Great test guys!

Srixons feel like Butter. Really forgiving, easy to shape. Love my ZX7s. driver swing speed is 115-117, the TMs had a bunch of flyers but the Srixons were shorter, they were lot more consistent. Didn’t need my 7 iron flying 205. Distance isn’t everything with irons

I've been gaming the ZX5's since Jan and they've been the best irons I've ever hit. Yes, I got longer distances with the P790s, but I got fliers too and was horribly inconsistent with them. ZX5's are soft, great feel and sound, and dispersion was tighter for me.

Thomas always comes through with every single accent and dialect of the English language. Solid!

I traded my p770s in for a combo zx5/zx7 set. The 770s/790s were difficult to gauge distance with when you caught a flush strike being the speed foam & hollow head enhance distance. Currently play zx5 4,5 & zx7 6-pw also added a zx utility iron 3 for narrow tee shots. Absolutely best irons I’ve ever hit. Feel like marshmallows and distances stay true.

I was on vacation recently and rented a set of ZX5's and they felt amazing.

I play z785 irons and absolutely love them. Feel like butter. Had them bent weaker to more traditional lofts and they’re perfect.

I’ve had the zx5s for a couple months now and absolutely love them. Feel and look amazing

Bought a used 2 week old set of ZX5’s at Dicks. Guy had traded them in for the Taylor 770 or 90’s .. Went in a few weeks later for some shoes and the sales guy said the guy was back looking for his ZX5’s to re trade!!! I love them. Soft feel. Honestly feel I can fade or draw if necessary. Could never do that with my old clunky Big Bertha irons.

I just demo'd the P770, P790, ZX5 and ZX7 and the head weight felt slightly heavier with the Srixons. The reason the Taylor Mades go further is simple, they use a 4140 steel face vs the 1020 steel in the Srixons. 4140 steel is substantially harder and stronger than 1020, hence the softer feel with the Srixons.

Ive been watching your channel for a while now regarding players distance irons as I'm in the market. I just got back from a fitting, looking at 4 heads - cobra forged tec, mizuno 921 forged, ZX7, and T200. I found the cobras to look and feel like my old M4s, the mizuno was nice and fairly easy to hit, the T200s were not forgiving at all, and the ZX7s were unreal. I was averaging 100 mph swing speed with 7 iron, 31 yard height, and 6500 rpm, with a carry of about 175 yards with a fade. I'm about a 12 handicap and these will help my game and give me room to grow. Appreciate your content - it was helpful.

Just bought the Sixons last week. Love them. They give me better consistency than the TM's. The TM's were really frustrating when I would catch one too flush and over the green it went.

I combo the 4 and 5 with the zx5 and 6 to 9 with the Zx7. Very nice combo set I’ve found. Don’t like the hollow irons out there at all. Hit ‘em straight, who cares how long they are.

Such a good test and being a Srixon ZX5 player completely agree with the results. Played all the Srixon irons from the Z545 and now wouldn't play any other brand.

I am considering both of these clubs and leaning towards the p770, but I am impressed with the Srixon zx7's.

Srixon zx5 were the nicest Iron I have ever hit, only found them at a PGA Superstore. That is why they are underrated, can't find them.

I bought some used ZX5s 6-pw, for I think $400 and found used ZX 4 and 5 hybrids to match. Paid about 650 total. I love the look and no regrets.

Love them both! These were the two sets that it came down to for me. I just think that the P790's (2021) are the better looking club. They both performed equally well for me, but the P790's are GORGEOUS!

I've been gaming Srixon irons since the z745 released.. I upgraded to zx7 with nippon modus tour120x last year and they are pure bliss... they are so dialed and controlled... easy to manipulate left right high low. I feel like I have the ball on a string when I'm playing well.. and they give enough help back when you're not playing so well which is a good thing also..

They say that srixon are the poor man's Mizuno....I'm sporting the Z785 6-w and have 4,5 in the zx5 really enjoy these. I'm a 13.3 hccp. And hit the Z785 just fine... easiest club I've used this far that I can hit a fade and or draw...I've failed trying to hit draws and fades with any other clubs. Thx Thomas and Drew love the content and keep them coming.

Played p770 p790 since 2017. Had the zx5 for a bit. I think the best club that fits between a 770/790 and Zx5/Zx7 is the 2022 cobra forged Tec.

