Adam Scott is currently playing all three, all at the same time. Incredible flex.
Adam might have new irons in the bag next week lol!
That said, I definitely think he's maximizing performance by utilizing all the designs within the lineup and imo more people should consider it!
9:58 Over 100 sets of ZX7 on all tours, (PGA, Korn, LPGA, LIV, DP) including Adam Scott, Shane Lowry, Jason Day, JJ Spaun, Sepp Straka, Brooks Koepka, Lucas Glover, Camillo Villegas, Grace Kim, Hannah Green, Inbee Park, Ernie Els, Sam Ryder, Brandt Jobe, Larry Mize...and on and on. Glad you did this review, though. You always do classy reviews. I rely on your stuff.
Really appreciate the support!
ZX7's are great, just have to remember that I have them a bit weak in loft so when you pair that with the higher launch design/bigger head, they can get a bit too high launch in the shorter clubs.
I'm also a bit shallower in terms of delivery, so I tend to produce relatively high laugh angles already.
That said, at the stock 32* loft in the 7i, the head size and design is pretty much picture perfect for the loft!
@@TheEquipmentJunkie The original ZX7 heads spin less than the MKii and also launch lower which is why you see it and not the MKii in more tour bags. Especially the higher speed guys. Being in my 40's now, having less flexibility, and working 60 hours a week has forced me into a more forgiving head like ZX7 vs the Forged Blade, but I have no trouble controlling flight or shape by going to this size head. In other brands, these were issues for me, plus many have that horrible hollow feel. Srixon knocked these out of the park IMO
Your feedback makes a fantastic vlog, keep it up🤙🏽
I enjoy your reviews man
I appreciate your support my man!
I owned a combo set of the Gen 1 ZX5/7. Hit some unbelievable shots with them. They are stacking wins on the men's tours and women's tours for a reason.
Great setup there!
Jason Day and Adam Scott both just recently switched over, which is some big news considering they are free agents and can play anything they want!
What irons are you currently gaming?
@@TheEquipmentJunkie MP 243. Feel and forgiveness are incredible.
Couldn’t agree more!
Love your review ❤ been using MkII ZX7 irons. Simply the best
Appreciate the kind words!
Which irons did you take the ZX7 MKII’s over?
@@TheEquipmentJunkie from the Srixon Z745 irons 😂 in my mind were the best irons until the ZX7 MKII
Great review! Srixon irons may be the best out there…
Much appreciate the support David!
Been playing the ZX-7s for 2 years and they are unbelievable. Srixon Z Forged are the easiest blades to hit
Love it!
Hey The Equipment Junkie, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
welcome to srixon. Love em.
Srixon has always been such an underrated company!
Which model are you currently gaming ?
@@TheEquipmentJunkie zx7 Mk11 love them.
Please review the new Wilson Staff blade and CB
Hoping to get a review done with them around Mid-June ish
I am a mid-handicap player, one thing I don't like about the "game improvement " irons is the offset, it is just too much! any thoughts on that? any recommendations? Thanks!
Vega VSC has the least offset of any game improvement iron I've seen. Mizuno MP 245 are also minimal offset.
Hey!
I would say the best thing you could do in that scenario is try to find the strongest lofted game improvement irons you can and then bend them a few degrees weak to reduce the offset and hit the carry distances/land angles you are looking for.
Vijay Singh and a few other tour players actually bend all of their irons a full club weak to reduce offset. So instead of playing say a traditional 4i-PW, they play 3i-9i bent a club weak.
Something to note though, you will likely need to find a forged set of Game Improvement irons as cast clubs can be tough to bend. Unfortunately I'm not sure which OEM's make forged GI clubs, so may take a bit of research!
@@TheEquipmentJunkieWilson does. Their new dynapoawer game improvement clubs come in a forged option. Could also go with the d9 or d7 forged
Play the ZX5s and they are great 👍
Love it David!
Are you gaming the OG's or the MKII's ?
@@TheEquipmentJunkie MKII
Did you ever test the OG’s? If so, how did you feel they compared?
@@TheEquipmentJunkie did not try those. Upgraded to MkII from Apex 19.
Thank you for taking the time to review these clubs ... excellent analysis .. .I noticed with ZX5's it seemed it was easier for you to fade the ball ... did you notice that too? Thanks for sharing! [You should have more subscribers for these excellent reviews ...add some hash tags in the title]
Thanks for taking the time to comment and support the channel, I really appreciate it!
I personally wouldn't say the ZX5's are easier to fade, but a lot of curving/flighting of the golf ball just comes from face/path, then how good the strike is and in-turn the control over spin.
That said, unfortunately I am not a robot so sometimes certain shots curve more than others lol!
What I can say is offset does have a relatively large impact on face closure, so anything with less offset will tend to be more right bound as opposed to something with less offset; And if you compare the ZX5's I used (bent weak in loft which reduces offset) to the stock lofts with more offset, they would likely be more right biased.
Hope that helps!
Would’ve considered these but they don’t make the blades in a left handed option 😢
thought this was going live today, 😅… now we wait
I promise, it's well worth the wait!
@@TheEquipmentJunkie sick video as always, your level of detail is always really differentiated (particularly with club shaping, how far up the set makes sense for transition, variety of shot types, and turf interaction). 🥃
Great to hear you’re enjoying the reviews!
I try to keep it as short as I can while also being detail oriented.
Truly appreciate your support!
Say a 15 hc can get away with zx7 7-P zx5 4-6?
If you’re a pretty good iron striker then I’d say yes. The ZX7 and ZX5 look very similar at address but personally I thought the forgiveness drop is noticeable.
Really depends on how consistent you are/what you are looking for in terms of performance.
Something you could definitely do is order both a ZX5 and ZX7 7 iron and test them side by side to see which works best. Then build your combo set based off that.
Great review...many golfers will not purchase these as they are marketed heavily to merge and be bought alongside the Cleveland family of wedges under the Dunlop Sports brand umbrella...there are more seamless blends into the wedges from other leading manufacturers like Callaway or Tilteist or Ping...many golfers also want the same brand in their wedges. I personally love the Cleveland wedges especially the tour rack raw...and it be noted that Roger Cleveland designs the Callaway wedges. This video is about feel and aesthetics ...and I suppose its where your loyalty lies...with brand or feel...if i personally had to build a set i'd go Callaway AI SMOKE triple diamond driver and 3 wood, irons Srixon Z - Forged II 3 - PW, Srixon zx7 mk II gap wedge and then wedges will be 54 and 60 degree cleveland raw tour rack 6. all kbs shafts and denali blue shafts in the woods...rounded out by the Wilson Staff Model 8802 putter. You'll be hard pressed to come up with a better set build than this.

In comparison to WHAT???????????
Hey Mark!
Goal of the video was to compare the lineup not necessarily the Srixon's to another OEM.
That said, is there another iron you'd like to see one of these put head-to-head with?
