Srixon ZX utility vs Titleist 505


VanTheMan0519

Recommended Posts

  • VanTheMan0519 changed the title to Srixon ZX utility vs Titleist 505

I have the ZX MkII 3 utility and really like it. The Srixon wins easily in the looks department at address. So much so that I’ve never bothered hitting the U505. 
 

I love Titleist irons and would be playing the T200 utility as my next choice, but Srixon really got this one right.

Similar for me but I have the last model of the zx. I like it so much I don’t even try other utility irons. It’s the best utility I’ve ever used and looks so good.

u505 won out for me at 20* w Hzrdus Black 6.0. I wanted to make the Srixon work with the F4 Recoil shaft but there was significant distance and consistency difference. Could be shaft related, I have the same Hzrdus shaft in my Driver and 3W.

Can you quote your own?

 

It was bugging me, post cataract surgery and distance sight that now works unaided I changed by ZX 2UI to the same shaft as my irons from the Recoil. Difference is night and day. It gaps well to my 5i (23 degrees) and to my 3W, which I use more off the deck. A vote change for Srixon!

I have a ZX Utility 3 iron with recoil F4 and while I like the club I do feel the shaft is holding it back big time for me. Will probably sell it eventually as the cost to reshaft it probably isn't worth it for me.

I feel the same about the shaft for the zxu.  I tested some DI’s today and the u505 was impressive on ball speed.  Zxu had a hard time keeping up, but I really think it was the shaft as well.  Would be interested to test the zxu with a different shaft but they are hard to find.  Every one I find close to me is with the recoil.  U505 had hzrdus black, which is not my favorite, but it works really well as a utility iron shaft.

Tried the U505 2 iron with the stock HZRDUS and still have the ZXU 3 iron with the stock Recoil.

Hated how the U505 felt off the face and how it looked at address. ZXU felt much hotter off the face and looked much better at address. Only goes in the bag for the short courses. Off the tee it is almost as long as my fairway wood with the roll out.

I hit the U505 at a demo day. Didn’t like the look of it or the feel.

 

I’ve had several of the Srixon utility irons. The U65 was better than the U85 imo. The ZX7 is a little bit better than the U65. I sold the U85 and have both the U65 and ZX7. I ordered them with the same shaft that’s in my irons. PX LZ 6.0
