I’m off 8. I just bought 4-PW these after hitting a set owned by a mate. Until then I had been playing Mizuno Hot Metals. I thought the Mizunos were the ants pants. Now I can’t believe I’d been making life so hard for myself. These Srixons are soft, forgiving, long without being stupid long (just had to rejig yardages by 5-10yds), and I’ve never felt so comfortable with a club in my hands. I always think mid irons are the litmus test of any set. Im absolutely clouting 4 and 5, clubs that in the past that have always made me feel vaguely nervous relative to the rest. In fact so well am I hitting 4 that I’m contemplating dropping a hybrid for a 2 or 3 driving iron. If that’s not comfort I don’t know what is. Highly recommended. My experience has been game changing.
I recently purchased the Z585's after hitting them compared to the Mizuno 919 forged, Titlelist AP-3's, P-790's. I hit these the best of all of them. They are certainly different from Ping i15's I had played for nearly 9-10 years. I was looking for more distance and a more forgiving iron. I honestly haven't gained much distance but they are forgiving. The weighting, especially in the toe has me hitting left of my old aiming point, which is what I was looking for.
I came upon a used set at PGA Superstore sporting Miyazaki shafts and Golf Pride jumbo grips. They looked barely used and I tried the 7 iron on the sim. First hit sold me. I took them out for a full outing yesterday and I have definately become a strong Srixon fan. What a great feeling club with proper distances. Mor importantly for my game is the hit where you aim.
I swapped my irons with a mate, he gave me his srixon z525 irons. He got my Taylor Mades. Anyway, I cannot get over the confidence these clubs have given me. Maybe it's the lighter shaft, maybe it's the length, maybe it's the head. Whatever it is they feel superb. They just go straight, they go a bit longer, they look lovely. I know the video is for z585, but can't find a video on z525. Oh, btw my mate is delighted with the swap too, he's been peppering the greens with the TaylorMades. So maybe swapping irons is the way to go??
I was fitted for these by TXG in Wigan - I had a superb fitting experience there and tried eight different irons; these easily suited my game the best (PXG were a close second - but not in terms of value!)
Got fitted into the Z565 model last year. The fitting made a big difference with ball flight and trajectories. Love the set and the company. Srixon may be, top to bottom, the highest performing company in the last year or so. Clubs and balls, they stack up.
Just got fitted. These clubs produced the best numbers for me. Other clubs I tested where Taylor Made P790 Mizuno JPX919 Titleist AP3 (Second best results and feel was comparable but nowhere close to the Z585) Z585 was the 3rd iron I tested and right away even before Trackman delivered data, I knew I liked this iron. I tend to have a problem maintaining lag in my swing and hit the ball really high and my miss hits performed better than the other miss hits on the other clubs tested. So these clubs seem to work well for me.
Thaddeus Olaivar I got fitted and ended up with the srixon 585 after trying all the clubs you mentioned too. The 585 felt so damn good. They’ve improved my game on course too. They are my first clubs I’ve been fitted for and second set overall
I just got a set of the Z785s and I am adjusting to the distances from my old irons with more traditional lofts, but I do love the bit of help, distance, and feel of them.
I am so into Srixon irons, I have the older Z745 irons, tried everything and decided to be fit for the Mizuno H5 irons as they went well and felt good but the fitter suggested the Z745 and after hitting them in the fitting against the Mizuno’s I ordered a set with the Cleveland RTX wedges. They are hands down the best irons I have ever had
The review videos are pure class these days. Music, editing, absolutely spot on. This beat is dope! Crazy how far things have come since you convinced me to buy my MP54s.
I have the prior model Z765s and they are considered a more “player” iron and I absolutely love them. You can move them anyway you want and they feel great. Well worth the money if you can get away from brand alliance. Love the vids keep it up
Chalk up another fantastic review Mark! Srixon makes a tremendous product. Having gamed the Z545 irons for the last three years, I can honestly say that I have never owned a better set. Very consistent, great feeing irons for a semi game improvement set and I play to a 6 index. Originally decided to demo them based on your review. Thanks Mark!
