What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 31° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show. Lie angles and lengths match as well, so any fitting adjustment made to one set would carry straight over to the other.
Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Forged or multi-material heads that keep a compact look while adding face technology and stronger lofts for distance. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as forged multi-material. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The ZX5 arrived 2 years after the Z 585, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.
Which should you choose?
The Z 585 and ZX5 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

What is the loft difference between the Srixon Z 585 and ZX5?
There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 31° 7-iron.
