Srixon Z585 Iron Set
Who’s It For
The players distance iron category has become more and more popular in golf in recent years, and in many ways it was Srixon that was well ahead of the curve when it launched its Z 545 irons several years ago. The company followed up that with the highly popular Z 565 and is now back with the brand new Z 585 irons. As has been the case with Srixon’s 5-series irons, the Z 585 will be tough to lump into just one category. These are irons that offer explosive ball speed and distance, as well as high launch conditions and significant forgiveness. That performance, however, comes in a sleek, compact package that also offers the soft, forged feel that better players love. For those who are less concerned about distance and want maximum control in an iron, however, the Z 785 irons might be a better option.
The Tech Story
Srixon’s Z 565 irons were known for producing incredible ball speeds and distance, and that performance advantage was made possible by the use of an SUP10 face insert. With the new Z 585 irons, Srixon has taken that ball speed to an even higher level by utilizing an internal channel on the SUP10 face insert, a design feature it is calling a Speed Groove. The result is a clubface that flexes even more than the Z 565 to create even faster ball speeds. Also new with the Z 585 irons is a revamped sole design, which Srixon is calling the Tour V.T. Sole. The new shape has been implemented to provide even better turf interaction from the fairway or rough, and deeper grooves and laser face milling have also been utilized in the design to provide more spin and improved spin consistency from any lie. The soles of the long irons are also slightly thicker to provide more forgiveness in terms of the strike. Additionally, the body of the Z 585 irons has been forged from soft 1020 carbon steel to provide a crisp, solid sound and feel at impact. The stock shaft options for the Z 585 irons are the Nippon Modus 105 steel or the Miyazaki Kuala graphite, but Srixon also offers more than two dozen additional aftermarket shafts at no upcharge for players in need of a different profile.
