    Mark, great video. Congrats on 171!!!! Personally, when I want a new driver I wait until the all the new stuff is out and last years or even the 2-year old models which are still available brand new in the plastic get deeply discounted. For what ever reason Srixon, Mizuno, Cleveland and especially Tour Edge, their previous year models are often more than 1/2 off the price even when still brand new in the plastic. For example a Srixon Golf ZX5 LS MKII Driver, brand new in the plastic can now be had for $175 to $200 USD. This is with all the shaft options still available.
    So, when I see a club I like I put a note with the driver and the specs I want on my electronic calendar to check back in a year or two and see how inexpensively I can get it. Granted it's like you are living 2 years in the past, but its a great way to save a lot of money on clubs.

      @pbode1 12 дней назад +1

      Second that. Spend the difference on lessons. My ex-demo Mizuno got discounted by almost 200 EUR still in the same year it was released.

      @HaloHiFi1 12 дней назад +3

      Same thinking for me. I got the '21 ZX5 in '23 for $190 shipped and would love to "steal" the ZXi in a couple of years if I'm still vertical. Would I also love a Cobra DS Adapt, Ping G440 or TN Qi 35? Of course, but Srixon, Mizuno, Wilson and even Tour Edge are where the bargains will be (Cobra, too, unless the DS Adapt stays up there longer). Oh, to be a famous RUclips pro and get to play with all these wonderful playthings...

      Excellent advice excellent. As I needed a driver that gives me all the help it could possibly give me, I actually got a Wilson Launchpad 2 driver that was close to $400 new, still in the plastic wrapper for about $125 US. It was a year and a half old but with Wilson pivoting to the Dynapower products at cratered in price and I just smiled as I said thank you.
      Love My driver, is helping me hit fairways even though I still can't hit very long. Keeping an eye on what you want until it gets to be an older model it's the way to go for cell phones, TVs, and golf equipment.

    I'm a huge Srixon fan, love thier gear and put my money whete my mouth is on that with a full Srixon bag! Really looking forward to trying these but i am surprised at the cost. Whilst their tech and performance absolutely backs it up, part of the appeal was always that you felt it was such good performance for the money and not inflated prices like the "bigger" brands.

  • @saberman1
    @saberman1 12 дней назад +1

    I currently play the Srixon ZX5 LS 10.5 with the HZRDUS Black shaft. Absolutely love it. Can't wait to get my hands on the new LS. I love the sound, the looks, and the performance. I have tried most of the drivers over the last 30 years and Srixon is a top performer for me. Ping is close second. Used to like TaylorMade but really hate carbon face drivers now. Love the feel and build quality of Titleist but they seem slightly harder to hit for me. Srixon rocks. Been on the fence about dumping my TM P790's and moving into Srixon irons. ZXi5 sitting right on the fence.

    I know you'd correctly say "get fit" regarding which is best in any club category But at times i wish you weren't sponsored so you could tell us G440 max was better or not etc. Don't get me wrong, for someone who is sponsored you dance around it very well and your content is A+ It's just not everyone can get fit so the rack buyers rely on others comparing apples.

    I’m really brand agnostic when it comes to drivers. I go to the same excellent place to get fitted and what works the best with head and shaft combination is the one I go with. (Not very often I might add - still playing Rogue ST Max with Tour AD XC shaft from 3 years ago) Point being, if it’s Srixon then I’d buy it without a second hesitation. Srixon have huge bag appeal imo. If I had to, I’d have a full bag of them and nobody would turn their nose up at them.

    Great looking drivers amongst the very best looking this year and definitely very underrated. If the performance matches or beats the equivalent from Ping, Titleist, TM & Callaway then I have no problem with them being priced in the same range as those although I think Srixon would do better to have them £100 cheaper.
    Really like the look of Mark's Penguin jumper as well

    Man listen, I got a ZX5 MKII LS as a throw in piece for a Ping driver I had. Basically in new condition. Gamed it all year last year, and it's easily one of the very best drivers I have ever used. If these perform better than that, I will absolutely game it in 2025.

      @@MarkCrossfield No doubt. I had never played one, or really even swung a Srixon driver. And after getting it, I just though "What the hell" and decided to swing it. I knew I could just trade it away if I didn't like it or it didn't work for me. Started with a HZRDUS Black gen 4, and eventually put in a Tour AD HD-6 I had from that Ping I traded away, and that thing absolutely came alive! It's sneaky long, and one of, if not the most consistent drivers I've ever used. Absolutely Love it!

    Good video Mark, they are very good drivers BUT coming from a company that is not in the top four the pricing needs to be significantly less than the other brands in order to sway people to want to purchase them. They are pricing themselves up too close to other manufacturers. The same as happening with Wilson. The new stuff isn’t any better, and seriously if you go back to 2018 to 2021 the drivers were just as long even longer for distance and the dispersion was so close. It is like splitting hairs. Distance has come very little by most companies… some of the other drivers from 3 to 8 years ago perform better. And you can save your money for playing the game.

    I only started playing a bit over a year ago and got a ZX Mk II driver almost exactly a year ago. Absolutely love it and it has really helped me to improve but the head cracked on it after about 6 months. Srixon were great and replaced it no problem. In the past week it is feeling like it has cracked again though (the noise off the face is different, duller in sound, and my distances have suddenly dropped too) Last time I could clearly see the crack but this time there is no obvious crack. Has anyone else here had this sort of issue with Srixon clubs?

    The cost of golf clubs is staggering. Personally, I could never justify spending that amount of money on a single club. An old golf pro, this is time related, but still serves up well today, said in our club magazine, before you spend £250 on a new driver, spend £50 on some lessons you may find you get better value for money. Nothing will change as long as people try to buy a game. Buy last season's model as the new model cannot be much better, it will be a lot cheaper.

      @MarkCrossfield probably not much noticeable difference to last model or even the model before lol as you've proven in the past. Still favourite RUclips golfer as far as telling the truth about numbers etc keep up the good work. More vlogs with Locky needed

    $550 is too much money, sorry Srixon, I love your stuff but you need to realise where your woods are at in the current market. I think if they looked a bit sexier, they muscle in on the big boy companies.

    I miss my 171. 169 fastest last year. Seem to only be getting slower

      That’s a tinny difference. I have loads of days where I can’t hit 168s

      @@MarkCrossfield yes, its funny. Some days I can hit 166 and some days I can't break 160. And I have autoflex still!

    My argument with this is if you are spending 600 plus what difference is a extra like 20/30. But maybe I have been brainwashed by capitalism to much 😢

    I think after another 20 minutes of swinging, you could probably get 172 ball speed.