Come on Mark, it's 1 letter "Z" followed by 3 numbers "585" ....how hard can that be. AP2 or AP3 must be easy enough but the likes of JPX 919 must be a real nightmare for you.
That was an excellent review! I have been waiting for a club like this less offset thinner top line but a lot of help in a cavity back that I need! thanks Mark!
Just purchased a full set 5-GW KBS $ Taper 120 shafts (fitted) coming from Ping i20 with CFS stiff shafts, and the difference is night and day. Much better flight, 10-15 yards consistent gain and they feel beautiful. Playing off 16 at the mo but hopefully these will get me down to single figures.....⛳️
Hi Shane, I just bought a 4-PW set of Srixon Z585s and am also looking to replace the stock shafts with either KBS $ Taper 120 shafts, or the KBS $ Taper HT (Heavy Tip) 120 shafts...any advice or feedback on what the different "heavy tip" variation would offer?
Just had a fitting was hitting them mostly out of or near the middle, improved distance and dispersion over my current Mizuno 900 HM, ordered a set. PS I’m a 19 handicapper.
To me they are a similar company to Tilteist!....no bells or whistles they are just a very good golf club that does what it's meant to!. Like titleist they don't change much from the previous model, after all, if you have something that works why change it!....good unbiased vid as always mark, keep up the good work!
Went for a fitting today. With Srixon is all about the combo options F85, U85, 785 & 585 through the bag. Got fitted and ordered today for my second set and wouldn’t go anywhere else
Interesting review thanks Mark. Have had my Z585's for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love them!! Go and give them a try, you could well be pleasantly surprised!! I was.
I gamed Srixon for several years up until recently when I switched to Ping. Their clubs are outstanding and I think they're really underrated for the quality and performance they offer. Sadly, they just don't have widespread distribution at retail shops in the US. Very similar to Bridgestone in that regard. If you can get access to them then for sure try them out, as I think most would be surprised at the quality of the clubs.
Srixon never on my radar until I went for a fitting ( out preformed AP2/3 all TaylorMade only MP18 came close)Now in the bag, great irons if you don’t try these, you may be missing something good.
I've been looking at buying these clubs for a while. I'm a clean hitting 18 handicapper and a little worried I would struggle to game them. My natural ball flight is very high so maybe a little stronger might help. Want to try them but really struggling to find a dealer within 40 miles of me!!!!! Great vid !!!
Bought these just over one week ago. I love them. When I was thinking about changing I tried the SrixonZ585 against Mizuno JPX919 Hot Metal Pro and JPX919 Forged. I took them on the course and also tried them indoors against the launch monitor. I really, really wanted to like the Mizuno JPX919 forged (they are lovely irons) but the Srixons just stood out in terms of distance, accuracy and forgiveness. Got them at a bargain price too at this time of year.
Thanda Lion; I have tried the same list yesterday, Srixon and JPX919 hot Metal. Was really close between the two, so will have to try again. What shafts did you get?
First time commenting, but I’m a long time watcher of your videos. Another solid review and I pretty much agree with everything you said. I know combo sets with these and the z785 could be good too. Thanks again and keep the reviews coming!!!
My local shop just picked up Srixon and will have a fitting cart when I get back in town... very excited to hit these... I'm a mid Hdcp and have always like Cleveland products... RTX-3 CB wedges are really nice :)
These are great for long iron replacement I game these in the 4 & 3 iron and 5-pw in the taylormade tour preferred mc (2014) which is a combo set soooooooooo........ I have a combo Combo set! What what!!!!!! Love your content Mark crossfield :)
I play last years z355 irons. Remember at my fitting they were heavier than the others I tested but I preferred that. Still really happy with the clubs and can only suggest players consider Srixon, and other smaller brands eg Mizuno, more often. They all make a quality golf club.
