If you had to pick... P770 vs ZX7.

[The Ultimate Hack]

😬

[third-times-a-charm]

P770 overall.

 

Feel? ZX7

Distance? P770

Looks? Toss up

Forgiveness? P770

 

In this category though dont forget to try the Apex 21 Pro, Honma TR20P, and the Mizuno HMB or new 225 also.

Hollow filled head vs fully forged solid head?

 

This thread will likely get out of hand quickly.

PXG. Kaboom baby.

[iNeedMoreGolf]

P770.

Comparing a fully forged head vs a hollow headed iron. Depends on what you want. If you purely want distance, go P770. If you want better feel, go ZX7. They're not exactly comparable irons.

[rcolwell7]

ZX7, for me based mostly on the sole design and feel.  I'm not after a ton of forgiveness or distance.  The P770s always felt too muted for my liking.

 

Sold away a set of P7MCs/P770s so that I could buy the ZX7s.

[sg91]

Zx7 personally as I prefer the way it looks and that it's a fully forged head. Nothing beats the Japanese forgings for me.

[Tarheelnation3]

ZX7 and it's not close...but that's just my opinion. 

[lefthack]

ZX7, without question.

[Yoshifan151]

ZX7

If I had to pick it would be ZX7, purely because I really dislike the idea of a hollow head/thin face in a package with blade-like MOI. Too demanding for me.

I’d go with the zx7, but you might be better comparing the zx5 to 770 as they’re a bit more similar. 
 

and in that comp I’d go with the zx5. 

[bvanlieu]

As many have posted, its a bit personal especially in the scoring clubs as the ZX7s are forged CB vs the ZX5.  I gamed P770 CBs since they came out which are similar in feel to a ZX7 being 1025 forged.  I am experimenting with the new 770s now as I already have 790s for the mid irons and am curious if there is really any little bit of ball speed help or not. 

 

When striking well the forged CB is a joy to hit. But when I am off a bit, I am curious what level of help it offers me. 

 

The new P770's pass the looks department as they are almost identical from top line to the older CBs. 

 

If cross shopping these new, I agree you have to at least look at the new 225 as well, or blend a 225/223 set 🙂

ZX7 all day. Of course, the sole is the wild card. 

[ob1soccer]

shouldnt the comparison be against the zx5?

Why ? The lofts are more in line with zx7
I think 770 vs zx7 is the right call

Didn’t like those at all. 

[ob1soccer]

didnt like the x5?

 

not about the lofts but the forging and feeling

[DFS PFD]

ZX7 by a mile

[makana]

Zx7 no question. 2 very different heads and are non comparable. Probably closer to the P7MC

Absolutely. The ZX7 is the best Srixon can do with what is essentially a single-piece forging (I know there's a tungsten plug in the 3-7, but still) while balancing forgiveness and performance. A club that can be good for solid ballstrikers yet also be adopted by tour pros. The P7MC is absolutely Taylormade's most comparable product in that regard. 

 

Off-topic, I also think the ZX7 is a good comparison against the MP20 MMC. The 223 seems to take a step away with the slot behind the face. It's also remarkable what Mizuno has been able to do with the MP20 MB in terms of infusing forgiveness, and if I were in the market I'd be keeping my eyes on the 221 to advance that and because of the sole changes. Wilson's staff model is also far easier to play than they "should" be. 

 

None of this is similar to the P770, not that that makes the P770 bad or inferior. It's just way different. 

[The Ultimate Hack]

Kinda surprised some are saying the 770's are hotter.

 

I thought the ZX7s were hotter. 

[deep18]

The 770s are good but the ZX7s are great. 

[Nixhex524]

Having owned the P770 and every Srixon 7 up to the 785, I have only demoed the ZX7 but this one isn't even close for me, it's the Srixons ALL day.  Better turf interaction, more consistent distances and I think they are more forgiving.  P770 do look great though!

the p770s are a player’s distance in a smaller head. zx7 is a player’s cavity back. zx5 is a smallish players distance. p7mc is a players cavity back. so it should be p770 vs zx5 or zx7 vs p7mc

I got more distance from the ZX7 than I would expect for the loft, but the only thing I think that means is that I'm finding the sweet spot more consistently. Maybe it's a CG thing, maybe it's visually inspiring, or maybe it's just a better shaft/head pairing, but I think the subjectivity of one or the other being "hotter" depends on the unique golfer.
