Posted November 3, 201410 yr 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!
November 15, 201410 yr Keen to find out how the Z545 driver stacks up also if anyone has given that a try!
November 15, 201410 yr 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.
November 15, 201410 yr 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 :)

I Assume the shaft was the Kurokage?
November 17, 201410 yr 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.
November 17, 201410 yr 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.

The difference for Srixon gear is release date is earlier in Japan and the shaft options better in some cases. The JDM version gets the Miyazaki RX-45 vs the American Kurokage. 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?
December 13, 201410 yr 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.
December 14, 201410 yr 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.
December 14, 201410 yr 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.
