The previous ZX7 is the most complete iron I've ever played, especially me being a tad bit on the steeper side. I'm sure these are going to be incredible as well. 💯
Me too, they are money. And the feedback is worth it. If you have enough speed, get an iron that will communicate to you how you hit the ball so you have an opportunity to improve!
I love them. Had my Cleveland ta3 form forged for 20 years and finally switched to the zx7s. They are amazing and couldn't be happier with them. Went 4-aw and added the 19 degree utility iron. Love the set
Srixon continues to propel the momentum from the ZX line from last year. The std deviations on these were absolutely insane! I currently have the ZX-5's in the bag and they by far the best irons I've ever had. So good for all handicaps and can even make combo sets...great job boys!
In Australia these have been out for 2 months. I have played 10 or so rounds with mine and they are phenomenal. I would say they are a 5% improvement on the original model. The sweet spot is larger.
@@davepoulsen1007 yes they are. I had the original zx7 the last 2 seasons. Scored my top 2 PRs on 18 (69, -2 and 70, -1). Have some course vlogs on my channel with them. Just ordered a set of the mk2's after testing them for a fitting. More ball speed and seemed more forgiving to me.
I bought a set of Zx5 irons at Golf Town in Kitchener Ontario Canada. They took 1/2” off the length and took them down 1 degree on the lie. Should have done this years ago. Just love them! Never had that soft feeling when you flush the ball. Go out and get a set guys you won’t be disappointed.
Love my ZX5’s so won’t need a change yet. These look great & very consistent. Srixon are great clubs & not silly expensive either, more people should take a look when testing
My MK1 ZX7's will be with me until they wear out. Feel, feedback and consistency are amazing. The feel is so addicting. The feedback is so necessary. And the consistency wins the money to help pay for them. 😉
I got fitted today as I was looking to replace my Radspeed irons as my game has improved since taking lessons. I blindly tried the Mizuno 923 forged, Mizuno 225 pro, Taylormade 770, Cobra forged tec and the Srixon ZX5 MKii & ZX7 MKii. The ZX line by far, had the best feel, dispersion, consistency and looks! I ended up purchasing a MK2 utility 3 iron (20 degree), the ZX5 4/5/6 iron with a 1 degree weak bend and ZX7 7/8/9/PW. I had concerns with seeing videos with the Srixon’s having low spin but my swing speed mitigated those thoughts quickly. I went with the XS 6.5 project x 115 rifle shafts over the kbs $-tapers 120 just due to the seldom ballooning shots the kbs provided. The Srixon irons are excellent, do not sleep on these irons, I am blown away and cannot wait to get my clubs!
I had a set of Titleist 718 Ap2's and switched to the Srixon ZX5's 5-Pw and they are amazing great sound and feel. Thinking of blending in the Zx7's 8-Pw for gaping. Anyone considering the Srixon ZX irons should! Awesome channel guys. I watch constantly. Go TXG!!!!
After a 18 year layoff and picking up a set of cobra fp irons with aldila 70 gram shafts huge offset huge head light shaft my game stunk. Renting a set of zx5 at a course 120 modus shafts in extra stiff flex Holy cow in 18 I had 6 birdie looks and 4 par looks. So I ordered a set zx5/zx7 mixed set with modus 120gr extra stiff great irons perfect players distance irons. Keep up the great content great job getting down to 3 handicap Mikey
Have played the Srixon 585s for a couple years and loved them. Just recently tested the ZXs and made the call to update to a combo set ZX5 4-7 ZX7 8-PW. The forgiveness on off centre hits was incredible and my dispersion as a result was very impressive. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Loved playing the ZX5/ZX7 combo and nice to hear that they continue to positively. The ZX7 was my first entry into smaller players irons. I would encourage anyone looking to move into a more "players" iron shape to consider the ZX7 as they do not really look as scary as some of the other smaller irons. Some players think the topline is too wide (compared to blades) but I found them to be a great first move into better player irons and certainly not intimidating - almost like having training wheels as my game moved into the single digits. Also can't understate how good they feel on strike and that feedback has been essential to my improvement. Hard to beat that Japanese steel...
