The Srixon ZXi5 (2026) 7-iron is 2° stronger than yours (31° against 33°). Part of any extra distance with that club comes from the loft, not the face.
Its 7-iron is also 0.25" longer (37.25" against 37"), which adds distance and makes the club harder to control.

What the brands claim Manufacturer claim
4 claims
TaylorMade P·770
- A compact forged iron with tungsten moved around to add forgiveness without a bigger head. ↗
- It uses FLTD CG: the center of gravity drops in the long clubs to launch higher. ↗
Srixon ZXi5 (2026)
- Players-performance iron; Srixon says an AI-designed face (MainFrame iQ) trims face mass by up to 8% for more speed. ↗
- Positioned as a forged-feel iron that adds speed, forgiveness and consistency over a pure players' iron. ↗

Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
2 min read
Both are forged, tungsten-weighted irons still sold as current sets, and the stock sets launched at $1,399.99 for the P·770 and $1,499.99 for the ZXi5. The lofts are where they part ways.
The ZXi5 7-iron is 2° stronger than yours (31° against 33°) and a quarter-inch longer (37.25" against 37"). Part of any extra distance comes from loft and length, not the face. More to the point, the two sets are spaced differently: the ZXi5's 7-, 8- and 9-irons (31°, 35°, 39°) each sit between two of your clubs (29°, 33°, 37°, 41°). The ends agree: both 4-irons are 22°, both AWs are 50°, and the pitching wedges are a degree apart.
So switching would move the yardage of almost every short iron you own. Srixon says the AI-designed MainFrame iQ face trims face mass by up to 8% for more speed; that's the brand's claim, not a result we can hold against the P·770. TaylorMade doesn't publish a 7-iron offset for the P·770, so we can't compare that either.
A cross-brand switch is mostly about fit and feel, which specs can't settle, so hit both on a launch monitor at a fitting.
Our read: keep the P·770 unless you actually want short irons at 31°, 35° and 39°.
