SRIXON ZX5 ZX7 IRONS BLENDING JUST GOT SMOOTHER

[@michaellepatourel2148]

Yes please a WITB is always good, especially when you talk about why each club is in there

[@cstridbeck]

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!

[@cwugrad396]

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

[@sammindlin2132]

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!

[@marke8006]

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 👍⛳️

[@michaelwilliamson3737]

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.

[@stephprime]

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!

[@uwrossl]

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.

[@papab3272]

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.

[@shaggy4344]

I have a set of Z 765 and absolutely love them srixon are definitely massively underrated

[@blackirishlad]

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.

[@reptileroomsolutions]

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

[@NDW7]

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!

[@bigdogtak19]

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,

[@MrCannonls]

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.

[@rickrisatti6029]

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...

[@mindful1860]

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

[@buddhavb3616]

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.

[@chrisrazzle4761]

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

[@michaeltotten5767]

Currently play the Z585s. Great irons. Loving the cleaner look of the ZX5s. May have to make a change!

[@SuburbanConan]

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.

[@TheRichardgrime]

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!

[@andrewrudzinski5653]

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.

[@donniemcdermid4597]

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!!!

[@allenwood5411]

WITB videos are my guilty pleasure...! Can't wait 😁

[@williamcallaway2228]

Really thoughtful presentation and holistic look at golf club differences outside of just the metrics.

[@sirtogii5216]

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 :-)

[@ww-oo7ic]

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.

[@paulrodgers574]

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

[@kevinstanley5945]

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!"

[@MrGroovergeorge]

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.

[@kevochanner8859]

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.

[@njohnson7359]

Love my Z585's from 2018/19. No need to upgrade yet though.

[@ChrisM-rn8bh]

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.

[@devinwright131]

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.

[@S.forbes]

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.

[@peterpedersen8398]

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

[@paulk3198]

currently gaming combo set of z585 4,5,6 and z785 7,8,9,P - love them

[@scottbrandon4855]

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......

[@Dbarts76]

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

[@garyabblett3128]

I have Srixon Z585 Irons, love them, the best Irons I've ever had, will definitely try the ZX5's

[@derikgoulet2063]

the reason i got my current srixon irons was how blendable they are they do that better than anyone imo

[@brianr7471]

I game 765s 4-pw. Love them. Sound/feel. They replace callaway steahead car pro irons. Couldn’t be happier

[@jgalvan341]

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).

[@ronaldrogers8743]

What shaft did you go wit

[@leebeaver1358]

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

[@aaroncraig8237]

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.

[@aaronnimz3807]

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.

[@neubauercarsten]

Still loving my 745s (black)! However: some time has passed. Would you recommend to upgrade?

[@MegaJoeytube]

These irons look great and they have got the naming right. Simple clean and easy to know what iron range does what.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Agreed.

[@allant.9152]

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!

[@camshan6873]

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.

[@andrewgort8067]

That was a very good explanation of the launch conditions and then selection of club design/selection. Very enlightening!

[@peterhammer6915]

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.

[@shanedickenson9775]

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.

[@lancesedevie548]

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.

[@michaelweaver5708]

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!

[@ryanhitchen4014]

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

[@MrWojtok]

Still playing Z745/Z545 combo Very excited to test zx7 and zx5 to replace

[@danmoore9143]

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.

[@timdavies1680]

Got fit last Monday for the ZX5. Final 2 clubs was the ZX5 and the Mizuno JPX921 Forged, the ZX5’s felt better and performed better then the Mizuno’s. Mark why do you play a yellow ball?

[@hauxon]

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.

[@dar2350]

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.

[@conorgreen3384]

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

[@douglyons206]

Still play my z965s but the zx7s got me thinkin

[@cace81]

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.

[@duncanhamilton3286]

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!

[@paulharrison5584]

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

[@chriswebster3698]

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.👍

[@davehumphries8664]

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.

[@ryanrichardson9915]

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.

[@colinboxall2692]

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.

[@michaelparsons541]

Mark, I would like to hear your thoughts on the shaft options for these 2 irons. If you do a combo set, should you keep the same shafts throughout, or should you mix that up too. I just ordered 4-5 in ZX5 and 6-P in ZX7, with Modus3-120-S. However, I was wondering if the Modus3-105 would've been better in the 4-5 ZX5.

[@pisces010365]

Just ordered a set of ZX5 and ZX4 blended. Great info Mark

[@gideonvanzyl4377]

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.

[@bearcat0]

I’d be interested for that feedback mate :)

[@jaybower5038]

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.

Played Z785 all last year. Currently playing Z785 in 5 iron and Z Forged in 6-PW. Curious if the ZX7 brings the spin up any over the 785s as that was literally my only complaint.

[@joeperez3520]

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.

[@kdahli84]

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.

[@pudelpointer22]

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.

[@chrisfield3161]

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.

[@chrisfield3161]

@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.

[@billybastar4022]

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?

[@CosmicApe]

I ordered a custom set of Z-Forged from Srixon maybe ~1 year ago now. I had them adjust the lofts and lies slightly with their custom department. The clubs came completely out of whack, the lengths didn't even progress evenly (some were super long/shot, others had the same length as each other like a 7/6/5 were basically the same length), hosels were bent a ton... I was shocked by the poor quality and had to send the back. I've since not ordered from Srixon again and very apprehensive to do so... I hope they've improved because they're irons are tempting to try.

[@tomduckworth8335]

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.

habs 76 nope. All those remained the stained. Reguardless, a 34 7 iron shouldn’t spin (for me) in the 4000s

[@habs7646]

@@brandoncjgrimes well the 785s have 32 degrees, anyways spin is not important. you lose 80% of the spin once it lands on the green, descend angle over 45 degrees is the most important factor

[@brandoncjgrimes]

@@habs7646 right. i understand. got to factor in launch angle and descent angle like you mentioned. When I was testing at the time, the older 718 AP2's had better numbers for me back then. maybe things will change once I'm ready for a new set as im looking for a blended set.

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

Currently gaming 4-9I Z585. I tested Z785, P790, JPX 919, i500, i210, and Apex. My most common miss is a toe strike. I found Srixon irons provided more consistent distance even with toe hits, while allowing me to feel that I hit it poorly. Z785 was a bit too workable for me to control on the 4-6 irons. I did not like the Z585 PW it flew too far only ~6 yards shorter than the 9I and was very bulky for green side shots. I ended up getting a 46 degree mid bounce Cleveland RTX-4 to replace the set PW. It blended well with my 50, 54, & 58 RTX-4 wedges and 9I.

A good look into how and where tech can/does make a difference. Food for thought. Thanks Mark.

Was fitted yesterday ended up with zx5s with Nippon ns pro 950 shafts. Magic combo for me. I play to a 5-7 hcd coming from xforged irons from 2014. Looking forward to season starting to wonder if I should have considered 8-pw as zx7s but worried about a gap like you said is common.

I'm looking for a good set of cavity irons. Currently play a set of mp-18 mb but the shafts starting to become too soft and too light and I think blade is just too hard to play. Srixon zx7 with the modus 3 x seems like a really good option

[@stevewilson594]

Really enjoyed your review. I’m having a fitting this week and will consider blending the sets.

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. 👍⛳😁
