ZX5 Mk II

Reviewer testing: the standard chassis has 8g sole weight placed low and deep in the head for high-launch performance — higher MOI than the family LS variant's forward-weighted chassis. Robot/lab data: multi-material construction and strategically positioned weights result in a high moment of inertia, providing excellent forgiveness on off-center hits. Independent commentary: the larger footprint flat shape paired with deep low CG delivers more forgiveness and higher launch vs the LS variant. Strong 2023 forgiveness within the family lineup; positioned as the most forgiving head in the family.

Robot/lab data: the chassis is ideal for mid to slower swing speed players — higher launch plus slightly more spin than the LS variant trades peak distance for accessibility. Reviewer testing: the chassis is the higher spinning version of the range but delivers Rebound Frame Technology ball speed gains via Ti51AF face. Independent commentary: both share the same Rebound Frame design with two flex zones — strong distance for the moderate-swing target. Below the LS variant's class-leading distance but more forgiving carry character.

Reviewer testing: large footprint with low-deep weighting imposes high-launch consistency — chooses more forgiveness and higher launch rather than shape-shifting. Independent commentary: shares the same large footprint and flattened shape — game-improvement chassis that prioritises stability over manipulation. Less workable than the family's tour-spec sibling but more workable than the LS variant due to deeper CG.

Reviewer testing: family feel character carries through — firm but rewarding with a solid, almost harsh feel at impact attributed to all-titanium construction. Independent commentary: a solid, satisfying impact sound with refined tactile feedback through the grip. Less harsh than the LS variant due to higher-spin profile and deeper CG dampening some impact transfer. Solid family-typical premium feel.

Reviewer testing: a staccato pop that's below average in volume, which meshes well with the feel of impact which is more solid than explosive — quieter than the LS variant but still loud relative to category leaders. Independent commentary: a solid, satisfying impact sound but definitely one of the loudest drivers tested in recent years within the broader family. Robot/lab family-wide critique: testers were put off by sound and feel. Acoustic remains the family's weakness, slightly improved here vs the LS variant.

Robot/lab data: matte black finish on the crown with a tiny crosshair for alignment, sleek modern design with a larger footprint and low, deep weighting that inspires confidence at address. Reviewer testing noted a large footprint and flattened shape — premium game-improvement aesthetic. Carbon crown adds visual texture; classic understated cosmetics. Premium 2023 game-improvement silhouette.
