This is how I set up my bag with zx4. It has worked well. But I also don’t full swing my wedges. My AW was previously a full swing club. Agree it’s totally dependent on what you do with the club in each spot.I have the ZX5 AW (50), then 56 and 60 above that. It really depends on how you use the clubs. Were I to swap to a ZX4 AW, I'd likely go 54-60 (am pondering that). But I'm fine with partial swings on the AW, and typically would rather hit a partial AW than a full SW. But that's my issue of over swinging a full SW shot.
When you do your fitting, bring your 50 and 56 and hit those to see gapping - though if you're on mats you may have to take it with a grain of salt depending on your swing.
Good luck on your new irons they're really great irons.Just got back from the fitting, spent over 2 hours going over different shafts and heads. Tried out both the ZX4 and the ZX5 but ended up pulling the trigger on a set of ZX4s for that extra touch of forgiveness.
Order sheet:
ZX4 6-AW
N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 105 X-Stiff 112g shafts
+1 degree up, +1" length
Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Oversize grip, logo down
Also ordered a CBX4 56 wedge in the same specs as the irons.
Can't wait for them to arrive!
I don't notice my ZX4 4i being hollow, and I did play the halo irons. It has a very solid feel for me. Maybe it's the forged face, but I don't notice a huge drop-off from the other iron models.Good luck on your new irons they're really great irons.
Quick question when you were demoing the ZX 5 and ZX 4 did you notice the hollowness on the ZX 4.
To me it didn't have the hollowness feel like on a Halo hybrid iron which I hated but I thought I did detect some of that dull hallow feel on the ZX 4.
Sometimes I have to see the ball in the air to realize I hit it because of the soft sorta dull feeling. Maybe a higher compression ball is order.
Anyway appreciate your thoughts.

I played the previous Halo irons briefly, currently have a mix of ZX5 and ZX4. The 4 is a totally different ballgame than the Halo, and in fact, I think the ZX4 feels better than the ZX5 when you're outside the sweetspot. Flushed, both feel great, including for green side chips.Good luck on your new irons they're really great irons.

Yikes. That is a ton of weight in the head
Very happy to hear you're in something more suited for you. Doesn't hurt that they are just great irons to begin with. Hope you have a great time with them for a long time.My irons arrived yesterday. I took them to our simulator today and was quite surprised. I knew swing weight was important, but I didn't realize how important. I went from E3 to D2. My old 7-iron carried around 135ish, I hit the Srixon 6-iron (same loft as my old 7-iron) over 150 yards a few times. They felt so light. I then hit my old 7-iron and it was like swinging a sledge hammer.
Being able to get the SW down was a major reason I went with Srixon. I knew it would make a difference, but didn't realize how much of one. I had contacted other OEM's but none could reduce the SW to what would be considered normal.
Odd, I always thought newer Clubs have stronger lofts than old. I have no real background since I've only been fitted once in 2021 when i got 1st Gen ZX5s. I've had my Ping Zings since new back when they 1st came out.My irons arrived yesterday. I took them to our simulator today and was quite surprised.

When I played steel shafts, the SW was E8.E3 are sledge hammers. I would be exhausted trying to hit those. Good luck with the new Srixons I have been very happy with them.
Do you have graphite shafts? I think maybe between the hollow design, forged face, switching from steel to graphite shafts, and a low-compression Srixon Soft Feel I do detect a slightly dull and muted feeling. The R flex may be too soft and getting accustomed to 65g graphite after 100g steel is a big adjustment. The irons are by no means bad they perform fantastic but without being attacked I thought the Stealths had a nicer feel off the face.I don't notice my ZX4 4i being hollow, and I did play the halo irons.

I do have graphite, it's MMT shafts I was fit into, and actually, they were a bit heavier than what I was playing before. But the 4 has a bit lighter than the rest of the set.Do you have graphite shafts?

I'm a club ho so with Callaway's 50% trade-in bonus I'm going to swing the Smoke HL irons tomorrow and see how they feel and perform. Thanks for all the thoughts.
I played a higher compression ball today and the feel was much better. I got that satisfying feeling back after flushing a few. Think I'll stick with the ZX 4 as I didn't like the visuals of the Smoke irons in person.I do have graphite, it's MMT shafts I was fit into, and actually, they were a bit heavier than what I was playing before.

When I played steel shafts, the SW was E8.
Yes, +2-inches.I am not sure I could move an E8 swingweight these days. Are the shafts extra long?
I was just going to pop in and say it was the ball, but it seems you figured that outI played a higher compression ball today and the feel was much better.

Speaking of 4 I may entertain getting the 4 iron as I dislike hybrids.
No little “jumpers” that surprise coming off the face with chips?Still my favorite iron set I’ve ever played. Gotten out several times the last couple weeks in windy weather. Been able to flight them down pretty good without getting too far left from over that time period. The ZX5 PW is also a really good short game club. I can do a lot of things with it from various ranges and if I have any room to release it is my go to club due to my comfort with it in hand and knowledge I am not going to dig with the V sole.
