![]() ![]() A new “open heel” frees up 5g of weight, helping improve forgiveness. HD forging (for the first time in the JPX family) squeezes grain structure closer together lower in the blade (where shots are hit) improving feel. The numbers speak for themselves, and as they’ve been in Wilson’s range for two years, you might well find a set very soon for very sensible money. ![]() It might not be our first choice, but it’s down to purely subjective ingredients like head shaping and polished, shiny finishes. Take nothing away from the V6, it is a strong performer. Wilson have rinsed every last drop of performance out of the V6, which probably explains why Padraig Harrington swears by his.įull Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 iron review here The V6 throws up a real conundrum as its tiny head is one of the smallest we tested, yet from the weakest loft of the category (forgiveness two irons) it produced a spot-on average performance, which says it’s punching well above its weight. Each head is forged from 8620 carbon steel for ultimate feel and feedback.īall speed: 119 MPH Launch angle: 17.7° Backspin: 5721 RPM Height: 29 YDS Descent angle: 45° Carry:171 YDS It means a higher peak height in the long and mid irons and a steeper descent angle for attacking the pin. In the current market the price tag represents really good value for money, especially when you factor in 12 premium shaft options at no extra cost.Ģ0g of tungsten weighting in the 3-7 iron lowers the centre of gravity, increasing launch angle without adding spin. From all the irons with a Forgiveness rating of 2, the Z 785’s produced our test pro’s longest average carry distance (179 yards) without being the strongest loft, which is seriously impressive.Ī lovely subtle, traditional styled players iron with some serious performance for decent golfers. It should be no surprise then Srixon were the fastest growing iron brand in the UK last year. They sit beautifully behind the ball, look simple and unfussy and feel every bit as good as any forged iron we’ve hit. Srixon have refocused their attention to the tour and better player market, and the new Z 785s are everything a decent player wants.

Because blades are so niche we’ve shown our five test models details and data only. Yet even with those strong lofts, shots launched and flew at a similar height, and landed at exactly the same descent angle as the blades – but with an extra 12 yards of carry. For example, 5mph more ball speed (in favour of the game improver models) can partly be explained by a 2.5° stronger loft. The data averages for our five blade sets (forgiveness rating 1) looks very different to the numbers of our game improvement (category 3) irons.
