ZXi Fairway

Robot testing: accuracy score 8.4 with offline dispersion of -1.98 yds — among the most stable performers in the field. Overall robot score 8.8, tied for 3rd of the 2025 test. Reviewer testing: does an impressive job retaining ball speed on mishits, especially given its moderate proportions. Reviewer testing: very stable through impact, mishits aren't going to sting your hands or make the club twist wildly. Step up from the prior generation's score — adjusted hosel and refined sole add to a tour-tested forgiveness profile.

Robot testing: ball speed 133.7 mph among the fastest in the entire test, carry 209.6 yds, total 223.1 yds, distance score 9.2 — inside the top three overall. Reviewer testing: A+ rating for ball speed, with on-center performance matching the fastest speeds tested. New face technology plus Rebound Frame deliver 5-7% faster ball speeds compared to prior models. Stepped carbon crown on 3+/3W produces 4.6 more yards of carry vs predecessor. Top-tier 2025 distance — measurably faster than the already-strong ZX Mk II.

Reviewer testing: launches on a medium trajectory with moderate spin; when tested off the tee, it offered a flight which got way up there, but worked to the apex without excess spin. Reviewer testing: slightly pear-shaped, with dimensions that sit right on the border between players and game improvement clubs — neutral shape. 1.5° hosel adjustability tweaks loft, lie AND face angle — small face-angle bias change is available. Above-average workability — penetrating low-spin neutral flight plus a hosel face-angle adjuster.

Reviewer player testing: best feel of the bunch, so solid — didn't hit any bad shots with this club. Through the hands, the response of impact matches the sound, with the club feeling more solid behind the ball than quick. Very stable through impact, allowing you to feel the impact location while mishits aren't going to sting your hands. The carbon crown dampens vibration produced on previous-generation models. Above-average feel — refined tactile signature, well-received by player testers.

Reviewer testing: quiet at impact, producing a muted, mid-pitch snap that's devoid of the usual metallic notes of a fairway wood. Perfect strikes are rewarded with a sound that's a little lower pitched than the rest. The composite crown dampens the acoustics and vibration produced on previous-generation models. Above-average acoustic — clean muted impact with audible feedback on center strikes.

Reviewer testing: slightly pear-shaped, with dimensions that sit right on the border between players and game improvement clubs, designed not to intimidate the mid-handicap player while not turning off skilled ball strikers. Progressive new footprints feature leading edge shape changes for a flatter, more grounded look on the toe side. Industry coverage notes a fine job of improving looks and feel compared to the ZX Mk II line. Above-average address profile — neutral shape with intentional dual-audience styling.
