    Why We Like It

    • A condensed forging process allows for a localized hardening of the steel from the high toe and along the topline to optimize durability and feel.
    • The face features a variable-thickness pattern of internal grooves and channels, bolstering ball speed.
    • Use of a heat treatment makes the face softer and provides durability.
    • The 3- through 7-iron have wider grooves to enhance spin across a larger area of the face, and the short irons feature grooves that are deeper and closer together to maximize spin on short-iron impacts.
    • Srixon’s venerable V-sole design uses a combination of sole width, notches and bounce to promote a smooth glide through the grass.
    • Top 5 in Performance, middle-handicaps.
    • SPECS: 7-iron: 31 degrees; PW: 44 degrees

    Surviving The Hot List: Celebrity Intern

    From the Manufacturer
    Srixon ZXi5

    The all-new ZXi5 Irons represent our most potent blend of power, playability, and ultra-sharp looks. Our revolutionary i-FORGED process, the latest Srixon ball speed and distance technologies, gives ZXi5 Irons unprecedented feel, speed, and power on every shot. Condensed Forging stretching from the high-toe area and along the topline of the Iron blade enhances overall strength, durability, and feel. Then, the forged faces on ZXi5 are softened to improve this already exceptional feel.
