how are the nickent irons?

[Lefty39]

i would put a 3 wood in the bag just to feel in the yardge gap between ur driver and longest iron also i would get a hybrid to because they will also help get extra distance.

driver sumo 10.5 stiff
3 wood eye 2
Hybrids 18 and 22 degree torch
Irons 5-pw sliver scot
Sand Wedge 54 deep red
Lob Wedge 60 cg11 2 dot
putter nexxt pulse series
Ball Nxt Extreme

Wow finally back from holiday. Ok, the nickent irons are great extremly smooth and fly straight and true, i have yet to play a round with them since its winter but they work hella great at the range.

Since it was boxing week i went putter looking and have finally bought an odyssey 2-ball srt white hot XG putter which works great.

I would look at adding a 3 wood or a 4 wood if you have trouble hitting 3 woods. Then if you go with a 3 wood I would look at adding a 5 wood. If you go for a 4 wood I would add another wedge. That should get you to your 14 clubs.

[tmoult]

I was thinking of a 4 wood maybe.

[andre112]

distance of 4 wood might be very close to those nickent utilities that come with your iron set. make sure you try it out before you buy

[bballglf23]

what is the degree of your PW? If you go with the 4 wood I would look at adding 2 more wedges to get you to 14 clubs. A Gap and a lob wedge. Depending on your loft of your PW will depend on the loft of your wedges. Its good to have the same numbers of loft between each club

[Big_M]

Yeah... I would add one or two more wedges and at least a 3-wood, maybe another hybrid or 5-wood. I know for me... I hit my driver 260 average, 3-wood 235, 2 hybrid 220, 3 hybrid 210... so if I went from Driver to 3 hybrid I would have a 50yd distance gap. I like being able to hit my 2 hybrid on tight holes or little doglegs where my driver would run through... trying to take some off a driver is tough, and sometimes 50yds less won't get you to a corner of dogleg, so that much of a distance gap is dangerous. Just my 2-cents.

The 2-ball was a good choice... very popular putter and alignment friendly.

couldn't agree more. i started out with a 3 ball for alignment sake. it was a knockoff putter. i've sinced moved to the odyssey white hot xg #5. I absolutely love the feel of the ball coming off of the club face of every xg i've hit. i just happen to like the #5 the best. i hope you have as much fun with your putter as i have with mine. I'm getting where I actually enjoy the 15 ft. and longer putts. I'm getting where i either hole them or have them within a foot for a tap in.

the feel of a putter is the most important thing. and the xg is great. good luck. stay warm and shave some strokes.

fitting ur clubs is always a good idea. i just bought new ones and i am planning on keeping them for a while so i dont want them to disagree with my game. Just make sure u have hit the clubs and are sure of what u are buying before u do anything
As for your putting problem.. ive had a bit of trouble putting in the past and ive worked on my stroke in front of the mirror. Practice different stances and grips and find one that feels comfortable, and work on putting a steady stroke with that keeping ur left elbow close to your body (right elboiw for a leftie)

[tmoult]

Wow thanks for all the lep guys! To answer ur quesitons i have 56 degree wedge, 50 degree wedge and my PW is 44 degrees so 6 degree gap between those 3. Good enough???

In terms of putting for the longer putters with my 2- ball im knocing them close enough for an easy second putt, which has been my goal to always 2 putt and 1 putt if possible.

[tmoult]

Any one know what nickent 4dx 3 wood is like?

I have no idea, but as you know the hybrids are very nice.

How is the driver if you don't mind my asking, and what else did you hit when you chose it?

[tmoult]

The driver is great straight as an arrow, as ive always been a slicer so its working great. I also tried the square nike one and the ping g10.

[tmoult]

Oh, and i tried the cleavland hibore.
