There was a set of these irons in my Club's Pro Shop which sat there for over a year. Ever week or so I would go in and look at them and ponder their design as compared to TaylorMade and Callaway clubs. In late September of this year, I did a websearch on them and afterwards went in and bough them for $279.00 for the set. They were equipped with TT Dynamic Gold shafts/ S300. Let me tell you that I have simply been blown away by the feel, playability, and looks of these irons. They can flat out get the job done, especially on Bermuda grass. Absolutely awesome!!!! I now see that Srixon have on the market the newer I701 irons. If they are like the older ones, people better get on board. I discovered the Srixon I506 irons well after the fact.

Always go with a quality aftermarket shaft over factory stock shaft. If your tempo is smooth you could get away with reg pl blue and gain a couple of yards, but if you want consistancy with a driver as most of us do, go with a stiff flex and forget you even considered the sv.

I am looking to pick up a new 506 driver. It can come with the PLBlue or Stock SV shaft. I am more of a smooth swinger at about 95 mph. Everywhere I check that puts me right in the middle of S or R. Srixon rep says to go with their S cause they run a bit soft. What are your thoughts on the PLB? Thank you. Need some information quickly if possible. I am looking to pick up a new 506 driver.

Very impressed with the extra distance which was about a club length and ease of use compared to the Mizuno's which do not tolerate miss hits well, however, the srixons can't compare in feel.