It's funny if you look at the numbers they actually are more traditional lofts. Just a number/name of the club is changed. The 3 iron is a 2 iron from 30 years ago. And the AW is pretty much an old Pitching wedge. Nothing has changed (apart from pulling weight away from the face) but companies have strategically tricked us by simply changing the number on the bottom
Playing 718 ap1 Saturday most likely last round until spring. I use winter months to improve health and get stronger. Will be toss up between 718 cb and maybe z585
I got the 765/965 combo and love'm!! I bought the 745s right when they came out (still have) as my backup set. Big fan but they are hard to find to demo
Just tried these out today at my local pro shop. Head to head against the Taylormade 790s, I feel like they're much better value for money. Although I prefer the 790s sound and feel, I'm not comfortable paying an extra $400us for a set. Brilliant feel and sound from these clubs
I am testing various models now to replace a stolen set. Tested Ping 500/700/i210, TM P790, Mizuno JPX 919 forged and others. I liked the Srixon Z 585 better than any of those. Then the store manager had me try the Callaway Rogue and I was blown away because my ball speed jumped about 4 mph. I don't like the Rogue offset or top line, but the results were just better. If you can explain this, please do. I am gong back this weekend as Wilson rep is having a demo day, and I will test their models, plus re-test the Srixon and Rogue to verify the numbers I was seeing. But for now, the Rogue ball speed was best by a significant margin.
I game Z545 from a few years ago. It was them or Mizuno JPX at the time. Both delivered the same numbers for me but I trusted the fitter /coach who advised my game would improve for longer with the Srixons. He was right, handicap reduced by 8 in 2-3 years and clubs still feel great. I would recommend anyone to try Srixons clubs if you can find a fitter.
I’ve got a set of Cleveland 588TT and I love them! Again, strong lofted and starting to get a bit older. But Srixon/Cleveland make some good stuff for a lot less than the big companies! Value for money with these clubs
I starting gaming the z565 a couple of years ago after a fitting with them including shaft. First time I liked an iron set and over the years have been through most makes including xxio, prgr and the usual ping, tm, callaway though not titleist. Recently as my game improves I was thinking about whether there was something out there that would give me even better feel and consistency and been through many tests from i500, aps, apex cf19s, jpx’s, p790/760 and more. Finally my conclusion is to stick with the z565 though I did try the z585 with a different shaft that felt even better but probably not worth the upgrade. Have not tried the 785 but hope to soon to see if that is the way to go. Must say value for money wise and looks wise too not much better out there even if less know though I have been familiar with Japanese clubs for many years having spent a lot of time in south east Asia. I also was fitted for the srixon hybrids though my driver and woods are titleists (ts3). Wedges is probably where I need to focus though I have the rtx 3 s with same shaft. Being left hander there was no gap wedge in the 565. Will see your review of the 785 for your insights.
Planning on going for an iron fitting soon and would be stoked if a blend of the 585 and 785 worked for me. Underrated products. Cheers for the Muppet vids.
Just had a fitting and I was convinced I would be taking away the 785’s due to playing off 11, anyway I was performing so much better with the 585’s I ended up ordering them. I preferred the look of the 785 but you have to go with the numbers being produced #swollowyourpride
I currently play normal lofted clubs so probably wouldn’t try these but they look better than some game improvement irons. Honest review as always mark.
Tony Westwell I recently bought a split set with the Z785 and had these irons bent 2 she weak. Raises the peak height and spin numbers and they blend perfect with the more lofted clubs now
Gaming last years irons in a combo set, absolutely love them. Best performing iron for me when I had my fitting, and it helps that they have that clean, shiny loveliness look!
Definitely worth taking a look at Srixon as a blended set. I've still got the U65 2i, play the ZStar XV and demoed the 765 last year. Extremely solid feeling/sound and dispersion/launch numbers where the best of 2018. I'm holding out for their new blades and either 785 or JPX919 HM for the 4,5 spot. Keen to try the 785 driver vs my gamer G400 that's been all time
Yes Mark I would try them and I would game them if they were a benefit to my game Srixon Cleveland make some great clubs but the pro shops don't seem to carry the equipment.
