Hi,
Looking to purchase my first hybrid. I've been leaning towards finding a slightly used Taylormade Rescue 2009 3H. I haven't been able to find one in my price range however. I'm looking for opinions on any that come close to this club? I have hit this one in the store and it felt great. I'm looking for a club that is pretty forgiving and easy to hit. Thanks for any advice!

Many hybrids look very different and I think the Nickent design is one of the best.

well just bit the bullet and ordered a new 3dx rc #4 from Rockbottomgolf for only $30 bucks. Feels like a bargain. Have read some great things. Now looking for a cheap 4dx to compliment my 3 iron . Is there a big difference in the 3dx vs 4dx? Can't wait to get my clubs!

I have a 4dx 17* 2H and a 3dx 20* 3H. Love them both. I've been using the 4dx 2H off the tee when I need accuracy and it's delivered. Both also hit nicely off the fairway...also have been useful for punch shots out of the rough or other trouble when the ball is sitting up a bit. The online consensus is the 3dx is easier to get airborne for high handicappers, but I haven't had trouble with either. Twice in the past week I've taken an easy swing with the 3dx 3H and wound up with a shot straight at the flag and within 12 feet from ~180 out for nice birdie opportunities.

Awesome..that makes me feel better about the 3dx purchase. I still have a bid out on a 4dx as well. I plan to use both to replace my long irons. I have always had trouble hitting those accurately. I wish the UPS would hurry on up

You simply can't go wrong buying any club from Nickent. Especially for the price...

I hope so! Just won a bid on another Nickent (4dx 3H) last night for $26! Very excited to try these out after all the good things I've read.

just got the 3dx delivered and promptly headed over to the driving range. Man ..this thing is sweet! Really easy to hit and tons of distance. Best of all I'm hitting it straighter than I have ever before. Can't beat this thing for $30! Looking forwarding to receiving my 4DX later this week. Thanks for all those that suggested these clubs..advice was dead on.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
