My new clubs finally got delivered today :dance: 

I got fitted with the 130 gram KBS C-Taper X-Stiff golf shaft, 1 degree upright. I found the C-Taper produce the most consistent ball flight for me. It produced a more penetrating ball flight, and took a bit of my miss to the left.

Stunning - if my clubs were stolen and I had insurance money to reinvest I would go straight here. Great choice.

Me to! The store told me about a week after ordering if they had the golf shafts in stock.

Great looking clubs, good choice. Srixon makes quality stuff.

I never really took notice of them until these irons came out. The more I read up and talked to some people, the more I found they are a bit underrated for their clubs.

The big perk is there is no upcharge for any of their custom options.

Very nice!

I was fitted a month or so ago and Srixon were the clubs I ended up hitting the best as well. I was very surprised as Srixon never crossed my mind as a contender for my next set until I hit them. The look, the feel, etc...everything really felt great. And the price was much better as well. They have my setup information on file, but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Congrats!  That entire Srixon line is beautiful.  I'm thinking about getting fitted for the 565s once I decide to stop being a cheap bastard and pony up.  Enjoy the new clubs.

Some awesome clubs there! I was very interested in a similar setup, but unfortunately the closest place that carries them is about a 40 minute drive. I ended up picking up some Mizuno JPX 900 tours instead, got them yesterday as well.

Where were you fitted for these?  

Foxy's Golf Center in Canton, Ohio. They've been a local golf store in the Stark/Summit county area for over 40 years.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
