Srixon built the Z785 wedge in 2018 for players who already know what they want from a wedge and don't need the club to bail them out. It's forged, it comes in a Tour Grind, and the loft range runs from 48 all the way to 60 degrees. That spread tells you the intent right away. This is a set-matching, gap-filling wedge family aimed at better players who like to work the ball.
The forging is the part you feel first. Soft carbon steel gives that dense, muted click off the face on a flush strike, and it lets you sense exactly where contact happened on a half wedge. Miss it thin and you'll know. The Tour Grind keeps the sole trim and versatile, so the leading edge sits low and clean at address and you can open the face without the bounce fighting you.
Progressive lofts mean the higher-lofted heads and the lower-lofted ones aren't built identically. The 48 and 50 behave more like an extension of a players iron set, while the 56, 58, and 60 lean into shot-making around the green. If you play a Z-series iron set or anything in that better-player mold, these slot in without a jarring change in look or feel.

About the Srixon Z785 Wedge
The Tour Grind is the story here. Srixon trims material off the heel and trailing edge so the wedge tucks into the turf when you lay the face open, which is what you want out of the higher lofts on flop shots and delicate greenside work off tight lies. It's not a wide, forgiving sole. Play this off fluffy lies or fat sand and you'll need to bring your own technique. Across the loft range the progressive design shifts the head to match the job. Lower lofts get a shape and sole tuned for full swings and iron-like gapping, while the wedge-specific lofts are ground for touch and spin. The forged 1020 carbon steel is soft by design, so feel is consistent from the pitching-wedge lofts up through the lob wedge, and the milled grooves are set up to grab on those shorter, spinning shots.
Who Should Play the Srixon Z785 Wedge?
- ✓Better players who already control trajectory and spin and want feel over forgiveness.
- ✓Anyone playing a Z-series or similar players iron set who wants their wedges to match the look and turf interaction.
- ✓Golfers who play firm turf and tight lies where a low, versatile sole helps more than extra bounce.
- ✓Players who open the face for greenside shots and want a grind that supports that, not one that fights it.
- ✓Someone building a full gapped set from 48 up to 60 rather than adding one or two specialty wedges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What grind does the Srixon Z785 wedge come in?
It comes in the Tour Grind, a trimmed sole with relief on the heel and trailing edge. That lets you open the face and get the leading edge down on tight lies, but it gives up bounce and forgiveness compared to a wider-soled option. It suits firm turf and cleaner lies more than soft, fluffy conditions.
What lofts are available in the Z785 wedge?
The lineup runs 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. That full spread lets you gap tightly off a players iron set at the lower end and cover greenside and lob shots at the top. Most players pull three or four of these to fill the gaps below their iron set.
Is the Z785 wedge forged?
Yes. It's forged from soft carbon steel, which is why the feel is dense and muted on flush contact and why you get such clear feedback on partial and half shots. If you value knowing exactly where you struck the ball, forged construction is a real part of the appeal here.
What do progressive lofts mean on this wedge?
It means the heads aren't identical across the loft range. The lower lofts like 48 and 50 are built to blend with a players iron set for full-swing gapping, while the higher lofts are ground and weighted for touch and spin around the green. The result is a family that behaves the way each loft is actually used.
Who should skip the Z785 wedge?
Higher-handicap players or anyone who plays a lot of soft, fluffy lies. The Tour Grind runs a trim sole with limited bounce, so it rewards clean contact and punishes fat strikes. If you want a wedge that helps you get the ball up with a margin for error, a wider-soled, higher-bounce option is a better fit.
