Known for delivering high-performance clubs year after year, Srixon is back with the ZXi series - this time, with a cutting-edge tech package that aims to meet the needs of a wide range of golfers.

The video review features all 3 of the new Srixon ZXi models: the ZXi4, ZXi5, and ZXi7 irons, each built with distinct performance goals in mind. Whether you're a tour-level ball striker, a distance-seeking mid-handicapper, or someone after extra forgiveness, Srixon has designed something with you in mind.

A key feature of the ZXi is i-FORGED (Impact Forged) technology, the centerpiece of Srixon’s new approach to feel and performance. Ryan highlights how this innovation enhances responsiveness and shot feedback, especially when combined with Condensed Forging, a proprietary process that strengthens specific areas of the clubhead. This allows Srixon to use softer materials without sacrificing durability—resulting in a buttery feel that players will love.

In the ZXi7 irons, Ryan notes their Tour-inspired shaping and refined feel. These are built for purists who demand ultimate control and workability. The inclusion of an expanded PureFrame, forged directly behind the sweet spot, reduces unwanted vibrations and gives each strike a clean, focused response.

Meanwhile, the ZXi5 and ZXi4 feature the MainFrame technology, now in its third generation. The upgraded design also feature a wider toe-side channel, redistributing weight for lower CG and increased MOI, which translates to more forgiveness, better launch, and greater consistency across the board.

Throughout the video, Ryan offers insights into how each model performs under real-world conditions, with launch monitor data and on-course testing to back it up.

So which Srixon ZXi iron is right for you? Ryan breaks it down:

Go for the ZXi7 if you're a confident ball striker who wants that premium feel and precision.
Try the ZXi5 if you're looking for a sweet spot between distance and control.
And consider the ZXi4 if you’re a mid-handicapper who could use more forgiveness without sacrificing looks.
