- Srixon ZX5 ZX7 irons reviewed and tested by Mark Crossfield. Blending has just got smoother from Srixon golf in the new range of ZX irons. Mark tests the new Srixon golf ZX5 and ZX7 irons on the golf course and inside using GCQuad for ball data to explain what these new Srixon golf irons could do for your golf game. The ZX5 Srixon iron is the slightly bigger of the two iron where the ZX7 offers that slightly more tour look and style. Both iron feel and look from the top line very similar and could be blended to match your launch angles and distance requirements. Srixon golf iron have been used on world tours for years and have proven popular among club golfers, have you ever tested Srixon golf clubs and if so what did you make of them.

Yes please a WITB is always good, especially when you talk about why each club is in there
Great points about getting fit for each iron in a set. As a pro, the manufacturers only give me 7 irons to compare. There is a very big difference with longer irons and blended sets are key. Just need the manufactures to give us more irons like maybe a 9 and a 5 to paint a better picture. Great video!
Yes I was going to say something similar but from the side of the buyer. When I get fitted for iron sets it’s only the 7 iron I can try. Obviously Drivers, Fairway woods, Hybrids & Wedges are available in different specs. So from my point of view I could never try differences in the irons unless I buy several different sets. Good review though Mark 👍⛳️
My course had a full demo set and that influenced my purchase decision massively. Manufacturers need to start offering a couple of irons for people to test.
They look great. Glad Srixon tightened up the names of driver and irons and I love that the ZX makes me think of those bad ass Kawasaki Ninjas
Srixon Irons are maybe the most underrated irons out there. The are really awesome! Furthermore, the pricepoint ist just great.
Love the 585 and 785 series!
Hands down... This is the best video I have seen from you. So informative, so good with your views on gaps, feel, look, preformance and blending models and what to think about in that. Thank you!
785s will stay in my bag. It's been over a year since getting fit and putting them in the bag and the honeymoon phase hasn't worn off. Great set of irons.
I have a set of Z 765 and absolutely love them srixon are definitely massively underrated
Play the Z785 in 4-PW and absolutely love them. As a high ball hitter thank you Mark for helping me understand why I struggled with the Z585 in the long irons. I assumed the benefit was more forgiveness side to side but never saw that, only a higher flight and a little more distance. Not to knock the new Z7's but I think the 785's look better. The Z7's have more of an old Z-TX look to me.
Went for an iron fitting with a srixon set today. He was very much pro blend and did recommend a driving iron 4, zx5 5-6, zx7 7-9, with a forged wedges or stepping over to Cleveland wedges. Great clubs, just waiting on price to see. Currently game M2 taylormades and the srixons give me the ball flight I am after and the difference being fit for shafts also means I won't sacrifice the distance I get from the more forgiving M2 set
Great fitting today with local pro (Howard Bonaccorsi). Great fun, really enjoyed seeing how head and shaft combinations make such a difference to performance. Tried Srixon ZX5, Titleist T200, Mizuno JPX921 Forged, Cobra King Tour MIM and TaylorMade P770. Hands down winner for me on looks, feel and performance was Srixon ZX5 with Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 shaft. Closest to that was Titleist T200 (very nice looking and performing) but Srixon edged it for me. Well worth a fitting, loved it!
I didn't play for 20 years and only played social as a kid,coming back 4 years ago with a set of Srixon Z565's. Only alterations were 10 paper grips and stiff shafts to the woods. My handicap was set at 28.
Later I bought a set of Z765's, which are still new in plastic. Last year I emptied my win accounts at the club and bought the ZX5's, which are also still new in the plastic.
I just can't quit the 565's.I only use Srixon balls too, from Distance to AD333 and Ultisoft. Recently bought a dozen Soft Feel Lady balls but haven't hit one yet.
I now play off 8 and haven't had a lesson in my life. I just found a set which clicked from the get go and have experimented with the balls to improve distance and spin. If it isn't broken don't fix it I guess.
It's nice to know if I need a change the other clubs are there, but I think it improves me as a player to lower the scores round after round with the same gear, rather than chasing fads or marketing campaigns.Personally think the 565's are the McLaren F1 of golf clubs. Everything after is just an imitation.
