The Srixon ZXi5 and the Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro both sit in the players distance category, but they get there differently. The JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro runs stronger lofts, with a 29.5° 7-iron against 31° on the ZXi5. That 1.5° gap is worth roughly 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed. The Mizuno set also runs 4-iron to AW, with a 43° PW and a 48° AW, while the ZXi5 stops at a 44° PW. The ZXi5 is the set with Forged, Face Insert, Variable Face Thickness and Progressive Lofts tags on file. Editorial scores are close. Both took 78/100 from Golf Digest, and MyGolfSpy gave the ZXi5 84 and the JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro 86.
Pick the JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro if distance is the priority and you want the AW included to sort out wedge gapping. Pick the Srixon ZXi5 if feel matters more, since it is the forged set with the listed face technology, and it saves $50 at $1,049 against $1,099. Neither has a forgiveness edge on file. Distance and the extra wedge point to the Mizuno. Feel and price point to the Srixon.