I bought some Z545s off of a 2nd hand website, so I wasn’t fit for them. They are great clubs, in my estimation, for high- to mid-handicappers. The lofts may be too aggressive for some golfers. But Mark is correct, you do not see these anywhere in shops or stores, stateside too. I recommend them to anyone who peaks in my bag. The pros off the top of my head who game them are Shane Lowry and Russel Knox. Tough to compete with a DJ, Rory, Jordan, etc.
I picked up the Z565 from last year, great clubs for a reasonable price. I like their look better than the Z585. I had to go to a fitter just to use their GC2 for yardages, but it did give me an excuse to update my wedges! Thanks
Thanks for that Srixon!!! I was honestly weighing up if I should buy a 2nd new set of my Srixon irons because I love them so. Can’t wait to see those new blades. Better start saving my money for 2019 : ))) yippee!!!
Always liked the look of srixon products but like you said they're never thrown in your face in shops like other companies are. They looked pretty. And your never usually overly convinced about numbers when it comes to "game improvment" clubs. Those numbers looked a decent compromise for improving golfers who want help but also want the looks and performance.
your reviews for Srixon - irons - previously Driver has made me ponder about maybe looking into trying them out and possible purchase.....would have never thunk it.
I bought these in 7-PW and kind of wish I went 785. They're fine and work for my game but coming from the MP-59 it's been a process getting used to them. I was expecting a distance bump but haven't really seen it thus far. They feel pretty good but I'll probably eventually trade up and get the 785 at least in 8-PW. I kind of dig the 7 iron.
Solid review and solid clubs. I would definitely recommend anyone that is in the market for a net set at least try them. Also, when speaking about stronger lofts for clubs...they can easily be changed to whatever you want. I think a lot of people don't try certain clubs because their stock lofts are not what they want/need. Thoughts?
I dumped the Apex line up for the older z765's...My biggest question, why would I buy this years model vs holding on to last years ( really 3 year old) clubs and technology? Knowing what Srixion produces, I'm guessing these are basicly the same irons with newer ascetics and marketing.
Wasn’t able to try any srixon irons here in the Philippines, wound up buying AP2’s. Srixon balls sell here, just not much club marketing going on here.
Nice looking club... Have owned drivers and woods from srixon in the past and they were good too... Underrated company for me... They make nice stuff (I use a srixon z star too... Nice ball)
I have the 585’s in my combo set and I absolutely adore them. Went 5-6 in the 585’s and 7-PW in the 785’s. Srixons truly makes the best irons out on the market imo
I would like to try their other Srixon iron(785?). Can't remember what you said at the beginning but love the look of the other ones. Do like seeing more GI irons that thinner and less offset. Hate the look of that style so wont even try one like that. If we can get the lofts "truer" too that would be great. Does the laser milling on these actually effect spin? They got good numbers and the wedges were zippy (haha) but is that a placebo effect?
I game the z945 blades. Best irons I’ve ever had and I had MP25’s before. Gutted to see no pure blades this year. Can’t believe they’re not making them : ( Cmon Srixon!!!
Age catching up for me, need slightly stronger lofted clubs, don't want offsets especially the shorter irons. Small enough n definitely more forgiving than my current gamer. Softer than all my previous forged callaway & Titleist clubs. Conclusion :bought a set but need to adjust my club selection on distances. Driver & fairway woods are under rated
Hi Mark, I play Titleist like yourself combo AP2s and AP3s for myself but I did play srixon in the past very underrated irons my only concern was the amount of spin with all the irons meaning a big drop off and my irons were not that strong of a loft either I let one of my friends try them out on the course and he’s a plus 2 golfer so strikes the ball better than myself and he had exactly the same problem. I agree they don’t get the same showing as other top brands that’s if you can find them but definitely a well made club with a nice feel but be aware of the spin into greens I just couldn’t put my finger on why they didn’t stop as well as say Titleist even if struck well and a good ball flight. #verystrange🤪
Not sure if anybody else has heard this but srixon now gets their clubs forged in the same plant as mizuno. Might explain the very soft feel. I was told metals are very similar and they just cannot use the same names.
I moved from Hogans to Srixxon irons and have to say they are just as good. I have no issue with stronger lofts, most sets dont come with a 3 iron anymore, so you just play the club for the distance. These look like another no fuss set.
