Srixon Z545 Driver Review

he Srixon Z545 Driver is ideal for the player looking for amazingly long distance with the capability of fine-tuning without going to a golf shop. The Quick Tune System on the hosel is unique for a driver, allowing golfers to adjust the lie and face angle at address. Although you cannot adjust the loft, this is still an incredible feature especially being able to change the face angle from neutral to open or closed, depending on your shot shape tendencies or preferences.

Another aspect of the Srixon Z545 Driver is the weights that are included which allow you to alter the center-of-gravity. There are two weight ports: one towards the rear of the sole and one towards the center of the face on the sole. For higher launch and less spin, you can place the 7-gram weight at the back and the 3-gram weight in front, which lowers the center of gravity and increases the moment of inertia. If you reverse the rates, the initial launch is much more piercing through the air, and the ball will run more once it lands. Depending on the weather or course conditions, you can set up the Srixon Z545 Driver just the way you like it.

PROS

• Classic pear-shaped designthat is aesthetically pleasing
• Adjustability features allow golfers to customize the driver to their swing
• You can really feel the clubhead throughout the golf swing

CONS

• Can feel a little too heavy for those with slower swing speeds
• Lack of loft adjustability requires a custom fitting to configure the proper loft
• Ball can feel a little sluggish at impact with a very muted sound

The Srixon Z545 driver impresses with its clean, classic look at address and solid feel at impact. The 460cc head provides a good blend of forgiveness and workability. We found it produced consistent ball speeds, even on off-center hits, resulting in tight dispersion patterns.

Performance-wise, the Z545 delivers low spin and a mid-to-high launch angle, promoting long carries and plenty of roll. The adjustable hosel and interchangeable weights allow for fine-tuning of trajectory and shot shape. While not the longest driver we've tested, its accuracy and consistency stood out.

The stock Kuro Kage Black HBP 60 shaft complements the head well, offering stability without feeling too stiff. Overall, the Z545 is a quality all-rounder that should appeal to a wide range of players, from mid-handicappers to better golfers seeking a traditional-looking driver with modern performance.