Last time I got fit for irons was 2019 and I came in with an open mind. Never expected Srixon but fell in love with them during the fitting process and still love my z585s
Zx7s played for 2 years. 0 handicap. Have many sets of clubs. Far more forgiving than they appear. They can get HOT and low spinning sometimes. Also found them sometimes tough to hit a cut. But really fun clubs to play and they feel excellent. Love the sole!
What was you playing before? I've got the pro 100 blades. Played blades for 20+ years. Feeling a little short in distance now so feeling a change is needed as I get older. Just worried about feedback and as you mentioned hot sometimes
@carls1205 went to the MKii zx7. They are about half a club shorter and better for gapping as I no longer hit my pw 156 of carry and they can gap with my wedges better. The spin retention is better. They launch half a degree higher, the spin is 300-400 more. They are great and excited to have them back in the bag. Seem to be easer to hit cuts and draws also. There are also clubs I would consider if you need more distance from your irons. These are in line with the category or players CB and are not a players distance.
Since 2014 745, 545 irons which are amazing to this years offering, they have only improved. Further the Nippon Modus golf shafts are standard. An amazing combo 👍🇦🇺
I JUST tried the new zx7 and the ZX5. I’m a 10 index (trending down). And I loved the ZX7. Right now in between that and the ping i230’s The ZX7 hit pure and was a tad forgiving. Still deciding
If I didn’t spend way too much on my Mk 1 ZX7s I would definitely be going in to pick these up! Love the look on them, the only thing I wish were different with mine, is I think the top lines a little too chunky.
I play the ZX5 MKI and they are really nice irons. I used to play a hybrid for my 6-iron with my previous irons. But I hit my ZX5 6-iron better than the hybrid. Very nice. I will say that the Srixon irons are good for a wide range of players. I have played many, many iron models including blades over the last 30 years. The ZX irons are right there with the best of them.
I was fit at your North York location in 2021 for the X7s in DG X100 Tour issue and I love them. Been playing the best golf the last two seasons. Now I have to get my driver dialed haha. Srixon and Mizuno make fantastic irons. I wish more people considered them when looking at new irons.
These are the third set of Srixon cavity back irons, the zx7's. Totally underated iron forgings. ON par with anything coming from Japan high end brands.
I'll probably play Srixon for life after gaming the Z785's for a few years. The sole is just unreal. A Z5/Z7 combo set on the MKII's is super enticing to upgrade.
@@jeffreykatz1330 I was fit to modus 120 shafts from x100 I had in my mizuno so everything feels softer but can’t tell if it’s head or shaft making that difference. I remember when fitting, the 921 Tour and zx7 felt similar but because I have a steeper swing the way the Srixons bounced off turf was a really different thing for me and actually watching the TXG video talking about the v sole benefits for steeper swings partly sold me on the srixons
Srixon Cleveland still remains the most underrated equipment brand in golf. Best bang for the buck and dollar value on the market today considering the great level of quality and performance you get in return.
My ZX5MKII are on their way and will be delivered today 🙂 Really looking forward to them. Fitted with Accra GE IR i Series Shafts (60i) and JumboMax JMX Ultralite Tapered Grips.
Looks like some fantastic clubs. I’ve got last years ZX7’s and love them. If you’re on the fence about Srixon irons, they’re definitely worth a few hits on the range!
I've been building up sets of japanese forged irons for my own playing and collection. One of the best sets I've built is a set of Srixon ZR-30. Love the sole design, gets through all sorts of turf, and the flight/spin patterns have been awesome. I love seeing that sole design is still apparent in these newer offerings.
Once again, great informational video. My question is if I have the original zx5 irons, is the technological differences between the old and new worth the cost of upgrading to the MKII clubs. Also since you have tested/reviewed both it would be nice to see the performance data comparison between the old and new irons.
Love my combo set.. first time I’ve had a long iron (ZX5 and although they have a little more offset than I like to see), I have amazing control with proper control when it comes to land angles and trajectory and the ZX7 from 7 iron and below. No need for 2 fairway woods or hybrids in the bag. Might be worth giving these a hit.