Great review Mark as always used to play Hogan edge forged and tried the predecessor of the 585, as a 23 handicapper worth me trying? I don't struggle with getting the ball high. Many thanks Mark!
I’m off 8. I just bought 4-PW these after hitting a set owned by a mate. Until then I had been playing Mizuno Hot Metals. I thought the Mizunos were the ants pants.

I have completely swapped over to srixon and cleveland wedges this season and love the feel, don't know why I never gamed them before
look like good club - think srixon make beautiful golf clubs especially blades - very underrated brand
Considering the loft on that 6iron is just 27 degrees, it's actually producing GREAT spin numbers at 5,400rpms
Just did a fitting today and I got set up with the z 585. I was striking they pretty well and they felt very nice.
Honest review Mark!
Played the Z745's at one time and was thoroughly impressed with the quality. Very Underrated!
I recently purchased the Z585's after hitting them compared to the Mizuno 919 forged, Titlelist AP-3's, P-790's. I hit these the best of all of them. They are certainly different from Ping i15's I had played for nearly 9-10 years. I was looking for more distance and a more forgiving iron.

I play the z565's and they are excellent clubs. Good feel,distance.... Very game able to use Mark's phrase. Love the on course testing.
Hey Mark, I own the Srixon Z585, these clubs are awesome. Thanks to your review.
Just ordered this as a 4 iron in my upcoming Z-Forged/Z 785 combo set. The long irons just go for miles with an epic sound!

Why is it so common to have 585 long irons and 785 7-pw? I'm reading that a lot

I see them a lot more lately. Not in general sport stores but in dedicated golf shops.
The Srixon web site can tell you where the nearest shop is.
Currently considering the 785s, looking forward to the review before I go test. Love the reviews Mark
Ben O'Reilly I currently game the 765s, got them fitted last year. They feel great and have changed my game. Definitely give the new ones a try!

I got the 765/965 combo and love'm!! I bought the 745s right when they came out (still have) as my backup set. Big fan but they are hard to find to demo
Could definitely go with these. Will wait to see what the other set is like and see if they blend well.
Just tried these out today at my local pro shop. Head to head against the Taylormade 790s, I feel like they're much better value for money. Although I prefer the 790s sound and feel, I'm not comfortable paying an extra $400us for a set. Brilliant feel and sound from these clubs
I am testing various models now to replace a stolen set. Tested Ping 500/700/i210, TM P790, Mizuno JPX 919 forged and others. I liked the Srixon Z 585 better than any of those. Then the store manager had me try the Callaway Rogue and I was blown away because my ball speed jumped about 4 mph. I don't like the Rogue offset or top line, but the results were just better. If you can explain this, please do. I am gong back this weekend as Wilson rep is having a demo day, and I will test their models, plus re-test the Srixon and Rogue to verify the numbers I was seeing. But for now, the Rogue ball speed was best by a significant margin.
I have been gaming the 545 for a couple years now and I love them.
I game these in the 7-PW. They look really good for a "game-improvement iron."
I game Z545 from a few years ago. It was them or Mizuno JPX at the time. Both delivered the same numbers for me but I trusted the fitter /coach who advised my game would improve for longer with the Srixons. He was right, handicap reduced by 8 in 2-3 years and clubs still feel great. I would recommend anyone to try Srixons clubs if you can find a fitter.
Just got fitted, trying them out on the weekend.
Love the fact they are trying to give a players look from the top with help added where possible.
@@banditbaker1675 thanks
I’ve got a set of Cleveland 588TT and I love them! Again, strong lofted and starting to get a bit older. But Srixon/Cleveland make some good stuff for a lot less than the big companies! Value for money with these clubs
I starting gaming the z565 a couple of years ago after a fitting with them including shaft. First time I liked an iron set and over the years have been through most makes including xxio, prgr and the usual ping, tm, callaway though not titleist. Recently as my game improves I was thinking about whether there was something out there that would give me even better feel and consistency and been through many tests from i500, aps, apex cf19s, jpx’s, p790/760 and more. Finally my conclusion is to stick with the z565 though I did try the z585 with a different shaft that felt even better but probably not worth the upgrade. Have not tried the 785 but hope to soon to see if that is the way to go. Must say value for money wise and looks wise too not much better out there even if less know though I have been familiar with Japanese clubs for many years having spent a lot of time in south east Asia. I also was fitted for the srixon hybrids though my driver and woods are titleists (ts3). Wedges is probably where I need to focus though I have the rtx 3 s with same shaft. Being left hander there was no gap wedge in the 565. Will see your review of the 785 for your insights.
