CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a mid-to-high handicapper who wants the best-looking, best-feeling game-improvement iron of 2025 - forgiving and accurate, with a clean, playable profile.
You're chasing maximum distance (other 2025 GI irons are longer), or you want workability and traditional lofts.
Pros
- The most attractive and playable game-improvement iron of 2025
- A standout feel - new i-Forged SUS17-47 softer steel gives a noticeably improved, soft feel with a satisfying muted sound
- Very forgiving - the hollow body delivers more forgiveness than the clean look suggests, with a high, straight stock shot
- Class-leading accuracy - a top-4 finish and 2nd overall for accuracy in 2025 game-improvement testing
Cons
- Below-average distance for a 2025 game-improvement iron - it holds the ZXi4 off the podium
- Strong lofts and low spin - a high, straight ball, not for traditional gapping or workability
- A 'don't fix what isn't broken' update - little changed from the ZX4 Mk II
By dimension
Forgiveness
Very forgiving - the hollow body delivers more forgiveness than the clean look suggests, with a high, straight stock shot, a top-4 game-improvement iron and 2nd overall for accuracy in 2025. Strong game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
Fast, but short for the class - below-average distance that holds it off the podium, despite borderline-elite ball speed, with strong lofts and low spin. Below-average distance for a 2025 game-improvement iron.
Workability
High and straight - the stock shot is high and straight from the forgiving hollow body, a playable but forgiveness-first game-improvement iron. Limited workability, as expected of the category.
Feel
A standout - the new i-Forged SUS17-47 softer steel gives a noticeably improved feel over previous models, a soft sensation. Class-leading feel for a game-improvement iron.
Sound
Satisfying and muted - strikes produce a satisfying, muted sound from the i-Forged construction, a solid, refined acoustic. Class-leading sound for a game-improvement iron.
Looks at address
Best-looking in class - the most attractive and playable game-improvement iron of 2025, with a clean, confidence-inspiring profile. The best-looking game-improvement iron of its year.
