Where it wins

- Looks89
- Workability87
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a low-to-mid handicapper who wants the best-feeling, most workable players' iron of 2025 - with class-leading accuracy and surprising forgiveness.
You need maximum distance or game-improvement forgiveness (the ZXi5 or ZXi4), or you want strong, distance-oriented lofts.
Pros
- MyGolfSpy's 2025 Most Wanted Player's Iron winner - a class-topping 9.4 MGS score that separated it from the field
- The highest forgiveness (9.6) AND accuracy (9.5) scores in the 2025 players' iron test - consistency is its hallmark
- Some of the best feel in golf - a new i-Forged S15C steel, the softest Srixon has ever used, 7% softer than the ZX7 Mk II
- Workability is the selling point - a single-piece forged head with the shallowest cavity for flighting and shaping shots
Cons
- Distance isn't the point - it ranks 7th for distance, with solid but not class-leading carry
- A players' iron - traditional lofts and a compact head reward better ball strikers
- Less outright forgiving and long than a players-distance iron (the ZXi5)
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairBest in the players' class - the highest forgiveness in the 2025 players' iron test (9.6/10), with repeatable results whether off the toe or low on the face, and just enough forgiveness for mid-handicappers to enjoy it. Class-leading forgiveness for a players' iron.
Distance
ExcellentSolid, not the point - ranked 7th for distance, with impressive carry that didn't compromise control and controlled yardage gains. Good distance for a players' iron, though distance isn't the selling point.
Workability
ExcellentThe selling point - the single-piece forged head with the shallowest cavity is built for flighting shots down and working the ball both ways, the i-Forging process giving more workability than any previous Srixon model. Elite workability for a players' iron.
Feel
Class-leadingSome of the best feel in golf - the new i-Forged S15C steel, the softest Srixon has ever used, 7% softer than the ZX7 Mk II, gives soft, responsive feel with clear feedback, rated best for feel in the 2025 players' iron test. Class-leading feel.
Sound
ExcellentBest in test - rated best for sound in the 2025 players' iron test, with a soft, muted note from the i-Forged S15C steel. Class-leading sound for a players' iron.
Looks at address
ExcellentBest in test - rated best for looks in the 2025 players' iron test, with a clean, compact single-piece forged players' shape. One of the best-looking players' irons of its year.
