I'm kinda surprised the Low Spin version is based on the ZX5, which is the shallower/bigger head version.  ZX7 is more compact head.  ZX5 is larger, higher MOI.  Then the Low Spin is a ZX5 with the weight forward, and it the only one offered in 8.5* (9.5* and 10.5* for the others.)  

 

They're all 460cc, just shaped like you posted.

Placing an order immediately for the ZX5 LS 8.5 degree.  Absolutely excited about this entire launch!

When I got to custom order on the website, all I get is standard shafts. I don’t see GD or any others

I was using other retailer websites

Don’t under sell the Miyazaki shafts. I think they have 4 models and do a little research on the profiles and many people would be shocked how good they are.

Tough crowd!

Srixon Drivers are up to speed with everything else out there, the thing I like most is the Traditional Shape, & sound. They perform as well as anything I've tested and I've tried about all of them. The ZX 5 is very forgiving, great ball flight and easy to hit. The ZX7 is slightly better performing for me but needs to be hit on the sweet spot to see any gain. Both are great looking heads that perform given you put a good swing on them. Instead of picking them apart I can find things I like about each one. Remember the USGA Speed limit, no conforming driver is going to produce magic because of the limitations put on them, once you reach the plataue it comes down to what suits your eye, currently no snake oil left with all the regulations.

It’s sooooo good. Same one I have. Launches high spins low and doesn’t go left like last years model.

I’ve never hit a Srixon driver but I think these look good and will definitely be one I test out.

Don't want to hijacker the thread, but does anyone have release info on the new irons ? 

[Kenner300]

Interestingly enough, hideki is using the normal zx5?

Lol - love my 230 but these are also very sexy. Thanks for the link, sir!

I’m afraid this might be a stupid question, but I’m gonna ask anyway. Are the shaft adapters for the ZK MKII drivers the same as a few models ago, such as the Z545 and Z745? I still play the Z545 and want to try out the ZK5 and ZK5 LS this spring when my local Edwin Watts has their demo day. If I like it, it would very convenient to just swap my current shaft into the new head. Any input is appreciated! Thanks, guys!

Looks like Shane Lowry opted for the normal zx5 mk2 also…I love that they created a low spin driver just for the tour pros to use the most forgiving one lol

SMH. Walked in today to demo the new drivers and walked out with the ZX5 LS 9.5 loft. If the results are as good on the course as it is on the LM, I'm going to order the 8.5 loft.

Found these in a golf store in Japan, wonder if they will release a LS model in different colours.

That ZX7 Diamond looks really pear shaped, would love to see how that looks at address.

[Sleeky_D]

Were the crown of these red/blue as well?

Correct the crowns were the same colour as the sole matte finish.

[Cactus Jack]

When will we start seeing reviews? I saw Crossfields take, but I was expecting lots to hit by now.

The head shape reminds me of the Cleveland Launcher 460 I gamed in the 2000's.  Always liked that shape at address. 

I thought the same.  Love that old Launcher shape compared to some of the newer face profiles and twist shape stuff.  Not saying the old works better for everyone, just looks good to me.

Posted this a few days back in one of the other srixon threads.

 

So my driver finally arrived today, zx5 MK2 10.5 stock hzrdus smoke RDX red 6.0.

 

 Initial thoughts compared to my cobra radspeed xb.

 

 

 

- the srixon face looks really small in comparison, the way the srixon crown rolls down to the face makes it look tiny, the cobra face wraps up to the crown and the srixon crown wraps down to the face it's quite a contrast side by side.

 

 

 

- the srixon is quite a bit shorter front to back than the radspeed xb and the rear of the driver is quite a bit higher too, the cobra rear of the cobra sits a lot lower to the ground.

 

 

 

- sound and feel wise I like the srixon a bit better but honestly wouldn't bother me either way, the srixon feels a little more solid.

 

 

 

- I like the look of the cobra from the top and the srixon from the bottom, the all titanium matt finish on top of the srixon looks a little bland I like the carbon look better, the bottom of the srixon looks really nice though very classy and premium looking.

 

 

 

Hopefully I'll get out over the weekend and give it a proper test on course only been hitting it into a net in my backyard so far.

 

 

 

I'll put some comparison pics up when I can.

[Ize]

Turns out it's really hard to take decent pics 

[mogc60]

Saw these in person today, wow!! The charcoal matte finish is beautiful and the heads just look perfect behind the ball. Honestly very gorgeous golf club. Fairway, hybrid and new ZX utility look amazing as well 

[Longdriver295]

I'm really loving the looks of these, Trying to decide if I should replace my cobra LTDx Max with the ZX5 MK 2. I'm thinking seriously about it even though my cobra is very good.
