srixon 745's WOW!!!!!!

[mjwidell]

Has anyone hit the 65s and liked the 45s better? As someone that hits it a bit more heelside of center, it just doesn't seem like I'd get the slight benefit of the 65s.

Nice to see a +1 playing the L4VX.........I had mine out the other day, and as always, not sure why I play anything else.

 

I sold my original one to ROBOPTI back in the day. Struggled with driver this year and waited forever but finally picked one up from the Bay. I have a TI M2 being built but never again will I sell my L4VX. Just too easy to hit.

Yeah it's still an amazing stick. He has a tour issues one as well that was a special gift from Cobra. They were ahead of their time.

[Scratch2Plus]

Will be posting my 745-aero i95 set on BST Monday :)

 

Loved them, just time for a change...

[3woodvt]

I have to admit I thought this string was a bit overrated with all the love for the 745's last year. I did think they were gorgeous irons but the thread was constantly going on and on about these clubs to the point of insanity. Now that I'm a proud owner of Srixon (only a week)....I get it now. Great looking sticks, feeling sticks, and performing sticks....consider me a believer. Still not going back and rereading the 65 pages I'm behind.

[Juice1121]

Hoping someone would be able to answer this questions for me. I have a set of 545's with steelfiber shafts. I love them, but in the winter and in the wind they launch a bit high for my liking. Also, in the dead of summer, they are a bit too low spinning to hold greens. I found a set of 745's online for a ridiculous price with DG s300's in them. I am looking for a shaft that i could pair with them to lower the ball flight and increase the spin on them. Any body have any suggestions?

 

 

Edit: For example, my 7 iron in the 545's spin around 5400 on average. I would like to get that up to around 6000

[Russ757]

just pull the fibers from the 545s and throw them in the 745s (assuming you like them). The 545s are fairly high launching heads (which play more of a role than shafts)

 

the 7's are higher spin than the 5's and the 9s higher than the 7 series

 

im a HUGE fan of this shaft and had great luck in the 7/945s and 7/965s (albeit ssxq1)

I kind of like that idea. Do you think going with the i125's would lower the ball flight a bit more than the 110's?

[Russ757]

so the 125s play a bit different than the 110s in that they 'feel' firmer. They should take some of the flight down.

 

Damn it wheres stuart or nessism... they are the gurus on this.

 

I use 125s in my wedges as the 110s in them, were just a disaster.

[pjc]

Still have mine in the bag too... sold my back up set of J38 DPC today as I do not see anything beating the 745s out.

 

On a side note, those RTX-3 look insanely badass..... have to add those to the list....

 

Go for the RTX-3's, they are that good. I just got the standard V-MG grind and stock Dynamic Gold wedge shaft. Hard pan fairway shots are so much better with this new sole tech they've got going. I can finally hit down on a full wedge shot and not worry about digging up earth, shank, or skull. Just swing straight through no problem. Around the greens are just as good. Best all around wedge I have ever played, it's put some confidence back in my short game for sure!

[bryanwmilburn]

I bought a set of 765's to upgrade from the 745's but honestly, I like the feel and look of the 745's better. The 765's seem to be more rounded and I prefer the finish of the 745's. Keep your 745's if you can!!!

how much higher launching are the 565 over the 765. i have tmb and trying to compare

I bought a backup set of J40 wedges, I actually like them a lot but the 56 has too much bounce and I would like to grab something like a 56 or 58 with lower bounce to try out. Ground is firm for the most part where I am, what would you recommend? For the most part, I am a picker....

 

Also, on a side note.... wife bought me a set of 716 AP2 with the LZ 5.5... should be here in a week or two, but so far nothing has been able to dethrone the 745s but it will be a fun test! Just love my 745s so much.

Agree with you on this. I'm not a big fan of the rounded toe look and much prefer the squarer, boxy appearance of the 45's which I still have in the bag.

 

That said, I am tempted to try the 565's for a little more forgiveness. Decisions, decisions...

[J13]

I think Srixon made a big mistake with the 65's. They now look like the Bstone's with the pregnant toe section. I have ZERO desire now to switch in fact if Srixon sticks with the new look I'll be off the Srixon bandwagon when it comes time to get new irons. They really messed up a good thing. :(

I tried the Z565 and Z765 with multiple shafts. I got similar numbers with the Modus 105 and 120's.

 

The Z565 launched about a degree lower and spun about 500 rpms less. The difference was about 5-7 yds more carry with the Z565.

Couldn't agree more. Idk why I didn't notice it when I got fit but I played for the first time with my new 765s the other day and was just tuned off by it. It's probably all personal preference but I just like straighter lines and these are certainly rounded. They should have stuck with the shape of the 745s but just added the new sole and placement of the weighting.

This. Let's be clear, the 65 series is still outstanding but not so sure they're an aesthetic upgrade.

THe 965's are outstanding but the 5 & 7 series is just ok now. Shame, real shame.

Yeah I think I just went into my fitting expecting to be upgraded into the 65's bc I'd be properly fit instead of playing my OTR 745s but I honestly just wish I had bought the shafts I was fit for to reshaft the 745s instead of ordering new clubs. Oh well you live and learn I guess.

performance is still outstanding, regardless of opinion of how they look. i personally love the way they look

I'm a lefty so my only option is 5/765 and I think the whole line looks fine....didn't care for the feel of the 565 though and that was with different shafts....if I get a set , it will be a U65/Z765 combo

Of course when I write all this "I miss my 745" comments I go out and have the best ball striking day of my life. Hit a 5 iron to 3, 4, 6, and 12 feet and hit a 6 iron from 190 to a frickin foot. I still do prefer the looks of the 745 but man do these 765 perform!

Hahaha..... no. My putting is horrendous right now. Made 3 of 5. Missed the 6 footer and the 12 footer. Could have been a special last round of the year that's for darn sure!!!

[Juice1121]

Picked up a set of the 765's a week ago. Then found the 745's on christmas special for 198 dollars. I think I may just try to sell off the 765's at cost and keep the 745s. That deal was just too good to pass up.

 

Has anybody had any success with bending them a bit stronger to match the lofts of the 545's? I would like to be able to blend them and/or not have to get new wedges to fit the gaps.

[trumb1mj1]

Can anyone compare the 765/745s to the MP57s or MP53s?
