The Srixon Z-Star driver incorporates the company's "STAR" fitting system. That system allows the golfer to make adjustments to face angle and clubhead weight. There are 84 possible combinations that affect trajectory and ballflight, not to mention swingweight.

Hosel adjustments are used to open or close the face angle, and two weight ports allow for changes to the weighting properties.

The stock shaft is a Miyazaki Dromos, which, Srixon says, "is the first premium custom shaft designed specifically for adjustable clubs."

The Srixon Z-Star driver has a mirror satin finish. It comes in lofts of 9 and 10.5 degrees with a Tour Velvet grip. The MAP is $399.99.

Srixon also has the Z-Star fairway woods, which can be adjusted for face angle and lie angle in 12 combinations. They come in 15- and 18-degree models with an MAP of $249.99. srixon.com
