I really want to pull the trigger on a set of ZX5 MKii, but the graphite shafts I want are not offered.

Get what you want, then order the Srixons with a popular shaft 1” long spec with the regular head not the lighter, grip in the box then sell the pull to recoup some of the preferred shaft.I really want to pull the trigger on a set of ZX5 MKii, but the graphite shafts I want are not offered.
This feels like an excuse to me. Anybody else?I really want to pull the trigger on a set of ZX5 MKii, but the graphite shafts I want are not offered.
I saw that, I want the 90's or Recoil 95's. I called CS and they are checking on ordering and availability. fingers crossed.

Even though there is an Atmospheric River heading to Los Angeles....
Spring arrived yesterday.
In soggy wet conditions, the Zx5 mkii V-Soles kept me in the game, smiling and basking in the rain.
They are a definite Super Game Improvement iron for my game. Although listed in the Players Distance Irons category.
They were drop and stop when I hit any part of the greens. But to be fair the conditions were soft, and very receptive greens.
But most welcomed is the feel. Somehow, they squeezed the Mizuno MP-5'S Channel Back Blade feel into a Cup Face Cavity Back. IMHO.
Whether it was artificial intelligence or just plain human ingenuity, I can't say.
But I am definitely looking forward to testing them out on the hard pan rolling links of golfing this summer.
P. S. The CBX Zipcore Full Face 2 Cavity Back (chippers disguised as Wedges) are also no slouch.
Best Improvement of the clubs in my bag since I gave up Persimmon Woods, Mashies, Niblicks, Baffies, and Spoons.
M2C.

it's amazing. I love the 7's. And most of last year I played an iron of similar size with the Honma TW747vx irons. So shape/size wise it appeals to me so much. But I just always gravitate to those 5s. Perhaps it's because I first fell in love with the 545.
Back in the Srixon fold. I took a flier on the Mizuno Hot Metals. I got fit at 2nd Swing and the numbers were great. But IRL, if just didn't jive with them. They looked a lot bigger (should have went with the pros) and realized how the V-sole was just SO good for my game.
I'd hoped to buy my old ones back, but they were already sold. So I used the Playability guarantee and put in an order for a new set of ZX5s. Ultimately an expensive foray I didn't to take. In hindsight, I loved the ZX5s and there was no reason to go away from them.
Im still contemplating a ZX4 set .
Agree about the differences. Slight but noticeable.I had the first shakedown range session with the Mkii ZX5s today. I'd played 4 rounds and multiple range sessions with the Hot Metals and nothing felt right. Within 2 shots with the Mkii ZX5s, everything was right with the world again. Just straight shots with a high powerful ballflight. I was stupid to move away from a club I loved. Lesson learned.
They only difference between the previous version was they felt slightly better at impact.

The 1” over length would require a lighter head to manage SW. If you were to sell the shaft 1” long allows more people the option to buy it which was my original suggestion. A lighter head would most likely add the weight in the hosel to build up weight which would make the face easier to turn over unless this was the goal in the fitting for those who have issues to the right. The lighter head requires adding vs subtracting which means drilling out a hosel for weight which the fitter is correct on but the previous post was on getting heads for a 95g shaft vs 105-115g and 1/2” long. The head weights could be simple as manufacturing tolerances being sorted to heavy vs light.requesting for regular head makes it easier for builds in the future? i was fitted with half inch overlength and D5 SW with C taper lite and midsize grip +2 wraps. i realize on their website they use a lighter head for builds 1/2 inch overlength. my fitter said it’s better to have a lighter initial SW to add on and make it heavier as compared to going from heavier to lighter.
does anyone know how do they use a lighter clubhead? less material? or those weights at the hosels?

Interesting, My Recoil 95's were no extra charge and come in 11 days later. But I ordered early January.I saw that, I want the 90's or Recoil 95's. I called CS and they are checking on ordering and availability. fingers crossed.
