That is true, you can find Nickent stuff for dirt cheap. The downfall is that you don't have the quality assurance of the product or the comforting fact that you know they are there if there are any issues.

fozcycle Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I found a deal on their 3Dx DC's last year at Dick's. so good, that I bought the 1,2,3 & 4 Hybrids. I paid about $80 after my Dick's reward points were used.....That way I can switch them around based upon the course, wind and weather conditions. I generally carry the #2 hybrid. I also think they were on the right track with the 3DX RC combo set. It looks like a terrific set.

lilhellmaker Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Looks like an interesting design, it probably used their CYG hosel. Too bad they went under, I'm playing a 4DX with a Project X 6A3 and it is butter! RIP Nickent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tider Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I thought that they thought out of the box. I hated to see them bite the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted March 3, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted March 3, 2010 They had some interesting milled putters coming to market too. I liked the green paintfill on the clubs. Unique visual.

jarnol18 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 the green paint somewhat cheapened their clubs, but they were for sure a quality company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted March 4, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted March 4, 2010 the green paint somewhat cheapened their clubs, but they were for sure a quality company. Maybe true, but the smaller companies have to do something to get the product noticed by the consumer. Obviously it was not enough. It seems like more people liked the clubs than actually bought them.

It seems like more people liked the clubs than actually bought them. I agree with the paint scheme for Nickent. They had to do something to stand out in a crowd of OEM's. Nickent made some good products. My last driver was the 4DX and it was one of the best drivers I have owned. I would still be playing it if it was lower in loft.

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It is sad that in innovative company like Nickent tied its future to interchangeable shaft drivers and went belly up. However, that is the way the market is supposed to work.

Addicted2Golf Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 So what really happened with Nickent? I thought they were really doing well on the mini tours with their hybrids. Did their investment in interchangeable shafts really lead to their downfall or were there other contributing factors involved?

Did their investment in interchangeable shafts really lead to their downfall or were there other contributing factors involved? I would be interested in this too. The closing seemed really fast. I thought that they actually had a buzz growing with their product. Green looked good to me too...