Oh how I waited for this review ever nice I saw the first pictures of them! Perfect to watch when ending a13-hour work day 😄 I love my Srixon Z785 and Z585s (combo set)
I tried a combo of the previous gen and actually had to use my warranty on the ZX5s due to the insert in the back of the cavity coming loose and moving. Hopefully they fixed that with this iteration, seems like a better design in the back of the head.
Loved the original ZX7 irons, unfortunately I had to cancel my order, as after having a set on order for 6 months, I still did not have my set. Couldn’t get a straight answer from Srixon on when they could be delivered, so I cancelled and went to New Level. Love my 902 forged Irons now! Wouldn’t trade the new levels for anything
Srixon had tons of supply chain issues the last 2 years from covid. Anything other than stock setup was impossible to get from them unfortunately but the zx7s have been by far the best iron I've ever played
I've loved Srixon irons for year, but I just watched the King MB/CB/Tour review. And.....oh, my, god. Those are phenomenal. Curious, though, I am wondering when TXG will review the Srixon prototype balls for 2023?
I tried those King Cobra's and a plethora of other irons today in a fitting. It came in 3rd for me. But go get a fitting. Dang, is worth the $. I was super surprised!!! Numbers don't lie. Srixon was # 5 on my list of clubs to try and....the Zx7 MII came out on top for me. Match it with the right shaft and OMG...fireworks!
The MK11 irons are better to combo than the prior iteration simply bcuz Srixon has slimmed down the models to where there is no stark differences between each model as you progress from, for example, the 7 to the 5 or the 5 to the 4.
How important is it to get fit for these, specifically OUTDOORS, with the V sole? Wouldnt you never really know the turf interaction being fit indoors on a mat?
I have last year's ZX5's and the sole width is way too wide for me to hit. I tend to sweep my irons and the bounce causes a lot of fat shots. My AoA is usually in the -2.5 range. My question to you is how much thinner is the ZX5 mkii sole width compared to the previous model? I had a set of the 945's and I'm sorry I sold them. Great set of irons.
Mark Crossfield will have a field day building a blended set with these bad bois, he’s a srixon player but only has around two of each model in his iron set at a time. PW/9i/8i in X7 7i/6i in X5 5i/4i in X4 what a set that would be 😍
I've got the srixon Pro 100's, i really like them but im stuck with sacrificing distance with them because the feel is amazing. Debating whether to go to the zx5 mk2 🤔
zx7 OG are the current gamers and i don’t plan to change but i dunno Ian might have to bag these mkII over the 502a and get some forgiveness back in the bag lol
Love the looks of these...curious in how often you guys are changing the lofts of the ZX5 when doing fittings for people. Are most people getting off the shelf lofts, or is it common to bend them a little weaker?
There's no iron I like the look of more than the zx7. Unfortunately they were not the right choice for my swing this past year when I got fit but I love them
@@pauld984 The Mizuno Pro 223s. Got way more consistency and spin with the 223s in the same shaft and they were another club I liked at address because the profile isn't too small.
Juuust ordered the zx5 mkii 5-A with tour lite X shaft. Need help with higher trajectory and spin. On the fence about getting the zx7 from 9‐A. I'm around a 15-17.
Hit the zx7 today in a fitting. 7i. 16 launch. 5500 spin. Decent angle 46. See any issues? I was probably more knowledgeable than the fitter thanks to your videos. Tried the zx5 as well and got almost identical ball flight and spin characteristics.
At 8:15 is shows that Mikey was hitting the ZX5 for the PW and ZX7 for the 5i. Isn't that backwards? Wouldn't you normally put the player's distance in the 4 and/or 5i? What am I missing here? Thanks,
Very new to Srixon and looking to upgrade from my JPX 800 forged. Do i go all out and head for the Mach 2s or a set of the first ZX7s? Pricing diff is noted. All you Srixon seniors’ advice is much appreciated 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Did they discontinue the 900 series? Several years ago my son was playing Z945, at least I think that was the name, which I played a few rounds and strongly considered a set of my own. While I ultimately chose Muira’s , I really liked those Srixon’s. Much better than the various big brands like Apex’s, 716 CB and even the Mizuno’s despite my gamers at that time were MP32’s
Only 5200ish with a 7i zx7 is more of ball striking than anything. Typically with solid contact, you/club should be around 6,500 at least. They all looked and sounded a little thin to me
Yes endo forged. I think when they are saying solid it’s because they put some more mass at the sweet spot, so it kind of feels like there’s some more meat behind the ball
Forging process isn't what makes a club feel soft. It's the type of metal being used. Virtually every wedge is cast (vokey Cleveland Callaway) and nobody complains about them being hard because they use a softer carbon steel in the casting.
