Description Titleist Z•M Forged irons are high performance, muscle back forged irons with traditional feel, superior looks and shot control for the highly skilled player.
Summary: I got these irons for a real good price(under 300$) with x100 shafts. I was so excited to go out and play, but I was shocked to notice that from 6iron and up, the ball goes nowhere! I didn't want to believe this because I really loved these irons, so I gave them a chance. But after a month of playing with them, I've come to the conclusion that these irons suck. They don't even feel forged, they have a sort of clanky feeling to them, and the worst part is that I've lost distance with these irons, about 1 and half club length. What I hate the most about these irons is that it doesn't reward me for making a good swing. Yea it goes at the target, but I like to be rewarded with that "buttery" flush shot feeling that I get with most any other blade. But not this one. I am extremely disappointed with titleist on this onee :( These irons had a lot of potential. In conclusion, they look great, but suck.

Summary: After owning this set for an year and played 50+ games with it, I am now confident that I can give it an honest evaluation.
I was a high handicapper playing in the high 90s when I switch to Z-M from Hogan Apex Edge Pro. Over the course of the year, I was able to refine my swing with the help of the extreme response from the Z-M and is now shooting in the low 80s. I wouldn't say I am 100% confident in shaping my every shot but thin sole and small club head do help a bit.
In terms of feeling at impact, it is not as buttery as my previous Hogan set but rather a solid "click", just softer than most of my cast iron sets.
Overall its a good set of muscle back club and compare to most major brands' muscle backs, this set comes slightly cheaper and that was a main reason I chosed it.

Summary: the zm's are very eye appealing irons. DONT BUY THESE IRONS IF YOU DO NOT HIT THE BALL SOLIDLY 90% OF THE TIME. the ball comes off the club face very low and penetrating. these are very workable irons and very solid. this is my first set of "player" irons and i will never go back to the very forgiving sets. i have rifle 5.5 shafts in them and would maybe try the project x. i play every day and shot a course record 62 this summer but still think these are tough to hit sometimes. if you can find a set for under $550, buy them. otherwise try mizuno or miura or ping. once again do not try to play these irons if you aren't a great iron player or you dont get to play every day or at least every other day.

Summary: I purchased these last year and am very satisfied. But Titleist comes out with the MB iron which looks like a true muscle back and very similar to my 690 MBs. Because I'm enjoying these irons so much I'll pass on their latest offering.Aside from changing the lofts I do not think the skilled golfer will see any difference. I'm using a set of Mizuno MP7s now and aside from the 6 iron being comprable to a 7 iron today the clubs perform just as well.
