The Srixon irons are fantastic and you will love them if you go that way.I was looking at these at the golf shop yesterday. If I was in the market for irons it would be one of these two.

I too went the other way. I have the Modus 105 S steel. I wanted to try some graphite shafts, but the ZX5's with these shafts are just so good for me. I'm still loving them coming up on a year later.sorry, I went completely the other way with Modus 120 S steel
one more data point. Range was closed today so to the chipping green I go. First time I'd focused on the ZX5 AW with the Dart 65 R flex in it for a chipping session. This was probably my biggest concern when spec'ing the clubs - feel shots around the green. I also brought my trusty Glide 3 Eye2 55* with Recoil Proto wedge shaft (which is a bit over 110g iirc). It frankly was no contest - I was consistently inside the Eye2 with the AW. Everything from short sided bumps to maybe 10-20 yards off the green. I do really like to feel like I can move the wedge around, and it seemed I always knew where the head was, going from putter-type strike to more flip/handsy. Totally exceeded my expectations but as always, YMMV.Hey guys. Anyone playing the ZX5 with a lighter graphite shaft? Something in the 60-70g range?
I really don’t. And if people hit them side by side indoors, I wouldn’t be shocked if AI Smoke wins more times than not because of the sole design. Probably eke out a few extra yards one some misses with Smoke, but these are pretty darn good.Now you're just showing off. Hitting the green at the rate is pretty killer for a 5 iron. I know they are different irons, but since they are covering close to similar yardages, do you think these are any more challenging to hit than the AI Smoke?
I don't regret going with the 4's, but I think I would have loved these too.I really don’t.

I think you would have, but the 4’s have worked well for you.I don't regret going with the 4's, but I think I would have loved these too.
These shafts right here were a perfect match for my old factory ping Zing ShaftsI too went the other way. I have the Modus 105 S steel. I wanted to try some graphite shafts, but the ZX5's with these shafts are just so good for me. I'm still loving them coming up on a year later.
I've found the SF's play pretty firm.I had a set of ZX5mkII with SteelFiber 60gr
They were A flex. Between too light and too flexible they just didn’t get it done for me. I’m finding 95 gram, R flex, and Recoil bend profile is about right in my sweet spot.I've found the SF's play pretty firm.
I did the same. Really like the consistency they give. Lighter shafts cause more dispersion for my swing.sorry, I went completely the other way with Modus 120 S steel
Here’s a couple of those individual swings

a few carried 20+ yds past the green.Went to Sim yesterday w/ @Scribble . Was nuking my ZX4's pretty good. I know it's sim golf so definitely taken w/ grain of salt but was happiest about being able to consistently square these irons right up. Said to Steve that I can't see myself wanting to change them for a long time.
Maybe, but not as fun. If I were looking at just improving my Score I'd remove my U85s... but. I'm back in the game to have fun now and hitting my U85 3-6 is just too much fun.After taking my first lesson at age 55 after already playing for 40 yrs off and on, my PGA pro said for the average weekend golfer he would not suggest using any iron above a 6 iron. Most will have better consistency and more improvement utilizing a hybrid. According to him the 3-5 irons are the most difficult to hit pure. I have found this to be one of the best pieces of advice I have received.
