The ZX7 AW is a little bit good. Just a smidge.
I chip with a 7 iron but I have to agree. The sole is just perfect to glide off the turf on little chips.Love me some ZX 8-iron chipping! Smoooth!
So happy these found you and are playing well with them Be fun to put some swings on them in Aug and compare the Modus 120S shafts to these.My ZX7 irons are a great fit for me. I tried to be more creative with the apex combo, but that was just not my thing. With weeks of practice and play under my belt with the ZX7s I am hitting my irons top to bottom very consistently. I trust my distances, can control trajectory, and have no problems working shots both ways. I get plenty of spin and can adjust with a simple ball change. I also love that I can get steeper with these as needed. That v-sole is fantastic. Great set of irons.
I am also increasingly happy with the steelfiber i95 shafts. Previously I would have sworn I was a recoil guy and less than 110 was too light. But these are ideal for me. Srixon rep who fitted me wanted me in X-flex. I opted for S hard stepped once. All my previous shafts were +1/2 or thereabouts. These are standard length. Shafts are perfect. Since I started playing I wanted to find my shaft. Hello there, my shaft.

Some of mine have been paying a heavy price for pulling off their awesomeness though. . The grooves look great still, but the soles are showing some age.
Yeah, I'm used to dings and gouges. Shearing the chrome off.. that one kind of stings to look at. LolBattle scares are a sign of character..
Well I purposely tried a couple fun ones today with the ZX7. Was left side 165 from the pin and normally would have worked something high around the branches in my way, but went with a curling 5i punch to run it up. Just sliced right through the rough with the exact shape I wanted. Ended up running about 35' past the hole, but the club did everything I'd hoped.

Then later, bombed a drive around and down a hill, but was in a crap spot mostly blocked out by a tree at 94y. There was a window to loop a half 9i through and in from the right, and I normally would have. Wanted to do something different, and decided to hit a runner into the hill (severely uphill, forgot that). Needed to get off the ground but not have too much spin. Decided on a stinger 7i, and ended up tapping the pin and getting an easy birdie.

Tons of fun, and definitely reinforced what I've felt about them and what they can do. Just more impressed all the time.
Good outing with the ZX7's today. 9/18 GIR but the thing was the misses where all really close (except one that went into the pond) and generally pin high. Did have a couple shots I was between distances and chose the club up route and turned out just fine.
The PW is gone out of the bag and has been replaced with a Titleist Vokey SM8, 46°F.
Was having issues getting the set PW to 115 even after having the loft checked (which was spot on) Threw in the SM8 today and second hole I am 114y out after the drive and grabbed the SM8 and stuck it pin high 4 yards right of the pin. Plenty of spin from it even with a Srixon soft feel ball.
Don't really understand it either, but won't complain about the results with the SM8 today.Interesting … I had the same distance issue with ZX7 PW. Have not had an expected-distance issue with the ZX5 PW. Weird. Btw, I have a 46 degree SM7 in the second bag.That club is money.
Today I could have used a little more forgiveness. I was not hitting crisp irons or getting my typical distances. Only 7/18 GIR. Back was stiff from the get go, and I almost felt like I had a bit of vertigo at times. ZX7 irons were still solid -- their forgiveness is shockingly good for the playability-- but for most of the round I was in full scramble mode on and around the greens. These are the days where I could benefit from a little more help. Fortunately days like today are rarer for me. Knock on wood.
On a positive, I did hit a couple of very good approach shots, including a 7i fade around a giant spruce tree after an unfortunate tee shot into a hazard. I couldn't see the green from where I hit. Left a 10 footer for par (due to the penalty). But the good shots were in the minority today.
