HOW to Choose the RIGHT SRIXON Iron for your HANDICAP now although I hate talking in general terms about the right clubs golfers should be using for what handicap, there are some correlations. Club head speed and handicap are largely linear and correlative so by breaking down the ZX4, ZX5 and ZX7 into club head speed and delivery differences, we can see when we either need to blend into the upper model or even go into hybrids.

Hi Jay, i like almost every video you do as you have a great style but for an average golfer like me (very average) this video is gold. I spent years not understanding spin rates, land angles etc. and from watching your previous videos all of that makes sense now. I went for a Mizuno fit (horrible), TM p790 fit (great) and a Srixon fit (good). Because I'd seen all of your videos i knew what questions to ask at the fittings & what i was looking for. Even though the TM fitting was the best experience overall, the club that suited me most was the ZX5, good launch and land angle and whether I'm just improving or it was the v sole, i have less fat shots. With the custom fitting, adjusting the length and the lie were the final pieces of the puzzle. The iron market in particular was the most confusing for me, game improvement, super game improvement, players, players distance etc. it took me a long time and with your help, work out what i actually needed. Jay i'd put a link in to your much watched correct iron choice video as i think it's relevant here. To all the viewers out there that aren't members consider it, Jay is technically excellent with so much knowledge and such a nice guy to boot. Jay is the only you tube channel that i am a member of and it starts at less than £1 a week!

Love the lower hit speeds, and it gives us such an easy way of replicating (the way you hit the ball so effortless) your swing, which is by far the most efficient (very little effort) I've ever seen. Kudos man. This channel should have one million subscribers. Guys spread the word, so we help this guy, which in turn helps us all. I was sick and tired of some other reviewers smashing the ball at 200 yards (7 club) which even themselves when they go on the golf course, they only hit it at 170.

@rich_k970 10 месяцев назад

Your iron reviews are the best on the internet. Your explanations of what's produced and why, at different swing speeds are priceless.

@garyneal4189 10 месяцев назад

I took the zx5. But instead of blending. I put modus 105 pro tour shafts. Then had them lofted to match the zx7. For me this combination gets me great flight (high) distance is shorter because of loft change. But lighter shaft gives me more speed so they pay each other off. Just what I did. But showing you can Taylor your shafts and clubs together. Love my zx irons

Fantastic video; you are inspirational for an amateur golfer with slow swing speed

@midlifebiker7424 10 месяцев назад

As a lefty, we dont get all the options and certainly cant get fitted as noone holds stock. Ive bought and sold over 4 years to get my current bag. Still game the Z785s but swapped the 4i to a ZX4 recently. Im going to swap the 5i to a zx5 too for more confidence and a fuller swing. Thanks for the vid, explains a lot. I dropped my 3W to a 5W with a lighter shaft and got better results. It comes down to trial and error...

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely right, unfortunately as a lefty commonly trial and error is the only way to get to the right combination. As a left hander that plays right handed, I understand how split the 2 half's of the market are and just how much easier it is for a right hander. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍🏻

@grahamdavis8997 10 месяцев назад

Perfect. All the info for the slower swing speed. Thank you! ZX4 may be most forgiving and highest launching loft for loft but no good above 7 or 8 iron for the slower player.

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

Definitely would think above 7 iron to go into hybrids if swing speed is that low 👍🏻👍🏻

@mheberling5939 3 месяца назад

Yo! Thank you for this. I followed the entire video. You answered several questions that I had as well. I have narrowed it down to the ZX7 and the P770. I ma hitting the 770 further by an average of 10-15 yards. I originally felt the p770 was the club, but I'm liking the ZX7 for some reason, even though it's not producing the distance.

@adambarnes4191 10 месяцев назад

This is the one I've been waiting for. I'm buying a new set this winter to replace my J15CB's. Zx7/Zx5 is top of my list. T150/T200 will get a run too. I've been wondering how to blend this set. I will stay with TT x100 unless I give the new Fuji Axiom graphite a go. Great video, nice job adjusting swing speeds.

@rayrapp8929 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Jay, another gem. Interesting comment about hybrids for those with a slower swing speed, which includes me. I do have 3&4 hybrids, but my next set of irons I will consider ditching the 5 iron and buy a hybrid instead. That said, most greens you can run in a 5 iron to the green, probably a long par 4 and they don't normally have bunkers or hazards at the front.

