Review: Srixon Z765 Driver
Srixon also redesigned the face making what they call a stretch cup face. The idea is to make the face go further back on the body of the driver to create a bigger sweet spot. Since the Z765 driver is only 445cc, any additional forgiveness is appreciated. I really didn’t feel like I was missing out any forgiveness with this driver. I hit the majority of fairways with this driver in the bag. The crown was also lightened to move the CG lower and reduce some spin.
The most notable change that you will feel with this driver is the D5 swingweight. It creates a “heavy head” feel which kind of feels like swinging a hammer into the ball. There tends to be a little more whip sensation with the higher swingweight, which also means the MOI is a little higher in this club too so another way Srixon added some forgiveness. The Miyazaki Kaula shaft has a significant kick for a 65 gram stiff flex shaft. The over all feel is really good, but slightly different from other drivers, but ti really feels like you hammer the ball on each swing and the results were sneaky good.
The Srixon Z765 driver is designed for the better player, but if you generate the club head speed and like the 445cc driver, you are going to really like the on course results. I got this thing on my local desert course here in Tucson, AZ and was really impressed by both accuracy and distance. The ball launches on a strong mid height line that doesn’t move much side to side, but bounces down the fairway really nicely.

If you are looking for a new driver in 2017, don’t overlook the Srixon Z765 driver. It was designed for the better golfer, but has many forgiving features that will keep the ball on-line and still plenty long. This 445cc driver looks great, feels solid, offers great Flightscope numbers and finds fairways. The Srixon Z765 driver is Sneaky Good!!