6:36 In defense of Srixon, it is the ZX4 hollow body that competes with the TM P790, not the ZX5. If you are looking for distance in a head that is not oversize then both the P790 and ZX4 provide that. I have hit both, and prefer the ZX4 because the P790 sounds pretty "clicky" to me. I have hit the ZX5 too (its natural competitor would be another cavity back like the Mizuno 921 Hot Metal Pro), and it feels better than either the P790 or ZX4. If you have the swing speed to get sufficient height and distance, then you don't really want to blast your 7 iron 200 yards, but you do want consistent distances and feedback.

i came very close to buying the P790 but the flyers where ridiculous 😬. ended up with cobra forged tech and love them. I've since hit the zx7's and they are absolutely buttery, wish they where in stock to test before i made a purchase.

Been playing on and off for 20 years, low single handicap. ZX7s are easily the best irons I have hit for me personally, and I have hit a lot.

I’m using my third set of Srixon irons. Great feel 👍🇦🇺

Love my fitted 2021 P790's not even broke in yet and they are like a wet dream. They are so crisp and more forgiving than I thought they would be. I tested out Mizuno Pro 225 but they felt head heavy to me. Srixon were OK but they also didn't do it for me. At 49 yo the 790 will be my forever irons.

I got fit today hit the p790 and zx5s I was hitting zx5s almost 10 yards further, tighter dispersion. I kept a 1.40 smash for both same swing speeds ball speed was a little quicker with the zx5 obviously but both felt amazing it’s weird seeing all these fitting videos with the taylormade going further

Bought a set of ZX5s with Steelfiber shafts and they did not feel right. I pulled the shafts and found they stepped the "R" shafts and the clubs felt like "S" shafts! Re-did the whole set with "A" shafts then the ZX5s felt awesome. They are not as workable as my old clubs so it has taken some time to understand hitting the ball straight.

My useless observation. I prefer Drew and Thomas being in the simulator in the store instead. That store set up and presentation is so nice, which makes it much more enjoyable to watch. Just more used to it that way I guess.

Have had my Ping Zings since new. Last year went on Vaca and made the mistake of renting ZX5s. I now have U85 4-6 and ZX5 7-A Wedge. Never before understood what Golfers meant by Buttery feel when hitting an iron, I do now. Only 5 yrds further than my Zings but the Turf interation and feel sealed the deal

Sold my p790 set and upgraded to zx7. The p790 felt awesome but the amount of times I flushed a shot and it went 10m over the green was a joke. There isn’t many courses out there where long is safe. I’m in love with my ZX7s

Had a chance to try the ZX7, Miz225, P770, and Apex Pro in a fitting. Went in with an open mind and my 5yo Miuras. Came out with a new set of apex pros.

as a P770 user since release I've never experienced the random hot ball. it's not an issue.

I went from Ping i200 to Srixon Z785 and cant see another change soon. I also have a P790 7i which I have in my practice bag so can see why they are popular.

had all the big brands, never srixon, but every time I tried a srixon iron I loved the feel, so I bought a 2nd hand set (near new) srixon z785 last year. Hands down the best irons I've ever played. (5 handy cap player) Now my Q is, can the Zx7s be any better... and how.

I am going to buy one Srixon (ZX7) set of clubs as well as a set of TaylorMade P790's. If I'm playing poorly on any given day I will just switch clubs on the turn. 'Cuz clearly it is the equipment's fault.

I went from Z785/Z-Forged combo set to T100/T100S combo set. Not sure which I like better both are great although the T100 is smaller than the Srixon blade in my eyes.

Although the P770 are great clubs, they do not provide nearly the feel of the ZX7. I'm fitted 1 degree strong which also minimizes the distance issue. Plus: they are MUCH cheaper!

I own the ZX5 4-PW and ZX7 4-PW, both sets with the same shafts / specs, I had thought about playing the ZX5/ZX7 combo, but based on how close the Srixons were in this test grouping, they appears to be more similar than different. I agree extra distance is not all that unless that's what you are looking for. I never want to nuke a 7 iron and fly a green. I haven't hit the P790 nor the P770 for this reason.. I'd rather try out the P7MC's vs my ZX7's..

