Go BUCKS!!!

I like the set up and Nickent don't get the props they should. I've got a buddy who plays those wedges and he loves his!

[hacker17]

Those Nickent irons look great.

[Fade2Left]

Like the bag, especially the driver.  How does it work for you?  I thought about trying one.

[joekelli]

I love the driver!  I like it so much it is what made me decide to get their irons.  It is a very forgiving driver with classic looks. I have the Tour Spec model  with the V2 shaft and I have no problems working the ball when I need too.  Although I have to work a little harder because it does like to go straight. I have not hit one with the stock SR3 but I have heard it was not very good for most people. If you are thinking about getting one just do it. For the price you can get them now it is a steal!

The wedges I picked up because old sand wedge that was wore out. I wanted to try a gap and a lob(never had them) so I figured as cheap as these were it was worth a shot. I ended up loving them and I figure why spend the $ when I like what I have.

The Irons just showed up from UPS yesterday. It is 60degrees here today so I am going to the range!!!!!! But just hitting the PW in the back yard I can tell how soft feeling these things are! Cant wait till the range opens! You can get the irons on ebay for $149 shipped. what a deal!

[joekelli]

Just got to hit all my new clubs today and I am very happy with my purchases! The Irons are like butter. They have a great feel and I am glad I went with the Nippons over the DG300's. I was able to work the ball just fine with these irons. Not as easy as with a blade but very do-able. They feel as soft as a forged iron and were just a joy to hit. The Hybrid was awesome as well.  I was pounding it out there to about 240yds on the fly with no problem. I think this will be my go to club without a doubt!

Go Bucks!! very nice bag!!

[Pinehurst1999]

You should consider the Nickent Arc wedges...pretty cheap and amazing for the $, just like those irons!

[joekelli]

If I come up with some extra cash I might have to get those wedges. But I am thinking that might be next years new item. Money is tight right now and I would rather play more rounds then buy anything alse at the moment.

If I do I think I might have to go to a 50, 54 & 58 because of the strong lofts on the 3dx pro's.

[BILLYMALOOLY]

Very nice! I had those irons last year. You can find them on e-bay for 175. I should have kept them,They were the softest irons i ever hit. And some of the best looking irons as well

[joekelli]

I have been going to my home course to practice my short game the last couple of weeks and have found out a couple of things!

1. I am switching back to my Odyssey #2 putter.( I just like the weight and toe hang better on the #2 style. My stroke is just better with that style.)

2. I am keeping the Burrows wedges in play. (Still love the feel and I am chipping the ball really well.)


Here are the 2 putters. Will switch if my putting goes south!

[joekelli]

Traded the Wilson 8861 for a Bobby Grace Sunset putter. It is now in the bag!

[golfer123412345]

solid setup!
i live in australia but i still want your headcover

[Jimbo999]

Bet you love that pitching wedge now don't you Joe!

I might need to have it bronzed after the hole in one!  

I love my setup still. The only thing I might change for next year is to get a real 3 wood instead of the 3dx utility FW 13*.  It is great out of the rough and off the fairway but I think I want something better off the tee. The face is just too shallow to be consistant off the tee. Plus I dont hit it much further than the 17* ironwood.

[tjewell1994]

interesting...

[cmilz99]

definitely give the adams fwy metals a shot.  They are solid clubs, and for the price, come with a GREAT Stock shaft.  The prolaunch blue is the real deal, and the matrix is a good shaft as well.  The faces are HOT, too!!!
