Tour Fairway Wood

The Z 765 was Srixon's driver for players who wanted to hit down the flight, not up into it. This is the low-spin head in the 2016 Z lineup, the one aimed at golfers with enough speed and enough control to want a ball that bores through wind instead of ballooning. If you struggle to keep the ball down or you fight a two-way miss, this is not your driver. If you deliver a fairly repeatable strike and want to take spin off, it is.

At 460cc the head is full size, but Srixon kept the shape tidy and slightly pear-like at address, which reads better to a player's eye than a bloated square profile. The adjustable Quick Tune System hosel lets you move loft and lie to dial launch and fight a hook or fade bias. The face uses Srixon's Stretch Flex Cup construction with the Ripple Effect flex zone around the perimeter, so mishits toward the edges hold more ball speed than the small head might suggest.

Think of the Z 765 as the workable, flatter-launching sibling to the Z 565. The 565 launched higher and spun a touch more for players who needed help getting the ball up. The 765 gives that back in exchange for a lower, more piercing flight and the ability to shape shots on command.

• Faster swingers who spin the driver too much and lose distance to a ballooning flight
• Better ball strikers who want to work the ball both ways rather than hit one stock shape
• Players comfortable giving up some forgiveness for a lower, more wind-cheating trajectory
• Anyone who found the Z 565 launched or spun a little too high for their game

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What's the difference between the Srixon Z 765 and Z 565 driver?

The Z 765 is the lower-spin, more workable head. It launches flatter and lets you shape shots, which suits stronger players. The Z 565 launches higher and spins a bit more for easier carry and a straighter, more forgiving flight. Same year, same tech, different mission.

Is the Z 765 driver adjustable?

Yes. It uses Srixon's Quick Tune System hosel, which adjusts loft and lie separately. That lets you raise or lower launch and flatten the lie to fight a hook, or do the opposite to add a slight draw bias, without changing anything in your setup.

Is the Srixon Z 765 forgiving enough for a mid handicapper?

It's more forgiving than its small-headed look suggests thanks to the Ripple Effect face and Power Wave sole, but it is still a low-spin players driver. If you strike it fairly consistently, a mid handicapper can play it. If you fight a big two-way miss, the Z 565 or a more forgiving driver will treat you better.

Why does the Z 765 driver launch lower and spin less?

The weight sits low and slightly forward in the head, which reduces backspin and pulls the launch down into a more penetrating flight. That is a benefit if you spin the ball too much, and a drawback if you already struggle to get the ball airborne.

What stock shaft came in the Srixon Z 765 driver?

The stock option was a Miyazaki Kaula, a lighter counterbalanced shaft that matched the head's fast, low-spin feel. Because the head is adjustable and the platform was popular, plenty of these can be found reshafted, so check the actual shaft before you buy used.
