Adjustability comes in the form of a new ‘quick tune’ system where weights on the sole can be changed along with an adjustable loft sleeve.
Srixon say the Z785 driver will promote a low-spinning penetrating ball flight.
The same technologies flow into the Z85 fairway woods and hybrids.
“The new Z Series woods are pretty easy to explain: they’re long,” said marketing director, Brian Schielke.

“Longer than our past woods, and longer than the competition.
“Our stronger, faster titanium, combined with cup face construction is totally unique, totally different from everything out there and it really shows up, both on a launch monitor and on the course.”
That’s the lowdown on the new Srixon Z785 driver. So how did it perform? Find out on the next page…
Srixon Z785 driver review: The results
When I set this club down behind the ball it had a very classic shape with minimal styling and a subtle alignment aid.
After hitting it for the first time it had a ‘wow factor’ which I hadn’t previously experienced from a Srixon driver.
It has a really fast sound – if that makes sense – and will certainly grab the attention of your playing partners.
It sounds like it has been absolutely smashed.
The ball flight was strong and was giving me some decent numbers.
I think the Z785 driver is going to be right up there with ‘bigger’ driver names when it comes to distance and ball speed.
Srixon Z785 driver review: NCG verdict
This driver is being packaged as a ‘better player’ product but I’m not really sure why.
It’s not intimidating in the address position and it seems pretty forgiving across the face.
If I can use it and have success with it than anyone can.
It’s easily Srixon’s best driver to date and I think could get club golfers into their woods for the first time.
The price point isn’t unreasonable at all. And when consumers see that this driver is a good £50-£60 cheaper than some of the other brand’s flagship models, they’ll be liking it even more.
