Srixon ZXi4, ZXi5, ZXi7 and ZXiU instruments: 4 things you should know

The quest to improve the feel of an iron is endless for club builders, but Srixon says it has made a breakthrough with its new Impact Forging technology in the latest Srixon ZXi irons.

Here are four things you should know about the 2025 Srixon ZXi4, ZXi5, ZXi7 and ZXiU instruments.

1. New things offer new benefits

Srixon has a new process for making its instruments: FORGEDshort for Impact Forged. The new process helps strengthen and improve the steel used to build the clubs.

“The iForging process has given us the unique ability to select which irons will best suit each ZXi Iron, promoting better hitting feel and overall performance,” said Dustin Brekke, Srixon’s director of engineering. “For the ZXi7 Players Iron, we used a soft iron in the S15C. The softest iron we’ve ever had in forged Srixon Iron. Each innovation serves a specific purpose to balance and strengthen each instrument and provide players with instant feedback on contact.”

Equipped with new materials and molding process, the new ZXi7’s forged steels are 7 percent softer than the previous generation ZX7 Mk II, while the multi-piece ZXi5 and ZXiU have 14 percent softer face materials than their predecessors, Srizon. he says.

2. Feeling better

In the ZXi7 irons, which are the irons of the family player, Srixon has expanded PureFrame technology used in the previous generation to enhance the experience.

The PureFrame is a piece of metal built directly into the metal body to dampen vibrations and with the larger PureFrame comes a 9.3 percent reduction in vibration transmission compared to the ZX7 Mk II.

In the ZXi4, ZXi5 and ZXiU, the third generation of Srixon’s MainFrame variable face stiffness technology is back to increase MOI and ball speed. The MainFrame features a variable thickness network of grooves, channels and notches milled into the back of each face to maximize energy transfer through contact.

In the new ZXi series, the designers have extended the channel on the side of the toe, allowing them to reposition up to 2 grams of weight on the ground to increase ball speed and MOI.

3. Previous Srixon tech returns

Under each ZXi instrument, Srixon’s Visit VT the sole geometry helps ensure clean contact with a combination of single widths, bounces and notches. Grinding will be available on the ZXiU Utility irons and this series of versatile additions – a first for the Srixon Utility iron.

The iron sets also feature a continuous set of 3- to 7-iron irons with wide slots while the scoring clubs have deep and tight slots to ensure spin rotation throughout the set. There is also laser milling between the grooves.

4. Three models and service

The ZXi irons are meant to be grouped together as they all feature the same top line dimensions and shape.

“Every year we see more and more people choosing sets that are combined with our instruments,” said Brekke. “We usually have three special duos that are very popular with players – the ZXiU and ZXi7 are the most used among our tour staff, combining long forgiving irons and short, high performance irons. The ZXi5 and ZXi7 are for players who want powerful range and efficiency. We also have a combination of the ZXi4 and ZXi5 that pairs short rear bars with long hollow bars for more forgiveness.”

As a one-piece forged iron in the series, the ZXi7 (Available 3-AW) is intended to cater to elite golfers with a shallower spacing for increased accuracy and performance.

The ZXi5 irons (available 3-AW) are player-grade irons while the ZXi4 hollow-body (4-SW) irons are game-improvement entry.

The series is rounded out by the ZXiU Utility iron, available in three lofts from a 2- to a 4-iron to help empower players with long irons or an inbound driving iron.
