Golf Develops
3DX Pro FW for PGA TOUR
It may seem strange that the company that helped make the
hybrid golf club the hottest category in golf is turning
its attention fairway woods, but that’s exactly what
Nickent Golf is up to in 2007.
“Before the hybrid explosion, Nickent was always known
as a driver and fairway wood company,” said Nickent
CEO Michael Lee. “John Hoeflich and I decided to get
back to our roots and this time design fairway woods exclusively
with the PGA Tour player in mind.”
The 3DX Pro FW is a “straight off the Tour van”
product that will be available in limited quantities and
that will be sold as a prototype for the serious golfer
who wants to play a hot, low launch, low spin fairway wood.
To be a widely praised fairway wood on the PGA Tour, the
club must preserve the classic looks of a persimmon club
of old while combining cutting-edge science that outperforms
the giants of the industry. At the tail end of the 2006
PGA Tour, the 3DX Pro FW was put into play by multiple PGA
Tour winners, and that popularity has carried over into
2007.
“This club was put into play by several PGA Tour players
at the last couple of events on the PGA Tour and the buzz
among players spread quickly,” said Lee. “In
fact, many players said it was one of the finest looking
fairway woods they have laid their eyes on. Then they hit
it and immediately put it into play.”
Designer of the club, John Hoeflich, made sure the tour
players would take notice of the new design with both good
looks and one-of-a kind technology.
The COR of the face 3DX Pro FW is equal to the hottest driver
faces on the market today. With a .082 COR, players will
be crushing controlled shots off the tee on tighter holes
where danger lurks.

Two Tungsten
Polymer XW Inserts on the back of the club head work to
make the club head more stable at impact and can be adjusted
for directional control. This does make the head more forgiving
and offers a crisp feel that has less vibration and a lively
sweet spot. It is the first fairway wood to utilize Tungsten
Polymer, which is the driving material behind the XW Insert
technology Nickent now utilizes in irons, hybrids, and drivers.
The 3DX Pro FW has more weight built into the crown for
a higher CG. This means that the club is for high swing
speed, skilled players looking for lower spin and launch
and to maximize distance off the tee and on longer holes.
Another
tour-like quality is that the 3DX Pro FW is one of the few
tour shaped fairway woods that can be bent up to 4-degrees
of loft and lie. This combined with the fact that it can
be adjusted for directional control with its adjustable
XW Inserts, and you have one of the most customized and
tour spec fairway woods on the market.
The head cover that comes with the 3DX FW Pro will be stitched
prototype, and the premium Aldila VS Prototype shaft that
it will come standard with the club. The VS shaft was one
of the most popular shafts on the PGA Tour last year and
was in the bag of the US Open winner. The shaft weighs 81
grams and will be available in R,S and X flexes.
The MSRP of the 3DX Pro FW with the Aldila VS shaft is $299.
It is available in limited quantities.
