Cleveland-Srixon #FitLikeAPro: 6 Month Report


The Dansome

Recommended Posts

These numbers might sound forum exaggerated to y'all, but I've played with both these guys.

 

At the TaylorMade Kingdom they had to move Bones back to the "Sergio tees" because they ran out of room on the range and at La Costca range they asked him to stop hitting drivers period as they were all going over the back net.

 

On the 5th hole in Huntington Beach I hit a great drive, maybe 280ish and KC proceeds to fly that by like 20 yards...

I followed the Event, so I know the numbers KC was getting and I follow him on IG and have seen some of his postings,so there is no doubt he moves it out there.    I haven't seen too much of  Bone's data, but having them move you back to the Tour tees ( and I have been to the Kingdom, so I know that is not your typical muni style range you are speaking of) is just stupid long.

Excuse me, sir, those were the DJ tees. Sergio ain't got nothing on me.....except a green jacket.....and a few Tour wins......and fame and fortune.

 

The range at LaCosta was funny though...."excuse me, whoever is hitting driver over the net, please stop, the balls are going in the road".

It was nuts. I'd gotten to know Bones well on the forums (thank you distinguished gentlemen thread) and a little on Facebook, but you still have that "is this guy for real" in the back of your head. Then you meet him and he's like 5 feet tall so you think "ya right, no f@*ken way this guy hits it 3 bills" lol

 

So we go to the Kingdom, all the hype, and Bones addresses his first warmup. Back bushes... OK then, this guys for real lol

If you ever have a chance to get a place in your area that has the 565/765 irons or driver, you really should give them a try.

Thanks for the follow up, great read. Srixon/Cleveland is making some good looking and sounds like good performing stuff right now and their price on their putters is a steal! I love the line that I should pick one up even if I don't need it. You have me convinced, just not sure that my wife would be convinced by that logic, lol.

Excellent report MBP, you're artistry is fantastico! I have been researching the 565 irons ever since you foursome were given a chance of a lifetime to be fit like pro's and #journeytobetter. Just saving up enough to get fit with some 565's and thinking Recoils or Aerotech graphite shafts. Just curious as to how does the driver sounds like, does it have it's own unique sound or it is close to a ping, tm, callaway...

He wasn't slouching when he held that pose, watching his ball fly 50 yards past any of mine....

I'll chime in on the sound. I played my first 18 holes with today and alternated between three different balls. ProVX, Z Star and Q Star Tour.

 

I think the sound is actually closest to the 917D driver. I also have that driver. And if memory serves me correct a little like one of my old TM drivers either the R9 or Burner. I know thats a wide ramge of drivers but the 917 was the first that cams to mind. Definitely not like any of the recent Callaway's.

I think your previous view of Cleveland/Srixon other than wedges was not too far off base. Remember my original long post in this thread, I was a huge Cleveland supporter, with some of their product form the 2003 to 2005 era. Then I think as driver technology started to evovle...see TaylorMade with the moveable weights, they kinda fell behind the curve for a while.

 

All I can say is anyone considering a driver, needs to give this Z565 a look, and forget what they think they know or don't know about previous Srixon/Cleveland offerings. It will be hard to beat when put head to head with any others, and right now that include my 917D3.

Absolutely. I haven't heard a bad thing about the 65 series... And I've looked around. Srixon has definitely burst onto the scene for anyone that had the same view as I did up until recently