Planning on going for an iron fitting soon and would be stoked if a blend of the 585 and 785 worked for me. Underrated products. Cheers for the Muppet vids.
Love your content Mark. Bought a set of these after seeing this review... love them.
Just had a fitting and I was convinced I would be taking away the 785’s due to playing off 11, anyway I was performing so much better with the 585’s I ended up ordering them. I preferred the look of the 785 but you have to go with the numbers being produced #swollowyourpride
I currently play normal lofted clubs so probably wouldn’t try these but they look better than some game improvement irons. Honest review as always mark.
Tony Westwell I recently bought a split set with the Z785 and had these irons bent 2 she weak. Raises the peak height and spin numbers and they blend perfect with the more lofted clubs now
Gaming last years irons in a combo set, absolutely love them. Best performing iron for me when I had my fitting, and it helps that they have that clean, shiny loveliness look!
G'day Mark.Can't wait you to see your review on Srixon Z785 irons mate.
Definitely worth taking a look at Srixon as a blended set. I've still got the U65 2i, play the ZStar XV and demoed the 765 last year. Extremely solid feeling/sound and dispersion/launch numbers where the best of 2018. I'm holding out for their new blades and either 785 or JPX919 HM for the 4,5 spot. Keen to try the 785 driver vs my gamer G400 that's been all time
Yes Mark I would try them and I would game them if they were a benefit to my game Srixon Cleveland make some great clubs but the pro shops don't seem to carry the equipment.
I bought some Z545s off of a 2nd hand website, so I wasn’t fit for them. They are great clubs, in my estimation, for high- to mid-handicappers. The lofts may be too aggressive for some golfers. But Mark is correct, you do not see these anywhere in shops or stores, stateside too. I recommend them to anyone who peaks in my bag. The pros off the top of my head who game them are Shane Lowry and Russel Knox. Tough to compete with a DJ, Rory, Jordan, etc.
I picked up the Z565 from last year, great clubs for a reasonable price. I like their look better than the Z585. I had to go to a fitter just to use their GC2 for yardages, but it did give me an excuse to update my wedges!
Thanks
have the previous z585's and if hit correctly it's like a hot knife through butter, so smooth.
Thanks for that Srixon!!! I was honestly weighing up if I should buy a 2nd new set of my Srixon irons because I love them so. Can’t wait to see those new blades. Better start saving my money for 2019 : ))) yippee!!!
Always liked the look of srixon products but like you said they're never thrown in your face in shops like other companies are. They looked pretty. And your never usually overly convinced about numbers when it comes to "game improvment" clubs. Those numbers looked a decent compromise for improving golfers who want help but also want the looks and performance.
your reviews for Srixon - irons - previously Driver has made me ponder about maybe looking into trying them out and possible purchase.....would have never thunk it.
I play 565 irons and they are by far the best irons I've ever used
Did I hear you say on a good strike you want to hit the ground before the ball?
Yep he said that....lol.
I bought these in 7-PW and kind of wish I went 785. They're fine and work for my game but coming from the MP-59 it's been a process getting used to them. I was expecting a distance bump but haven't really seen it thus far. They feel pretty good but I'll probably eventually trade up and get the 785 at least in 8-PW. I kind of dig the 7 iron.
I just bought the Z785's beautiful iron c taper shafts, great value too.
I game the 765's and love them
Solid review and solid clubs. I would definitely recommend anyone that is in the market for a net set at least try them. Also, when speaking about stronger lofts for clubs...they can easily be changed to whatever you want. I think a lot of people don't try certain clubs because their stock lofts are not what they want/need. Thoughts?
