Equipment: Srixon unveil Z 65 irons range
By James Savage
The new Z 65 range from Srixon follows the Z545, Z745 and Z945 irons which were used by Srixon staffers including Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell.
With Z 65 we again have the 5 being a slightly larger, more cavity-back style with more forgiveness, the 7 being a sleeker muscle cavity and the 9 more of a compact pure blade for the better players.

The Z565 irons are suitable for golfers of all abilities but those with higher handicaps may want to look towards the Z355 and Z155 irons which were launched last year.
Srixon say the new Z565 irons will moved through the turf more effortlessly thanks to a new Tour VT sole.
There’s also a new high-strength face insert which aims to improve ball speeds.
With five per cent larger grooves than the Z545, Srixon say the new irons will be more consistent through better contact – especially in wet conditions.

The Z765 irons also feature the new Tour VT sole and larger grooves but also have improved feel and control thanks to a heat-treated, precision forged head.

Those players who seek a pure blade look and forged feel will love the Z965 which feature ultra-soft head material with special heat treatment for a smooth, consistent feel.
“The Z 65 series is absolutely stunning,” said Srixon’s European marketing manager Ben Davis.
“Hopefully golfers of all levels will be attracted by the combination of classic styling and game-changing innovation.”
