They are a cast stainless steel clubhead with an exceptionally deep cavity covered by a graphite cap.
The irons are designed along much the same lines as Callaway’s popular Fusion irons. There are two stories here: the construction of the clubs and the loft progression through the set. Probably because they were designed as a line extension of the hybrids, not necessarily from scratch as part of this set, the accent graphics are green instead of the red on the irons. The hybrids have a shallow face, moderate offset and feature a glossy black painted crown.

Playing with me the other day as I tested the hybrids, my good friend and PGA pro dubbed the hybrid “the cloven hoof.” But beauty is as beauty does, and as I’ll relate later, these clubs work. They are uniquely shaped and, to my eye, just a little awkward looking. Truthfully, I wonder how much design input Hoeflich had on these clubs. The two hybrid clubs, on the other hand, bear more a family resemblance to Nickent’s earlier hybrid offerings. The two lower scoring lines are filled with white paint to help with alignment. And while the head is polished, the top line and face are bead blasted to avoid glare. Coupled with the very tasteful graphics and the highly polished stainless steel head it makes for a very, very classy-looking club.
The entire set shares the same shaft and the larger iron heads blend nicely with the two hybrid clubs.Ī graphite cap covers the cavity back and has a glossy clear finish revealing the woven graphite fabric pattern. But it’s the shape of the iron face that’s most appealing and where you see most of the designer’s touch in evidence. In the playing position they display a fairly thick top line and considerable offset. You can see that same master’s touch in the 3DX Hybrid irons. Hoeflich’s 8-iron in the old Tommy Armour 845’s is one of the most beautiful ever designed. Most designers acknowledge that the 8-iron is the most difficult to conjure up as it is the transition club between the mid irons and short irons. Hoeflich is a proven master when it comes to iron esthetics. With a lot of offset, and all that forgiveness, they seem to be pitching these clubs at slower swingers and older players.
They’ve brought the concept to market by marrying two of their proven hybrid clubs with extreme perimeter-weighted irons that range from a 5-iron to a pitching wedge, including a 10-iron. Loft progression through the set results in extremely strong mid-irons and weaker short irons. What this means is that there is no longer a gap in loft between the shortest hybrid and the longest iron. The Nickent 3DX Hybrid irons are designed from the hybrids on down. Their latest offering is an evolutionary – maybe even revolutionary – take on set makeup. Hoeflich and, with his expertise, launched itself into the iron market in a big way. Barzeski, reported in his review of the Nickent 3DX Pro irons, Nickent has taken on noted club designer John B.
