Srixon ZXi fairway woods: Full reviews, player testing, photos and more
HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The new ZXi Fairways feature much of the same technology as the drivers, including the redesigned i-FLEX clubface.
i-FLEX 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.
For the first time on Srixon fairway woods, there’s also 1.5 degrees of hosel adjustability to tweak the loft, lie and face angle.
“The flexibility of these clubs enables a more efficient transfer of energy, which, in turn, generates more power at impact,” said Jeff Brunski, Srixon’s VP of research and development. “With every swing, golfers will feel the added strength and responsiveness of these new woods and see their shots go farther.”
On a fundamental level, certain models differ significantly. The 3- and 3+ fairway woods incorporate stepped carbon crowns to lower the CG for higher, longer shots — specifically, 4.6 more yards of carry compared to previous generations.
The ZXi fairways also feature tweaks to the leading edge that make the toe area appear more grounded at address, and the new sole design is optimized for added forgiveness.
