Srixon Z 585 Hybrid

Hybrid Options & Stock Shafts

Players Distance Hybrid

The Z 585 is Srixon's answer for the golfer who wants forgiveness and ball speed without stepping into a chunky game-improvement iron. It sits in the players distance category, which means it splits the difference between the compact Z 785 blade-adjacent iron and something you'd hand a 20-handicapper. If your handicap lives somewhere in the mid-single digits to high teens, this is the Z-series iron Srixon built with you in mind.

What makes it tick is the SUP10 face. Srixon uses a high-strength steel insert that wraps around the leading edge, so the face flexes more at impact and pushes ball speed up, especially on strikes low on the face. That face sits on a forged 1020 carbon steel body, which is where the soft feel comes from. You get the distance help of a fast face and the buttery feedback of a forged iron in the same head, which is not a combination every brand pulls off.

Strong lofts do part of the work here too. The 7-iron comes in around 30.5 degrees, so this iron flies a touch longer than a traditional set. It won't turn a 150-yard 7-iron into a 175-yard bomb, and Srixon didn't try to make it. This is a distance iron with manners.

• Mid to high single-digit and low-teens handicappers who want a little distance and forgiveness without moving into a bulky game-improvement head.
• Players coming out of a true blade or muscleback who love forged feel but want a bigger margin on off-center hits.
• Anyone who fights digging or heavy turf contact and would benefit from the Tour V.T. Sole gliding through the grass.
• Golfers who prioritize soft feel and feedback at impact and don't want the clicky sensation some cast distance irons give off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Srixon Z 585 a forged iron?

Yes. The body is forged from 1020 carbon steel, which is what gives it the soft feel at impact. The face is a separate SUP10 high-strength steel insert that wraps under the leading edge to boost ball speed. So it's a forged body with a faster face welded in, not a one-piece muscleback.

What is the difference between the Srixon Z 585 and the Z 785?

The Z 585 is the more forgiving, distance-oriented iron of the two. It has a slightly larger head, a bit more offset, and the SUP10 speed face for extra ball speed. The Z 785 is a compact one-piece forged players iron aimed at better ball strikers who want more workability and a smaller profile. Better players often mix them, running Z 585 in the long irons and Z 785 in the scoring clubs.

What are the lofts on the Z 585 irons?

They're on the stronger side of traditional. The 7-iron sits around 30.5 degrees and the pitching wedge around 45 degrees. That's why the ball flies a little longer than an older set, but it's not jacked to game-improvement extremes, so gapping into your wedges stays sensible.

Who should not buy the Z 585?

If you're a beginner or a high-handicapper who needs maximum forgiveness and the widest sole possible, a dedicated game-improvement iron will serve you better. And if you're a low-handicap ball striker who wants to shape shots and prefers a thin topline with minimal offset, the Z 785 or a true players iron is the closer fit.

Does the Z 585 hold up in 2026, or is it too old?

It launched in 2018, so it's a few generations back, but the formula still works. Players distance irons have refined the face tech since then, yet the SUP10 face and forged feel of the Z 585 remain genuinely good. Buying used, it's a strong value, and the feel holds up against newer models even if you give up a couple yards of the latest ball-speed gains.
