Players Distance Driver

The Srixon Z545 is the friendlier half of Srixon's 2015 driver lineup, sitting next to the lower-spinning Z745. Where the 745 asked you to bring your own launch, the 545 builds it in. This is a 460cc head aimed at players who want a clean, traditional look at address but still need help getting the ball in the air and holding a line.

Call it a players distance driver and you get the idea. It's not a game-improvement club with a massive footprint and a draw bias baked in, and it's not a tour-only head that punishes a miss. The 545 lands in the middle. Mid-to-low handicappers who fight a low, spinny ball flight are the target, and the high-launch setup does most of the work.

By 2015 standards this was a quietly good driver that never got the marketing push of the bigger brands. If you find one used, you're getting an adjustable 460cc head with genuine forgiveness for a fraction of what it cost new.

• You hit the ball too low and lose carry, and you want a driver that adds height without a swing change.
• You're a mid handicapper who wants forgiveness but hates the oversized, cartoonish look of pure game-improvement drivers.
• You want an adjustable 460cc head on a budget, since the Z545 is easy to find used at a low price.
• You prefer a clean, traditional shape at address over alignment aids and loud graphics.
• You lean toward a fade or straight ball and want a neutral head rather than one that fights your natural shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Srixon Z545 and Z745 driver?

The Z545 is the higher-launching, more forgiving of the two. The Z745 spins less and has a movable weight for players who already generate plenty of launch and want to control spin. If you hit the ball low, go 545. If your flight is already high and you want a flatter, more workable trajectory, the 745 is the better fit.

Is the Z545 driver adjustable?

Yes. It uses Srixon's Quick Tune hosel, so you can change loft and lie to tune your launch and shot shape. It's a sleeve-based system rather than a sliding weight track, so once you dial in a setting it stays put.

Is the Srixon Z545 good for higher handicappers?

It works for many mid-to-higher handicappers, especially anyone who struggles to get the ball up. At 460cc with a high-launch design, it's forgiving enough to help. That said, it's a players distance driver, not a max game-improvement model, so a golfer who wants the most forgiveness and a built-in draw bias might want something bigger and more anti-slice.

Is the Z545 worth buying used in 2026?

For the price, yes. Driver technology has moved on since 2015, so you won't match the ball speed of the newest heads. But a used 545 gives you an adjustable 460cc driver with real forgiveness and a clean look for very little money, which makes it a smart pickup for a budget bag or a backup.

What loft should I get in the Srixon Z545?

Because it already launches high, most players do fine with a standard loft rather than reaching for the highest option. If your swing speed is on the slower side or you still fight a low flight, a bit more loft helps carry. Faster swingers who spin the ball can dial loft down through the hosel to keep the flight from ballooning.

Is the Srixon Z545 driver good for high handicappers?

Playable, with a caveat. The Srixon Z545 is a players distance design. Its category typically suits 5 to 15 handicaps. A 20-plus handicap will get more help from a game improvement model.