I did test them about 3 months ago. Enjoyed the feel, but wasn't blown away. Going to test them again soon. I love the look of the iron and want them to work, but definitely won't force the issue if I'm not getting anything out of them during the next test. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Got fitted 6 months ago. Tried all the major brands and loved the Srixon. So now I have zx5 from p-7 and have zx4 for 6i that the factory weakened the loft on to help blend in with the zx5’s.
Just bought a blended set 5&6 in zx5 and zx7 in 7thru pw. Probably one of the best irons I've ever owned. I was fitted so they are perfect! I was using the Adams cb3 for years,
Hi Mark, My bag is all Srixon right down to the putter, I have a ZX7 driver, F85 15deg 3 wood 19 deg rescue mizuno have had it a long time and like it so it's allowed to stay in Ha ha, 22deg rescue 565 4 iron 5,6,7, 765, and pw, 9, 8, 965 , like you find the looks and feel excellent, play a z star ball and do monitor with my swing caddy sc300 which is about all i can afford, am a new subscriber to your channel and love your content
Paul
785/585 combo 4-PW for 2 years now. Love them. Although I first had a 785 5 iron and have since moved to the 585 5 iron which has been an excellent decision.
Yeah I did the same but with the 65 series. Swapped my 765 - 5 iron for a 565 - 5 iron getting alot better launch with it.
Yes, I played a blended set of 765's/565's..foolishly went to p790s...Going back to srixon as soon as these come out...
I'm in the market for a new set and couldn't help but notice your comment here. Both the srixon zx5 and taylormade p790 appeal to me but I'm curious why you said that about switching back to srixon from taylormade. Why
Great video Mark, this kind of content is so useful for someone trying to decide between sets by the same manufacturer. As you highlighted grinding away on a launch monitor often just fuels confirmation bias
Really thoughtful presentation and holistic look at golf club differences outside of just the metrics.
I play a 745/545/U45 combo set U45 4ion 545 5-7 745 8-P. I bought a set of PXG's that just sit in my closet because I absolutely love the turf forgiveness of the soles on Srixon irons. Only thing is and this isn't a criticism depending who you are you may be looking for this, they are FAST! I mean EXTREMELY FAST! I am taking lessons after 4 months off with an ankle injury so once I'm a bit more dialed I will regap them as I suspect I will need to weaken the lofts a couple degrees.
Currently playing srixon z745 have done for last 2 years and came down 4 shots in handicap previously was using cleveland cg7 tour irons and changed to srixon and never looked back!!!
Had the Srixon 585 6 years ago. Loved them. Beginning last year tried for more consistency, and chose the Titleist 200. More distance, but hear so much about the Srixon Zx5 mark ii. Wonder if they are better than my Titleist 200.
These irons look great and they have got the naming right. Simple clean and easy to know what iron range does what.
Agreed.
Currently play the Z585s. Great irons. Loving the cleaner look of the ZX5s. May have to make a change!
Mark, I really do enjoy your videos, particularly your instructional videos. No one is better imho, but... you are not gaining subscribers. Why not?
Look at others and don’t be too proud to adapt. I only suggest this as a supporter of your channel, and someone who wishes you well.
Love your channel. Mat is great too. Massive asset!
ZX7s beat out p770 and JPX921 Forged for me; can't wait to get them. I have to say, I could happily play any of the heads I tried. All fantastic irons.
I game 4,5,6 Srixon U85, 7&8 585 and 9&P 785. Cleveland RTX4 50,56&60
Blending the set has helped me enormously although in my head I wanted a full set of 785’s the fitting from Srixon was bang on point. Also the Recoil shafts in all irons bar the wedges made a lot of difference. Great feel across all of the clubs and not too strong which many manufacturers seem to be nowadays. Previously had a full set of 765’s and the new blended solution is a far better overall solution.
