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.
The contemporary Z muscle design precisely distributes weight from the heel into the toe, locating the center of gravity in the center of the face for solid feel.
The traditional profile of the Z•M Forged irons includes minimal progressive offset for Tour validated ball flight, trajectory control and workability. The high performance, narrow sole reduces skipping in firm conditions while appropriate bounce reduces digging.
Z•M Forged irons also feature dual hosel lengths with a shorter hosel in the long irons to bias weight low for improved launch and a longer hosel in the mid and short irons to manage flight.
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.
