Maybe it is a timing issue (it’s cold in most places, the holidays, and the delay you mention). Not much else makes sense but I’m hoping someone can fill me inThat is the million dollar question.
People said tour play and now they have that. Premium shafts which they started last time around.
Good looking head, which they have.
Low spin which they have.
Forgiveness which they have.
Maybe part of it is early launch and not hitting for another month?
I think access to the Srixon line is limited and causes them a lot of issues. I have one place who carries them and they never have any of the new items. The majority of my access is through the online stores. I was open to that and I took a chance the last cycle and it worked out beautifully and then I was reaffirmed at the Srixon event. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t get to see these clubs, especially the woods/hybrids.I’m downright floored by the lack of buzz on these woods and I’m guessing it’s the fact that Srixon isn’t historically a huge driver name.
question for folks - what could Srixon do different to grab attention? I’m really curious because the ZX5 has flat out outperformed the 2020 drivers I have on hand.

I guess I’m in a weird part of the world where I see all the Srixon stuff at my local shop (it’s independent) and I don’t have a big box store nearby. I can see the problem with online only exposure with a driver.I think access to the Srixon line is limited and causes them a lot of issues.

I don’t entirely subscribe to that type of approach because the past you, present you, and future you are all different people and think the same goes for companies but maybe things move so darn slow with perceptions that you are closer to right than I want to admit.This is Srixon lot in life.. They are punching up hill. I played the Srixon z745 driver and was fantastic but it was bad mouthed at every turn because even Srixon "tour players didn't play it"...
Srixon's stuff has been quality for years..

It is pretty impressive what the near-sweet performance is with this regardless of direction. You nailed it with the eye opener part.That said, this years is an eye opener imo, especially when people see what they do to the higher on the face miss.
I believe that is likely the reason. It has received solid reviews, especially from some of the heavy hitting youtubers. I think if this driver was available for sale when these videos/reviews hit they would of been a run on sales. TXG has put it head to head with the current early 2021 offerings and has shown that it is every bit as good as anything out there.Maybe part of it is early launch and not hitting for another month?

Oh. I’m going to hit that. Hard.
Whoa. That’s a great looking shot. It looks ALMOST like the ZX5 and I give kudos to Srixon for making them look pretty close.
The RT pairing is really good and I bet the smoke is just as good for those with a bit more aggressive of a swing.I put a Ventus blue 6s in my Z785 driver and took it to the range. That driver is so good. Has me looking forward to the ZX5 with a Riptide in it.
I wonder if they will offer the Smoke Yellow. That is a great shaft. Never have hit the regular Smoke.The RT pairing is really good and I bet the smoke is just as good for those with a bit more aggressive of a swing.
I would JUMP all over the smoke yellow but it doesn’t seem to show up as a stock enough. I’m not sure about this but I want it as a stock.I wonder if they will offer the Smoke Yellow. That is a great shaft. Never have hit the regular Smoke.
Jman hit the nail on the head for me when he mentioned access being the issue. Your feedback absolutely makes me want to try it, but am I going to blind buy one to try it, nope. Is there anywhere around here that I can try it, don't think so. If I did a driver fitting next year, I'd want to include it, but I seriously doubt my fitter will have Srixon woods available.I’m downright floored by the lack of buzz on these woods and I’m guessing it’s the fact that Srixon isn’t historically a huge driver name.

TGW should have them to hit, only other place I know of would be Golf USA in Manhattan. Not sure if the Golf USA in Newton has them or not.Jman hit the nail on the head for me when he mentioned access being the issue.

Their launch monitor is crap last I checked. I think Srixon needs a demo program.TGW should have them to hit, only other place I know of would be Golf USA in Manhattan. Not sure if the Golf USA in Newton has them or not.
I thought Auburn Hills has a demo day? Or go back to Crestview CC, they had Srixon fitting bag.Their launch monitor is crap last I checked. I think Srixon needs a demo program.
Hmmm didn't remember seeing that at Crestview. I'll have to watch for demo days.I thought Auburn Hills has a demo day? Or go back to Crestview CC, they had Srixon fitting bag.