Highly recommended......
the reason i got my current srixon irons was how blendable they are they do that better than anyone imo
Great video Mark. I switched to Srixon irons this season, previously playing Mizuno JPX 900 forged. Felt my ball striking had improved to step up in my irons. Tested AP2/T100, MP20 MMC, and the Srixon 785s. Never considered Srixon in the past and was blown away with the results. What sold me was the Tour V sole and the turf interaction was amazing. Got fit into 585 4 and 5 irons and 785 7 thru Pitch. Absolutely love them. Don't know that I'll ever go back to Mizuno now, that V sole has me "sold!"
I just read your comment and although it's 3 years old I am in the same situation. I'm gaming Mizuno JPX 900's presently but I have been testing a set of my Country Clubs Srixon ZX5's. What I have noticed is my shots are way more consistent and I hardly chunk them. Those V soles are amazing! I really don't want to give them back. I j guess I'm just going to have to wait until the Srixon fitting guy comes out in the nest week or so.
currently gaming combo set of z585 4,5,6 and z785 7,8,9,P - love them
Just had a club fitting had never hit a srixon club love the zx5. I hit Rad speed. sim max2. Maverick. T100 and the zx5 was the winner on feel look and number just have to wait for them to arrive now.
I was fitted this week. Tested most of the major brands, excluding ping, and walked away choosing the ZX5. I honestly have never tried Srixon, and didn't know about the ZX7. ZX5 was amazing performance-wise. Look was good, forgiveness subperb, distance was solid, not great. Couldn't beat the dispersion though. Great feel as well.
I told my fitter I hated offset. Not sure if that's why we didn't try Ping.
This video helped me get over my big brand bias. I got fitted yesterday and wound up with a combo zx5/zx7 set over all the big brands I hit. If you are getting fitted, give these a go. They earned my support based on objective data (and amazing feel).
What shaft did you go wit
The ZX5 is so much closer feel to the ZX7 than the previous Srixon models. Not so much of a jump in distance between them as well. I tried them last night with the new Nippon Neo shaft, normally I'm a Modus 120/130 but the ball flight and control with the Neo was so much better.
Having used previous Srixon models these are the best they have produced for me by quite a long way!
About 10 years ago I blended a mizuno set with the most series. 3 to 6 with the muscle backs with 7 to gap wedge as blades. Gave me confidence on the long iron and great feel in the scoring clubs.
I game the z585 irons and in my opinion srixon irons are massively underrated I love the feel and look and overall I brilliant club
They are Endo Forged, which if you are familiar with Endo, you'll know that is the premier forging house in the world. I have a combo set of 5, 7, and ZX Utilities. Absolutly my favorite set of irons ever.
You do a great job at explaining and helping us viewers learn more about the game and product. You definitely have intrigued me to look at these irons. Currently playing with snake eyes 600c irons. It might be time to get some new irons.
Love my Z585's from 2018/19. No need to upgrade yet though.
Spot on. Really interesting that you've shone the light on the "help" that is in fact launch and not the off centre hits. The data sample you provided between blades and cavity back clubs before was mind blowing and against everything the industry has told us. Only caveat maybe that your off centre hits are way more centre than mine :-)
Anyone else think of "Lockey Out" when Mark plays the par 4 @ 10:35? I hope that's the correct hole. That was a classic moment in golf history.
Hi, interested in seeing New in the Bag when it’s out. Have just tested a heap of irons and Found the Srixons suited me best. Great that the pro suggested 5-7 in ZX5 with 8-PW in ZX7. That was before I found your site so it’s good that some pros are talking blended sets. Cheers PP
First impression is they look so much better than the previous generation. I play Z565s and honestly I bought them for performance more than looks the ZX5s look so much better than 565s and 585s and blend nicer with the ZX7s. I really wanted a blended set and let the fitter talk me out of it because he thought it would be too hard to blend. Now these make me want a new set of ZX5/ZX7. Damm now I’m having equipment lust again.
haven't seen the new ones live yet, but what I saw in this video, I like the older gen more
Blended sets are definitely the way to go, but the issue is even with say Titleist newest range, they don’t blend well without manipulation, just got fit and fitter advised me not to blend due to my “awareness” of my previous blend point 7iron AP2 - 6 iron AP3, ideally I was looking for a T100s - T200 blended set but ended with a full set of T200 after taking advice. This srixon range seems to be a company’s best attempt to properly allow the blend option.
