TECH TALK: Srixon’s new Z-785 and Z-585 drivers

Published

on

In the videos below, Jeff Brunski, the Vice President of R&D for Srixon, teaches GolfWRX Editor Andrew Tursky absolutely everything you need to know about both of Srixon’s new Z-585 and Z-785 drivers, the replacements for the Z-565 and Z-765 drivers released in 2017.

The relationship between the 785 and the 585 models will remain the same as their predecessors; the Z-785 will offer a lower-spinning, more penetrating trajectory with a tour-preferred look, according to Srixon, while the Z-585 will promote a bit more forgiveness with a larger profile. Both drivers have a new Ti51AF Cup Face to improve ball speeds across the face and carbon composite crowns. Also, the Z-875 driver has a Quick Tune System for hosel adjustments.

The Z-785 driver ($499) and the Z-585 driver ($399) will each be available starting on September 14.

    I have the Z565 and it’s a rocket. If they had a trade up program, I might pull the trigger. My issue is the shaft… you own Miyazaki, which is a premium shaft ( my opinion ). But you don’t use them in your clubs. What does that say about your confidence in your brand.?

      The Handcrafted Hzrdus shaft as stock shaft offering is a game changer. Seems Like Srixon upped the bar.

        How in the world do you know that? Do you have inside information or something. Your statement is just garbage.

          Obviously hit a raw nerve here with a Srixon fan

          I play z765/z965 combo and they are brilliant, absolutely brilliant

          But Srixon woods never perform and neither will theses

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
