I genuinely think it is the way light hits the backside of the texture in photos. In hand they look pretty darn good. Perhaps during our live stream today, video does a better job of itIt is me or does the style on the back cavity look a little on the cheap side? Maybe it's just the camera angle in the home page article. Anyone got a pic of these in hand? Would like another look. Given the ZX5 and 7 are on the too thin looking side for me, the ZX4 has piqued my interest.
Nice writeup Dean. I think Srixon has something with Mainframe. These are a little beefy but look great in hand.
Thanks for the pic. Looks better here. Kinda plain but classy at the same time.I genuinely think it is the way light hits the backside of the texture in photos. In hand they look pretty darn good. Perhaps during our live stream today, video does a better job of it

awesome notes on this! Eye for detail. I'd be curious why UT and not ZX4, ZX5, ZX7 combo? Similar to Another brand with an ultra forgiving offeringRemember on the THP Showcase with Srixon when they were asked, “Why does the new ZU only go to 4 iron, when the U85 was offered all the way to 6 iron?”
They said they couldn’t really discuss it right now, the ZX4 is the answer, they didn’t need to because it’s a whole set of UT irons.
They are probably the most fun to hit out of all of the irons in the tech studio.
Neat I didn’t know they published their specs like that. Wish more companies did.
Isn't this basically the iron the srixon is replacing? Honest question, is the main thing that they think they have a quality item and it will be better received as a Srixon product than a cleveland product? Can't argue with them as the Cleveland name only seems to really resonate with the consumers as a wedge, but maybe I am wrong.
Good info there, thanks. Looks like they might have a very attractive topline, only 1mm wider that the 5 or 7, of course topline appearance also depends on how they shape it. And the sole width doesn't look that bad either, which in the long irons was a problem for me in the UHX. When I hit the UHX I loved the looks of the PW and 7-iron, but then hit the 4-iron and it was just hard to look down at.
This is exactly who I was thinking of this morning, Callaway released 3 irons while srixon released 2 and I though where's the 3rd. Even a couple months ago there were hints about this zx4 but to me being naive I didn't continue wondering. And here it is.. While I understand not every OEM releases more than 1 or 2 or 3 irons or whatever I still thought something may be missing.Genuinely I don't believe so. I think Cleveland is still alive and well. In my opinion it is a Srixon growth area. A hole in the lineup so to speak that is no longer vacant. Similar to what DCB did for Apex and that line, ZX4 combines the golfer that wants a premium iron with a forgiveness level that wasn't previously available. I would expect the Cleveland lineup to be updated at some point based on previous release timing and while I have no information as of yet, do not think they would abandon the UHX class completely or they will remain in line, similar to CBX at the last release. Two different constructions and two different price points.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, or like Mizuno and their Hot Metal/Hot Metal Pro in the JPX line. Just filling out the line up by adding a high end GI set to the line.Genuinely I don't believe so.

As a high-handicapper, I've been giving Callaway's Apex 21 DCB a close look. But I actually hit my current very-old-tech CB irons pretty well, from the 6i on up, so it may be a blended set, such as Callaway's "Sweet Spot" will work for me. Wondering: Any word on whether Srixon will do something similar with the ZX series? E.g.: ZX4 3i-5i, ZX5 6i-AW?In my opinion it is a Srixon growth area.

Makes perfect sense and glad that Cleveland is going strong. Have always enjoyed that brand and only more so after my time with them in the desert.
Man that was a fun weekend with Jamie Sadlowski.
