PLAYER TESTING TAKEAWAYS
“Nice, consistent flat black appearance. Felt good and was pretty forgiving. A nice driver!” – Dr. Paul McCombs (11.2-handicap) on the Srixon ZXi Max driver
“Clean, like the look at address. It had a loud sound at impact that I did not like. Also a left miss.” – Bryan Wiborg (3.4-handicap) on the Srixon ZXi driver
Srixon ZXi Drivers
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The lineup of ZXi drivers share a newfound face technology called i-FLEX, which is a face thickness pattern that has a thinner center area with thicker heel and toe regions, resulting in greater energy transfer for longer shots. Also, in certain models, this new technology is made of a new titanium called Ti72S, which, according to Srixon, is stronger, lighter, more flexible and more durable than face materials in previous iterations.
Additionally, the internal workings in the ZXi drivers include a latticework star-shaped Star Frame under the razor-thin titanium crown for more structural integrity. All ZXi clubs also feature a Rebound Frame for more face flex and faster ball speed.
The best “all-around” option of the trio, the ZXi driver is a high-MOI driver that produces a mid-high launch angle with a mid-low spin rate. It comes with a Ti72S face and two adjustable weights in the heel and toe for further shot pattern refinements.
Made for players who prefer a low-spin, mid-height trajectory, the ZXi LS driver offers added performance for golfers with faster swing speeds who want to avoid ballooning tee shots. Like the ZXi, the ZXi LS comes with a Ti72S clubface and two adjustable weights — but in this model Srixon has positioned the weights behind the face and toward the rear of the clubhead to allow golfers to dial in a more specific spin rate.
With the highest MOI of any Srixon driver yet, the ZXi MAX is designed for maximum forgiveness and distance. Despite its forgiving nature, its shape and profile don’t scream “game improvement.” The clubhead includes a single removable weight in the rear, allowing golfers to adjust the swing weight without altering the intrinsically high MOI design. The ZXi MAX is also available in a women’s model.
