SRIXON 765 Initial thoughts and pics!

So 125 is like dg and 130 is like kbs tour v ?

 

Yes, from everything I've read -- a lot of info from the Nippon guru markheardjr. I can't personally comment as I have the modus 120 and have yet to hit either of the others. But that's what I have gathered. It seems like the 125s tend the fit a larger crowd (probably bc of the similarities with DG). It's been stated that they are also swing dependent, where two people could both hit the 120/125/130 and each see different results...with the 125s matching up the closest.

I'm getting a combo set of 565 in 5/6/7 and 765 in 8/9/P. I was thinking of weakening the 565 1* and leaving the 765 alone OR weakening the 565 by 2* and 765 by 1*.

 

Anyone tried this yet?

[KingKong]

Just got my set in. They look amazing. Raining like crazy today, but it's ok because we need it.

 

I compared the 5 (565) and 6 (765) and to me, they look identical from address. Shocked me how similar they looked.

[hurricanes7]

im wondering if they look the same how much more forgiving the 565 are?

thats a great video for an 11 and a 10 handicap and they can hit all 3 clubs. that is amazing, great numbers

[boycer]

I was thinking 5-7 565 and 8-pw 765, now debating all 765 or just 5 iron in 565.

[hurricanes7]

if the 765 is just as forgiving as the 565, they why get the 565? i have no idea

I hate dg and I just got fitted for modus 125. Lol. I wish I hadn't seen this post.

Just picked up a set of 765's with project x lz's 5-pw with a 565 4 iron. Excited to put them up against my t-mb's with the same shafts. I know the feel will be better, interested to see the performance differences.

 

did u start the comparison, very interested in what you have to say because i have tmb in steelfiber 110stiff

 

Yes, I had a couple range sessions comparing them and just one round with the 765's. I had no issues with the tmb's and really liked them but wasn't crazy about the feel having played forged cb's for a while now. What stood out to me with the 765's was the turf interaction and the feel. My distances were nearly identical with each with the 765's maybe a touch longer. Very similar in forgiveness as well. I prefer the 765's and will be keeping them in the bag. I even picked up the gap wedge to go with the set but have yet to play with it.

[hurricanes7]

thanks for the info, i need to get a srixon head to make a direct comparison from 565 to 765 to tmb with modus shafts. whats the deal with the turf interaction with the 765? so forgiveness and distance are similiar but the 765 feel way better?

[jimb]

I am really thinking I may get a set of the Z 765 irons for next season. The lofts are stronger than my 2013 X-Forged, which I think I might like. I was debating getting Apex CF16 irons (love Callaway stuff), but those Z 765 irons just look so great. The lofts on the Z's are almost as strong as the Apex, but the Z's have less offset it seems and I like that. Those X-Forged are still great irons. More pondering to do before I make the move. I may get the 5-PW and stick a 4 hybrid in there.

Just a quick size comparison of the z945 and z765 9 iron heads..sorry I don't have the z565 heads..

[cadman88]

Since several here are asking about the z765's here's a bunch of video's to watch on them.. I know the main guys (Shiels and Crossfield) haven't done them yet, but some of these are actually helpful because they are not being hit by Pro's.. gives a good idea on how well they will play..

I hope they work for you. I got the 125s (I personally hate the DG as well) and just did NOT get along with them. Ended up selling the set and going back to my 120s.

Honestly I wouldn't even consider the 565 unless you were putting it in a 3/4i, even then I'd probably still go 765. If you look back through (this thread and the 745 thread), a majority of the guys who combo'd the set make the remark "I could've went 745/65 through the entire set" also adding that there wasn't anything wrong with the 545/65 per se.

Just a quick note: the 65 series is a slightly longer blade than the 45 series

Results are in and I hated it too. Funny thing is on LM, 125 gives me best carry and LA. But on field, I was losing 15yds off modus120. Back to drawing board.

 

[Tarheelnation3]

I hear you on the 125. I was actually really discouraged after going through it. Took me a month to get back on track (seriously). Do yourself a favor, order another set with the Modus 120 and you can thank me later ;)

[tyro]

So, from what I'm hearing here I should just go with 765's all the way through with maybe a 4-iron in the 565?

I don't mind my 565s at all. A little extra forgiveness in the 4-6 range is never a bad thing IMO. However, if I were to be handed an entire set of 765s I would do just fine with them. However, I'm fairly certain I would at least want my 4 to still be the 565. I'm past the days of trying to make the game harder than it needs to be. However, the 765s are so sexy!

[Deuce78]

I chose the 565 in my 4 iron, only to get the max I can out of that slot, I hit all the 6 irons for a few days on and off with different shafts. Are the 565 more forgiving? Yes. Are you going to get punished for a bad stoke? Yes. But for me on my good strokes I want to get the most out of the 4 iron and it goes a little further than 765. I got the 965 on my 8-p because I want precision out of those clubs, I want to be close and score with my good strikes there....

[tyro]

Well, I think even if they give me another 5% forgiveness, the 565 might be worth it for me in the longer irons. I'll take all I can get, but want the more pure forged feel in the 8-P at least.

I am really thinking I may get a set of the Z 765 irons for next season. The lofts are stronger than my 2013 X-Forged, which I think I might like.

I've had both the CF16 (now) and the 765 (with Modus 120's that didn't work for me) and they are quite different clubs. The 765 are softer and much more forged feeling, whereas the CF have the cup face, which I can feel. It's not a bad feel, just not as solid. While the 765 have stronger lofts too, the CF16's are much longer for me. If I keep the CF16's I'll need to weaken the lofts by a degree or two. If I get the 765, I'll weaken the lofts by a degree. I plan on going the 5-P with 3 & 4-hybrids too. It just works!

You tried modus125 for a brief moment and it took you ONE MONTH to get back to your original swing? OMG I have a big game this Saturday. Damn, I'm gonna practice 24/7.. oh yeah, I just sold my z765 modus120 to a member here. LOL.

hate dynamic gold feel, modus is way better, how do u like the 120, did u get it in the stiff

it looks like the 565 and the 765 play very simliar, have to demo side by side to see where to cut off the combo set

[cadman88]

If you are concerned about it maybe get the 4 iron in the z565, and the rest in the z765. A little help on the 4 iron probably is a good thing, depends how often in a round you plan or typically hit a 4 iron. And if down the road you find yourself wanting the z765 4 iron you can always order the single of it.

[jeffc]

I am totally in love with the 565's and never I've never even seen a set in person yet.

I like the feel of the 2013 X-Forged. I have not hit the CF16, however, from what I have read they are very long, no doubt the length is enhanced by the cup faces. From the fairway the CF16 would adequately spin, although somewhat less than what I have now, but out of the light rough I can imagine some rockets taking off without much spin. Every swing profile of course provides slightly different launches and spin. For me, the Modus 120's launch slightly higher than the TTDG S300 and feel not as firm. I will probably get something different in the Z 765s than the two stock offerings. Something with a little more launch angle and I will leave the lofts alone.
