They sell the vast majority of their clubs to the Japanese/ Asian markets….i have used their clubs in the past…..good clubs but I won't be in the market this season
It has never made sense to me that we just hit a 7 iron and determine if we want to spend thousands of dollars or not. 🤦🏻♂️ these Srixon’s intrigue me. I want to try to get a set of the mark I’s used.
James you have nice informational videos, but since I subscribed you told me I won something and you have not answered me on what I won even when I went to your email or other place you told me to go and asked you a few times to answer me what I won, it was right after you had the New Callaway Paradym driver package, wish you would just tell the truth would be nice.
Srixon have clearly put a lot of work into making these irons very blendable but that may very well be their undoing especially at the retail level. The issue with blending a set is that most big box stores do not like splitting apart sets. I normally just play 5-PW in irons and but I cannot buy that in store because they can’t just get rid of the 4 iron or Gap Wedge in stock sets, let alone split sets in half. Even if they could do that I’m pretty sure these 3 irons all have different stock offerings as their shafts and possibly different stock grips so I’m not sure I’d even want that if it was offered to me at a store. That’s not good for local sales since any combo set would have to be custom ordered. Maybe that’s how Srixon on wants it but I can say there are quite a few golfers out there who walk in and just buy what’s on the rack. Hope they do well because they look great.
I know Srixon make/or made a full on muscle back version as well yet when I look at the witb on golfwrx most tour players use the zx7 or older 785 version. I'm eyeballing Cobra lately, those new King tours look solid…without yelling it.
I have been saying that for years. Allow the customer to select what he likes. More split sets will get the perfect club from short to the longest iron in the bag
Most people are taught that "you only need a good job to get rich". These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists
You mentioned brand appeal in your video… seriously, if a golfer puts his clubs in the bag because of the brand name before performance, he’s missing the point.
Got fitted into the ZX7s (5i-PW, GW) a few weeks ago. I was blown away at the consistency and forgiveness despite them being considered a players iron. Might get a ZX5 or Utility in a 3 or 4 Iron sometime in the future.
I really like how you give the non big five manufacturers their time in the the sun. I definitely would give Srixon a look if I were to look at a new set. I watched your ZX 5 five wood review and I have to say I was impressed. Keep up the great vids.
The Srixon irons are definitly worth considering. I particularly like the look of the new Z forged blade. I hope that you will review this club as well.
Dear James I have a review for you. The Ram FX 77 irons. You liked the Ram VIP irons wonder what you would think of the FX 77 irons. $350 USD. Muscle backs with Lamkin cross line grips and quality shaft's. I have the set with the graphite shaft and love them in a simulator and wonder what you would think.
Always used Titleist irons and was looking between T100s and T200 but now thinking about these too. I play off 11 but like a really thin top line. Put off by 'forgiving irons' looks. An ideal world would be slighlty forgiving, workability, and they all look like a Mizuno 🙂
I have the mk1 ZX7 4-pw, absolutely stunning! I've always played titleist irons and won't be going back after gaming these!! Being a single figure Hcap who likes the feel and workability I didn't like the offset of the 4 or 5.
Scott Gourlay Golf Technology (SGGT) is the only place I know who fit clubs using a 4,6,8 & wedge options. Not just a 7i. Having all those options makes sets or combo sets so much easier selecting the right clubs. I have ZX7s awesome clubs. Looking forward to the MK2s.
I bought the ZX 5 last year after returning a set of P790 Taylormade. Absolutely the best irons I have owned. I have a set of 1995 Hogan Apex that I have played since 95, and these ZX5 are the best. Love the videos.

Any chance you could include some clubs with senior shafts in your testing for us older guys.
The new zx5 spin is ridiculous for that type of iron

So much for the take away lesson 😬

Zx5 and Zx7 combo are on the short list, and the clubs that I really fancy most at the moment. The Cobra King Tour and CB are in the running, too
I ordered a full set of zx7's for the upcoming season. It's still full snowy/cold winter here so won't get to hit them for another month or so

I've have last year's sx7 irons I think they are amazing
What about the new blade?!

I already have zx5 and zx7 mkI best irons on the market.
I have a combo set of the previous version. They are perfect I absolutely adore them
Where would you go to test srixions? Like Tacoma, no idea. Would like new irons but need to try, test and make sure they fit before i buy…

I have only played TM irons but the ZX5’s may be able to convince me to switch. It feels amazing and love the performance
James, please do a video for the Z forged 2 blades too!
