The Nickent 3DX features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent - designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
The Nickent 3DX's 7-iron is lofted at 33° - traditional - aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 140-150 yards. The 5-iron (25°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 45° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
The Nickent 3DX (2006) 7-iron has a loft of 33°. This is a more traditionally lofted 7-iron, which keeps your scoring iron distances predictable and well-gapped.
The Nickent 3DX is a game improvement iron, designed for mid to high handicappers (typically 12-24 HCP). Handicaps roughly in the 12 to 24 range benefit most from this design.
The Nickent 3DX pitching wedge is 45°. A 50° gap wedge and 54° sand wedge would create clean separation. If you play a 60° lob wedge, a 46° and 52° pairing also works.
The Nickent 3DX is designed to feel solid and consistent - designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat. The consistent feel across the face is intentional - it builds confidence by making solid and slightly off-centre strikes feel similar.
