.

Nickent might have great clubs, but I bet they don't hold their value at all, especially with all the trouble they are having right now. I would say chalk it up as a great deal if the club is in good condition. As Fat Slice said, you won, you need to pay.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Oh I paid already, I was just getting a second opinion that I wasn't getting ripped off.

I'm pumped about getting the club. I love my 3Dx and I'm sure I'll love the 5!!!!!

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

The price doesn't surprise me. Nickent makes great stuff, but they have a hell of a time selling it.

I got my set for about $400 off ebay brand new from gppgolf.com. It consisted of: 3h, 4h, 5i-9i, PW, Driver.(Same stuff in my sig). It was the single best deal i could find, and I haven't looked back once.

Got my new #6 5DX Ironwood in today. That thing looks awesome. I can't wait to get out on the range and hit some balls. I'll write a review whenever I get back tomorrow!

No followups...so I will make one.

I bought 2 5DX clubs, a 3+ and 2+ with factory stiff shafts.

I already play a 4DX #3 and #4 which I *love*.

I took the 5DXs out for a round and to the range and for me....they're not as good as the 4DX. Maybe it's my swing, I dunno. The heads don't seem to have the same pop and the shaft's might be stiffer and they don't feel like they are loading/unloading. I'm gonna sell them - they're not for me - and look for a 4DX #2.

The 5dx is a fabulous hybrid. I have upgraded from the 3dx, 4dx and now 5dx. I have the 3,4,5 and 6 hybrids and swear by them. They hit long and straight.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
