      @@awp7662 they were launched is September 2018. I have blended set 8-9-pw Z785 and 5-6-7 Z585. The 5-iron is kind of obsolete as my 6-iron carry is around 160 meters and 4-iron U85 around 170 m. The gap between 8-iron and 7-iron is 15 meters so that is a little too much. I am thinking of getting these MarkII:s but what bothers me slightly is the thicker top line in compared to Z785.

    I play the previous version ZX7's. I can't imagine anything being better. Butter soft feel with lots of feedback. Great stock option shafts. I don't know if I got lucky but all my shafts are very consistent. Modus 120 S. They were so good I didn't feel the need to pull them and check the spine alignment like I have had to do on all my previous sets, and with great improvements in consistency in distance and dispersion. But mostly I became a better ball striker having the feedback I did not have in previous sets, as they were GI irons. I'm going to wear these out before I change them.

      @@jaychu3850 Well you should test them first. Sometimes when you up the spin, you lose yardage. There is always a compromise. For me, I make plenty of spin and get plenty of bite with the original MKI. But I only play them to a 6 iron and go to rescues after that. Anyone that isn't a pro should be hitting rescues. They are literally twice as easy and twice as forgiving than longer irons. I can bite a 200 yard shot with a 4 rescue like an 8 iron bites. That means the ball is only a few feet from where it lands at most. I will be testing a 7 rescue to replace my 6 iron here in the near future.

    Game the ZX5's myself. Went in for a fitting considering Srixon, but leaning towards other brands, and walked away with the ZX5's as the clear winner, not only based off of numbers, but the looks and feel blew me away. I've always known Srixon to be a chronically underrated/disrespected brand, but I can personally now vouch for how slept-on this brand is. Would highly consider giving them a go for anyone considering a new set of sticks. They're pure.

    Decided to get fancy. I am a 9 Hdcp so the Zx5 full set would be what I should have ordered if I were normal but I'm a golfer so normal is not part of the equation. Ordered 5i 6i in the ZX5 and 7 thru gap in the ZX7. I think I have found nirvana. 5 & 6 ZX5 are much easier to hit, fly higher, and go longer than the ZX7. The 7 thru gap in the ZX7 are much better feeling with better trajectory control than the ZX5. Because I am a slow swinger (72 mph with the 7i) I chose the KBS Tour Lite steel shaft in reg flex (Just not a fan of graphite shafts in my irons). I am simply elated cuz I am a long sufferer in my search to find a suitable set of irons. I'm out. 🥺

I am a high speed player (avg 96mph with 7i) so that may have had something to do with it. Also bent my set 3* weak which only made the numbers even better

    @MichaelM-to4sg Рік тому +1

    I wonder if you’ve considered demoing full scoring club range, at least 8-PW, I’d do the 7 as well. The point being you’d see what the gapping would be for the most precision range of the clubs. I mention that in this particular test because of the crazy lofts.
    A 28.5 7-iron seems crazy. The result is you’re stuck w/large loft gaps of 5* in all scoring irons or you’re carrying at least 5 wedges. That 28.5 is 0.5 weaker than my 5 iron. While the ZX7 is 2* stronger than my gamers, that’s a pretty simple adaption and the lofts are in 4* steps throughout scoring range, thus I’d expect a nice 12-15 yd gap👍. As hot as those ZX4 faces are, would the 5* gaps be 16-18 yd gaps? Maybe more?
    Maybe it’s less of issue for intended golfer as that skill level is typically not a consistent ball striker.
    Anyway, that’s just a thought. Completely agree, the Szixon line of irons is extremely underrated

      Performance wise I don’t know, but the old model had quite a chunky sole and longer blade length. All 3 models are more compact now, but the ZX5 has changed the most. Now the sole and blade length of the new zx5 is almost as small as the old zx7. If you dig around on Srixon site you can see the measurements. The 5 is on my radar now that they don’t have that overly wide sole. Hope that helps.

    Not the biggest fan of the look. I actually like the z785 much more compared to the zx7, do you think there’s a lot of difference between the two?

    If only the top line of the ZX7 didn’t look so chun-keh

    I always felt like a hypocrit by riding motorcycles and thinking golf is an elitist sport
    Untill i looked at the price of these clubs. I'm sticking to cars and motorcycles. Fuck sakes for the price of 3-5 clubs, you can get yourself either a fun beater car and turn it into an autocross car and have some money left over OR build yourself an engine that can out perform the 6.2 chev has in their vette
