Tyson,

Yes, I have a ZXi4 review that will be up in the next month or two.

Best,

Hi Matt – Love the reviews? Do you have one coming for the Zxi4? I found it interesting that you mentioned you wouldn’t recommend last year’s ZX4 MKii for a high handicap. Curious if they’ve made improvements in the ZXi4 that make the new iteration better geared towards a higher handicap.

Steve,

I’m not in the business of telling people they can’t play certain clubs based on their handicap, but I would definitely recommend that a 25 handicap test these before buying. If you are used to bigger clubs where the lower CG does more of the work for you, these could be a tough transition.

Bet,

Matt

Love the look of these irons. Could a 25 handicap index enjoy playing them? Are they too demanding?

I’ve got one round and a little range time on my set built to my specs. Went ZXi4 on the 5 iron and then ZXi5 6-GW. I agree with your assessment Matt. At first glance I was a bit taken back by the size as the soles are a bit more game improvement than they looked on the Website. However, I quickly came to my senses as a mid capper and said this is exactly what I need! It’s early in the honeymoon but I don’t see an annulment in my future!

Tried several irons and recently got fitted for the ZXi5s. Looks, sound and feel were terrific for this sweeper but the performance exceeded all of those. Everything I was hoping for…now only if this snow would melt

Thanks for another great review Matt.

Conor,

I think of the ZXi7 as a players iron.

I don’t know.

If you see the zxi5 as a game improvement iron, does that mean you see the zxi7 as more of a players distance iron as opposed to a pure players iron?

Great review Matt. Do you know where Srixon is forging their irons presently? They used to be forged by Endo but I heard last year from a fitter they now have their own forging house. Thanks…