What’s the forgiveness on these? One got some old Nike VR forged combo irons but I want something more forgiving on off centre hits, coming up short too often lately
The previous ZX7 is the most complete iron I've ever played, especially me being a tad bit on the steeper side. I'm sure these are going to be incredible as well. 💯
I have them too. Fantastic set of irons.
Me too, they are money. And the feedback is worth it. If you have enough speed, get an iron that will communicate to you how you hit the ball so you have an opportunity to improve!
Absolutely the best kept secret in golf. Keeps me steeper as well which made my contact that much better as I was more neutral in attack angle
@@austinfeliciano4483 the secret is getting out!! This is the most people I've seen interested in Srixon irons.
I love them. Had my Cleveland ta3 form forged for 20 years and finally switched to the zx7s. They are amazing and couldn't be happier with them. Went 4-aw and added the 19 degree utility iron. Love the set

Do the mk2’s feel as soft as the mk1’s? I read somewhere they didn’t.
Very underrated iron. I have multiple sets of irons (thanks TXG), but I still keep gaming the 785s when money is on the line. Great irons!
I have the 785s too, it's feels like the club is made out of butter when you hit them well (in a good way). So soft and amazing sound
Still have mine too, but will upgrade to the MKII.

ZX7 is gonna be hard to beat, so far the leaders are titleist in about every category but these could compete with t100
Nothing better than txg this time of year 😎
In the previous Zx7s currently. Absolutely love em. Only thing I’m not crazy about is the offset. These are intriguing for sure
As part of my fitting we weakened the lofts of the zx7 which reduced some of the offset. I came from Mizuno MP59 and the zx7 look the same.

Just got a combo set of the originals. Amazing. I'll look into these in about a decade when the grooves wear out.
Your channel is exceptional, thanks for the great content!
I feel like we can’t learn anything from these videos. You guys are way too damn good.

Oh how I waited for this review ever nice I saw the first pictures of them! Perfect to watch when ending a13-hour work day 😄 I love my Srixon Z785 and Z585s (combo set)
I ordered mine
I tried a combo of the previous gen and actually had to use my warranty on the ZX5s due to the insert in the back of the cavity coming loose and moving. Hopefully they fixed that with this iteration, seems like a better design in the back of the head.
Ian .. "You like a wee tug" .. 🤣 Great video boys .. nice swings Mike!
Great episode! Fun to see Ian and Mike swinging so well so early in the season
Loved the original ZX7 irons, unfortunately I had to cancel my order, as after having a set on order for 6 months, I still did not have my set. Couldn’t get a straight answer from Srixon on when they could be delivered, so I cancelled and went to New Level. Love my 902 forged Irons now! Wouldn’t trade the new levels for anything

Kind of surprised the spin was so low on the ZX7 7 iron
Last years ZX4’s were unbelievably good
5:50 - I want to laugh! Need a translation tho. CC couldn't pick it up either lol
Would love to see a comparison of this year and last. Thanks guys
The MK11 irons are better to combo than the prior iteration simply bcuz Srixon has slimmed down the models to where there is no stark differences between each model as you progress from, for example, the 7 to the 5 or the 5 to the 4.
Excited to hit these...hopefully the are keeping with the deep camber in the sole.

what a set that would be 😍
The best irons in golf, in my humble opinion.
Are we going to see the new z forged review soon?!?
Great looking/performing for sure!!
What would be two other top choices to compare to a ZX5/ZX7? Im assuming some of you texted other similar models before deciding on Srixion.
