I've Been Hybridized!

As I noted in an earlier post, I "needed" a hybrid, and after much deliberation.... well, after browsing my local Golfsmith, and seeing a sweet deal on a Nickent 3DX Ironwood, I decided to take one into the booth for a few whacks. It felt sweet from the first swing. For $59, I couldn't go wrong (thought I.)
I like the Nickent look more than any of the other hybrids I've tried - it looks more like a small-headed fairway wood because it doesn't have that two-tone look that (I suppose) is meant to make the hybrid look like an iron with a dark tumor on its back. More importantly, it doesn't have a lot of offset - something I don't like at all in any club, excepting a putter, maybe.
In keeping with my hardware procurement philosophy, I did not buy their latest 4DX, nor did I even consider the two-year-old model 3DX DC - nope, I got the first generation 3DX Ironwood, and I presume that it will perform as well as it did a couple years back when golf magazines and columns rated it highly. I expect that this new addition to my arsenal will easily out-perform my 4 iron in consistency and ease of use.
I'll report back when the weather warms, the wind stops blowing, the rain stops falling, and the grass starts growing on how well my purchase performs in the real world.
