Nickent Takes Over as #1 Hybrid on Nationwide Tour

Nickent Takes Over as #1 Hybrid on Nationwide Tour
Press Release

Nickent Golf’s 3DX Ironwood earned the #1 hybrid ranking in the Nationwide Tour Darrell Survey club count this week, dethroning the perennial powerhouse of the hybrid category. Twenty-one 3DX’s are in play at the Mark Christopher Charity Classic, accounting for over 45% of the hybrids in play at the event. The 3DX’s ascent to #1 marks the first time anyone has ever beaten the previous #1 ranking hybrid in any U.S. professional tour club count, according to the Darrell Survey.

It only took Nickent eight events to surpass the Carlsbad, CA “giant.” The 3DX was introduced to the Nationwide players in late August at the Springfield, MO event. Since that time, the 3DX has scored seven Top 10 finishes on the PGA Tours. Many players are attributing the Nickent 3DX Ironwood as a big reason their game is being taken to the next level.

“I had lost my ability to hit certain shots,” said 20-year tour veteran and current Nationwide Tour player Steve Haskins. “When I started using the Nickent hybrid, I gained a lot of confidence and the ability to hit those shots I hit earlier in my career and also to hit shots I had never hit before. I think it’s the best hybrid on the market.”

The 3DX Ironwood is the flagship product for Nickent. The company is rolling out a new marketing slogan for the 3DX, the “King of Hybrids™,” based on the performance benefits of the club, its ultra-fast-paced success on the Tour and the fact that Nickent offers the most lofts for a hybrid in the industry (15 hybrid lofts).

“We feel the King of Hybrids™ best describes the performance of the 3DX and the amazing tour reaction it has received in such a short period of time,” said Nickent CEO Michael Lee. “It is really an amazing feat that we were able to take over the # 1 spot on the Nationwide Tour. We are a small company compared to a company like Taylor Made, and we don’t pay players ‘tee-up’ money to use our clubs. Players use the 3DX because it is a high-performance golf club and because we have so many lofts available to fit so many different needs.”

“The 3DX is the choice of the Nationwide Tour players trying to get to the next level,” said Nickent Director of Marketing Jon Claffey. “To be the #1 hybrid in play in the last few weeks of the season, when everyone is grinding to make something happen, is an extreme compliment and a huge testament to the product.”

Nickent Golf, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Michael Lee. Today, the company manufactures and distributes worldwide a complete line of drivers, irons, fairway woods, wedges, putters and accessories.
