I really appreciate the slower clubhead speed examples. This makes the video much more relatable for a ton of golfers. Loving the new content coming online. Thank you!

I picked up the MkII ZX-5s and absolutely love them. They are easily the best irons I've hit.

and don't sleep on the mkII 5 wood, either. I took my 3 wood out of the bag when i got the 5.

Great review and very informative.

You have definitely climbed the ranking in one of my favorite golf focused KZreadrs keep it up

Thanks James appreciate that mate 🙌🙌👍👍

Another comprehensive video. Let me know once you have Srixon heads back and I will be down for iron fitting.

So glad to see Srixon in your stable now. Massively underrated clubs... Would love to see a T200 vx ZX5 comparison.

Agreed! I haven't come across someone making that comparison video!

Great review. I’m a slower swing speed player with a low handicap and am in the market to replace my irons. This really helps understanding the differences. Considering blending a set. Thank you! It would be great to see similar reviews of other manufacturers like Titleist and mizuno. Ric

I did a fitting in Aug 2023 and the ZX4 mkii and ZX5 mk ii were both in the mix of irons I tested. I wanted to leave with the ZX4s but with a 70-72 mph 7i speed, the fitter said he wouldn't put me in them because of the low ball flight (well under 70') and land angle being under 40*. I found the same thing here. ZX5 did the best for me that day out of all of the irons. It was amongst the longest for me and had the highest flight and best descent angle. Only iron that got consistently over 70' high for me. I ended up buying them but unfortunately their blade size on the course kinda scared me off and sold them right away which I regretted. I just needed more time to acclimate to the smaller size than what I am used to playing (came from Ping G425 irons) which I went back to. Now playing Callaway Smoke HL irons which launch even higher and go further than the ZX5's and have a little bit bigger head profile which I like

I've got a blended zx5&7 set. Love them!

Awesome hole in one !!

Great video! Was glad to watch the higher swing speed as I’m usually in the 93 mph with my 7 iron. I also play the Zx7 mk2. I debated between and the zx5 and zx7 as I was looking for the most “forgiving” club at my swing speed. I only picked the zx7 because my front to back dispersion was noticeably better while left to right remained about the same. I would catch the occasional flier with the zx5

Play the ZX5s and they are great. Enjoyed the test.😊

ACE!!!! Nice! I found the zx4 mkii to have a lower ball flight with slower swing speeds starting around the 7 iron with even modus 105 in regular. I've bent 2 sets 1* weaker and didn't have to change shafts for them. The cg on those are really touchy IMO for ball flight.

Zx5’s look a good fit!

I swing 7 iron around 93mph I went full zx5s the forgiveness in them is insane and they don’t look that big at all. I naturally hit the ball low so I liked having the help of hitting it higher when I needed.

Nice 1. I relate to the 75 swing speed....but guess nowhere near strike consistency! And really, that is my takeaway...most club performance will be similiar when strike is consistent. But, the extra 3-5 yards across 60-70 swings, prob have me lean to 5 if not 4.

Was fitted recently for Zx5 and didnt purchase as i was only recently fitted with Rogue St, i know they aint apple for apples but i was starting out last year and quickly dropping the HC. So ill revisted after this season.

I still game the Z965’s and just love them. Modus 120 S in there too…. I’ve always said that Srixon make some of the most forgiving blades

100% 🙌🙌

The roll out on the blade at 95mph was the furthest despite higher spin, i wouldn’t have expected that? It’s an academic question really since ZX5 looks more suited to me (though I am sticking with my JPX 921 Forged for now). I really like the dual speed testing.

That's only because a lot of them would have been pitching short of the green, and therefore bouncing on and rolling out, if it lands of the green then the software will show it stopping a lot quicker, hence why I was talking more about just the carry number, roll out on software is always going to be questionable so I just stick to talking about carry

Do you have a performance test for 2024 Ping irons planned?

Can't get over how the blade is 'keeping up' with the cavity backs

Main thing with irons is always loft. I know there's lots of talk about tech in irons but loft will always be the biggest influencer. So only being 2* between the ZX5 and the Z Forged I would only expect to see around 5 yards of difference in carry

Hole in one with the ZX4 ! hahaha..In the bag

How do they feel? Like mizuno?

Who swinging that slow would play 120gram shafts. Anyway to do this with shafts that are relevant to the swing speed? Thank you for the videos

Thanks Peter. Well shaft only really has an impact on timing, strike, consistency, things like that, so even if I were using a different shaft the results and numbers at the end would have still been basically identical

Wish you had a zx4 8 iron for this test Same loft as blade. What would be the difference loft for loft

@epgolfstudios

2 ай бұрын

Probably not too much difference in all honesty. Probably still see a touch more spin from the blade possibly but I'm not sure there would be a lot in it

Which brands are you now stocking for iron fittings? Thanks

Threse Srixon irons are just about to be sent away to have our own adapters fitted and we will have them back in a couple weeks, same with Ping, so as soon as we get them back we will have Srixon, Ping, Titleist, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Taylormade, Proto Concept, Wishon 👍

Well technically this was a par 4 👀😂😂😂

I don't how using a heavy, stiff steel shaft at 75mph is showing how a club will perform in the "real world." If you want to test at 75mph, use a light weight, preferably graphite, shaft in a regular or senior flex. You just might see better launch and spin.

@epgolfstudios

Shafts make a minute difference to launch and spin, in fact there's an older video on my channel where I test a very lightweight graphite shaft (50g) against a Modus 105 Stiff and a Dynamic Gold X100 and the graphite shaft launched the lowest and span the lowest out of all of them. So when it comes to shafts you can't assume anything. Best bet with shafts is play what feels the best to you and what you can strike the most consistently. Then the head is what generates the high majority of launch and spin. Possibly with weaker people a heavier shaft might slow them down a little which could influence peak height. But yeah generally speaking, they don't have a big impact on launch conditions.

The shaft really only influences golfers timing. For some good golfers it makes practically no difference as they adjust to shaft feel. And those it does make a difference, then better use feel (timing) you are comfortable with at all speeds for consistency

what i got is the zx4 is much hotter and less consistent imo….. the blade was almost spot on and if you come into hitting a blade knowing the potential downfalls i feel it will make you a more accurate golfer as youre not getting jumpers…. bad hits arent rewarded and you know you have to do the work but thats only my opinion im a 15 and have blades in the bag currently and down from a 25+ handicap.
