The Nickent Women's 3DX DC Ironwood has a thinned face to create a much higher coefficient of restitution (COR) than the original 3DX Ironwood. A special plasma welding process was used to help redistribute the weight to the extreme perimeters of the clubhead. Forty grams of weight were moved down and back in the clubhead using two tungsten-polymer fused inserts called XW Inserts. That's almost 60-percent more adjustable weight in the clubhead than the leading adjustable-weight hybrid club. Nickent has used this opportunity to create a club that is perfectly weighted to the extreme heel and toe for the straightest and most forgiving setup on the market. This unique feature gives Nickent the ability to make the DC Ironwood the same shape as the Tour favorite 3DX Ironwood, while increasing the moment of inertia (MOI) by 25-percent. Nickent has designed this club with a high-launching UST SR2 graphite shaft, and it is available in a variety of models and lofts. About XW Inserts
The XW Inserts are a fusion of polymer and tungsten. By using polymer around the outside of the insert, Nickent has the ability to vary the mass of the insert without being bulky or taking away from proper clubhead design. XW Inserts are also used to move the center of gravity (CG) of the head to insure proper weight distribution and eliminate the "pull hooks" produced by many of the leading hybrid designs. What is the Coefficient of Restitution (COR)?
The Coefficient of Restitution, referred to as COR in golf circles, is a measurement of the clubface's ability to rebound the ball, expressed as a percentage that is determined by a ball's speed off the clubhead divided by the speed at which it struck the clubhead. The term crept into popular golf vernacular with the rise of ultra-thin-faced drivers. An effect of thin faces is known as the "spring-like effect" or "trampoline effect"--the face of the driver depresses as the ball is struck, then rebounds. This provides a little extra power to the shot, and a club that exhibits this property will have a very high COR. Of course, the USGA has imposed maximum CORs to level the "spring-like effect" playing field. For a club to be allowed under USGA rules, it must have a maximum COR of 0.830.
