Expanded Summary
ποΈββοΈ Three Models in the Srixon ZXi Driver Lineup
The Srixon ZXi driver series features three models, each designed to cater to different playing styles and skill levels:
- ZXi Standard Driver
- Designed for most golfers, offering a balance of forgiveness and control.
- Equipped with two adjustable weights (10g and 4g) positioned in the heel and toe, allowing customization for draw, fade, or neutral ball flights.
- Features a 9Β° loft with adjustable hosel settings for fine-tuning launch conditions.
- Best suited for golfers seeking consistent performance with moderate spin rates.
- ZXi LS (Low Spin) Driver
- Geared toward players with higher swing speeds seeking to reduce spin for maximum distance.
- Features adjustable weights placed in the front and back to shift the center of gravity (CG) for optimizing launch and spin rates.
- The LS head maintains a 460cc size, unlike some compact low-spin models from competitors.
- Produces a flatter ball flight with enhanced rollout, ideal for players who prioritize distance control.
- ZXi Max Driver
- Designed for maximum forgiveness and stability.
- Features a fixed 14g weight placed deep in the head to maximize CG depth and moment of inertia (MOI).
- Offers a higher launch and is designed to help golfers with a tendency to hit fades or slices.
- Ideal for players seeking consistency and straight ball flight.
π₯ Titanium Face & No Carbon Design
- Unlike most modern drivers that integrate carbon fiber crowns to save weight, the ZXi series opts for a full titanium head.
- This design produces a louder, more traditional sound at impact, reminiscent of older drivers.
- The black matte finish and sleek design give the club a premium, stealth-like look.
π― Rebound Frame Technology
- The ZXi drivers feature Rebound Frame Technology, which includes specialized flex zones within the head.
- These zones transfer energy back into the ball for higher ball speeds and improved consistency on off-center hits.
- Combined with the eye flex face, the design optimizes energy transfer while remaining within legal limits.
βοΈ Adjustability & Performance Insights
- The ZXi drivers offer extensive adjustability:
- The Standard Model offers versatile tuning for moderate spin and stable ball flight.
- The LS Model provides lower spin rates, especially with the 10g weight moved forward for aggressive ball strikers.
- The Max Model offers added forgiveness, ideal for golfers needing help with mishits or seeking higher launch conditions.
- The LS model was shown to deliver flatter peak flight with reduced spin, while the Max model excelled in producing straight, stable ball flights.
π Face & Crown Enhancements
- The ZXi drivers utilize a Laser-milled face to enhance spin consistency, especially on mis-hits.
- The thin titanium crown features a lattice design to reduce weight and improve CG placement, further enhancing forgiveness and launch conditions.
π Key Performance Takeaways
- 3,700 RPM Spin β Demonstrates the importance of proper fitting; a low strike on the face produced excessive spin.
- 10g & 4g Weights β The LS model’s weight adjustability optimizes spin reduction vs. forgiveness.
- 460cc Head Size β Despite being designed for different player types, all three models maintain a large head shape for added confidence at address.