@tuamgolfer 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jay, as a 59 year old golfer, I have blades in 8, 9 and wedges, cavity backed in 6 and 7 and hybrids 3-5. I was swinging in the high seventies, may be 80 on a good day but I found that about 3 years ago my speed started dropping off and this affected my poorer strikes. I went back to my fitter (god bless 4 Counties Golf) and after testing I swapped to graphite shafts in all the irons. The result was more swing speed which helps out on the less than perfect strikes and less wear and tear on the elbows. I’m a 10 handicap and having a blended set and being open minded about what to use keeps me enjoying my golf. Ps, a bit of stretching does wonders as well😁

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

Really glad you are making a change that is helping you enjoy the game as the years progress. I overtime have gone from having a 2 Iron down iron set to now finishing at 5 iron and introducing hybrids into the bag to help with launch etc. Sometimes we just have to grow old gracefully 😁😁👍🏻

@jetro7349 10 месяцев назад

I was fit into Hot Metal Pro's at 92mph swing speed due to being a mid/high handicap and struggled half the season due to large gaps in the shorter irons. Went into ZX7's and my iron consistency and overall G.I.R has dramatically improved

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

Initial poor fitting persuading you to go HMP, distance gaps would be unrealistic at 92mph. Shame that the reasoning behind the choice was, an antiquated view on iron choice depending on handicap. Would have gone Forged at most, but would have also suggested something like the i230 also 🤔👍🏻

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

Massively underrated. They used to say, that the Srixon irons were the poor man's Mizuno (due to both of them being Forged in Japan) but nowadays honestly they are both solid choices and golfers wouldn't be wrong for going either way. The Mizuno still offers more in the way of head choice and I think Srixon could do well introducing a HL (High Launch) version of the ZX4. 👍🏻

@clientbuilding8737 10 месяцев назад

Curious what is your swing speed for a 7i? Carry distance? I tend to hit a high ball and have a shallow divot. Still manage a 6 handicap. Really would like a similar set up. Also looking at new T150, T200 and T350 irons similar blending.

@JeffBishop-f2g Месяц назад

Would be nice to see this same video but with changing the shaft flex to softer flexes as the speed went down from X-stiff to stiff and regular. I think that would be a more realistic comparison and I imagine the descent angle and other data metrics will change.

@sevesellors2831 2 месяца назад

Great review Jay your reviews are the best on u tube because you really break down the data on clubs and I do agree that so many iron lofts have been jacked up and the 5 and 6 iron have become harder to hit and also you need loads of wedges. I’m a senior, handicap level 15/17 swing speed 7 iron 74 mph and ball speed 85. I’m looking for irons with feel, forgiveness, distance and I still want my 5,6 irons for windy days. Tested a few the T350 decent lofts 5 iron at 23 degrees. The G430 nice but set requires 5 wedges. The QI no different to my Stealth which are nice but my 5 is 20 degrees and the 6 23 degrees. Looking at the market for my requirements The T350, ZX4, Cleveland zip ore XL, i530. And Wilson Dynapwr forged might offer those requirements. Would value your advice very much Jay.

@berto882 5 месяцев назад

Hi Jay, recently found your channel and am really enjoying it. I came across this video and I’m starting to look to buy my first set of irons (I started playing 18 months ago and got a friends beginner set). Coming upto my 40th and I’m going to invest in some irons as I’ve managed to add to other parts of the bag along the way. Would it be possible for you to do a video on faster swing speeds? I swing my 7 iron about 95-100 but as I’m relatively new I’m anywhere between a 18-22 handicap. This video has really got me thinking because I presumed I was going to get a game improvement set to help my game but swing speed isn’t really my issue and there are virtually no videos on RU-vid to advise high handicap/faster swing speed golfers. Keep up the excellent content, Rob

@AskGolfNut 5 месяцев назад

Hi Rob, welcome to the channel. You are a fairly rare type of golfer being a mid high handicap but have 7 iron swing speed exceeding mine, that's why there isn't much content out there to guide you on your club choices. I have a video coming out today of the i530 irons. These can be retro spec'd in lofts to make them much more sensible and playable. Still you will have to think more like the 7 iron is the 6 iron and the 6 iron is the 5 iron etc, but with a little custom work on the lofts it's something that could work extremely well for you. The i530 irons are very forgiving and work very well within the players distance category, maybe also something to look at would be the Pro 245 irons, as they can also if needed be slightly increased in loft to not hit everything too far 👍🏻

@seancook2264 10 месяцев назад

Mark Crossfield swears by the ZX4 but only plays up to 6i as the longest iron. I play i230’s up to 6 iron which gaps nicely into 26* hybrid.

