I've been holding out for the Sears Craftsman Irons, made from real spark plug wrenches, life-time warranty, available in both standard and metric; but it doesn't look good.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Their irons look fantastic. It's a toss up between them and the MP series irons from Mizuno for me.

Srixon is a subsidiary of Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (Japan). Here's the hierarchy: 

SRI Sports owns

  • Srixon/Cleveland
  • XXIO
  • Rights to Dunlap products in Asian market

Srixon was more popular in Great Britain and Europe for many years than in the USA. The SRI acquisition of Cleveland Golf and the joining of Srixon/Cleveland brought Srixon clubs into the USA mainstream.

As for golf equipment, Srixon makes a full line of golf balls and golf clubs. The most recent offerings are in the Z series. I'll discuss the irons, and you can check out the other products online.

In 2014 the Z545 and Z745 irons came onto the market. The Z355 came next as an SGI model, and is still in production. This year saw the Z565 (GI), Z765 (Player's Cavity) and Z795 (Blade) emerge. Srixon is also promoting blended 565/765 and 765/795 sets.

One of the key iron features (except in Z975s) is the VT Sole. This is a beveled sole with two bounce ratings, much like the Ben Hogan iron sets. Cleveland wedges also have this beveled sole.

Interesting.  I love my Cleveland wedge.

When I began looking for new irons about 3 years ago,  I tried every iron I could find.  Bought 7-9 srixon z945, Cleveland rtx2 wedges.  I'm about 12 handicap and know a lot of folks on here would say I should be using a game improvement iron, but I hit them more consistently than anything else I've tried.  I think they make the best feeling forged irons on the market, for me anyway.  They were built with DG s400 tour issue shafts and Winn jumbo grips.   I have misfits but that's my fault.

I just received my combo set of Srixon 7-PW z765, 4-6 z565. Took them for a spin on the range yesterday. I absolutely love them. Beautiful looking clubs as well. Mine are +1/4", standard lie, PX LZ 5.5 and Blue/Black GP MC midsize grips. Very nice feel and quite forgiving (especially the 565.)

Their irons look good, but I don't know any stores near me that stock them.

Golf Galaxy carries Srixon, and has stores in Cary, Winston-Salem and Charlotte.

All I can tell you about Srixon is that every ball of theirs I've ever played has been dynamite! Just the other day I stopped by a range that is totally automated. you can go smack a small bucket of your own shag balls, and it's cool with the owner. He doesn't have to buy those balls.

The other day I bought a small bucket and ran into a brand new Srixon Z-Star. i pocketed it, and put it in play today. What a beautiful ball. Every Srixon ball I've played has performed the same.

This is a company to check out!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
