The Z 585 lives in the gap between two kinds of iron, and that's the whole point. It's forged, which normally means a compact blade for low handicappers, but Srixon built it with a bigger head, a wider sole, and enough face tech to move the ball for players who don't strike it dead center every time. Think of it as a forged iron that stopped pretending it was too good to help you.
The lofts tell the story. A 30.5-degree 7-iron is stronger than a classic players iron sitting around 34, but it's nowhere near the 28-degree territory of the super-strong game improvement irons that chase distance numbers at all costs. You get real ball speed and a bit of extra carry without the fliers and the ballooning long irons that come with lofts that are cranked too far.
What you feel at impact is the forged 1020 carbon steel doing its job. This is a soft, connected sensation you don't usually get from an iron marketed on distance, and it's the reason players who care about feedback keep coming back to Srixon.
In short
The Srixon Z 585 (2018) is a forgiving game-improvement iron built for consistent distance. The set runs 3-iron to PW with a 30.5° 7-iron. It carries a $749 MSRP.

The head is forged in one piece from 1020 carbon steel, then Srixon drops in a SUP10 high-strength steel face insert with a Speed Groove milled right behind it. That combination lets the face flex more at impact, so mishits low on the face hold their speed better than they should. The cavity back pushes weight toward the perimeter for stability, and the progressive design means the long irons run a touch bigger and more forgiving while the short irons tighten up for control. Underneath sits the Tour V.T. Sole, which rounds off the leading and trailing edges so the club glides through turf instead of digging. That sole shape is a small thing you stop noticing after a few rounds, which is exactly the point. It works the same off a tight fairway lie as it does out of the rough.
The Srixon Z 585's 7-iron is lofted at 30.5° - 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 148-158 yards. The 5-iron (24°) to 7-iron gap of 6.5° 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.
Yes. The body is forged in one piece from 1020 carbon steel, and Srixon adds a SUP10 steel face insert for ball speed. So you get the soft forged feel with a bit of the distance tech usually reserved for cast irons.
The Z 785 is the more compact, workable players iron with a thinner topline and less offset. The Z 585 has a slightly larger head, a wider sole, and that SUP10 face insert, so it launches easier and forgives misses better. If you want more help, go 585. If you want more control and shot shaping, go 785. Some players even mix them across the set.
They're moderately strong. The 7-iron sits at 30.5 degrees and the pitching wedge at 44. That's stronger than a traditional players iron but well short of the aggressive game improvement irons that push the 7-iron into the 28s. You gain some distance without losing the ability to stop the ball on a green.
It fits a wide band, roughly mid-single digits up through the mid-teens. Better players use it as a forgiving option that still feels like a forged iron, while improving golfers use it as a step up from a full game improvement set without a huge drop in forgiveness.
It's a sole design with the leading and trailing edges rounded off so the club enters and exits the turf more smoothly. In practice it means less digging and cleaner contact, which helps out of the rough and on tighter lies alike.
