SRIXON 765 Initial thoughts and pics!

[ste1010]

Does anyone know if these irons can be ordered with Project X LZ 5.0 at no upcharge? The LZ is not included in the custom options on the Srixon website, and neither is the DG Pro.

If you look at the custom options more shafts available,from Feb, inc the LZ

Srixon seems to be the leader in this department. They had every single shaft from their offering list at the PGA SS in multiple flexes. Really awesome!

no more modus 125?

Some pics from my round today! My buddy won the lottery to play Torrey the day after

 

Greens were like concrete and lightning fast!

Did u reach 18 in two? Same pins? Try that eagle putt from the back fringe? Nice srixons btw.

Just spoken to my fitter again, and its the NS PRO 950GH DST that he is recommending. I can find no reference to this shaft on the Nippon site. does anyone have any knowledge of this shaft.

 

What is the difference between this and the 950GH

 

Thanks in advance

[smokedturkey]

when you look on the srixon website in the custom catalogue at the bottom of their site you can bring up specs on all shafts.

 

950 GH lists a Mid flight

950 GH DST lists a Mid-High flight

 

Maybe a little softer shaft or different kick point.

 

That drove me crazy when I was deciding what shaft to get in mine.

 

To my best comparison, the 950 GH shafts will be comparable to XP 95's.

[ste1010]

Thanks for the reply,

The info I found on the Srixon site and also what the fitter sent me says the opposite

 

950gh DST is mid low launch

950gh is mid launch

I thought the DST Nippons were more back-weighted than the regular. Hasn't that been an SRI "technology" for a while?

I finally got my set out to the range, 765 in 3 and 4 iron. I was really impressed with how easy the 3 iron was to hit with DG X100, very easy to launch. What impressed me the most was the feel, I'm coming from TMB in 3 and 4 irons and they felt very "clicky" compared to the 765s. Pretty impressed with the forged feel of these compared to the TMB, even miss hits didn't feel harsh at all.

PREACH. They feel SO much better than the TMBs.

Very specific question. .....anyone using Z765 irons ,come out of Mizuno mp-59's? Looking for turf interaction in particular very tight lies as I'm a shade inconsistent with 59's .....mostly swing but....

Thats right the NS Pro 980 DST for Srixon have a balance point slightly closer to the butt end of the shaft!

i hit the tmb yesterday compared to the 765 and it wasnt even close, srixon won in all categories

Guys - I wanted my combo set to work, I really did. I am finding the long irons ballooning, especially in the wind. And an overall distance loss of about a club across the board. Thinking I am going back to my Cally Apexs and then will get fit for PXGs next year.

Are you playing the same shafts in your Apex?

[J_Birdie]

The 765 are ballooning? Or the 565? What shaft?

 

Cause I play Apexes right now and I can't even fathom hitting an iron higher than the Apex.

Apex shafts were TT Dynalite Gold XP, Srixon shafts are DG TI AMT.

The 565s with the TT DG TI AMT, and less often in the 765s but it has happened.

I might be wrong, but I thought the AMT's in a 3,4,and 5 iron will spin more and launch higher.

Fair point, didn't think the difference would be as dramatic though. Just my $.02. Maybe will get them re-shafted and see.

I had a set of MP59 about 3 years ago, and have just got a set of z765 - I therefore haven't hit them side by side, but have owned both.

 

From what I've found, the z765 have a little more bounce on the sole and therefore don't dig as much. The Srixons are much more forgiving, and I'd say that they are at least one club longer, if not a little more.

 

I did really like the MP59s, but felt that they didn't give enough help.........the Srixons give you that good looking club, but with a little help too!

Great info! This is the push for me to place my order! Now......what shaft? I'll hit a bunch at superstore tomorrow. ...

Anyone gaming a Z765 3-iron? Review please

Coming from the TMB 3 iron, I'd say feel wise, without question is much improved with the 765. The forging on the 765 alone is worth the switch. I would also say, the 765 3 iron is just as forgiving and launching as the TMB. Mishits aren't punishing or harsh feeling, seeing as how you play the 945's I'm sure this isn't new news to you. I would say its worth a look.

Thanks. Yeah I'm looking to add a 3-iron to swap with current 2 UDI, depending on the course. I think the VT sole would help with contact off the turf too, narrow sole on the UDI. UDI is not too thrilling in the feel department but very reliable off the tee.

 

Looking at the U65 as well but it's a bit chunky for my eye...always done better with traditional long irons with just a bit of help.

Yeah I agree, I have a U65 18* on my radar once I get distance gaping figured out. I like to have the option to swap them in and out depending on the course. I don't think you could go wrong with either, 765 would be my preference for 85% of the rounds I play.

Thats right the NS Pro 980 DST for Srixon have a balance point slightly closer to the butt end of the shaft!

What is the advantage of balance point closer to the butt? Does it give more kick or less? Would it work for slow swing speed players?
