GolfWRX Spotted: Srixon ZX7 and ZX5 irons, and ZX Utility
Summer is “Testing SZN” (that’s short form for season, for the older generation) and with the PGA Tour back in action, it means the traveling tour vans are also on the road and slowly getting stocked with new products that will potentially be launching at retail in this fall.
The company most likely to send new clubs to their tour van looks to be Srixon, since we recently spotted some new designs on the USGA Conforming List: two irons, ZX7 and ZX5, along with a hollow utility named ZX.

It looks at though Srixon plans to stick to its number naming system, with the “7” model being the smaller players cavity and the “5” model being a midsized full cavity back with an undercut.
Right now, the ZX5 seems to be the more aggressive departure in terms of looks with what appears to be a deeper cavity than previously seen from that line.
The outlier here is the ZX Utility, which appears to be quite compact, and since we only have the one picture it would be interesting to know if these may transition into an iron set, which would make it the first hollow cavity iron from Srixon—although this has been done with sister brand Cleveland Golf.
With the continued popularity of the older 745 irons on tour, it will be exciting to see if the cosmetics from address of the ZX7 and ZX5 will take of the styling of those well-loved clubs.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

You could never mistake a Srixon iron for anything else..
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it and the Z seres certainly ain’t broke, its just a few tweaks here and there to freshen it up
The ZX5 does look all angles and busy, but regardless, it will perform perfectly like all Srixon irons do

Mixing straight lines and curves takes away a possible ‘Clean’ look for the ZX7.

That little diamond part on the back of the zx5 and zx7 look alot like the mp53’s…and that’s a great thing.

I agree, these irons look nice. The back of the zx5 appears very similar to the Mizuno JPX 919 series.

Not surprising, I guess Srixon still wants everyone to still play the z745!
