Back in February Srixon added to the ZX lineup with the new ZX4 irons. The ZX5 and ZX7 had been announced a few months prior, but rumors were swirling about the new hollow body style that would accompany them.
Today we are in the THP Tech Studio for another episode of TESTED! Where you see the swings and get a full breakdown of the data on this new set of Srixon irons. The video below starts off with some technology talk, then hops into the hitting bay for some swings. Finally, we will walk you through the information that the Foresight GCQuad presented and give you some final thoughts.
This episode is full of information and data. Can forgiveness and distance meet performance and control? What about feel and sound and how it relates to this style compared to the previous Srixon iron releases in the lineup?
After watching the THP TV video above, what are your initial thoughts on the Srixon ZX4 irons? Is it a set that would fit your game either fully or partially?
For more information on this specific set or anything from the Srixon ZX line of clubs, balls or accessories check out their website at www.srixon.com.
I think I could get away with these in the bag at least until April or May of next year haha
He only has a single iron.
Yeah, you had me nodding in constant enthusiasm until the end. I would argue that. Everyone has their preferences though.
Sounds like a really good time out there! Love that you were surprised it wasn’t higher.
Hahaha, It’s so funny how personal sound is. Thanks man, it was really fun to hit.
The z585 is on the right and ZX4 on the left.
Very surprised…
How do you compare the 585 to the current Srixon clubs hey, do you still have your full set
Hello @4hourrule I no longer have a full set of z585’s. Just the PW and 7 iron for lessons and to practice with.
When I did play the z585s I found them VERy forgiving. IMHO they are more forgiving than the ZX5’s; but I know many will differ in this opinion @Jman .
But the ZX4’s are just point and shoot. Straight, easy to launch, great ball flight and long. If I was playing more I think I would do a mix set with the ZX5’s. I also thought of getting a set of z585s and reshafting them, but the ZX4’s are just a no brainer to play.
Hope this helps and stay safe!
Yeah, we definitely differ on the 85’s vs X5’s

I promise you, the ZX7 4-iron is a winner. Wish I’d kept mine when I switched from ZX7s to ZX5s. In fact, wish I’d kept the entire ZX7 set.
I am feeling the ZX4. No need to shape or anything like that, I just want a fairway or tee ball bomber.
Never even took wrapper off of 4 or 5 iron when I tried the set. Maybe I should have.
I am still not fully convinced but if you are swinging well it is definitely a beast of a club.
It’s SO good, and easy to hit off the deck too.
Pretty sure the 4 iron is a necessity.
Got any lying around to test out?
Added to the ZX arsenal in a big way.

Two different worlds. ZX4 SGI almost mini hybrids. Where as the ZX5 is a GI/Players distance combo. ZX5s are much softer feel and very forgiving just not as forgiving as the 4’s. Need to demo. Many times players hate clubs because they purchase a club not fit for their game. PGASS, GG and others all have Srixon fitting carts, so you should be able to find the best fit. GLWS!
Do you think the modus 125 could be a good shaft pairing?
I can’t see you going wrong with these.
BETTER. I just got my set and LOVE THEM.
I would try a Nippon option. I found the ZX4s a bit harsh. But thats just me…
The "sole notches" at either end of the blade basically reduce drag and improve how it gets through the ground. Al least, that is my interpretation. From the ZX4 technology tab on the ZX4 page:

I think it could help a bit out with Slightly less heel or toe drag or grab in certain conditions.
A bit harsh on thin hits. I actually liked the feedback. I could tell exactly how thin a strike was.
I though the ZX4 were pretty plush. Just my opinion.
Awesome that you have both. How does turf interaction compare for you?
