5900 vs FTi vs Nickent 3Dx tour sq

Cwing · February 18, 2009

Can anyone compare?

I hit the Nike 5900 9.5* at a demo last year and hit it well. I did not hit it long enough to get a feel for lenght.

I own the Callaway Fti 10* draw and it is the straightest club I have played. However, I get very little roll out. When I nut it is is short compared to my Ft 3 10* draw.

I have heard the Nickent 3Dx Tour square has less spin and longer than the either of the above. Any comparions out there?

i love my 5900 best driver i have ever had.. i don't get much roll with it either, but it keeps me out of trouble it is straight and consistent.. i don't think it will ever leave my bag..

I have owned an FT-i and 2 versions of the Nickent Square driver and my co-worker has the 5900 so I have hit it quite a bit as well. The Nickent is actually a little louder and uglier to look at while at address, but performs far better. I have had driver affairs and tried to replace my Nickent 12* Square several times, yet it is still in the bag. It is a fairway magnet, especially for drivers wayyyy off the toe. I have found it to be more forgiving on toe hits then the Nike is for my swing, and it is longer as well. For me we measured about 15 yards further 255-265 for the Nickent and 240-250 for the Nike. My co-worker is about 220-225 with his Nike and about 5 yards further with the Nickent, he is about a 90 ss compared to my 102. So his is a regular flex and mine is stiff, but there was a clear difference in our opinion.

However, he and many others, can not stand to look at the Nickent Square at address and the sound is hideous, but that does not matter any to me. Hope this helps.

I've had the Nike 5900 8.5 degree,Ft-1 9 -Seemed short and Still have 3DX NICKENT 9 degree, which is a fairway finder . I had 2 shafts in the 5900 an still didn't run for me.(Spin is high) BUT I have a Nike Square 8.5 TOUR(Like clink and choi play) and that club runs. Nothing like the 5900, but still easy to hit fairways. I have to many clubs so I'm selling the Nike Square Tour 8.5 also, but I hate to. Of the 3 listed I would take the Nickent. Nike Square tour is better distance and sound.

Forgot to mention why I got rid of my FT-i...I had a 10* with a graphalloy blue shaft and it was straight, but it was everything I had in me to get the ball out there 250 yards. It was 240-250 at most for me. I have had other drivers, including the Nickent Supermag that I could driver about 270-275 but struggle to find fairways with it, so the Nickent has been the perfect combination of distance and fairway finding for me.

I did have a 10.5* Nickent Square that cracked at the head and that cracked my heart, cause it was money and they are not making them so Nickent could not replace it, but they have offered to replace it with a 4dx SE. That Tour 10.5* was the only club that stayed in my bag over my regular Nickent 12* Square for any time. I could not make the FT-i go, not sure if it was a spin rate thing or not, but drives that felt crushed just did not get out there. I ended up selling it for about $150 to a friend to get some $ back.
