I had never had a custom fit set of irons before and was truly suprised at the affordability that the CJ Maxima irons from ZT, which allowed me to get some. John Lee was very thorough in fitting the clubs to my game and while I have only used them for a half dozen rounds to this point, I am very, very please. The lie feels very natural to my height and swing plane. The weighted feeling at the end of the club is a big help in slowing down my backswing and "feeling" it out there waiting to be released. I am especially suprised at the high, parabolic trajectory that I get with my 6 and 7 iron now. Used to be they were just like a middle iron, only less distance. Now I can hit them really high and land them more softly on the green. Best $350 I have spent on golf, and I have spent a ton. Customer Service John Lee is the President of Zero Tolerance and he is all about customer service. I couldn't be more pleased with the personal service I received. |

Excellent game improvement irons. John Lee fit me for a set 4 iron-Lob, XLT 70 S shaft (plays softer) and I got just what I asked for: higher trajectory, more distance, straight ball flight. Minimal offset, midsize head. Good looking, good soft steel feel. Shaft feels good and is very stable. ZT makes great clubs and shafts, and this is another one. Customer Service John Lee is very pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable. He has fitted me very well over the phone several times. |

Excellent set of irons for all handicap levels. Specially like the finish, which is polished but not to a bright shine. Excellent control, specially on the short irons. Long irons produce a higher ball flight which lands very softly. I like very much the iron toplines, which are not blade like, but are not as thick as the Callaway style irons.

Set Makeup: 3-SW ZT-XLT-70 Graphite Shafts (S), SW @ D3 Lamkin Croosline Soft-Cord Classic Grips 1/2" over length Kept lofts as received from ZT Pre-Play Comments: Appearance, or in other words, "Curb Appeal: Clean, thin top line instills comfort when setting up over the ball. Not too big and not too small. Smaller than the later day shovel-like game improvement irons. A tad larger than blades on the market. The weight flow scheme lets you know all you need do is put a decent swing on these and the ball will be airborne with ease. Medium width sole that is cambered to make working shots not too difficult. Satin finish is a plus. Very easy on the eyes, and quite durable for soft steel. Judging from the number of "ooohs and aaahs" received from fellow golfers when they saw these clubs, I would say they are definitely winners. Post-Play Comments (2 Rounds): I have never played an iron with as much feel and accuracy. Head and shaft combo is perfect. I know exactly where the head is at all times during the swing. At impact, the feel is exquisitely soft, and the ball literally "explodes" off the clubface. Ball impressions are "in the center", and I have yet to toe or heel a shot. Although I have hit three shots a groove or two low, the shots were still within 8'-10' of the hole. With this combo I can point and shoot. When looking at these heads and shafts I wanted a higher trajectory...these give me that, and more. The measure of a well made set is when the long irons swing the same as the wedges. These do! I have yet to hit a shot that left that "stinging" sensation. The XLT-70 shaft is great. At first I thought it would be too light, but once I began playing I realize they fit me just right. I especially like the kick it provides when it releases through the hitting zone. By the way, I am 60 years of age. Oh yea, before I close let me mention distance...don't let the standard lofts fool you. Marry these heads with the right shaft and away you'll go. I have a number of shots like this: 3i/215+, 5i/190+, 8i/155+. Correct me if I am wring, but, are standard lofts supposed to provide shots in those ranges?These are great clubs! Customer Service Unmatched!! John Lee and I had numerous conversations before I purchased the set. He worked with me, listened to what I wanted, made a few recommendations (correct, I might add), and than got the club Similar Products Used: Ram Blades, Arnold Palmer Originals, Lynx Master Models, Callaways |

Specs on my set: - 3-SW set-up - DGS400 shafts, no sensicore insert, SW a bit on the heavy side at D4 - 1/4”-over-standard length - standard lofts (weak by today’s standards) – 23* 3-iron and a 47* PW - lie angles are what I would consider to be standard – 61* 5-iron Appearance: A somewhat blade-like profile at address but with progressive offset (offset starts at 4mm in the 3-iron and minimizes to a .5 mm offset in the wedges). The top line is fairly thin, and from the side profile the top line is slightly more curved than the typical blade. Most of the weight is biased toward the sole and toe of the club; this design is fairly unique in that the whole top 50% of the back of the club appears to have nearly no weight behind it, and is nearly as thin as it is at the top. Finish is satin-like with the hitting area being a sort of “champagne” or “platinum” color. The face area held up well to impact of range balls with only very minimal scratching and marking. The club sets down well behind the ball with only a slight bit of the back weighting noticeable at address in the 3- iron. The sole is what I would consider to be medium thickness - thicker than a typical blade but not as thick as the typical game-improvement iron. Overall, appearance is very classy and should satisfy most players, even some who only prefer blades. Feel: It was easy to track the club throughout swing with the heavier swingweight – club still feels somewhat well-balanced. Feel at impact on good shots and shots that are more than just a bit off feel like a good blade – soft and solid. With the DGS400 shaft, it is easy to sort of feel the shaft flex, the ball compress, and then just fire away of off the clubface ; no Sensicore inserts or Rifle shafts – at least for purposes of vibration reduction – need apply! Shots out towards the heel or toe are a bit “numb”, but it’s a good kind of “numb” – not jarring like most blades or player’s CB irons. The only time a “jarring” feel is encountered is on very thin or topped shots. Overall, Feel is one of this club’s strengths and the decision to use 304 steel by ZT was a good one. Accuracy/Forgiveness - can’t say too much regarding accuracy since it was just a range session but so far it seems very good. The lie angles could probably be a bit more upright for my 6’2” frame, but I didn’t experience any unintentional fading.
