To me, the ZX4 has a nice click and even with the added weight I can feel it a bit more than the ZX5. The ZX5 is a little more buttery. But I’ve only been to the range once with these and as stated above I’m hitting the ZX5’s a little better than the 4’s so with time that may change. They both feel really good but simply a bit different. Just my opinion.
I combo the zx7 and 5 at the 5i. Looking down at them from address I can’t really seem much of a difference. Hitting them I would say the zx5 might have a slightly higher ball flight. They gap with each other perfectly, I can work the 4 and 5i zx5 just as easily as I can the 6i in the zx7.
Ball height on 5s, I'm there with ya. Originally thought these were a lot lower than my Zings but in truth it was my Swing. I can now get plenty of height... still working on getting my spin back. I miss the rip back of Ball hitting Green.
I think I would have to be on the moon to hit a 5i that far.The ZX5 irons continue to be loooong for me. Yesterday I'm out playing 9 holes. The first par 5, I'm out 225 to the middle, 210 to the front. So I pull the 5i. Hit it right on the front. Come to the next par 5, a little more uphill, I have 196 up to the pin, so I pull out the 6i and I flew the green.Yes I play at a higher elevation, but man these irons have some power. I'm working on dialing in distances, so I can be more accurate, but they feel good and fly!
It's incremental. I notice the biggest difference between the 5 and 7 but we're all different.
There is a decent amount between a ZX5 and a ZX4. Both feel good but the 4 feels a little softer to me. I actually prefer the 5 feel though. Perfect amount of thud and snap.
I have the ZX5s now and when I was fit we decided to bend them 2 degrees weak. Helped tighten things up a bit and I haven’t noticed any difference in turf interaction. If you’re already getting plenty of distance but want more accuracy it might be something to look at. Set up like that, they may be some of the most accurate irons I’ve played.The ZX5 irons continue to be loooong for me. Yesterday I'm out playing 9 holes.

When you say "did not hit them much", did you only play 9 holes Or did you have another set of irons to play?
2 degs, do you know diff in height for before and after?
Sorry I don’t. I’m not normally a high ball hitter with my irons so that may have been a factor too. The reference irons we used during that fitting was an old set of Wilson Fluid Feel blades (which weren’t the irons I was gaming at the time) and I told him I wanted something similar in performance but with modern tech and forgiveness. The Srixons are still about a club stronger but I think he did a really great job and these may be my favorite irons of all time. I think the shafts we went with play a big part of that but they’re such a nice combination of forgiveness and turf interaction without all the gapping and accuracy problems I consistently fought with other modern strong lofted clubs.
You won’t be disappointedComments like this are going to make me go out and upgrade to the MK IIs. Damn you!
Those are so
I want to be OldandStiff... wait, I am. Where's the Advil Hon.
So what else could be done to correct club weight other than all that lead tape?
