The Nickent company motto is "Get Better, Get Good." They say it is meant to represent every level of golfer, from low to high handicap. Their goal is to utilize the latest in golf invention to make the game as easy as possible.

Their remarkable success with the 3DX Ironwood on Tour is attributed to it being a multi-purpose scoring club that can immediately help lower your score. Now Nickent has another club scorching the Tour's leader-boards and vastly improving play in the PIPE Putter. Take a look at one weekend in the life of Nickent Golf...

What's Inside"

- 2004 Champions Tour Player of the Year chooses 3DX

- 3DX earns 23 Top 10's in 16 events on Nationwide Tour

- New PIPE Putter gives LPGA player best finish ever

- JR plays some of the best golf of his life at Stan Humphries Classic

3DX Ironwood

The 3DX hybrid experienced a Top 10 finish on the Champions Tour by the 2004 Champions Tour Player of the Year, a former Masters winner and 13-time PGA Tour champion. Nickent has no representation on the Champions Tour, but all it took was the son of the golfing legend hitting a few balls with the 3DX in front of his dad. His PGA Tour rookie son has earned $167,265 this year with the 3DX Ironwood in the bag.

The 3DX Ironwood earned two Top 10's on the Nationwide Tour this weekend at the Virginia Beach Open, giving the hybrid a total of seven 3DX Top 10's after only five events this year. In its 16 events since its introduction to the Nationwide Tour, the 3DX has earned an amazing 23 Top Ten finishes.

PIPE Putter

The new PIPE Putter scored a Top 5 finish at the LPGA Tour's Corona Morelia Championship Sunday, the best performance ever on the LPGA by that player. The PIPE Putter was introduced to an exclusive amount of players at the LPGA Takefuji Classic last week. After only two days of testing, three LPGA players put the innovative 3-D alignment based PIPE Putter in play. The results were immediate. Every player had their best week putting on the 2005 Tour, with every player decreasing their amount of putts by over three strokes!

"We picked up the PIPE on Wednesday afternoon and she really liked the way that it felt," said the caddy of one of the players. "We put it in the bag Thursday morning and proceeded to hit only 25 putts in the first round. It is a really great feeling and performing putter."

Jeremy Roenick

Jeremy Roenick finished T-7th at the Stan Humphries Celebrity Classic in San Diego this weekend, shooting rounds of 66-74-80-68, or 4 over par. JR said it is some of the best golf he has ever played and he owes much of it to his new PIPE Putter. "That was as good as I have ever putted on Tour," said Roenick. "I had great touch around the green and I hammered all my putts into the back of the cup. On Sunday I birdied 3 par 3's. If it wasn't for Saturday, I feel like I could have won."