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

Mark has an extremely good ability to play knock down shots with his irons so the gapping at faster speed is somewhat negated. Not every, or should I say hardly any golfers truly have that ability and so therefore the easiest way is to remove that complication entirely 👍🏻

@gcoffey223 6 месяцев назад

I am building my set... Just ordered my first iron. Startingbwith tge zx4mk2 4i. Based on how that goes, I will either go either go for one more zx4 in a 5, then transition to the zx5. Gonna end it up with zx7's at the top end, 9,P,A. Depending on how tgevzx5 7 iron goes. I got fitted for them, I know the shaft, (recoil f3) i know the grip size, just don't know where to transition. I figure ill order my next roundbof clubs in a week or two. Srixon felt Amazing and I couldn't tell the difference between the zx5 and zx7 in terms of feel or flight at the range, but I coukd tell tge zx4 was hotter and I WANT that at the back end. Thinking 4,5 zx4 6,7,8 zx5 9-A zx7. Lets see if it pans out. Best

@AskGolfNut 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment. It's a good idea that you are getting involved with blending to get the best performance from all of your irons. One note to specifically take is lofts and those will determine your distance gaps between irons. The ZX4, 5 and 7 are differently lofted and you'll have to order them bent to differing amounts to allow for this. 👍🏻

@mheberling5939 3 месяца назад

Question: The person fitting me suggested a regular shaft since I am a 75mph swing speed. Would you suggest the ZX7 or the P770?

@AskGolfNut 3 месяца назад

Hi there, when it comes to shaft, there is a shaft out there to suit every golfer, we all swing it differently and more importantly we load it differently from everyone else. I've seen low swing speed golfers need Stiff shafts before due to how they load the shaft in transition which enables them to produce more club head speed at impact. Nowadays with the correct measuring equipment, we can measure what bend profile shaft you need from which manufacturer as they are all different and do different things even with the same Regular stamped on them. I think the main difference between the two is the V Sole on the Srixon. Depending on how you impact or interact with the ground, one may work better for you on ground effect miss hits than the other 👍🏻

Something like the JPX923 Hot Metal HL (Srixon unfortunately doesn't have a HL version within their line up), or possibly the JPX923 Forged bent slightly weak or even Mizuno Pro 223 depending on need for forgiveness 👍🏻

@mitchy7051 10 месяцев назад

923 Hot Metal Pro . gives you everything you want in a set of irons, no need for mixed set, excellent price, power and forgiveness in the longer irons and control in the shorter irons. The HL are nice too but the sole is super wide.

@Twopeetfeet 9 месяцев назад

Hi Jay, I came here from watching your ZX7 mkii forgiveness video. I currently game the ZX5 and swing 7i between 90-92mph. I hit the zx5 silly far and after this video, it seems like maybe i need to consider zx7 at least from 7i to PW. I'm a 8 hcp with mishit tendencies slight toe and slightly thin sometimes. Would you agree or just stay with the zx5 power sticks?

@AskGolfNut 9 месяцев назад

Personally with speeds up in the 90s I would look to go a touch more traditional in lofts and loft gaps as if not trying to control distances and also having sensible yardage gaps between irons is paramount. Circa 4 degree gaps and a 7 iron of no more than 32 degrees, preferably 33 or 34 will help this greatly 👍🏻

@lawbinson 10 месяцев назад

Curious, does the CG further back from the face increase peak height by increasing dynamic loft? Or does it increase peak height while delivering the same dynamic loft?

@AskGolfNut 10 месяцев назад

A bit of both go be honest, more so how the ball launches higher due to the 2 CGs being vertically so different, also there is always however small a certain amount of loft twist on the head with the ball hitting higher than the CG. The later is seen very much so with Driver for example and also is affected more by a weaker shaft that will allow more torquing. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍🏻
