2018 Srixon Irons

[maamold]

Hot dang sign me up. I had the 745s and 765s and regret selling them both. Gimme some 785/985 combo action!

 

Which did you like better the 745 or 765 ?

[Armour248]

IMO that 585 looks terrible. That black border is obnoxious and looks cheap. The 785 isn't bad but certainly isn't great either.

[tomastomatohead]

I love the 545s and I trust new ones will be nice!

[williaza]

anyone have a guess when price will be cut? and to how much?

[1jcwallace]

Based on this, I don't know if my 545's are going anywhere either. I still want to try the 765's though....

Nice find. Conforming list has them up to 6 iron. Interesting.

[Gstew1930]

Not a fan of the looks of the 585 & 785. That utility iron looks sick though

[jrubell]

LOVE my U65 3 and 4. Would be awesome if they come out with a 5! Hope it comes soon!

[danielryanw]

They had two years and this is what they came up with?

585 looks like it’s been bedazzled.

I hate to say it and I'll reserve full judgement until they are released...I'm quite disappointed too. And I'm a huge srixon fanboy. The lack of the blade 9 series is just an extra slap in the face

[linkerpan]

 

 

looks alot like H818... nothing bad about that!

 

Is v-sole gone? Can't see it well from the picture.

 

I changed my 765s because never got along with the V sole. But I did love the feeling and the distance I got, so I may be in line for a set here

[nattybohknows]

The 585's look like the costco knock off of the 565's. The black looks ugly as sin and like it doesnt fit.

 

On the plus side my 545s still look pretty so I am set for at least another year

[autronicdsm]

They look good to me, and so does U85. I don't think B&W photos do it justice.

 

I want to see new drivers...

[autronicdsm]

I guess I should have looked on the list first...

I may have missed it. But has anyone said these are most likely the clubs they submit to the USGA to be added to the confirming lisr and not the finished retail version.

 

Often companies know the USGA photos make it online so they don't send the fully finished versions from a cosmetic standpoint.

 

As least that's what Ive been led to believe by some at the OEM's.

[Gary Gutful]

Really like the look of the 785. Hope the driving iron has a slimmer profile than the U45 and U65. Something closer to the P790 UDI or the X-Forged UT.

With how bad the 585 looked and how poorly placed all of model's stampings were from a design standpoint I was thinking that was probably the case. Thanks for confirming. If you think about the process from the OEMs side it would be silly to think that the head the usga has to test would look anything like the final retail version cosmetically.

[eRock_Reno]

I really like the new 7 series as far as looks go. Would love to see a new 9 series.

Wishful thinking. I suspect it will be pretty similar to what we currently see.

The head will be nearly identical if not identical for sure. I'd be willing to bet the "srixon" and the 585 785 are in different orientations and wouldn't be surprised if they spruced up some other cosmetic stuff. But in my limited design experience I'm pretty sure there is no chance the stamps stay the way they are.

[hurricanes7]

we need more pics, and i need to hit them before i make an honest opinion

Interesting...

 

I can’t recall a time where the USGA pic has been substantially different to what gets released. Maybe you're right and I haven’t been paying proper attention.

[Russ757]

even if those were the final pics, its not that difficult to change cosmetic changes. Agree with the poster above, I doubt those are the final locations and possibly even stamps.

 

Never understood why companies feel the needs to out the specific model on a club ie 765, cg7, ap2. Taylormade jabs aside, there arent that many models released yearly. Just throw srixon, cleveland, ping whatever and call it a day

[hurricanes7]

when do they come out?

[jonn443]

"Hit them" before I make an honest opinion.

 

What a concept.

 

 

(Something a lot of people on here should consider before condemning a golf club.)

Judging by the pics in the utility thread it appears I would have lost that bet! I stand corrected and you are right. At least I made it clear that my design experience was limited :)

No that is entirely incorrect. The whole idea behind the Conforming List with identification marks and photos is to allow officials to identify conforming heads in the field. What gets depicted in the List's photos is supposed to be exactly what goes into players' hands. If there are prototypes, etc., they are supposed to be listed separately, but just as publicly.

That makes more sense.

Meh.

 

I would never write off a club until I've tested it, but I also don't begrudge someone sharing their honest thoughts based on an early photo. Particularly in a pre-release golf forum. The forum would be pretty barren and uninteresting otherwise.
