In our forums, our members have been discussing Srixon’s Z-745 irons after ‘bogeyblues20’ asked for feedback on the clubs from fellow members. WRXers have been sharing their experience with the irons, with members calling the clubs “ultra forgiving”, “the softest feeling irons I’ve ever played”, and more.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

rufusmangler: “Still play them. Awesome, low profile look. All the top lines blend into each other. The feel on center hits is beautiful. Halfway decent forgiveness on off center contact. Love the wider V-sole. The V shaped muscle in back just powers through the ball.”
manima1: “I play them, and they are the best irons I’ve ever gamed. For a smaller players muscle cavity, they are ultra forgiving. The look and feel are 10/10. The only Cons: This is going to be a con for any soft forged iron, but while that soft forging promotes excellent feel, the bag chatter and wear and tear over the course of a few seasons is significant. You should see my 9 iron after a shot out of a waste area on a recent Troon North trip lol.”
gripandrip: “Currently playing them and have no plans to change until they wear out. Softest feeling irons I have ever played. You’ll hear lots of comments about the V-sole, both for and against, but it works great for me. I play them in a Steelfiber i95S shaft. I have only found a couple of clubs that I would change them out for. Maybe the Honma TW 747V. I hit the new Wilson blades the other day and were very impressed by those as well.”
chinaski: “This is my 4th season with them. They are perfect irons. I would buy another set if I could find one new. I checked Golf Avenue, and they aren’t there. There was a set of 945 new for $450 I really regret passing on a couple of months ago. I agree on the shaping of the 765, they are too rounded, but they are still great irons as well. I have the 765 AW. It feels great, but the shaping kinda bugs me.”
Oldboy: “I’ve had these for several seasons now. I think a year after they were released. I’ve never thought about replacing them. I did switch out the 4, and eventually, the 5 iron for 5 series as I’ve had kids don’t play as much and got old. Just to keep the gaps in the long irons. I’ve had multiple wood changes but never think of switching out my irons. Classics.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u

Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
Bridgestone J33cb – still own
