This is one of the finest looking hybrids on the market. Nickent further claims that the “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.” I have more to say on whether this is an effective technology or not later on… Tungsten weights bring the center of gravity low in this club making it easy for you to elevate the ball. This club is designed to help you get the ball up in the air and hit it straight in the process. The Ironwood has 24% more MOI or “moment of inertia,” which is a scientific marketing lingo for “resistance to twisting,” than the previous Ironwood. In addition to the new clubface, forty grams of weight have been moved to the bottom of the club to help you get the ball airborne and to either side of the club to help you hit it straight. CoR is an acronym for “coefficient of restitution,” which is scientific marketing lingo for “efficiency of energy transfer.” Basically the new Ironwood transfers more of your power to the golf ball than the original. To begin, a new, thinner face was implemented to deliver a higher CoR than the first Ironwood. Nickent’s original 3DX Ironwood was an excellent club, but in 2005 Nickent set out to improve upon their original design. Nickent’s 3DX Ironwood DC has a hot face with a pleasing “tink” at impact. A recent Nickent press release boasted, “At the Nationwide Tour’s Rheem Classic in Arkansas, 45 Nickent hybrids were in play,” which accounted for 36% of all hybrids. Todd Hamilton may singlehandedly be responsible for pushing hybrids into the public’s consciousness when he used a Sonartec hybrid to win the 2004 British Open, but companies like Nickent have picked up the ball and run with it. These clubs couldn’t be better for amateurs. There has been considerable buzz surrounding Nickent’s hybrids for some time. I’ve wanted to put one of these hybrids through its paces for some time and recently picked one up to see what all the buzz was about.

The 3DX Ironwood DC is an upgrade to the popular 3DX Ironwood. Nickent released the 3DX Ironwood DC earlier this year along with the 3DX Utility DC. Thanks to companies like Nickent, a recent and significant manufacturer of hybrid clubs, our confidence from about 170 to 230 yards has been restored. Sweet-spots the size of neutrons are but a vague and unpleasant memory. No longer does one need to fear the 1-iron, the 2-iron, the 3-iron, or even the 4-iron. The 5DX Ironwood features a Fujikura, Level 5ive Fujikura shaft features an exclusive graffiti design.Let’s face it: we are the beneficiaries of significant advances in club technology. The 5DX Ironwood can be used from all types of lies whether off the tee or when trying to land on the green on a Par 5. New cambered sole glides through the turf with ease, and beveled leading edge makes it easier to hit from all types of lies. The XW inserts combined with the wings create a super-high hybrid MOI of 3130. The weighting includes two tungsten-polymer Nickent patented XW inserts, and a custom aluminum or tungsten weight plug, two grams each, on the sole. The back of the 5DX Ironwood is important because of the extreme perimeter weighting. The 5DX Ironwood features Nickent's patented A-Frame technology, usually found in drivers, that increases the size of the sweet spot as well as creating a better center of gravity. The lightweight face is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges to provide a more constant ball speed. The wings are hidden at the address position. The sight lines on the 5DX Ironwood were designed with the player in mind. The wings however do not distract the player's sight lines. The increased MOI will lead to straighter shots as well as an increase in distance.
The wings on the back of the 5DX ironwood optimize the center of gravity and increase the moment of inertia for superior forgiveness.

The increased MOI, which surpasses that of most fairway woods on the market, plus stronger lofts means a significant increase in distance. New "wings" on the back of the clubhead were designed by Nickent master designer John Hoeflich to optimize the center of gravity (CG) and increase the Moment of Inertia (MOI) for superior forgiveness. With their 5th generation design, the King of Hybrids™ has produced an all stainless steel hybrid with a new geometrical shape that places discretionary weight to the extreme perimeters of the clubhead.
