Tour Winner
Yeah, Srixon have pulled the rabbit out of the hat with their new range of irons. I text Scott Gourlay the other day asking his opinion, which I rate highly. He said they’re the best irons he’s handled for some time. Not just looks but performance and feel. I’ve also known Scott since he was junior golfer and I’ve yet to receive my commission for all the people I’ve sent to him.
Anyway, I’ve been steadily going off my TM RBZ tours, so I popped round to Scotty for a demo. He already has my spec/info so it was just the case of switch on trackman and let me hit at these bad boys. I was going to try other irons, but these looked so good and the ticked all my boxes, including price so I didn’t even try the new Mizuno’s models because another £150 was involved.
I still play off 5, but at 62 years young I’m no big hitter, my RBZ 6 iron carries around 155 and considering the Srixons are forged I would be happy if they went roughly the same. Well, the Srixons gave me another 3 or 4 yards, not that I was bothered. The real plus was that nice forged feel that I missed after selling my old MP53s. The other gain was my miss hits being further than my RBZ miss hits. The Srixons felt great and I knew with every, yes every shot, what way the ball was going without looking at the screen. I should know, I’ve been hitting balls for 40 odd years.
I tried a couple of main stream shafts but the new Nissan NS Pros were the dogs nads. So I’ve ordered a combination set, that being 4 to 8 in the Z 745 model with only two, the 9 and PW in the Z 945 blade model. This combination looks seamless, you just wouldn’t know, they’re so good.
Oh, I also tried the new Srixon driver and I did gain a little but not enough to want me to part with the RBZ/Accra shaft combination, a combination that I’ve never beaten as yet. So I recommend you try the new Driver as well as their lovely fairway woods.
Incidentally, I’m not just biased, but Scott looks after a few well known touring pros, mainly because he has shaft combinations that you will never find anywhere else.....trust me. His Aladdins cave is to die for and it would take a full day or more to get through all the shaft manufacturers he has, some I’ve never heard of.
Srixon really have come up trumps with these irons. Don’t take my word for it, go try and see for yourself.