Just got fitted last week and selected the ZX5’s. Love the look and feel, and got the tightest dispersion of all the clubs I tested. To your point, they only had 6-iron available for all of the club/shaft combinations, so looking forward to hitting the others and fingers crossed the investment pays off.
What handicap you off jay if you don’t mind me asking? I’m a 12 and not sure if these will be to “bladed” for me
@@niallsalmon7502 I'm a 15 and zx5 are perfect.
Great review on the two irons . I’ve been up in the air on what one will suit me . This has helped a lot thanks
Currently gaming the z745 & z945 combo set. Have been playing these irons for 4-5 years love srixon irons. Can’t wait to see the new series in person. May be time to upgrade into the new series. Thinking a blended set of zx5’s at the top and zx7’s for the lower irons.
Absolutely LOVE what Srixon has done over the last 7 to 10 years with their equipment, especially the irons. I think the Z-Forged were the most beautiful irons they've ever created. Still regret ever selling my 745 irons. I think the ZX5 is a massive improvement in looks vs the Z585 but, conversely, I don't love the looks of the ZX7 compared to the Z785. By no means are they ugly but just an interesting visual change. That said, I think the end result for those who game/demo these will be exactly the same - amazing feel and consistent yardages.
I love my Srixons. Have 2-iron and 4-iron ZU:s, 5 -7 Z585 and 8-PW Z785. The gap between 8 and 7 is quite big but its not a big issue. And have Recoil-shafts, they are great.
I still think the z965 is one of the most aesthetically pleasing clubs I have ever seen. I bought a set of mavrik's in may but still think i should have just got the srixons
Still play my z965s but the zx7s got me thinkin
I love a nose in other golfers’ bags so a WITB is a definite winner! I love the idea of blending a set but, pre-enlightenment, I invested in a set of JPX 919 Hot Metal irons. I’ve noticed, after a limited amount of gap testing at a range that has toptracer (would also like to know how accurate all data is with range balls, even with the normalised function is on) that I’ve got quite a gap between my PW and 9 iron distances (there’s a 5 degree gap between each club between PW and 7 iron). I’ve either got to get better at hitting a soft 9/VVV hard PW, potentially invest in different higher lofted irons, or, ideally, both!
7 iron loft zx5 31 degrees zx7 32 degrees. 9 iron zx5 39 degrees vs 41 degrees in zx7. There’s the small difference. I won’t even touch the difference in shafts modus 120 vs 105😉. Gamed ping I series for years. Love my srixon 585.
Started with z545, moved onto them from mizuno, currently gaming 585. Absolutely love srixon irons, always had mizuno or taylormade, Callaway or Titleist, but tried srixon z545 when they first came out, and never looked back
That was a very good explanation of the launch conditions and then selection of club design/selection. Very enlightening!
Would love to see a "full bag" fitting. When buying clubs, most places will only have a 7 Iron head that can be used with a variety of shafts. If the store had a copy of every head from every model of 's clubs for fitting purposes, the fitting cart would have to be a fitting VAN!!!
One (and only one) of the PGA TOUR Superstores here in the Myrtle Beach area offers a "Tour Van Fitting," where every club in your bag will be evaluated, and if necessary, altered, in order to tighten up any gaps in yardages. Not cheap though, at $500, but I imagine that you don't leave unhappy.
Great video, thank you. I've recently bought a set of Titleist T300, and when I started lessons, the new pro had me hit a couple of these just to compare. I really liked them, found the ZX5 a bit easier to hit than the 7, but he suggested we do a full fitting and maybe blend accordingly. So this video is exactly what I was looking for. I'll add some feedback once I've had the full fitting.
I’d be interested for that feedback mate :)
I game 765s 4-pw. Love them. Sound/feel. They replace callaway steahead car pro irons. Couldn’t be happier
WITB videos are my guilty pleasure...! Can't wait 😁
These will be going in the bag very soon. ZX5 from 6 thru 8, the ZX7 for the 9 and PW, both 2 degrees strong to match the lofts on the 5's. The new utlity #4 up top, and 4 new Zipcores at the bottom, and I'm very much looking forward to the coming season.
