Srixon Z U65 Utility Iron Review

Golfshake's Owen Davies puts the new Srixon Z U65 Utility Iron to the test and discovers what the pros and cons are of a utility iron when compare to long irons and hybrids. 

Product Overview:

The brand-new Z U65 utility iron features a hollow construction in a slim profile. Srixon has managed to achieve unsurpassed feel with unmatched distance with a new S20C body and SUP10 face. Like the new Z 65 irons, these utility clubs also feature 5% larger grooves for more spin and control on longer shots into greens. The Z U65s hollow construction also allows weight in the club head to be repositioned low in the head for a higher initial launch resulting in further overall carry.
The Z U65 utility features the same ‘Ripple effect’ that can be found in the Z 65 series driver and fairway wood. It’s the most advanced innovation that Srixon has ever made and offers maximum distance and a more forgiving launch.
