12.6, but I am rounding up.  LOL

 

I tried the 85's but at the time was in a groove with my 65's so I did not switch.

 

comparing the 765 6 iron the the ZX7 6 iron it is no contest on which is more forgiving, it is the ZX7.  Also I had the 65's with the 6 iron I had both the 5 and 7 series.  The ZX7 isn't much less forgiving than the 565 when I compared the 6 irons.

 

Amazing…this helps Big Time!! Cool, I’ll stick with my order for the ZX7 6-PW to combo with my ZX5 4-5 irons…looking forward to hitting 12.6 GIR’s too! 😉

Distance wise, though, seem about the same, correct?  Were you ever in the Z745?

Distance wise I ended up bending one or the other, but I bend every iron set I have ever played to get my yardage gaps where I want them.  3/8'" increments up from the 7 iron and 1/4" increments down puts every iron set in the mitchell.

 

I did play 745, but at the time I was playing a lot and only had 745's.   In comparison the zx5 and ZX7 sole design and how it gets through the turn is the most like the 745's.  The 65's were weird, but since my 45's had been stolen and I couldn't find a decent set of 45's quickly I went to the 65's.  Took a few months to get them sorted out.

 

It took me a few months to get used to the ZX line as the sole design is more like the 45, and from what I remember the 85 the few times I hit them on the range.

I ended up with a set shortly after starting this thread.   I really really liked him.

I hit my irons fantastic all year

 

Playing them again in 2022 for sure.

My buddy got his fit early this year and has loved them ever since... seem to be very forgiving for a cavity back and look amazing. I've tested them a few times and the long irons are actually super playable - and that comes from someone who has replaced his 4 iron with a hybrid 

[wam78]

One of my favorite set of irons I’ve owned, hands down.  And I’ve cycled through lots of them over the pass 2 years.  Very forgiving for their size, soft as anything I’ve ever played, great turf interaction, etc.  I can keep going.  Just a fantastic iron.  Oh, and no issues stopping the ball on greens.  

[ob1soccer]

thx for the update

[R5Two]

If you still want reviews, I am up to a 2 Handicap due to kids, etc. 

 

Played these in multiple tournaments. Amazing feel, great in the turf (I am a steep swinger and had no issues), and never had an issue working the ball either way. I have held greens I shouldn't have, especially woth long irons, and I can get a little over the top and hit the ball toward the toe and theyare very good on that miss. 

 

I think they blow the t100 away in terms of feel, sound and forgiveness. I think the t100 has them beat in distance control consistency, and workability (due to less forgiveness). T100 is a good iron, I prefer the srixon based on sound/feel. I hate the clicky sensation om the t100. 

 

Only negatives, is sometimes out of a fluffy lie in the rough the ball jumps. I mena it jumps hard. Distance control is tricky out of the rough. Thigh lies, no issues. The rough, you have to know your lie and practice. The other issue is they are a little thick on the topline and sometimes I swing them a little harder than I should. 

 

I love my ZX7 an while I do play blades during mid/late season I cannot see ever selling the ZX7s. They are just very dependable.

I played the stock setup all of 2021.  Iron game was amazing.

This winter of course I sold them and tried new irons - 225 Pro and 790s hoping bigger would be better.  Sold both of those fast as I had 0 spin with them and hated the feel.

 

Moved to T100S this year so far with mixed results.  Not sure Im good enough for them.  I might come crawling back to the stock ZX7 setup by May lol

I've had my eye on ZX7 for a long time. Just bought Mizuno Pro 225 like you and I'm still not in love. Doing some shaft experimentation, but if I end up bailing on the Mizunos, I'll probably be in the ZX7, or a ZX7/ZX5 combo.

Sounds like 1 foot out the door on the T100S……ZX7 are $$

1.5 feet..... T100S were costly.  Need to give them a few rounds

ZX7 in 7i-PW with modus 120 here and possibly the best irons I’ve ever played. Haven’t even bothered sniffing another set

Same here with the addition of 4-6i in ZX5 with modus 120. Really no need to "try" anything. These are perfect. 

[Aviador Naval]

Original review last June (post #7 on page one).  Nothing has changed except they have a few more character marks.  Absolutely love them.  Would consider exploring different shafts just for sh!ts and giggles but it sure is nice to have complete confidence and satisfaction in a set of irons.