@EJ Hernandez it's a great combo. Brilliant irons srixon produced with these sets. But they're so alike to look down on I forget they're different. To be honest, I don't think most would notice the difference, changing from the 5 to the 7. Not sure you'd need to change.
I have Srixon Z585 Irons, love them, the best Irons I've ever had, will definitely try the ZX5's
Love my z785 ‘s. It came downtown JPX919 tours or the z785s and the 785 won out on consistency. Do t think I’ll be changing any time soon as these are the best irons I’ve gamed. Good stuff Crossy!
Purchased T100 ts irons thru to pw. No massive gains little change over AP2 718 but went for a different shaft. Stopped at 5 iron as can move to hybrid just more consistent when I need it for the 180 plus shots.
Still waiting for the US launch. Come on Srixon! Currently playing Bridgestone J36 Blades (2008) looking to update soon. The Srixon ZX7 is now on the short list for testing (Ping, Mizuno and Srixon). Definitely enjoying the "What's in the bag" videos too.
As always thanks for the great videos Mark.👍
This was really excellent. Very thorough and honest. Thoughts on the industry trend towards getting fit for individual clubs was very interesting, and I think probably correct! Thanks.
I like the Zx7 as it looks nicer than the zx5. Better top line and look on both sides. Would love to game the zx7's look like a lovely iron and am looking for feel more and control as I lower my handicap from 6. Good video as well, thanks mark
New Srixon’s are looking great. Play a combi set currently (cobra forged mb/cb) but there are very few places you can get fit and try more than just the 7i. Even at OEM’s fitting days or performance centre rarely have other irons to try so always a leap of faith on where to blend.
I play Srixon irons. Combo set. I wanted mizuno, didn’t like the feel. Tried everything, srixon was the best. I’ll game these for another year. I’m going to make some swing changes and next year take a look at a new set. Srixon will always be a consideration. They make quality irons.
I love srixon irons, but not interested in Cleveland, xxio, srixon as a whole beside their irons
I’ve just come out of a fitting with a full bag of ZX5 from driver to PW and the Zipcore wedges having outperformed all other clubs which really surprised me as I went in wanting Taylormade
I am a Srixon iron player, I have had Z785, tried the ZX7 but after having major surgery earlier this year I needed more help with distance and have settled on ZX5 6-PW, srixon make great clubs, great feel and even better price, great vfm.
Got the z785s in the bag best irons I've ever had
Definitely want to see WITB. I got fitted into a set of 785 and loved them. Unfortunately, I fell victim to wanting a little more pop and wanting to buy the shiny new thing on the block and I swapped them for Apex pros. I still have the 785 heads and eventually will save up to get them built up again because I really do liked them.
Another great and honest test. I am looking at replacing my old AP2 2016 irons and will be looking for a fitting with the Srizon 5
Still gaming the Z545. I only play 6 - GW due to my limited ball speed. I actually tried the 565 and 585 but preferred my Z545’s.
The new ZX5 looks like a perfect replacement for my Z545’s, I’ll certainly be testing them.
I had my heart set on srixon z785 just found them quite long in blade length, tried z forged and loved them. I’m moving away from blades at the moment so didn’t get them and have just ordered ping i210. Do love srixon clubs if only I had waited these night of been the fit for me
Ordered at combo set of ZX5 and ZX7. Love Srixon irons
Hey Mark, I am happy to hear you golfers in the UK can play outdoors again! I liked this review a ton, in fact watched it a couple of times. When you showed the top lines of these irons the first time I watched I thought man those are thickish from the angle you showed. But when I saw them at the store, they did not look as thick like in your video, in fact they were pretty close to the 929 tours. I was very impressed them after I hit them. I am debating which ones to go with, combo ZX7-ZX5 or MP-20 JPX tour, mainly because I’m a lefty and never had the chance to play Mizuno...never ever available in the past. Any parting thoughts?
