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.Is it bad I have been on Srixon website since this article was written? I have looked at different set make ups. I would probably go 3U, then 5-GW ZX5. Maybe a split set 5-7 ZX5 and 8-GW ZX7 but I don't know if I have the game for that makeup. But I will definitely be giving them a try. Like I said I love the ZU85 3 utility I have. The ball jumps off the face.

I think you would just adjust the loft to suit.I'm sure the tech makes for the proper gapping but the 4U being 23* and the ZX5 5i being 24* seems strange.
Same for the gapping at the 8 or 9 which is where I assume that you would transition with a combo set.

If you hit a 4i easier/better than a 3h, then a UT would be very good for you.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.
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.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!

Hmm, interesting if true .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.
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'm sure the tech makes for the proper gapping but the 4U being 23* and the ZX5 5i being 24* seems strange.

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 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 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...I think the z585's are really forgiving, and expect the Zx5s to be the same, and according to @Jman 's review, even better.

Really excited to hear more about this when the time comes!For Albatross Club forum members, we have some crazy cool stuff coming up with this line.
We will rectify that when we get a round togetherThat is a great write up, and beautiful irons. I am ashamed to admit that I have never even held a Srixon golf club let alone hit one. Those are pretty delightful though.

That would be most excellent, this needs to happenWe will rectify that when we get a round together
Imo that’s a great place to split, I think you’ll enjoy them in a big way.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.
Will be at the top of my morning to do list!Thanks dude!! It's a really good one (mostly because of Noelle). Hope you guys enjoy.
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.Be honest James......will I like these?!
