This driver may be Srixon’s breakthough turn in the club market
|
By
Tom Cunneff
The key to Srixon’s Z-RW driver is its “Starburst Power Face,” which the company
claims creates uniform trampoline effect all over the clubface, not just in the
center. Other technology includes four different bulge-and-roll zones to help
minimize dispersion while increasing the gear effect that helps shots hit off
the toe or heel bend back toward the middle.
 However, all that technology is
under the hood, so to speak. At address, all our testers saw was a
classic-looking club that provided great results. The ball jumped off the face,
evidenced by the impressive launch numbers, but shots were still easy to
control. “I love the traditional look,” says a 3. “Plus, working the ball was no
work at all.”
MSRP: $400 (four lofts, 8.5–11.5 degrees)
