I wanted them until I hit them. For some reason they felt a little dead to me and when i hit them next to the AP2 it wasn't even close. I had the 690.MB's like you have and feel of those is better than the ZB.

I'm currently playing the ZM blades, which are similar in feel to the ZB set, although a bit tougher to hit in the longer irons. Personally, I love them. Having hit both, I'd prefer the ZB however.

They aren't as soft feeling as some other forged sets, but the feedback and feel is preferable to me over the AP2, which although sweet, lack the true feedback a blade can give.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

I love mine and won't get rid of them until they are bare metal. Originally, they were at the bottom of my list. After I hit them a few times on different occasions they went to the top. Preferred them over the AP2. They were tied with the MP-67s at the top. I could have went either way and been happy, but got a better deal on the ZB and haven't looked back.

One of the things I love about them is when you hit them right, they feel pure, when you don't, you know exactly where you went wrong. I want to know that if I come up short, it is because I missed the sweet spot by a little, and not wonder if I misjudged the shot.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
