We know how important irons are to a good round and a good score, but this latest release from Srixon can improve your game more than you thought possible…
Equipment
Picture the scene...
You turn up at the range with your clubs to hit a few balls. When taking in your surroundings, you can’t help but glance around you at how other golfers are getting on. You start guessing players’ handicaps based on their strike and how pure each ball sounds. The 5 or so players having a group lesson using standard gear may well be high handicappers, but the person launching balls down the range with some well-maintained shiny irons is at another level.
Golf irons can be broadly split into two categories: those that look amazing and those that help you play better. Players with a high handicap will want dependable irons that will improve their game. While players with a low handicap may be more inclined for those that will have them playing in style and attacking the flag.
Srixon is renowned for making quality clubs that are suitable for specific types of golfers, from beginners to professionals. Please read on as we give you two examples of their latest available iron sets. One that looks incredible, and one that’s super friendly and reliable.
It’s part of our psychology that when we feel we look good we gain confidence, and playing good golf is all about having confidence in your shots. The Srixon Z-Forged II irons are a smooth blade-like style club and ooze charisma.
The classically designed clubhead looks great when you’re standing over the ball, whilst they dazzle when they’re all lined up in your bag. The whole club gives you the feeling of holding something special and powerful.
Part of what makes blade irons so special is that they’re forged from a single piece of metal. Because the club is a solid unit, it’s much more workable and receptive to you shaping the shot how you want it. But this doesn't mean they're lacking in technology. Oh no! These Z-Forged II irons boast a PureFrame to relocate weight behind the face where you strike the ball, improving playability and performance.
This is exactly the kind of design tour players love as it’s so nimble and workable. If you’re in the single-figures and looking for new clubs, you’ll be very tempted to try for some blades.
If you love the game of golf but haven't reached the lofty heights of single-figure golf yet, you’ll be looking for some irons that will offer you lots of forgiveness and performance. There are loads of handy game-improvement irons available, with the ZX7 Mk II irons from Srixon being a prime example.
These irons are packed with features to help you make clean strikes. The club face has been designed to help you achieve a higher ball launch and faster ball speed so you get some good distance, whether you’re hitting off the tee or going for the green.
Game-improvement irons help you play better by offering you more forgiveness on your strikes. Not only is the clubhead slightly bigger, but the ZX7 Mk II boast a Tour V.T. Sole that encourages a smooth glide through the turf without diminishing balls speed.
So, if you’re looking to buy some new irons this year, which style of club would you go for? Bladed clubs or game improvement irons? Naturally, you’ll want to take your level of ability into account, and that would be our recommendation too. While we could probably all hope to improve our game, the elite clubs that look the most stylish are a great example of why we love golf, and can’t help but wonder what the clubs of the future will look like!