I've got the srixon Pro 100's, i really like them but im stuck with sacrificing distance with them because the feel is amazing. Debating whether to go to the zx5 mk2 🤔
I like your test but the same tester should hit both irons only then you can compair them
Probably won’t replace my zx7s but I can’t wait to test them
I'm in the same boat as you. I love my ZX7s, but I will test these.
Hey I’m looking to buy either the P770 or ZX5 what are the differences any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
zx7 OG are the current gamers and i don’t plan to change but i dunno Ian might have to bag these mkII over the 502a and get some forgiveness back in the bag lol
Love the looks of these...curious in how often you guys are changing the lofts of the ZX5 when doing fittings for people. Are most people getting off the shelf lofts, or is it common to bend them a little weaker?
How long was it for Mikey after staring in Ratt's video "Lay it Down" before he started with TXG?
probably not enough to take my current zx7mk1 out of the bag. but still amazing. cant see myself playing anything besides srixon irons
There's no iron I like the look of more than the zx7. Unfortunately they were not the right choice for my swing this past year when I got fit but I love them
What did you end up going with?
@@pauld984 The Mizuno Pro 223s. Got way more consistency and spin with the 223s in the same shaft and they were another club I liked at address because the profile isn't too small.
We all love a wee tug Ian.
Known many a tugger
Juuust ordered the zx5 mkii 5-A with tour lite X shaft. Need help with higher trajectory and spin. On the fence about getting the zx7 from 9‐A. I'm around a 15-17.
I wish they had the size of the zx5/zx4 with the lofts of the zx7
Hit the zx7 today in a fitting. 7i. 16 launch. 5500 spin. Decent angle 46. See any issues? I was probably more knowledgeable than the fitter thanks to your videos. Tried the zx5 as well and got almost identical ball flight and spin characteristics.
At 8:15 is shows that Mikey was hitting the ZX5 for the PW and ZX7 for the 5i. Isn't that backwards? Wouldn't you normally put the player's distance in the 4 and/or 5i? What am I missing here? Thanks,
Very new to Srixon and looking to upgrade from my JPX 800 forged.
Do i go all out and head for the Mach 2s or a set of the first ZX7s? Pricing diff is noted.
All you Srixon seniors’ advice is much appreciated 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Doubt you'll see any performance changes between zx7 and mkii zx7. If you can get the original zx7 for cheaper they are incredible
@@kourt2469 i pulled the trigger on the version 1s for 850 USD. Is that a steal, you reckon? Or shd it have gone lower?
I play previous ZX5/ZX7 combo and they are great irons.
@@gittsjr depends the condition and # of clubs. If you got 4-pw in decent condition that's decent deal
Did they discontinue the 900 series? Several years ago my son was playing Z945, at least I think that was the name, which I played a few rounds and strongly considered a set of my own. While I ultimately chose Muira’s , I really liked those Srixon’s. Much better than the various big brands like Apex’s, 716 CB and even the Mizuno’s despite my gamers at that time were MP32’s
Didn't Terry Koehler invent the v sole that Srixon uses for the Ben Hogan irons and TK wedges, and the sole is on the edison wedges now.
Dang that ZX7 has a chunky top line woof.
Only 5200ish with a 7i zx7 is more of ball striking than anything. Typically with solid contact, you/club should be around 6,500 at least. They all looked and sounded a little thin to me
Trying to decide between these t200 and 923 hm pro
Do you feel these are a ton better than last years model? Should one change from last years zx7 to this years mark II?
I love my zx7
I have never seen a srixon out on the course, maybe they’re not popular in California and more in Canada?
Is the ZX7 still Endo forged?
In the reviews I’ve read they feel more ‘solid’, not as soft?
Yes endo forged. I think when they are saying solid it’s because they put some more mass at the sweet spot, so it kind of feels like there’s some more meat behind the ball
Forging process isn't what makes a club feel soft. It's the type of metal being used. Virtually every wedge is cast (vokey Cleveland Callaway) and nobody complains about them being hard because they use a softer carbon steel in the casting.
What’s the forgiveness on these? One got some old Nike VR forged combo irons but I want something more forgiving on off centre hits, coming up short too often lately
Have you reviewed the drivers, FW’s or Hybrids yet?! If not, you’re are missing out.
Love the ZX7 but it always was a little too low spin for me.
