Srixon ZX5 vs Taylormade M2 Driver

Verdict

Overall, the Srixon ZX5 irons receive positive reviews for their traditional look at address, forgiveness, and distance. The wider blade length and thicker sole provide good turf interaction, making them suitable for players who tend to hit heavy shots or play in softer conditions. While they may not be the most workable, they still allow for some shot shaping. The ZX5 irons are also praised for their feel and sound off the face, with some reviewers noting an increase in distance compared to their previous clubs. The Modus steel 105 shafts are highly recommended. Some reviewers mention trying other brands but ultimately choosing the ZX5 due to their performance and price. The only potential downside mentioned is variability in distance with the attack wedge, but this is addressed in the Z5 version. Overall, the Srixon ZX5 irons are a solid choice for players looking for a traditional-looking, forgiving iron with good distance.

Verdict

Overall, the Taylormade M2 Driver receives positive reviews for its sound, feel, and performance. It is considered a no-nonsense driver that stands up and goes, with an adjustable hosel but no other movable weight features. The D-type driver is recommended for those who struggle with keeping it straight. The re-release of the driver is also praised as a great club. However, some reviewers find it pricey, and some struggle with consistency in their swing. It is recommended for those with a fast swing to use a stiff shaft, while those with a normal or slower swing should use a regular shaft. The driver is often paired with other Taylormade clubs, as well as clubs from other brands such as Nike, Callaway, and Ping.
