re: Srixon ZX4 irons

I think people are definitely pulling back a little on the strong, crazy lofts with hot faces. You're seeing less money and marketing toward the lines that get released with the drivers (Epic/Maverik/etc) and carry the same names. For one, people are becoming more informed and also, like your situation where a club that is meant to go a certain number flies an extra 15 yards because you hit it "perfectly" that one time out of 10. So you flush one, feel great about the swing and strike, but you're over the green and short sided.