Try and tell me the srixon 945’s or the 965’s aren’t some of the sexiest irons out there. And they are butter
I dumped the Apex line up for the older z765's...My biggest question, why would I buy this years model vs holding on to last years ( really 3 year old) clubs and technology? Knowing what Srixion produces, I'm guessing these are basicly the same irons with newer ascetics and marketing.
I would definitely try them both vs comparable Miz and Titleist
Great review Mark. I'm ready for new irons and I'm going to give the 585/U85 combo set a long look.
Wasn’t able to try any srixon irons here in the Philippines, wound up buying AP2’s. Srixon balls sell here, just not much club marketing going on here.
seriously want to give these a try.
How forgiving are these compared to the bigger US brands ? Tks
I've got the 565's and they are the dogs. Won't be changing them any time soon 👍
I play the new 785 and they're amazing. Do yourself a solid and hit these. Price is good too.
I’d try them, I’m gaming the MCGB’s and playing well. Always looking for that buttery feel. Don’t know anywhere I can try them that’s convenient.
looking forverd to see you test the 785
Game the z f65 woods which are fantastic. Would consider scrixons in my next iron purchase
Nice looking club... Have owned drivers and woods from srixon in the past and they were good too... Underrated company for me... They make nice stuff (I use a srixon z star too... Nice ball)
I have the 585’s in my combo set and I absolutely adore them. Went 5-6 in the 585’s and 7-PW in the 785’s. Srixons truly makes the best irons out on the market imo
Mike, I'm thinking of doing exactly this. Did you bend the 7/6/5 to get proper spacing?
I would like to try their other Srixon iron(785?). Can't remember what you said at the beginning but love the look of the other ones. Do like seeing more GI irons that thinner and less offset. Hate the look of that style so wont even try one like that. If we can get the lofts "truer" too that would be great.
Does the laser milling on these actually effect spin? They got good numbers and the wedges were zippy (haha) but is that a placebo effect?
I game the z945 blades. Best irons I’ve ever had and I had MP25’s before. Gutted to see no pure blades this year. Can’t believe they’re not making them : ( Cmon Srixon!!!
New blade offering being released next year 👀
I've been anxiously waiting for you to try these and the 785s. The 785s are on my radar' they feel so good!
I would game them. Wish the lofts were not as strong. Just would have to adjust yardages. Around here only clubfitters have them.
I game the 765 and love them !!!
585 a
Little chunky for me and the lofts a little stronger
Age catching up for me, need slightly stronger lofted clubs, don't want offsets especially the shorter irons. Small enough n definitely more forgiving than my current gamer. Softer than all my previous forged callaway & Titleist clubs. Conclusion :bought a set but need to adjust my club selection on distances. Driver & fairway woods are under rated
Hi Mark, I play Titleist like yourself combo AP2s and AP3s for myself but I did play srixon in the past very underrated irons my only concern was the amount of spin with all the irons meaning a big drop off and my irons were not that strong of a loft either I let one of my friends try them out on the course and he’s a plus 2 golfer so strikes the ball better than myself and he had exactly the same problem. I agree they don’t get the same showing as other top brands that’s if you can find them but definitely a well made club with a nice feel but be aware of the spin into greens I just couldn’t put my finger on why they didn’t stop as well as say Titleist even if struck well and a good ball flight. #verystrange🤪
Not sure if anybody else has heard this but srixon now gets their clubs forged in the same plant as mizuno. Might explain the very soft feel. I was told metals are very similar and they just cannot use the same names.
Interesting. But f.ex 919 forged doesnt feel even close to the z585:s. Was really surprised about the Srixon feeling so much better.
I moved from Hogans to Srixxon irons and have to say they are just as good. I have no issue with stronger lofts, most sets dont come with a 3 iron anymore, so you just play the club for the distance. These look like another no fuss set.
Great review Mark as always used to play Hogan edge forged and tried the predecessor of the 585, as a 23 handicapper worth me trying? I don't struggle with getting the ball high. Many thanks Mark!
