This hybrid system allows you to attain the optimum distance control and trajectory. The 3DX DC Ironwood has 14 hybrid lofts - one club every 1.5 degrees from 14 ° to 26 °. XW Inserts are also used to move the center of gravity of the head to ensure proper weight distribution and eliminate the “pull hooks” produced by many of the leading hybrid designs. 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. The XW Inserts are a fusion of polymer and tungsten. 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%. That’s almost 60% more adjustable weight in the clubhead than in the leading adjustable weight hybrid! 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. Forty grams of weight were moved down and back in the head using two tungsten-polymer fused inserts (XW Inserts). A special plasma welding process was used to help redistribute the weight to the extreme perimeters of the clubhead. To create an even hotter and more forgiving hybrid, Nickent thinned the face of the 3DX DC, creating a much higher COR than the original 3DX Ironwood. 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.

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. How do you make the # 1 hybrid model on the Nationwide Tour and # 3 on the PGA Tour even better? Introducing the 3DX DC Ironwood.
