Nickent Women's 3DX DC Utility Club with Graphite Speed Rated 2 Shaft

To create a more forgiving hybrid, Nickent thinned the face of the 3DX DC 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.

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.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Nickent Women's 3DX DC Utility Club has a wider body that offers a higher launch and more spin compared to its ironwood counterpart. It is setup more like a fairway wood, designed for players that are looking for a higher ball flight and lower, deeper center of gravity (CG). Although marked with a fairway wood designation, this club is meant to be the answer for players seeking a fairway wood-like setup with the control and ease-of-play of a hybrid club. Nickent has designed this club with a high-launching UST SR2 graphite shaft, and it is available in a variety of models and lofts.
