I think Violet is a very similar profile except softer in the handle. Wouldn't be quite what I'm looking for.

I like the Green that I have in my driver and three wood but would love to see something a touch stronger throughout the profile. I kind of hope this is it because I like the paint scheme!

Yup, take my money!!

Outside of a golfer who has a mental block with a traditional driver, I've never understood why someone would want to replace a 460cc head with mini driver. If it's the loft or shaft length in the mini driver that's producing consistency, both can be adjusted in a 460cc head without losing any forgiveness. I do think mini driver can make sense as a 3 wood replacement for guys who primarily hit 3 wood off the tee or who are comfortable hitting the mini driver from the turf. As someone who rarely fits 3 wood into greens, I've been interested in tinkering with one myself.

Not my thing but not a bad looking putter either. Nice to see a bunch of different neck options -- hopefully these make their way through if it ever comes to retail.

If you removed the piece stamped "experimental" and added an alignment dot, you'd have a pretty cool looking blade.

Great point. While I did notice a bit more of a round toe in the ZXi7s, I didn't find it overly pronounced outside of the PW which is a bit rounder with a slightly higher toe. To my eye, the toe on the ZXi7s actually makes the club appear more proportionate to the hosel/heel section. Again though, this is just to my eye. I've played and enjoyed some sets with squarer toes (older Miura) and some sets with rounder toes and enjoyed both looks so perhaps I'm a bit of an equal opportunity consumer in this department! What I will say is that I would be very surprised in the shaping of the toe causes any concern after getting acquainted with the clubs. To me, it's in the same ballpark as many of its competitors in terms of shaping, even if the toe section is a touch more voluptuous! I stopped by my local Golf Galaxy tonight and snapped some shots. ZXi7 7 iron in the middle, TaylorMade P770 to the left, and I threw in a Mizuno 241 on the right for reference. Hope this helps!

Hi Everyone, I thought it was about time I check in with an update. I had planned on posting final thoughts about a week ago but held off to get a few more holes in with the irons. I am about a month into testing and have 10-15 rounds into the set. I’ll be honest, the golf that I’ve played since my full-length review has essentially confirmed the high praise that I initially provided. I take the opportunity to provide an unbiased review seriously and don’t have any qualms about pointing out the shortcomings of a product. In this case, I simply can’t find anything substantial to gripe about. Srixon has produced an iron that looks good, performs exceedingly well, and tics boxes in each category. I think the full-length review does a pretty good job of covering the ZXi7 in detail but I did want to provide some standout observations from my extended play with the set: Now that I’m more comfortable with the ZXi7s, they are easily a club longer than the Blueprint S. The sole grinds have also provided enough confidence that I can steepen my swing to coax an extra gear out of these irons, providing a great option for in between yardages and short sided pins. The ability to muscle up and rip into a club when needed has definitely upped the fun factor for me on the course. I didn’t mention stopping power in my previous review, but after some testing on trackman, I think it’s worth noting here. Stopping power with the Srixons is more pronounced than the Blueprints. While I’ve never had an issue holding greens, I can one hop and stop these clubs all the way down into the mid irons, with long irons taking a quick seat after only 5-6 feet of roll out. This is an important feature to point out, as the distance gain is not coming at the sake of control. The forgiveness of the set is downright remarkable and has saved me numerous strokes on the course. A minor miss with these irons is almost indistinguishable to a flushed shot, a pretty bad miss is somewhere on the green, and a dog turd of a strike leaves me chipping. I live up the street from a big box golf store and have tested most everything on the market. For my swing, there is no players cb as forgiving and most sets don’t even come close. This is an area where the ZXi7 really makes a statement and I think the majority of single digit handicappers will get along very well with these clubs. I do notice that this set likes to turn over. This is something that I also observed in previous models of the ZX7. We’re certainly not talking about a draw biased iron, but I do find the set to favor the left side more than your usual suspects. This provides for a consistent shot shape and miss pattern but may be of note to some consumers. I mentioned this is my longform review, but I think folks who tend to miss left may consider ordering their set on the flatter side. One area I would amend from the longform review is the rating for feel. Initial impressions led to a very rare A tier ranking, but I think these deserve S tier status. The more I’ve used them, the more that I’ve come to appreciate a balance of feedback that I would pin somewhere between a Mizuno and a Miura forging. Feel is subjective but this set doesn’t leave much on the table and should satisfy even the most discerning player. Part of the reason these feel so good is because they are SOFT. I have noticed a bit more bag chatter and face wear than I saw with the Blueprint S. This isn’t an issue for me, but I suppose some may want to sheath their set in iron headcovers (blasphemy!) to keep them looking new for longer. From the standpoint of aesthetic at address, I am really pleased with the looks of the ZXi7. In reading over previous topics on the irons, a lot seems to be made of the slightly thicker top line and offset. Frankly, I haven’t run into any concerns whatsoever on the golf course. Srixon has done a wonderful job of manufacturing these irons to create a footprint that is balanced in offering confidence and refinement at address. I can see why so many tour pros trust these with their livelihood. I mentioned the sole grinds earlier as making quite an impact in my ability to take more aggressive swings. It’s also worth noting that, as a relative picker (1*-2* down with 7 iron), the VT soles have also performed well on stock swings. If anything, I’ve noticed a slight tendency to miss thin which has generally produced a more consistent shot with far better distance control front to back. I can understand why the VT soles are polarizing, most golfers don’t like change and Srixon is on the cutting edge here. However, the vast majority of golfers should get along well with the VT sole set up. The grinds will be money for all steep to semi-steep swingers and will often offer more versatility (as in my case) for shallower swings. Bottom line, even if you are concerned about the soles, they are worth a test. Perhaps the biggest nod I can give the set is that it will be remaining in the bag moving forward. I came into this experience overjoyed with my Ping Blueprint S gamer set. The set was professionally fit, custom built, and had me playing some solid golf. I still love the Blueprints and certainly do not want to throw shade on a fantastic set of golf clubs, but they will be hitting the BST in the coming weeks. For my swing, the ZXi7s are nearly a club longer and significantly more forgiving while offering all the consistency, shapability, and feel I’d expect from a players CB. After a month with the set, I can’t say that I have much interest in playing anything else. In sum, golf is hard and the ZXi7s have made it a bit easier – they aren’t leaving the bag. Thanks to all of you who have read along with my ramblings over the last month. I hope that some of the information shared has been helpful to folks interested in this set. Of course, I won’t be going anywhere and will continue to keep up with the thread so please keep the questions coming. I’ll also share any updates or fresh takes that come up over the coming months. In closing, I want to thank @GolfWRX_Official and @Srixon / Cleveland Golf for the chance to review a truly amazing set of sticks. The WRX community has been a part of my life for well over a decade now and I am so appreciative for the opportunity to interact with community and share some feedback. Happy Golfing, Rob

These look great!

Sure, it can work for some. The downside, especially for better players, can sometimes be a loss of control with the lighter weight. However, other players match up well with the lighter weight and see benefits. You certainly have more than enough swing speed for Modus 105X if you are sitting in the 110 range with driver. Two things to watch out for: 1. I haven't seen many players improve a hook with a lighter weight shaft, even in a stiffer flex. Again, this isn't always the case, just something to be aware of. 2. Watch spin rates. Modus 105X is said to be mid spin but the shaft profile is pretty player dependent related to spin. It wouldn't surprise me if spin drops too low with it. Not to drop another brain worm, but another less drastic option could be $ Taper 125 S+ or even some X-flex full weight shaft options soft stepped to fight the hook. If you are looking to add a bit of spin to the irons, I'd be interested to see what KBS Tour X SS or KBS Tour S+ look like.
