Well, I have gotten to play 9 holes and 18 holes with my new irons, Nickent 3DX Pros, and the results were great. I shot my best 18 in over ten years. This is not strictly from the clubs as I have been working really hard on my game lately, but the hard work and new irons have paid dividends. The biggest difference I notice with these is the feel and feedback they give versus my previous Cobras. I know instantly how well (or poorly) I've struck the ball. They are still quite forgiving on mis-hits, but communicate the quality of the strike to me. I bought these thinking they would be a good stepping stone from game improvement cavity backs to traditional forged blades and my early results would indicate they will exactly fill that role.
