The good news just keeps
pouring in for Nickent! This week, after enjoying
their first ever major championship last week
at the US Open, the attention is back on their
“hot” new 4DX Driver.
After a non-staff player won with the 4DX
Driver three weeks ago, the 4DX has been the
buzz of the tour. Eleven 4DX Drivers were
in play last week at the Knoxville Open, including
the 2nd place finisher, Nickent staff player
and Nationwide Tour rookie Kyle McCarthy.
Scott Gardiner, a Nickent staff member from
Australia, finished 5th with the 4DX Driver
in his bag and Kevin Gessino-Kraft collected
his third Top 20 in his last 4 events since
switching to the Nickent driver.
Four players using the 4DX Tour Spec Driver
finished in the Top 25 at the Knoxville Open.
There was one player who carried both a Draw
Spec and a Tour Spec version of the 4DX Driver
to utilize two different ball flights, while
another player had two drivers in play in
order to fit the 4DX into his bag. Nickent
is getting closer to becoming one of the elite
drivers on the Nationwide Tour. In fact, the
4DX was the 5th most played driver on the
tour at Knoxville, passing two super-power
companies in the process.
”We have to remain focused through all
of the changes we are experiencing due to
the impressive performance of our entire 2007
product line,” said Nickent Senior Vice
President John Hoeflich. “Just because
we have a winner in the 4DX Driver doesn’t
mean we stop being the King of Hybrids, but
it does add credibility to our story.”
In Knoxville, 38 Nickent hybrids were in play,
11 more than the #3 manufacturer on the Darrell
Survey hybrid count. Of Nickent’s 38
hybrids, 24 were the new 4DX featuring a .4
mm titanium crown brazed with a stainless
steel body and 15 were the club seen in the
bag of the US Open winner, the 3DX DC Ironwood.
Nickent also had a robust showing in the fairway
wood category with 13 in play.
Twelve of the 13 were the new 4DX Fairway
Wood, which was only introduced to players
three weeks ago. This easily makes the 4DX
the fastest growing fairway wood on the Nationwide
Tour.
All in all, Nickent had 60 woods in play at
the Knoxville Open, good for the # 4 overall
wood spot in the overall count conducted by
the Darrell Survey. This more than doubles
the amount of overall woods in play by four
of the "big six" golf manufacturers
in the industry.
Eight players finished in the Top 25 at the
Knoxville Open playing Nickent clubs, only
4 of which were paid staff players. |
