In our forums, our members have been talking about the ball they currently play and why. WRXer ‘Funger’ kicks off the thread, saying: “Personally try to stay away from the X models due to the clicky sound/feel off the face when putting/chipping. Currently playing the pro v1 as it’s doing the trick this season.”

And our members have been talking about the ball they currently game, and explaining just why in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

HappyGilmore22: “Pro V1 and Pro V1x left dash depending on the course and weather conditions. Pro V1x left dash works well when it’s soft/wet and not windy. The more I use the Pro V1, the more it seems to be the better ball all around for me. Use these based on feel with irons and around/on the green and keeping spin down to more optimal numbers. Have tested TM TP5x and it performs well I just don’t like the feel. Have a dozen Bridgestone Tour B X I just started to hit some balls around on the course and it’s a good performer similar to the Pro V1.”
Bamabowtie: “Bridgestone BX and TM TP5.”
LukeDonaldsTiger: “Srixon Q-Star Tour, currently. Feels nice and is long off the tee. Could spin a little more around the greens, but you get used to it.”
phil70750: “I use the 2020 Chrome Soft with Triple Track. A much-improved ball over the last generation of this model. It is a little firmer but not as “clicky” as the “X”, and has more spin than the last version.”
GMR2iron: “Titleist AVX. Love the low spin off the driver, and have no trouble spinning them with the irons.”

Jason Day on his recent switch into Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 MK II irons

Over the past year, equipment free agent Jason Day has played a number of different iron sets looking for his right match.

In May 2023, he was using a TaylorMade P770 4-iron to go along with a set of P7MC irons (5-PW).

In August 2023, he had switched to a set of TaylorMade P7TW irons (5-PW) to go with his P770 4-iron.

Then, in February 2024, he was into a full set of P760 irons (4-PW).

Now, Day has switched it all the way up, and he’s currently using a new set of Srixon ZX5 MK II long irons (3 and 4), and Srixon ZX7 MK II mid-to-short irons (5-PW).

On Tuesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Day told GolfWRX.com that he made the switch before the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, because he was looking to reduce spin.

“For me, they spin a little bit less,” Day said. “They’re very good out of fairway bunkers, too. I haven’t played too much in the rough yet, so I still need to get an understanding of how the come out of the rough, but for me, it was all about spin control.”

“I had tested the previous model to these [Srixon ZX7’s], but I only had one club. And I was getting some inconsistent spinny with my previous irons, so I just decided to at least give them another shot. My biggest thing was to take spin off, because I was spinning it like crazy.”

The Srixon ZX7 MK II irons are known for producing low spin numbers, and pairing them with Day’s typical ultra-stiff True Temper X7 shafts make them certified spin killers.

If it’s spin he wanted to reduce, then Day may have found his match with the new Srixon irons.
