Any Long Term Srixon 785 Irons Reviews??

Good choice, though I would consider either a 585 or U85 for the 3i if you aren't already. Even with my 4i bent weak they visually looked very low lofted. I hit the 4i plenty high but given the 3i is mainly a tee club for me, I'd have been in U85 with extra stiff graphite.

I was considering getting the U85 in the 18 deg loft with the same shaft (I can't hit a driving iron with graphite for some reason).

I would use it off the tee only but honestly a traditional hybrid will offer more versitiliy.

The U85 is the best utility I hit but I can't justify a spot in the bag.

it's not a flyer if it's from the fairway :). Unless your fairways are inch high rough and you strike grass before the ball. That is scary when that happens. I Played z-forged and they were extremely consistent. I am now on to HMBs but at some point might pick up a backup set of the 785s and hope i fly everything long :)

Got a set coming, too... not with shafts I can use, so I will be reshafting them, but I am really looking forward to putting them against my J15 CB. I was a Z745 lover and big Srixon fan. Excited to bag these soon!

Same here!

Gonna be hard to take the bag from the J15 CBs for as long as they’ve lasted.

I tried the Z-Forged, but the feel of the J15’s was still better.

I think I'm about to order a set of 785s. Went and hit them earlier at a shop and wow!

Well...this will be my choice coming up, but the other way around. Tested a bunch this past season with z745 coming out on top. Grabbed some 785 for a good price as well. But I just came across a great deal on j15cb in amazing condition. Srixon won out last season after testing i210, 919 HMP and Forged, 790 and AP3...but I never could find a nice set of J15cb for a good price. Will be fun to see what wins out now -- 745 combo, 785 combo or the J15cb...hoping to just leave it between those three sets. We shall see.

Those will be great head to heads with three of the best CBs in my mind.

I’m actually considering a possibly J15CB/Z785 combo set-never know?!?

They could honestly blend really well based on the shape and topline.

Be sure to keep us posted!

Played 9 with them today. Excellent first impression.

They are much straighter than my MP53s. They don't spin as much as most reviews stated. It was obvious. Played for my normal draw / hook and the ball stayed out there. Didn't effect what happened on the ground because it was wet.

They were super forgiving and sounded great.

I have my 2020 Iron fitting booked for Saturday but these might be tough to beat based on first impressions.

Anyone having issues with this set in the wind? I'm thinking it's the shaft for me - Modus 120X in that it's a bit too soft mid section for the way my swing works. I've already got the lofts jacked 2* strong on the 785's so I may have to try a different shaft.

I'd think these heads would be good in the wind as for most people they seem to be lower spin and launch. Modus 120X is no slouch but it is likely on the softer side of X flex iron shafts.

That would certainly do it. Or Modus 120TX? Those are pretty popular. But yeah C Taper may seal the deal especially if you can really move it.

I have the 4i and it's been great for me. My natural shape is a fade these days so no issues getting a nice high ball flight with plenty of stopping power.

According to the GCHawk I'm launching it at about 15* average with 3800 rpm spin. High-low forgiveness on the face is quite good, heel toe is what you'd expect for a 4i.

For those who have struggled with spin, how have you found it once they'd been changed to weaker lofts?

Have you had them on a launch monitor post change, I'm interested whether they really are low spin once the lofts are like for like with other players cavities
