Srixon I-701 Steel Shaft Irons

The Srixon I-701 is a forged cavity back iron that is traditional in the playing position, but designed with a generous sweet area and a pocket cavity structure which allows for a lower and deeper center of gravity. The result is an extremely stable clubhead through impact enabling low to mid handicap golfers to get the ball airborne easier for higher, straighter and longer irons shots. The Srixon I-701 irons combine a traditional profile iron with a progressive offset. The clubhead is a unique two-piece design with a forged 1025 carbon steel body and an extremely soft forged 1020 carbon steel face. The softer, thinner clubface allows for a very large, high coefficient of restitution (COR) area making the I-701 irons extremely long, even on off-center hits.

What Golfalot Says


The design of the new Srixon I-701 irons has resulted in an extremely stable clubhead through impact enabling you to get the ball airborne easier and straighter. The clubhead looks very good at address and you hardly notice the cavity on the back of the club. Like us you probably would not have considered Srixon irons in the past, but we were pleasantly surprised by the I-701, which was an absolute joy to hit. The trajectory was excellent, the feel was great and the forgiveness was very impressive for a better players iron. There are not many recessed cavity irons out there that are forged and these are right up there with the best irons we have tested, so we would heartily recommend getting your hands on some if you are a low to mid handicapper.

Very, very surprised with the Srixon I-701 irons and in a good way. These look great, sit behind the ball well and are very easy to hit with a fair bit of forgiveness. The ball seems to fly of the club face and you get a good penetrating flight. Very impressed.
