[Wi-Golfer]

Got the new Nickent driver today, just in time to play 18. Stats are 10.5º with a Stiff flex Proforce V2. Hit the driving range & went thru about 15 balls to get a feel for it before I actually used it on the course. Been swing my FT-3 kind of wildly lately & never sure where the ball is going to end up, not so with this club. 1st drive was right down the middle for 235 yds per the Golflogix GPS. On the front 9 I hit 6 out of the 7 fairways & on the back I didn't do as well only hitting 4 of 7 but still 10 for 14 isn't bad & those other 4 didn't miss by much, 5ft at the most.

Ok so it's straight, how's the distance? Well I am no monster hitter & tend to drive 220-240 yds with the occasional oddball punch out to 270. This club didn't disappoint on distance, had several drives in the upper 230's & low 240's with 243 being the best.

Only 2 negatives I can find right now are the sound, it sounds a lot like the square Nike Sumo. And if you have off center hits your distance will really suffer, the balls still go straight, just not very far straight. The FT-3 can still pound them out even on off center hits, this club let's you know immediately you have not swung well. I also don't care for the standard sized grip, prefer midsized but that's an easy swap.

Right now this club is definitely going to be in the bag, if you can't hit a straight drive with this club then there isn't a club out there which will help you. It has a nice clean look with no busy graphics, is easy to line up & feels pretty good when swinging it.