Just purchased my Zx5’s a couple days ago. Super excited to get some full rounds in soon

Bought the Srixon ZX5 and very satisfied with them. Very dependable distances

I bought a set of zx5s 5-pw. Great clubs, first time I'd ever tried srixon, big thumbs up. But I found the 9 PW soles maybe a tad chunky for my taste. Totally sold on srixon and ended up trying zx7s and switched to them. I find them just as easy to hit but with a bit more "feel" for me. I don't think you can go wrong with either model though. My brother uses the zx5s and swears by them, and he's coming from mizunos.

Great test. Now we just need the ZX4 irons vs the Stealth irons.

Love the p770’s but wish the blade length was a bit longer. I found the Srixon irons allowed me to get away with hitting behind the ball which was causing me to launch too high and lose distance.

I feel lik the zx7 is closer to the p7mc and the zx5 is closer to the p770, but thats just how Ive been seeing it. I just ordered some zx5's 5-9 for a CRAZY deal, mint condition all 5 irons for $330 shipped couldnt pass it up. Im upgrading from regular R7 irons from 2006 so Im expecting a huge difference. I already have a P7MC 9 iron and PW and from all Ive seen the zx5's will go farther so I think ill be able to using the p7mc as my 9 iron and pw, and the zx5 9 iron would be my technical 8 iron, Ill see if thats how it plays out when I get them! If not I have a bunch of gapping to fix, if i even like the zx5's which i might not, but we'll see!

I love the sole on the ZX5/7 but the Mizuno Pro 225 was too beautiful to pass up.

Video suggestion - quantify what flighting wedges really means. How low do we really want wedge shots to fly? Thanks!

I recently got fitted and tried both the P790 and ZX5 irons. Whilst I agree the 790 is longer I found that the control and feel of the ZX5’s was more than enough to sway my decision. Distance was shorter but more consistent I do remember hitting a few on the 790 which rocketed past where I expected them to be which is also a red flag for consistency - nothing worse than hitting one straight at the pin to find out it’s flown 15 yards past the green 😂

I got the 770 and the ball speed is faster than my old pings…different sound too…I crush the 4 iron which normally was a weaker club for me

comparing hollow body irons to cavity backs seems like comparing apples to oranges doesnt it? I do love my Srixons tho

I get the distance thing but don't blame the club if you can't hit the ball straight...that is on you!

very tough choice might have to go Srixon. All beautiful at least!

I didn’t like the 770 or 790. I’m buying the ZX5 3 iron after this video. I have srixon zx5 driver and fw 3 wood and absolutely love them

Love my 2021 p-790s!

Srixon FTW

Should have hit the p790's first then the ZX5's.

Love my 790’s best iron I have ever hit

Srixon is the best buy 2022😍

Thomas, In fittings and with you personally, how would rate the Mizuno Pro 225 irons versus these irons in terms of distance, forgiveness, consistency, spin and forgiveness? Thank you as always!! Joe

Got the zx7 at 2ndswing Wilmington awesome

I made the mistake of getting zx7 with a shallow swing… the heel relief is a hook machine , I’ve gone back to 620Mb now cause if the soles Great feeling irons the Srixon But they just are hook machines if your not steep

I went to a fitting with Srixon irons in my sights.. 2 hours later I walked out with a smile on my face , an empty wallet and a 2 week anxious wait for my new Taylormade P-790's. They felt so good off the face and the dispersion circle was tighter compared to the Srixons.

Loving my ZX7’s - being that they are a couple of years old now have you heard any rumblings about a new Srixon release??

Are Srixon not made by Cleveland?

So the P770 are smaller than the ZX7? Sole? And topline?

interesting. i think the Srixon irons are massively impressive

I'll take my Takomo 201s over the 770s or the zx7s

I would say the ZX4 is more like the 770 whereas the ZX7 is like the P7MC.

The turd, excuse me, the toe 😂

I was fitted for P790's in a KBS C taper lite shaft. Would that shaft perform the same in the ZX5's? Thanks

Left to right dispersement is the golfer, NOT the club!

Z-forged vs P7MC P7MB combo!

"Srixon is a spin killer" Both Srixon irons had more spin then the TM clubs

mizuno pro 223! I love my Zx7s though lol!

👍👍👍

Hits it 98L and says, little more draw. HA! Quack.

Why do you keep saying “explosive” and calling it the TMs rockets like it’s a good thing. You do t want a spaceship for an iron. You want consistency and dispersion. Don’t even talk to me about rockets 😂 stay on task with what an iron is actually made for. Hitting greens. Not sending it off a tee. Explosive sounds to me like flyers are on the menu. Not a good thing.
