Srixon ZX7 vs Mizuno Pro 223 irons – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing and contrasting Srixon’s ZX7 irons and Mizuno’s Pro 223 irons. WRXer ‘Casey_0507’ is looking for an in-depth comparison between the two heads, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and experiences with both irons in our forum.

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.

Cactus Jack: “In my hands the irons feel very different. The ZX7s have an almost dense heavy feeling strike similar to a Muria, while the 223s felt fast and extremely soft with all the classic Mizuno DNA one can handle. Within a few swings with each club you’ll likely have a clear cut favorite.”
JoeFrigo: “I’ve got both 223’s and zx7’s on order… From what I remember, when I hit both, 223’s had slightly faster ball speed. Both were comparable spin. ZX7’s have a thicker topline.”
wam78: “I’ve been a Mizuno fanboy for a long time. Since I played mp14’s in the late 90’s right out of high school. Off and on love affair with them. Whenever they come out with a new iron release, they always pique my interest. I have not hit the 223 yet, but I will in the very near future. Very interested to see the looks at address and see the numbers and ball flight. However, this is my first time playing Srixon (zx7’s), and man have I been impressed. The feel is everything I want from an iron in this category. Very forgiving, sole design really works for my delivery. My numbers are absolutely spot on. They allow me to play the ball I want to play without too much or too little spin. Just a fantastic iron!”
kwainio: “I just did a fitting this week. At address they both look very similar, enough so that I didn’t really have a preference. The 223s definitely felt hotter off the face, spun somewhere around 200-300rpms less, but overall pretty negligible. I ended up going 223s.”

At the 2019 Valspar Championship, Englishman Paul Casey took the trophy at the Copperhead Course for the second year in a row. On a difficult Sunday, Casey’s 1-over 72 was good enough for a one-stroke victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Jason Kokrak as Dustin Johnson faltered.

Mizuno’s Senior Club Engineer, Chris Voshall told us Casey’s somewhat surprising setup in his long irons is simply the product of Casey hitting the windows he wants to with the particular clubs in question.

“It’s all based on the height of the ball flight,” Voshall said. The MP-25 3-iron was more penetrating and better for him off the tee, so he kept it in there.”
