最後, 他揀了 Nickent 的 3DX Iron/Hybrid set — 5 至 PW 是 UNIFLEX 鐵杆, 3 和 4 号是碳纖 hybrid。我和小玲子也有試打, 這套杆的感覺實在很好和 forgiving, 加上正在折扣, 實在是很好的選擇。
國寶同學打球已有一兩年, 7号杆也打得不錯, 如能純熟運用這套杆, 可以征服很多球場。

Nickent 3DX Iron
An Extreme Power Iron for Everyone! Over the last 20 years, John Hoeflich has designed many of the game’s best-selling irons. Millions of golfers, including many of the world’s best players, have benefited from his iron design philosophy of mixing art with technology and looks with performance. With the 3DX Iron, Hoeflich challenged himself to create the highest level of game improvement irons combined with the classic look that have come to represent Hoeflich irons over the years.
The first thing a golfer will notice after hitting the 3DX Iron is how far you hit them! Cast from 431 stainless steel, the 3DX has a remarkably thin and strong face, creating a very high C.O.R. to promote faster ball speed. Twenty grams of weight were saved from the face and redistributed in two perfectly balanced tungsten-polymer fused inserts (XW Inserts) on the back of the clubhead.
Moving 20 grams of weight to the back of the blade and widening the sole makes the 3DX easy to launch and easy to play from a wide variety of lies.
More on the 3DX Iron:
Weight is spread to the extreme heel and toe by the XW Inserts, making the head even more forgiving and making the club more stable at impact. Balls will stay in the air longer and land softly as a result of unique Nickent U-Grooves that have been matched to the center of gravity of the irons to provide the ideal spin rate under all conditions.
The XW Inserts also gives the 3DX Iron unmatched forgiveness and feel that will make an immediate imprint on all levels of golfers. The tungsten-polymer inserts absorb vibration from impact, reducing a majority of the shock and harsh feel associated with irons that use hard tungsten plugs or screws used to lower the center of gravity or achieve perimeter weighting.
"These XW inserts do so much for the 3DX iron," said Hoeflich. “It has a large cavity back with a very responsive face, so the distance, feel and forgiveness are deeply rooted in the basic design elements of the club. What makes the 3DX iron so different and so long compared to other irons is the way the XW inserts work. They spread the weight to the heel and toe, absorb shock and provide that extra ‘oomph’ so many golfers are searching for. After looking at the Iron Byron tests, I would say my first design with Nickent Golf is a smashing success. This is an iron for players of all levels looking to experience a considerable amount of forgiveness and the ability to create more power.”
The 3DX Iron features two exceptional shafts that have been matched to the powerful head to produce even more power and distance. The new SR2 graphite shaft by UST and the ST-90 lightweight steel shafts encourage faster swing speeds ith no loss of control.

3DFX Ironwood DC
How do you make the # 1 hybrid model on the Nationwide Tour and # 3 on the PGA Tour even better? Introducting the 3DX DC Ironwood.
The first week the DC Ironwood was introduced to the PGA Tour, at the last full field event of the 2005 season, it helped catapult the family of 3DX hybrids to # 1 on the PGA Tour. Even the 2004 British Open champion who helped make hybrids famous with his hybrid play switched over to the new 3DX DC after just two days of testing.
To create an even hotter and more forgiving hybrid, Nickent thinned the face of the 3DX DC, creating a much higher C.O.R. than the original 3DX Ironwood. A special plasma welding process was used to help redistribute the weight to the extreme perimeters of the clubhead. Forty grams of weight were moved down and back in the head using two tungsten-polymer fused inserts (XW Inserts). That’s almost 60% more adjustable weight in the clubhead than in the leading adjustable weight hybrid!
More on the 3DX DC Ironwood:
Nickent has used this new weight scheme to create a club that is perfectly weighted to the extreme heel and toe for the straightest and most forgiving setup. This unique feature gives Nickent the ability to make the DC Ironwood the same shape as the Tour favorite 3DX Ironwood, while increasing the MOI by 25%.
The XW Inserts are a fusion of polymer and tungsten. By using polymer around the outside of the insert, Nickent has the ability to vary the mass of the insert without being bulky and taking away from proper clubhead design. XW Inserts are also used to move the center of gravity of the head to insure proper weight distribution and eliminate the “pull hooks” produced by many of the leading hybrid designs.
The 3DX DC Ironwood has 14 hybrid lofts, one club every 1.5 degrees from 14° to 26°. This hybrid system allows the golfer to attain the optimum distance control and trajectory. With this new system, there will be no distance gaps in your bag and no confusion on what club your hybrid actually replaces.
The 3DX family of hybrids feature three high performance shafts from the world’s premier shaft manufacturers. The 75-gram Aldila NV hybrid shaft is used, making Nickent the only manufacturer tooffer this stable yet easier to load genuine NV shaft. Also available in graphite is the higher-launching UST SR2 graphite shaft. For players who prefer the weight and feel of steel, the Nippon 950 shaft is available in an S/R shaft option.
