Posted July 21, 200519 yr comment_99658 Srixon has finally announced their new products which include the W-505 driver, Z-Steel fairway woods, and i505 irons. The W-505 incorporates a 5 gram weight in the sole plate. From what I can gather, this weight is fixed depending on the loft: in the toe for the 10.5*, mid-sole for the 9.5*, and in the heel for the 8.5*. I have translated the info but would like Chris to confirm this once he reads the actual info in Japanese. The Z-Steel fairway woods feature a maraging face and mid-profile. Similar characteristics to the Gauge GAF-1 I believe? The i505 irons look remarkably similar to the Tourstage X-Blade CBs... Here is the page for all the info: http://golf.dunlop.co.jp/srixon/sri_club.html Enjoy :love:
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99663 Nice find DL although the 404's look better imho. The 505's look like a cross between the x-blade cb's and t-zoids.
July 21, 200519 yr Author comment_99664 Nice find DL although the 404's look better imho. The 505's look like a cross between the x-blade cb's and t-zoids. Absolutely. Although I'm sure the i505s perform, i'm kind of glad there have been no takers for my i404s :cool:
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99673 Great pics, and man, does the 505 ever look like the X-Blade CB :confused: But I like it :money: Just a quick question, you mentioned the offset, but on the site, the face progression numbers look similar to those listed for the I-404... I took a look at the overhead pics, but can't really tell much from those, as they are a little small. Either way, they look very solid. Thanks again for the pics.

You're right, the progression numbers do look similar. I only looked at their stock photo and it just appeared that the i505 offset was more pronounced. Thanks for picking up on that.
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99689 Definitely keep the 404's they look better IMO. The irons look like a copy cat model, they look sweet but the 404 is more subtle. The driver looks interesting but its probably non-conforming but very sweet. This weight thing in clubs is getting out of hand, I guess there's nothing left to invent there at a dead end IMO. They are going to have to go back to some of the pure older stuff and refine them. There were some solid clubs 5 years ago give or take and maybe longer. Thanks Tai good find. :cool:
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99693 WOW!!!!! I just checked out the site and there is a conforming model. Very interesting very interesting. :love: :cool: :confused:
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99696 wow great stuff! The golf shops around here started carrying srixon stuff! they only had the w-403's and a couple hybrids, oh yeah and an i-302 3 iron, but that was about it. AT least its better than nothing. Can't wait for the new stuff
July 21, 200519 yr Author comment_99703 WOW!!!!! I just checked out the site and there is a conforming model. Very interesting very interesting. :love: Â :cool: Â :confused: Yeah they have both models. I think the weight cannot be moved - hope Chris can confirm the details. For everyone interested, I believe Chris can order custom face angles from Srixon... The W302 and W404 were real solid drivers and I can't imagine the W505 to be anything less. I'm getting one :love:
July 25, 200519 yr comment_99945 In the US the I506 will be the new iron. here are Pics I took at the US Bank/GMO last week.
July 25, 200519 yr Author comment_99952 In the US teh I506 will be the new iron. Great pics. I still prefer the i505s even though I might not get them. Am I biased or do the US irons just not look as well made as the Japanese?? :surprize:
July 26, 200519 yr comment_99970 I have to agree with the guys above, whats up with the new US iron :confused: ?
July 27, 200519 yr comment_100025 Sept 12th is the date they are released and Yes I will be selling them.

Is it just me or does the shape really resemble a brick? Very weird looking.

I've ordered one :surprize: :whistle:

No matter - I'm sure it'll be up in b/s/t soon enough. Everyone knows the only club that stays in D's bag is the airmuscle :laugh:

July 27, 200519 yr comment_100104 Ya know guys I can order this puppy with any face angle you want in non conforming or USGA conforming.
August 6, 200519 yr comment_100701 I cant wait for the 506's to come out. Any idea when the 506's will be released in the US? I am also looking for a good Srixon driver to accompany my I-302's. the 403 has too much offset for my swing.