 

As an aside, the ZX5 5i is awesome.  Allowed me to pull a hybrid from my bag.  Produces a ball flight I haven't seen from an iron in a long time.

Have been playing them since last summer in X100. Like many others, I love the turf interaction as a steeper angle of attack player. Excellent forgiveness on thin/toe strikes and great consistency/control for distance. Coming from Mizuno blades, I'm only sacrificing a small amount in feel and virtually nothing in workability / traj control for much better forgiveness on off center strikes and better turf interaction, esp in soft conditions. 

[Meerkat213]

I've had mine for over year now and don't have one negative thing to say about them.  I came from the i210s and these Srixons just work better for my swing and how I deliver the club.  A pure strike, to me, feels better than just about any club I've ever swung and the consistency across the face is pretty great.  Just a fantastic iron.  

[backspace1]

I might have a barley used set for sale ZX5 4-6 & ZX7 7-W, used a couple times on range and didn’t like the shaft. DM for more info 

[TJ83]

I'm at a year with my 4-pw zx7s with dg x7s. Best iron set I've ever had, they feel great, toe and thin misses still hit the green, and I can hit different shots with them. Let's not forget they look great too😎 these will be in the bag for as long as they have life left in them lol

I went in to get Mizuno 225's or 223's, the 225 looks better to me but the 223 was just as easy to hit, still had plenty of forgiveness on thin on toe hits (my usual miss) and felt better on a good strike than the 225.  But then I tried the ZX5 and ZX7.  The ZX7 looked good (its hard to beat the 221 or 225 in my book) and still had plenty of forgiveness on toe and thin hits.  So I have those ordered from Club Champion.  I'm hoping for a 5 week or less delivery so they get here by my 60th bday, which is why my wife bought them for me. 🙂. So totally agree with what @TJ83 said here.  I've been worried a little about the thin sole and how they will play on the course but I've read a lot more positives than negatives so I'm really excited to get them, assuming I do.  🙂

Got these yesterday with the standard modus 120 S in them. Not sure I'm sold on the shaft but man these feel so good. The hype on them is warranted.

Thanks for sharing. You hit the ball pretty dang far for modus 120s. Always amazing to see how one shaft helps one person perform compared to other shafts.

Good deal on B/S/T I had to jump on them. I was playing stock ping i200's with the awt stiff shafts before this. I think something x stiff in the 115-120g range would be the money spot for me.

I’d keep what you have. Seem to be working well with gapping and dispersion v

True but last week I went to a fitting day and they spec'd me for DG 120 x100 and I haven't stopped thinking about them since.. lol

 

I may end up grabbing one to test and turn the "deal" I got into them into an expensive experiment, like a true WRX'er.

I am playing the zx7 4-P for the first time this year after picking up the heads virtually brand new for a steal. Switched from the Mizzy JPX tour's and so far I'm in love. Feel is great, look is classic, an turf interaction seems so be really nice (I'm a digger). The only complaint I have so far is that I have put a little bag chatter on them but it's because they were brand new lol.

 

I am still dialing in the yardages because the lofts are pretty strong compared to the JPX Tour's but that just takes time to re-train myself. I am playing them with the PX 6.5's and I love how easy this are to launch and throw darts. Very very happy so far.

 

SO much so that I may be throwing the Srixon ZX utility in the bag to replace my 790 UDI

Highly recommend weakening 4-9 one degree. Beautiful clubs. Hit two darts with my 4i yesterday on postage stamp par 3s from 215-225. Wind doesn't affect the ball very much, beautiful penetrating flight and plenty of spin. Love these.

Zx7 user here, just picked up a zx utility and I can't say enough about it. It's an amazing club. With the right shaft/length/swingweight it's a weapon. 

 

Coming from a ping g410 crossover and I longer fear the overdraw. My zx is hotmelted and it sounds and feels amazing. Highly recommend it, I'd grab one 🤙🏽😎

yeah just threw a new shaft in the 790 UDI and going to give that a go and get new yardages and just see what the gapping is like and will probably switch from the 790 UDI 2i to the ZX utility 3i to get batter yardage gaps
