This is the sleeper of the Srixon iron release this year. Eyes are flocking to the ZX irons, and they’re good, but this utility is special.
I finally got some time to take some picture of the new ZX Utility that I received courtesy of Srixon and The OffCourse podcast 
. I was sent a 2 utility in 18* loft with UST Mayima Recoil 95 F4 (Stiff) shaft. Right out of the box it is a beautiful looking club. It is slimmer and more purposeful in appearance that its predecessor, and it is an improvement to my eye.
The head is more compact, about 2-3mm shorter in blade length, and with a significantly narrower sole that the U85 series. From address, the back of the head does not extend as far behind the top line, and while there is still and appearance of forgiveness, overall its a slimmer look.
I will venture to the golf store soon to get some swings in. I am looking forward to hitting it!

glad you are playing a yellow ball. I think it would be hard to find a yellow one in all that white stuff.. .
Looks great!

Here are a couple more next to the prior model U85. Both 18*. The ZX has a cleaner top line and less chunkiness in back. ZX on the Left.
Looks like less offset as well.

@GraniteRoost is that a slightly thinner sole on the new ZX as well? Looks like it from your pics above
I will be watching this with interest as I have the 18° ZU85 in my bag with the UST Recoil 95 F4 shaft, so seeing any differences for you between them will give me a clue as to what I might expect to see if I was to change

For those who are more curious about how the profile has changed...
Been waiting for your updates! And then you drop this, nice!! How's the consistency been for you?
Three comments:
1) This thing feels impossibly good off center.
2) This feels feels improbably good halfway off the grooves out on the toe
3) I have no business hitting a 2i 110ft. in the air off the deck. But it happened. On demand.
Just got home, more comments soon.
