Tell me about the zx5's. Why should I buy them and should I look at the 7's instead.

I have yet to meet a Srixon snob... we just love our sticks.


I haven’t hit the new line yet but I have the 585 and have hit the 785 and could game either. I went with the 5 series to give me a little more forgiveness on my off days. Can’t go wrong with either, imo.

I switched from PXGs to zx5s at the recommendation of this board. Probably the best equipment decision I have ever made.

IMO they're better in all categories but my favorite thing is the sound. There is this snap when you hit it flush that gives me teh feelz.

5s more forgiving
7s more workable.

It comes down to what works for you. I thought for surprise would be playing the 7s, but the 5s fit me batter.

Buy the 5’s for reliably straight ball flights and a clean appearance down at the ball. Look at the 7’s for sure. I did a combo set with 4, 5, and 6 in the ZX5’s, and sometimes I wish I would have gotten a ZX7 6 iron.

Srixon ZX is an underrated iron. But be careful, they’r not for everyone. The V sole is really designed for a specific player and it def doesn’t work for everyone. I’m a steep player which these soles were supposed to be good for and the results were mixed. They do feel great and the zx7 is great at address. That’s probably the only one I’d personally play. The only reason you should buy them is because they’re fitted right for you.

i have the 785 short irons/ 585 long irons mixed bag and love them. 585 are definitely more forgiving but it hard to beat the feel when you hit it pure with the 785.

Find a Club Champion type of outfit that has every head and shaft options currently available fo all manufacturers. I gave up on trying to play my Mizuno MP-52s because I don’t have the swing/game for that type of Iron. I went to Club Champion with an open mind but I was leaning towards a Mizuno JPX or Pings. After hitting everything possible the best fit for me was the ZX5s

I have both. Do a blended set. Do 4-6 ZX5, 7-aw ZX7. Love them.

ZX7s were a game changer for me. I feel like I am cheating playing with them they are so forgiving. I thought the affection for Srixon clubs was a little weird until I hit them. I’m okay with being weird if it means playing a club I love.

I am not a snob. I think if anything others are snobbish to us.
