    Why We Like It

    • The hollow body was designed with the help of AI, a process that produces way more potential clubhead iterations than humans are capable of in a given timeframe.
    • Unlike the company’s ZXi5 and ZXi7 irons, the body of the ZXi4 is not forged. Instead the cast multi-piece iron uses a forged high-strength steel face insert (HT1770) supported by a cast 17-4 stainless-steel body and hosel that is heat treated to allow for bending.
    • The backside of each iron face is milled in a variable-thickness pattern comprising indentations to provide ball speed while saving mass.
    • The wider sole of the ZXi4 provides a low center of gravity for a higher launch. The extra width also has the effect of playing with more bounce to minimize fat shots.
    • The grooves are wider in the 4- through 7-irons and deeper and closer together in the 8-iron through pitching wedge. This promotes consistent spin from club to club.
    • Top 5 in Performance, low-handicaps.
    • SPECS: 7-iron: 28.5; PW: 43 degrees

    Surviving The Hot List: Celebrity Intern

    From the Manufacturer
    Srixon ZXi4

    With a clean look at address, forged feel, and hollow head design, ZXi4 delivers the heightened forgiveness you need in a compact shape you’ll want to play. ZXi4 Irons feature a softer SUS17-47 material, which delivers dramatically better feel than previous generations of ZX4 Irons. This softer material allows us to adjust loft and lie more easily to ensure the perfect fit.
