The Srixon W-506 is the world’s only high volume driver equipped with Srixon’s proprietary Impact Power Body Construction. The Impact Power Body means we’ve varied the wall thicknesses in the face, sole and backwall which results in deformation of the entire clubhead instead of just the face as in traditional drivers. This phenomenon allows longer contact time between ball and club which optimizes launch conditions – low spin with high launch angle.
At 450cc, the W-506 is also the most forgiving driver we’ve ever created with a larger elliptical hitting zone (saying “sweet spot” doesn’t do it justice) that extends from high toe to low heel matching the common strike patterns of all golfers. In other words, we’ve put the forgiveness where you need it.
The High Power weight moves the centre of gravity (CG) low and deep in the clubhead to help further promote those optimal launch conditions. The CG is also progressively placed by loft so the higher lofts are easier to square.

Strange to write a review on a club that I am replacing but this W-506 has been a good friend for the past 3 years. I used a 10.5 Regular and it was a replacement for my reliable Srixon W-302. It is a reasonably accurate club and gave me good distance off the tee. I was surprised to see one of the "gorillas" at my club used the same club to launch it over 250 metres on a regular basis.Thus you see it can fit the "oldies" (me) as well as the "young guns".They are available cheaply in golf shops and secondhand on EBay and would be great value. I think Srixon drivers have been one of the most underated clubs over the years. Well made with good shafts they are a superior golf club.
Why am I changing you might ask?? Bought a Ping G5 to match the G5 Fairway woods that I am extremely happy with. The W-506 won’t be sold until I am convinced that the Ping G5 is superior!!
