New hybrid in the bag....

I took warbirdlover's advice and bought a Nickent 3DX DC 23*. UPS just delivered it today, so I haven't had a chance to hit it yet. Just looking at it, I like it. It is just slightly longer than the 4 iron it will be replacing, and the head is small with a very slight roll and bulge, like a fairway wood. I'm hoping that will allow me to hit it straighter than my other hybrids that had a flat face.

Heading to the range after work.

Welcome to the club.

Not sure I like mine any more or less than a 4iron but it works when I hit it correctly. Compliments my 5iron well as I can hit it a little longer than the 5iron and a higher flight. The 200 marker is the new 150.

I hit mine forever... just wish I could hit a FW that well. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new toy

It has taken me a few swings to learn how to hit my Nickent, but I'm becoming more comfortable and am happy to have it ITB. So if the first day does not go as you had hoped give it a little time and effort and I think you will be very happy with the club.

I have one swing thought with a hybrid... "Hit this 7iron 160" I have trouble when I start trying to move it around in my stance. Hit it like a mid iron and it's gold.

Good luck with it Doc. Keep us informed how it goes.

Just a quick range session with it last night. My first swing with it was a pull hook. Second swing was a straight shot with just a touch of draw on it, about 185 yards.

This club looks and feels great. And it makes a nice "whack!" sound on contact, not the "ting!" I was getting with some hybrids.

I did hit some balls that were a little off line, both left and right, but no big hooks or slices.

The only problem is that it hits maybe a touch too long. Maybe I can learn to dial it back a little, otherwise I'm going to have a 15-20 yard gap between this 23* and my 5 iron.

My 5 wood is in danger of losing its place in the bag, if I can find a matching 20* for a good price.

Exactly HOW did you choose your name "Eraser"?

I'm not sure how "Eraser" keeps coming up. It's "Eracer", and it's a stoopid contraction of E-lectronic RACER, as in "racing around the internet."
