    Just got this Nickent 3DX Ironwood DC Hybrid W/ Heacover (2/17* - UST Proforce V2 Stiff Shaft) on eBay last night for less than $15 (shipping included). I don't need another 2H since I hit my current Adams Tech OS 2H/17* (Graphic design 6 hybrid shaft) very well. here is a chance for me to test the ProForce V2 shaft. I had a Nickent gaybrid before, like the head but not the OEM shaft so I gave it to my Bro... I am hoping that this 2H gaybrid would bring ball trajectory down somewhat compared to my Adams Tech OS

    I got one of those several months ago at a Play It Again for around $15 with the stiff UST made-for-Nickent shaft. I hit three balls with it and immediately pulled the shaft and put a V2 84 gram regular flex shaft that had been in a Taylormade Rescue Mid. It improved it somewhat but I think that head is relatively unforgiving and sits maybe a bit open so that well-struck shots tend to go right. I doubt if it will make it into my bag because the Cleveland Titanium Launcher 5 wood seems to be much better for me off fairway and low tee.

    Mongrel... something came up so I could not play today but I found time and went to a local range and tested this club vs. my Adams tech OS 2H... both are 17*, ProForce V2 S-flex vs Graphic Design 6 hybrid shaft. Absolutely the S-flex bring trajectory down to my liking and distance is about the same with added benefit of tighter ball dispersion... I don't have SS for S-flex but sh$$$t it works for me and I don't have to kill a ball... So, my hypothesis is that if I cut my current Adams gaybrid 1/2 at the tip then I would make it stiffer (?) and bring its trajectory down (?)... What do U think (and other Pros out there)?. I called my PGA professional at Dicks for his opinion but he's off today. I will contact him again tomorrow

    Thanks guys/girls/AC-DC

    Tipping that shaft one half inch should make it slightly stiffer and bring the trajectory down. Or you could just play the Nickent. One manufacturer's stiff is another's limp dick.

    I recently put a Nickent 3/20* 3DX Aldila NV Hybrid 75-R in my bag. Awesome club. Straight as an arrow!
