Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance88
- Feel85
- Forgiveness84
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want one driver that does everything well - elite ball speed, real forgiveness and adjustable shot shape, for a wide range of swing speeds and handicaps.
You need the absolute highest forgiveness or the lowest spin - the ZXi Max and ZXi LS are the specialists.
Pros
- A genuinely balanced driver - elite ball speed with high forgiveness, fitting the widest range of golfers
- Strong, stable mishit performance - centre-ish strikes lose no more than 3mph, and even poor strikes hold a smash factor in the low 1.4s
- A premium, fast feel - a sensation of tremendous speed without the face feeling thin
- A new i-FLEX face and visible Laser Face Milling boost ball speed and stabilise spin, even in the wet
Cons
- Slightly less MOI than the dedicated ZXi Max - the least consistent strikers want the Max
- A mid-volume, imposing 'crack' that's louder than some rivals
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentStrong and stable - impressive ball-speed retention on mishits, centre-ish strikes losing no more than 3 mph versus perfect ones, with even poor strikes holding a smash factor in the low 1.4s, plus balanced MOI and Laser Face Milling that adds forgiveness, particularly in the wet. High forgiveness for a balanced head, if below the dedicated ZXi Max.
Distance
ExcellentElite ball speed - the ZXi produces elite ball speed, with the new i-FLEX face structure thinning the centre for more speed and enhanced face flex and energy transfer across the face. Long via top-tier speed on a balanced, mid-spin flight.
Workability
SolidBalanced and moderately shapeable - it sits between the forgiving Max and the workable LS, a neutral, do-everything head with weight ports to tune shot shape, favouring all-round performance over pure shaping. Moderate workability, more than a game-improvement head but less than the players' LS.
Feel
ExcellentFast and substantial - the feel through the hands is even better than the sound, a sensation of tremendous speed without the face feeling thin behind the strike, solid and energetic. A premium, fast sensation.
Sound
StrongAn imposing crack - a mid-volume, imposing crack at impact, an assertive but controlled note. A confident, slightly loud acoustic.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and modern - a clean, modern look with the new visible Laser Face Milling and a refined crown, a premium, confidence-inspiring shape. A tidy, contemporary head at address.
