Technology
About the Srixon Z 565
The Srixon Z 565 features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent - designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
Loft Analysis
The Srixon Z 565's 7-iron is lofted at 31° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 147-157 yards. The 5-iron (24°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 44° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the Srixon Z 565?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers (12-24 HCP) focused on consistency and forgiveness
- ✓Golfers who benefit from a higher launch and softer landing on approach shots
- ✓Players who tend to miss thin and need help getting the ball airborne
- ✓Golfers carrying a 7-iron in the 145-165 yard window
