Where it wins
- Distance90
- Looks84
- Feel82
Watch
Rated highest for distance and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You're an aggressive, skilled ball-striker who spins it too much - this cuts spin intelligently for distance and fairways, with the widest spin tuning of any low-spin Srixon.
You miss the centre often or want help getting the ball up - the balanced ZXi or the forgiving ZXi Max suit you better.
Pros
- Genuinely low spin and consistent - ~400 rpm less spin than its predecessor with a dramatically tighter spin range, for repeatable distance
- Elite ball speed - around 67% of strikes hit 136-142 mph, rivalling anything in the category
- Among the most tunable low-spin drivers - front and rear weight ports shift spin by ~350 rpm, plus a wide 6.5-to-12-degree loft range
- Surprisingly playable for a low-spinner - the new i-FLEX face holds ball speed across the face
Cons
- Limited forgiveness - launch, spin and dispersion spike on poor strikes
- Brutally honest mishit feedback - off-centre hits turn shrill and metallic
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongLimited, but surprising for the type - forgiveness is limited, yet surprisingly forgiving for a low-spinner thanks to the new i-FLEX face, which holds ball speed almost identically across the face, with a dramatically tighter spin range than the predecessor. Playable for the skilled player, though launch, spin and dispersion still spike on poor strikes.
Distance
Class-leadingElite - excellent ball speed, around 67% of strikes between 136 and 142 mph, with a jump in speed and a drop in spin on quality strikes, and roughly 400 rpm less spin than the Mk II predecessor. Top-tier low-spin distance that rivals anything in the category.
Workability
FairA compact players' head - a shorter front-to-back, pear-shaped profile preferred by tour players, which suits a skilled player who wants to shape it, rewarding the better striker. Workable for a low-spin head, though the weight ports tune spin rather than shot-shape bias.
Feel
ExcellentHot and excellent - a hot feel that matches the titanium crack, feeling excellent at impact, lively and responsive. A fast, premium sensation, a big step up on the harsh ZX5 LS Mk II.
Sound
StrongGood on centre, honest on misses - centred shots produce a rich, mid-range sound at average volume, but off-centre hits turn louder and more metallic, almost shrill, brutally honest feedback. The centre note is pleasing while mishits announce themselves. Much improved over the ZX5 LS Mk II's loud note, if punishing on misses.
Looks at address
ExcellentCompact and tour-preferred - a clean, compact look with the visible Laser Face Milling, and a shorter front-to-back, pear-shaped address view preferred by tour players. A tidy, premium players' shape.
