777 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Anyone have some range time/rounds with these irons? I currently game the Epon 302's and curious if the Z745's are comparable in feel/forgiveness/distance etc. Anything would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestorm959 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Keen to find out how the Z545 driver stacks up also if anyone has given that a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBW Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Keen to find out how the Z545 driver stacks up also if anyone has given that a try! I was looking at this driver at the PGA Superstore the other day, and noticed the shaft and head were made in China, but assembled in the US. Kind of turned me off. I know it's all mental and probably has zero affect on performance, but just couldn't pull the trigger knowing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Tried a Z545 on a LM indoors. Felt good and distance and dispersion was also good. Didn't get on with the stock shafts as there was too much spin, so a Matrix 6M3 in x sorted that out :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats interesting cos dunlop japan advertises the JDM version as made in Japan. I Assume the shaft was the Kurokage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBW Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yes, it had a Kuro Kage shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestorm959 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Could be worth it just to buy the club from Tourspecgolf then considering they are charging about the same price for the JDM Japan version as the US stores are selling the China version for.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 They are made at the same place Endo Thailand but there is a lot of word play going on with the term "Made in Japan", that could mean finished, assembled, or even paint fill. The difference for Srixon gear is release date is earlier in Japan and the shaft options better in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find any information about the RX-45, how does it compare to the Miyazaki Kosuma, or any of their other shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiez Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 any comparisons to the onoff kuro? these look interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestorm959 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I had a hit of these a couple of weeks ago. Didn't feel as good as I was hoping, probably because I was struggling with both the Miyazaki and the kuro kage shafts. I reckon the head itself still looks awesome, so could be worth experimenting with different shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhaloprez Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I played my first round with the Z745's. Great feel! Definitely has the Endo softness and good distance. I think that Srixon has a winner in the A irons. I have owned and played Epon, Miura, Yururi, Vega and Yamaha. The 745's stand tall with all of them.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yup this year is Srixon's strongest launch ever imo. There is Srixon and Bridgestone who both have similar global strategies. It's a really tight race between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
