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.

Thanks. Guess GolfSmith just labeled the different series a little differently.

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.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
