FORGIVENES­S RATING

-

SUP10 spring steel faces are combined with soft 1020 carbon steel bodies for a smooth but energetic feel, say Srixon. A Tour VT sole improves turf interactio­n so less energy is lost at impact and dispersion is improved. Double laser-milled patterns on the clubface create more stable and consistent spin no matter what the lie.

With a 7-iron loft a couple of degrees weaker than the strongest on test it’s no surprise the 565s struggled to keep up in terms of raw power for our two amateur testers. In the hands of our pro, it did however perform very solidly. With more shots hit closer to the centre of the face it posted a right-on-test average carry distance and above average ball speed. All in the 565 is a great package of face tech, forged feel, sound and forgivenes­s.
