As a previous winner of the Open Championship — when it was held at Royal Portrush in 2019 — Shane Lowry understands how to navigate the variables of links golf. Now, at the halfway point of the 2024 Open at Royal Troon, he once again finds himself in a familiar position atop the leaderboard with 36 holes to go.
Here is a closer look at the clubs in his bag, along with the limited-edition Srixon staff bag holding them.
Driver: Srixon ZX5 Mk II (Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 70 TX), 8.5 degrees
Srixon ZX5 MK II Custom Driver
Featuring a larger footprint, flattened shape, and higher skirt—along with a single, adjustable, 8g rear weight placed low and deep—ZX5 Mk II combines heightened forgiveness, sharp looks, and exceptional swing feel ideal for gorgeous drives that launch straight, high, and go the distance.
REBOUND FRAME
Rebound Frame’s Dual Flex Zones focus more energy into the golf ball at impact, creating a purer energy transfer that instantaneously increases ball speed and distance on every strike.
ADJUSTABILITY
The ZX5 Mk II comes equipped with one 8g sole weight placed low and deep in the head. An adjustable hosel also provides the opportunity to vary loft, lie, and face angle
STAR FRAME CROWN
A complex series of ridges and latticework provides the structural integrity necessary to feature a remarkably thin titanium crown and to place discretionary mass where it best suits each ZX Mk II Driver’s ideal launch and spin characteristics.
VARIABLE THICKNESS FACE
An intricate variable thickness pattern expands the high COR area across the entire clubface. These unique ridges enhance high COR from heel to toe by improving how energy reflects into the ball on off-center shots.

The Tour AD DI is the first shaft design that was integrated with Toray Company’s original NANOALLOY material technology in the tip section of the shaft. This unique material technology promotes additional shaft stability without the loss of feel and allows the player to create greater club head speed and thus greater ball speed while still providing exceptional feel and control.You can purchase the Graphite Design Tour AD DI in the following models: DI-5, DI-6, DI-7, DI-8. The Tour AD DI Wood shaft will work in both a driver or fairway wood.
JOCKEY TIP: The Graphite Tour AD DI is ideal for the player that prefers a softer mid-section, while maintaining a firm enough tip section through impact, promoting a high launch and low spin ball flight condition.
