ATLANTA, GA, August 9, 2005 -
Srixon Sports, a leader in innovative golf club technology, today
announces the launch of Srixon’s I-506 irons to its club lineup. The
I-506 features Srixon’s tour back cavity design, forged out of soft
1025 mild carbon steel. It has a classic blade profile with a thin
topline and minimal offset giving it the appearance of a traditional
players club. The I-506 gives the feedback and response that better
players demand in their shotmaking, with all of the technology and
forgiveness built into the Digital Impact Design.
“The
I-506 irons demonstrates the expertise that Srixon possesses to blend
the science of ball and club impact with the artisans touch for
crafting scoring clubs,” said Richard Stamper, Srixon’s President. “We
know through many years researching the physics behind ball/club impact
that, with the modern golf ball, the ideal launch conditions are high
trajectory with penetrating flight. Srixon’s proprietary Digital Impact
Technology designed into the I-506 delivers exactly these conditions.
This technology allows us to determine the optimal weighting and low
and deep center of gravity placement in every iron which gets the ball
airborne with precise distance control. At the same time, better
players, for whom the I-506 is designed, will see the traditional setup
profile and have the confidence to play any shot that’s demanded,”
added Stamper.
The lower and deeper center of
gravity (CG) of the I-506 promotes the ideal high launch angle with a
penetrating ball flight while increasing the forgiveness on off-center
hits. The center of gravity is also placed at a constant distance from
the shaft line throughout the set which allows for more consistent
distance control and greater shotmaking confidence. Furthermore, the
overall playability of the I-506 is enhanced by the double radius sole
with unique heel and toe cuts which ensures smooth contact through all
turf conditions. Overall, the I-506 irons give you the confidence to
play the shot you need while making your mis-hits more playable than
with conventional irons.
The I-506 irons come
standard with True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts. They are available for
both right and left-handed players in 2 through pitching wedge (46
deg). Suggested retail price per set (2-PW) is $999.
