#Nickent 3dx ironwood 3 hybrid 20* driver

The former are ideal for better players who want forgiveness but are not so concerned with distance. The sets come in either steel ($599) or graphite ($699) shafts. Who these very solid clubs are for are mid- to high-handicappers who are looking for greater forgiveness, playability, or length in their irons (and off the tee, as well). If youР’вЂ™re a low-handicap player who likes a thin top-line and fine-tuned workability, why are you even reading about a hybrid set, anyway? Who TheyР’вЂ™re ForР”Р‡irst, who the Nickent Genex 3DX are not for. In both rounds, his only complaint was that he was hitting the clubs so far and so straight that the ball kept rolling through the greens. His first swing in Philly was from a lousy lie in the rough, resulting in a perfect high draw around trees to the middle of the par-5Р’вЂ™s fairway. He found that 260 yards was shorter than he was used to with the big stick, but 260 in the fairway is better any day than 290 yards O.B.Р”Р‡inally, following warmer temperatures to Philly for a Thanksgiving Day round and Indy for a Christmas Day round, I lent the set to a mid-20s handicap senior who can still bust it off the tee, but has always struggled with iron play.

The 17-degree 2-ironwood soon replaced his driver off the tee. He, too, had to slow down his swing, and when he did, the results were spectacular.

On a subsequent 18-hole round, I lent the Genex 3DX set to a high-teens handicap playing partner who swings smooth but fast. IР’вЂ™m not used to hitting 200-yard 5-irons. In fact, I realized that on the course the main trouble would be hitting the ball TOO FAR. Once I slowed my swing down, though, the ball literally rocketed off the face of every club, from sand wedge up through 2-ironwood, which I was belting nearly as far as my driver that day. My first swings were far too fast, and the weighting and offset (combined with my handsy swing) produced some wicked hooks. The iron heads have quite wide top-lines, and at address look nothing like my usual irons. How They PlayР”В«efore the snow flew in New England, I took the Genex 3DX irons (graphite shaft with both iron and ironwood versions of the 6- and 5-irons) out to the range and swung them first myself. Combined with the progressive offset, this weighting makes these irons and ironwoods very difficult to slice. The weighting system is called Extreme 3D Weighting, referring to a three-dimensional hollow cast, with weight in all lofts moved lower, deeper, and toward the heel. The result is a visually appealing Р’В- sexy, even Р’В- set of sticks. As such, the progression of shaft length, weighting, off-set, and loft flow seamlessly all the way up from the 55-degree sand wedge to the 17-degree 2-ironwood. The Genex ironwoods (starting with either the 6-, 5-, or 4-ironwood, depending on your preference) are not replacement clubs for traditional irons, as is the case with other hybrid sets.

What sets the Nickent Genex 3DX apart from other hybrids is that the Genex was designed and engineered from start to finish as a hybrid set. Р’вЂў The Orlimar SF 302 Irons: Putting The Weight Where It Counts Р’вЂў Thomas AT 505 Irons Helps you Hit the Bulls-Eye
