Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much help each gives. Testers call the hollow-body P·770 forgiving and say distance holds up well on off-centre strikes, especially in the long irons. Opinions on the ZXi7's forgiveness are split: some found mishits still carried well, while others lost noticeable distance and accuracy on heel and toe strikes. Testers also say distance is not the ZXi7's selling point.

Feel goes the other way. The ZXi7 gets the most praise for a soft, solid, responsive strike and a good sound. The P·770 feels solid and stable but less soft, and it gives less feedback. The P·770 earns praise for its clean, blade-like look, while the ZXi7's squarish, slightly thick topline draws complaints. The 7-irons are 33° (P·770) and 32° (ZXi7).

Choose the P·770 Irons if…

you want a compact, traditional-looking iron that adds launch, distance and forgiveness in the long irons, and you don't mind a firmer feel with less feedback on strike.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi7 Irons if…

you strike the ball consistently (roughly a 12 handicap or better) and care most about a soft, responsive feel, consistent spin and shaping shots, more than extra distance.

Which is more forgiving?
The P·770. Testers agree its distance holds up well on mishits, while reviews of the ZXi7 are split and some say heel and toe strikes cost noticeable distance and accuracy.
Which feels softer?
The ZXi7. Its centre strikes are described as soft, solid and responsive, while the P·770 feels solid and stable but not as soft, and it gives less feedback.
Which looks cleaner at address?
Testers widely praised the P·770's clean, blade-like profile. The ZXi7's main criticism is a square, slightly thick topline, especially in the long irons.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Feel and Sound: The ZXi7 Is Softer

Reviewers describe the P·770 as solid and stable. One called it medium-soft with a connected, non-trampoline sensation, and another said it feels like a forged iron despite the hollow build. In one testing video it was among the best-feeling irons the tester had hit, but another said it lacks the ultra-soft feel of the MB or MC, and one reviewer listed less feedback as a con. Its sound was described as quiet, low-pitched and less hollow than expected. The ZXi7 is repeatedly called soft, solid and responsive, and its sound was praised as excellent and solid. Two reviewers noted that its feel or sound falls off on heel, toe or off-centre strikes. The ZXi7 feels softer on centre hits, while the P·770 feels more even across the face.

Looks: The ZXi7's Topline Divides Opinion

The P·770's looks drew consistent praise. Reviewers describe a traditional, compact silhouette with rounded toe shaping and clean, blade-like backs, and one said even the 3-iron looks manageable. One reviewer noted a thinner topline than the P790, though one testing video called it slightly thicker but refined. Opinions on the ZXi7 are split. Several reviewers found the topline squarish or thicker than expected, especially in the long irons, while others described it as thin or fine-to-medium with next-to-no offset. On paper, the 7-iron offset is 0.09 in on the P·770 and 0.11 in on the ZXi7. The P·770's shape pleases more consistently, and the ZXi7's squarer edge depends on taste.

Forgiveness: The P·770 Is More Consistent

Several reviewers rated the P·770's forgiveness highly. They said mishits keep their distance and dispersion stays consistent, and they credited the hollow body and speed pocket. One testing video was more cautious: the tester found it easy to hit and confidence-inspiring, but saw noticeable distance loss on strikes low on the face. Reviewers were split on the ZXi7. Some found it very forgiving, with mis-strikes still carrying well and good ball speed on heel hits. Others said heel and toe strikes cost distance and dispersion, and one reviewer pointed players who want more help toward the ZXi5 or ZXi4. The P·770's forgiveness is more consistently praised, while ZXi7 testers disagree on how much help it gives.

Launch and Spin: The P·770 Helps Long Irons Up

Several reviewers said the P·770's long irons launch easily and fly high, even on low strikes, and credited its lower centre of gravity. Its spin is described as more than the P790's but less than the P7MB and P7MC's, and still enough to hold greens. One tester found a low shot came out higher than intended. Reviewers also said the ZXi7 launches well, with long irons that don't fly low, and one saw a higher flight than expected on the course. Two reviewers praised its consistent spin through the set. One testing video found its launch and spin slightly lower than a rival's, with less stopping power. The 7-irons are 33° and 32°. The P·770 is praised more for added height, and the ZXi7 for consistent spin.

Workability: Split on the P·770

Reviewers were split on how well the P·770 shapes shots. One found it easy to shape shots both ways, and one testing video showed a little draw and low stingers. Another reviewer said shots can be shaped if wanted. One tester, a natural drawer, found it not very workable and struggled to hit fades. The ZXi7 was discussed less, but the comments were positive. One reviewer said it is built for workability and lets players shape shots and flight the ball down both ways, and another said it offers more workability than the ZXi5. The ZXi7's shot-shaping comments are fewer but all positive, while views on the P·770 are mixed.
