The Z 565 driver delivers Srixon’s most advanced innovation and is clearly the finest performance driver they’ve ever built. This driver promotes a higher launch with a slight draw bias in a more forgiving 460cc head. It features three technologies that work together to enhance ball speed across the face for increased distance.
Power Wave Sole is anadvanced, multi-step design which allows the entire sole to flex, enhancing the COR, especially on contact lower on the clubface. Stretch Flex Cup Face features a 6-4 Ti face that has been extended farther around crown and sole to create an even larger, more forgiving sweet spot. Finally, a lightweight crown from which about 4 grams have been removed and repositioned, enhances clubhead MOI and lowers the center of gravity.
MyGolfSpy named the Srixon Z 565 driver its Most Wanted Driver of 2017. MyGolfSpy, a golf media outlet whose “mission is to inform and protect the golf consumer,” bills its Most Wanted Driver test as “the largest unbiased, data-based driver test conducted in the golf media industry.” Based on their thorough research of player data for all drivers submitted for testing, the Srixon Z 565 proved to offer the best overall performance of any model according to the results of the 2017 study.
Scott Carlyle, Srixon Senior Vice President of Global Marketing in North America relates, “The Srixon Z 565 driver delivers phenomenal performance for skilled players seeking enhanced distance and accuracy, and to see those benefits validated in a comprehensive player test against the top competitor drivers is very fulfilling for all of our employees and ambassadors around the world.”