Great videos as always. Just returned home From a professional fitting. Really had a ton of interest in the Mizuno line With interest in the HMB line specifically. I am a 13 handicap. Left the studio with Srixon ZX-7 in W-6iron ordered. I found it interesting that I hit the ZX7 slightly better than the ZX5. Not particularly sure why, I just kept coming back to that club. It is very soft and yet
Plenty long. I play hybrids Titleist TS2 line, 23 and 18 and added 25 deg. today to replace five iron. I am super interested in trying that six iron launcher you speak about. Of interest, my fitting pro says he’s been having a lot of people end up in Srixon ZX5/7 after being handed them in a fitting session.
Just ordered a set of ZX5 and ZX4 blended. Great info Mark
I have a blended 585/785 set right now. I will be moving to an all ZX5 set next 5-PW. Just like the looks of them and as I age I want to capitalize on any extra help.
I tested them they both are very good clubs. I bent the zx7 to the same loft as the zx5. even at the same loft zx5 consistently gave me faster ball speed. For me it resulted in almost 8-10 yards difference in distance, slightly higher launch. I have higher swing speed (120 mph driver) so those with average speeds i'd guess would pick up 5 yards compared to an iron that doesnt have high COR face. I chose the zx7's because out on the course the zx5 sole being wider just didn't quite work for me. I felt it was too difficult to get the leading edge under the ball compared to the more narrow zx7. If you have a steeper swing then zx5's would be a great choice.
Just bought Z585 and looking forward to get the zx5.... plus ZX driver and woods!!
I've been playing a set (P-5) of Z565 for the last two years and absolutely love them. Really good balance of good feel and forgiveness. I did some thought on blending (Z765 for PW-8) but didn't. Looking back I don't regret and would probably not blend if buying a set of ZX5 today, and if so I would only blend P (and A) ZX7 into the set.
A good look into how and where tech can/does make a difference. Food for thought. Thanks Mark.
I’ve had the 565/765 for a while now. I think I’ll be giving these a go 👍🏻
Still playing Z745/Z545 combo
Very excited to test zx7 and zx5 to replace
They do sound great Mark, really great looking sets of irons...another brilliant honest review with ideas for the folks out there for set ups
I think they are great clubs. I’m excited to test them out.
Yes to WITB. Great to hear your perspective on blending the set.
I'm looking for a new set of irons. How or who do you go to get fit for Individual irons?
srixon very underrated company I've got a blend set ZU85 4 iron Z585 5 & 6 iron and Z785 in 7 - Pw , fantastic clubs
Still got a set of I-506 irons, and I dont see anything new on the shelves to better them - well maybe the Z-forged irons, they are just soooooo beautiful. 👍⛳😁
Really enjoyed your review. I’m having a fitting this week and will consider blending the sets.
Been waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint, great stuff as always mate. Most of the guys I play with acknowledge Srixon are quality but it's just so blimmin hard to find somewhere to get fit for them. Srixon really need to up their game with getting their product out there imo. I'm certainly gonna keep an eye on their website for a local fitting day and try these out and intend to blend a set. The old mp53s I currently have now have competition.
Very helpful. It's my experience too Viz blending irons with hybrids etc and also testing clubs on course Vs off course. Also had many fittings and have been somewhat skeptical as a result partly for reasons you mentioned but also in some cases incentives and preferences some might have for particular clubs/brands or specific indicators (like swing weight). As a result I have over time worked out my own set and that includes shaft choices too.
I would defintely test these and I would also want to blend the set. Great video. I can't wait to try these irons.
I still game Mizuno MP H5 irons 5i - PW, MP H5 3i. Apex 18 hybrid, M2 3w and M2 Driver. Odyssey Stroke Lab Double Wide putter
Would love to see a videos of how you go thru a complete fitting and how you come up with your blended set.
In the bag coming soon.
Thanks Mark.
I'm currently in the market for new irons and will certainly adding these to the list.
I'll be interested in the price point considering how well priced the Z785/Z585 were.
🇦🇺🇬🇧👍
I have the 2iron u85 and the 565 irons, with cleveland wedges. I think i well get the srixon driver and 3 wood this year, to replace my mizuno st180. Srixon have performed very well for me, used to use mizuno through the bag, but srixon are cheaper in nz and perform just as good as mizuno
Once again, Srixon produces a beautiful iron
I’ve gone to the z785’s and absolutely love them, should’ve gone to srixon earlier.
