Sorry if I missed it but will there a review thread on the drivers?

After my experience with the Z585 driver, the new ones are at the top of my radar, especially as they have greatly improved the appearance IMO. That alignment mark is so much better, and love the grey/red pinstripes.
There is a lot to say when the time is right but until then...
Ah, confirmed. That was the impression I thought you were giving in your review. Currently playing TM-Tour Titan-Steel II irons, a cavity-back TaylorMade clone. They actually seem to work pretty well for me.They are pretty forgiving.Nice! I wish I still had enough game to play the 5 series but time marches on and I no longer swing hard enough to get the best out of them. They sure are pretty though.
Eager? Yes. <looks at calendar> But December in Michigan...So who else is eager to try these out?
I'm not considering the 7's, so I don't know as this comment is germane, but in general terms I'm partial to a satin finish. I the looks of my CBX wedges, for example.Ya know, they look good, but the top line bugs me in that tiny complaint kind of way. The satin makes it look thicker.
Right on, looking forward to learning about them. Pretty stellar line-up this year, pretty sure the Srixon experience in 2021 will be a popular ticketThere is a lot to say when the time is right but until then...
any thoughts on whether to buy the used z585s?
Sorry. Meant to say that I hit both the Z585s and the Apex irons. The Z585s were super consistent, just a tiny draw (which I want) and consistent distance. The Apex's felt softer to me at least, but were going right and less consistent. Part of me wishes that I had tried more clubs, thinking Mizunos here, but I didn't.
So while I didn't get fitted per se, I did hit the Z585s and the Apex's, with the Z585s feeling and hitting great. I can't say whether other irons would have had better spin and launch characteristics. But they are pretty cheap...
Did you get all ZX 7s or did you blend some ZX5s into the longer irons?So I really enjoyed the ZX7 today. Don't have to work that hard to hold these greens and the little bit of extra/easy distance with the Modus combo was really nice on a cool day. Layed up off the tee mostly to get quite a few approach shots in with them, and stuck 9 within about 10' I think, nearly holed 2 separate 7 irons, and so on.. Tested the toe on one 6i approach towards the end and while it turned over a bit, it was left fringe about 25' from the pin and less than half a club short of expected distance. It wasn't a small miss either. I was pretty impressed with that.
Turf interaction is really enjoyable as you'd expect. I really do like the trail relief of the V soles. Anyone who's seen me swing knows that my AoA is fairly strong throughout the irons, with a pretty forward low point, and after playing these for quite a few rounds I honestly think the soles make them a little easier on my wrists and .. body, I guess. Lessens the impact for me in a way that I'm starting to notice with mixed turf here. My right wrist was tender going into today, and I was taking it easy because of that, but it wasn't any worse at the end. Gives me confidence to really work the flight of them without worry. Anyway, ramble, but I think I notice it and anything that helps my broken body gets extra points in my book.
I took the 4-7 a degree weak, and blended through the 8/9 back to stock, and it seemed fine today. Might need to take it right up to the PW, as one 9i was a little strong today, but they're closer to where they'd need to be for me.
Anyway, pounded the daylights out of the pins today with these and it was fun. They feel good, and I might suck as a barometer on it because opinions seem to be varying here, but they seem pretty forgiving for a modern lofted CB without a chunky sole.
I play the exact same combo set and have no reason to change, but it is tempting to try themreally wanna get the zx7's ASAP. ive had 765/965's and currently play 785/ z forged
I have no need to upgrade other than...WANT!!!!!!
Better.Anyone compare the zx5 to the z585?
Those look great!!!!The zx5's have finally arrived!
They are much prettier and shinier than I remember when I was fitted for them, can't wait to get them out on the course at the weekend.
I will post my initial thoughts after I have used them in anger.
