If I was building a set, it’d be 3,4 in the ZXU and 5-P ZX7
I have not hit a utility iron and don’t think about them in combo. Maybe I should. I tend to hit my 4i better than my 3hy.

Nope. I have done the same thing.
I don’t see myself as someone who a utility iron is designed for, but I had a u65 3i for a bit, and it was stupid easy to hit. I ultimately went back to a hybrid for the higher launch, but Srixon does make some really great utilities.

I think you would just adjust the loft to suit.
On one of the reviews online they bent them 2° weak which got me thinking.
Keep the PW loft, bend the 9 iron 1° weak, bend the rest of the irons 2° weak and you have modern traditional lofts throughout the set.
Quite tempted to go down that route.
Been researching the NS Pro Modus shafts too. Very different results from the various options. Anyone have any experience?
I haven't even hit these yet and I'm already going into depth building a set. I hope they do suit my game when I eventually get the chance to try them.

If you hit a 4i easier/better than a 3h, then a UT would be very good for you.
I keep thinking about these clubs and wonder how they would play for me. The look is so good, and I really enjoyed hitting Srixon in the past. So much excitement for this release!

THere has been some talk of a ZX4 which may be a more forgiving option. I am not sure if there is anything to that rumor.
Check the length of the hybrid shaft - it's probably an inch or more longer, and lighter than the 4i, meaning even without much of a loft difference with the 5i, it gaps well.
Hmm, interesting if true
.I just wonder what the advantage would be. I think the 5 series is so good because it has game Improvement tech, while still looking like a players iron. It's why I was drawn to the 5 series in the long irons. I wonder if they go more game Improvement, if they would lose the look and feel so many enjoy from the 5 and 7 series irons.

I play my 585 5 iron at 24* and a Z u85 4 iron at 23* and they did gap a little close for my liking at that end of the bag (about 10 yards of carry difference, I would rather see closer to 15 yards difference). This go round with the Zx irons I will test the 585 4 iron vs. ZX Utility 4 iron and see which gaps better, and or just adjust the lofts. Does anyone know if you can bend these ZX utility irons?

I think the z585's are really forgiving, and expect the Zx5s to be the same, and according to @Jman 's review, even better. Can't hurt to try to hit them. The benefit of hitting a 5 series iron in my opinion, is that there is plenty of tech and forgiveness, yet great feedback, and that feedback can let you know when you are hitting the middle of the clubface (thus helping you become a better ball striker, through feedback) yet they are not overly punishing on off center/thin shots.Hmm, interesting if true

I completely agree with your assessment of the 5 series. Perfect feel on well hit shots. Mishits are felt, but still go pretty well overall. And this is in a package that just appeals to my eye in everyway...
If the ZX can take it up a notch, there will be a lot of happy Srixon fans!
We will rectify that when we get a round together

Just put down a deposit on these sticks. Won't see them til the new year but worth waiting for.
Went a split set. ZX5 in the 5 an 6 irons, and ZX7 from 7 iron to GW. Given the extra carry and stronger loft of the ZX range I don't feel I need the 4 iron.
KBS $ Taper Stiff shaft.
I didn't get the lofts adjusted for the ZX5 irons. Can get them bent later if needed but thinking I should have considered 1* weak.
Effortless distance. A full club longer than my 921 Tours. Plenty forgiving too. Will be interesting to see which set stays in the bag long term.

Imo that’s a great place to split, I think you’ll enjoy them in a big way.

Took the ZX7 7 and PW back out today and backed up what I wrote about in the article. There’s a lot to like about these, and man, that VT Sole

100% honest, yes. They’re the best iteration yet, I really do believe that, and I absolutely adore the 765 to this day.
