    I have just purchased the zx4 mk2 irons 5 to pw. Courses have been closed so not hit them yet. Impiulse buy when I visited the pro shop to look at Wilson irons. Sale item at £699 with graphite shafts and multi-compound grips. As usual with golf the next best thing is always just around the corner. Zxi4 looks like it will be an improvement on the previous model based on your review. I’ll just have to accept that I got a bargain because the new version was about to launch. Thank you Mark for all that you do in the RUclips golf world. Exceptional.

      Hope you've been swinging on the range or sim while the courses have been closed. 5 years ago, i got fitted for a set of irons that were not right for me. Like you (possibly), due to weather, I don't play from October to March. I went in for a fitting (in February) after not swinging a club for 3-4 months because PXG had a huge sale going on. My swing was.... well.... very rusty... and was fitted for a "game improvement" iron set. When I started playing again regularly, I realized the set was not correct for my "real" swing. It's fun to start the golf season with new clubs..... but way better to be fitted for and playing with clubs appropriate for our game. Never again will I make that mistake again. Hopefully you did not make the same mistake I did.

    I'm in the zx4's 5-PW for two seasons now, got them for a good deal. Bought them off the rack with graphite shafts. had to add a little lead tape to get the swing weight right. Really solid clubs. The 5 iron is so effortless. Previous set was some very old Clevelend CG4's. Major improvement between the two.

  • @mrrobotnica
    @mrrobotnica 14 дней назад +1

    I have been using Zxi7’s 6-P with a Zxi4 5 iron since November, and they replaced my old Bridgestone CB 221’s. I also used a set of ZX5 Mk2’s up until the middle of last year. The ZXi7’s are just a cut above, even though the lofts are weaker than the ZX5, they both go pretty similar distances for me. But the feel on the ZXi7 is light years ahead of the ZX5 mk2. I’m a 20 handicap with a porous short game but lots of range time.

    Been playing Srixon for years and find myself upgrading every 2 year cycle. This year will be my first blended set. ZXi5 4 and 5 iron and ZXi7 6-PW. I haven't played a 4 iron in years. Pure impulse and looking forward to gaming these. As for some of the comments regarding price, Srixon in my opinion offers the largest customization than any other brand. For that reason, they are very reasonably priced. Their shaft options is off the charts for minimal upcharge. I am a bit nervous playing blended, but seems to be the trend.

    @golfbbqandwatches 15 дней назад +1

    The Srixon irons still represent good value when compared to the big brands (Titleist, TM, Callaway). Still a top quality product. The latest Titleist irons go for $329 AUD per club, and the Srixons are $269 AUD per club. Across a set with wedges this is hundreds of dollars less. I’m keen to squeeze a few more years out of my 718 AP2s but a blended set of Srixons is high on my list to try. I’m thinking a 4 iron in the i4, 5-7 iron in the i5 and 8-PW in the i7. Love how seamless it is to blend all 3 models.

    • @adg69
      @adg69 14 дней назад

  • @Station2Station-du2gh
    @Station2Station-du2gh 8 дней назад

    As someone who played ZX7 last year (coming from MP221 blades the year prior) and was interested in the zxi7, the OFFSET continues to be a problem (my miss is overcooking a draw). The ZXi7 have more offset than the P7CB, P7MC, T100, Cobra King, Mizuno S-3, PING BP-S, Apex CB, etc... I weakened my zx7 mkII 1° mid-season last year to get some of that offset out of my visual - but they went higher than I would have preferred due to mass being extremely low in the head. I was hoping for two things with the ZXi series - MORE spin, and less offset. We got neither (and in fact there is more offset in the zxi7 6, 5, 4 than last year). Also, many reviews stating they launch higher than the last mkII model. This math doesn't work for me and I'm not changing shafts. Grrrr.

    I’m a long time Srixon player, I’ve always said that Srixon irons was highly underrated for a very long time. The 7zx mark II is a great feeling iron. I’m looking forward to getting fit the end of the month for 5zxi and 7zxi. The 7zx II gap wedge (A) is a spin monster. Would the Z forged PW and 9 be a very high spin?

    I play the original zx7s , only irons i ever played they are what i got fitted for my 1st year of golf , im entering my 5th season of golf here in canada. For me to get a new iron they would have to be from out of this planet. The 7th round i ever played in my life i broke 80 at a city course from 6500yrds . I should be scratch or better come mid season here , irons are the best part of my game , i did change shafts from original fitting from accra graphite to oban steel 125s ..if i got new irons id probably just put them on my current shafts but to change my set up i have now anytime soon is highly unlikely.... i am 5i to pw ( im lefty) so i hope the made zxi7 made an A wedge for leffties , my 50 degree is a mizuno t22 as all my wedges are mizuno t22, my 4hb and 5w are original ZX , 3 wood is mizuno st titanium , driver is ping g430 max which might change need to lower spin

    I was told that the new ZXi irons have wider soles across the board for all three models compared to the ZX mkii irons. Can you confirm that this is the case? The dimension charts even show that the new ZXi7 has a wider sole (18.9mm for 7i) than the ZX5 mkii (17.6mm for 7i). This seems odd to me so hopefully you can shed some light on this.

  • @Boovda
    @Boovda 15 дней назад

    Pretty sure I've read that the top line of the ZXi4 isn't thicker than the others, it just has slightly more offset and longer blade length, the idea being that the top line is the same across all three clubs so they blend very easily

    I found the zx5 launched slightly higher and spun slightly more than the zx7 (with matched lofts), hence the 4i in the zx5 (to squeeze an extra couple of yards). Do you think the zxi’s are the same in this regard?

      For me, the V Sole is a panacea! Unlike most claims from club OEMs re their “new tech”, the V Sole makes a significant difference. It gives me the necessary swing confidence to go for the pin. I can’t imagine playing irons without this SRIXON innovation.

      Probably as long as Titleist, Ping, Callaway, and Mizuno control most of the popular iron share. Srixon will still be underrated.
      I personally went budget before getting a gifted pro fitting. Loved the ZX5 so much. I almost bought those as well. But I chose to stick with my gamers for now. On the advice of the fitter. Now that the new ZXi5's are out. Things might change.
