Riddle me this - Overdrawing the ball

I have two sets of irons. Both have stiff flex shafts that are comparable (one is 5 grams lighter but a little longer). Both shafts comp each other in terms of bend profile. Both shafts have standard sized Golf Pride grips.
One set is in a set of Srixon ZXi4 (more offset) irons and the other is in a set of Mizuno MP225 (less offset). I'll hit shots switching irons between every 2 or 3 balls and the MP225 gives me about 10-20 yard draw throughout the bag. Srixons on the other hand start right and end right but fly with less curvature despite more offset.
Help this make sense to me.

That ZXi4 is more forgiving.

I'm under the impression that forgiveness is a distance metric, no? Both irons carry similar distances. I can draw the Srixon with ease as well but I can also just hit it straight.

I had the Z565s or 545s I can’t remember. I started hooking them hard.
When I got my 699 pros (think P790s) first swing out the bag, I thought I had hooked one in the water. It was so bad, I stopped watching and started cursing. My ball was on the left side of the green.
It’s a more forgiving club. I have learned to work them left, but they want to go straight. Give me a forged irons and I’ll sling that thing as far right as you want.

Lie angle could be more upright on the Zunos. My last set of JPXs were too upright for me an I hooked them. Had the lie adjusted flatter and it straightened me right out. Still my favorite set that I ever owned.
Could be more heel weighted as well,
Just spitballing…
