Srizon ZXi Driver Full Review

In this video, I dive into the all-new Srixon ZXi drivers featuring three heads: Max, Standard, and LS. I share my personal thoughts, test their performance, and help you decide which head might suit your game. Are they worth the price? Can they compete with other big-name brands?

From adjustable necks to the new iFlex face technology, these drivers promise more substantial energy transfer and impressive ball speeds. I test each head, breaking down spin rates, launch characteristics, and overall feel while aiming to hit my fastest ball speed ever.

If you’re curious about maximising your distance, improving consistency, or finding the best fit for your swing, this review is for you! Don’t miss my insights on price, performance, and who should game each driver.

Let me know in the comments: Would you game the Srixon ZXi driver, or would you prefer another brand?

Let’s see if I can break my ball speed record—watch till the end to find out!

    What club head speed are you swinging at to achieve these ball speed numbers mark ? 💪

    I'm curious how the ZXi LS compares to the GT4. They both look to have similar tech.

    Mark, great video. Congrats on 171!!!! Personally, when I want a new driver I wait until the all the new stuff is out and last years or even the 2-year old models which are still available brand new in the plastic get deeply discounted. For what ever reason Srixon, Mizuno, Cleveland and especially Tour Edge, their previous year models are often more than 1/2 off the price even when still brand new in the plastic. For example a Srixon Golf ZX5 LS MKII Driver, brand new in the plastic can now be had for $175 to $200 USD. This is with all the shaft options still available.

    So, when I see a club I like I put a note with the driver and the specs I want on my electronic calendar to check back in a year or two and see how inexpensively I can get it. Granted it's like you are living 2 years in the past, but its a great way to save a lot of money on clubs.

    Great looking drivers amongst the very best looking this year and definitely very underrated. If the performance matches or beats the equivalent from Ping, Titleist, TM & Callaway then I have no problem with them being priced in the same range as those although I think Srixon would do better to have them £100 cheaper.

    Really like the look of Mark's Penguin jumper as well

    all wayys great reviews but think your right price is steep most people bying a driver will not pick srixon over the overs at that price

    I do wonder when these £575 prices are going to reset lower, but I’m beginning to think the answer is never unless the popularity of golf post Covid starts to drop.

    I’ll demo the Max & HiBore XL against my current XL Launcher 2 which is a bit of a fairway finder now it plays at a length of 43.75”

    I’m really brand agnostic when it comes to drivers. I go to the same excellent place to get fitted and what works the best with head and shaft combination is the one I go with. (Not very often I might add – still playing Rogue ST Max with Tour AD XC shaft from 3 years ago) Point being, if it’s Srixon then I’d buy it without a second hesitation. Srixon have huge bag appeal imo. If I had to, I’d have a full bag of them and nobody would turn their nose up at them.

    I know you'd correctly say "get fit" regarding which is best in any club category But at times i wish you weren't sponsored so you could tell us G440 max was better or not etc. Don't get me wrong, for someone who is sponsored you dance around it very well and your content is A+ It's just not everyone can get fit so the rack buyers rely on others comparing apples.

    Youre not allowed to catch me, Mark. I only just got up to 173.9 last week. on good days, ive got th3 apeed to cruise in the 175 range, but the strike isnt there above 114/115 on Trackman clubspeed.

    Well done Mark! You have to show us a 172 now.

    Man listen, I got a ZX5 MKII LS as a throw in piece for a Ping driver I had. Basically in new condition. Gamed it all year last year, and it's easily one of the very best drivers I have ever used. If these perform better than that, I will absolutely game it in 2025.

    171 is damn right worth a like! To be honest I'd be better off spending 600 EUR on driver lessons to win an extra 6-10 yards or so with my still fairly recent ST-X 230.

    Mark, I’ve yet to see any golf clubs from any company worth the price that they are charging, regardless of the claims made.

    why don't you show the club speed, what's the point of having just the ball speed ?!

    I currently play the Srixon ZX5 LS 10.5 with the HZRDUS Black shaft. Absolutely love it. Can't wait to get my hands on the new LS. I love the sound, the looks, and the performance. I have tried most of the drivers over the last 30 years and Srixon is a top performer for me. Ping is close second. Used to like TaylorMade but really hate carbon face drivers now. Love the feel and build quality of Titleist but they seem slightly harder to hit for me. Srixon rocks. Been on the fence about dumping my TM P790's and moving into Srixon irons. ZXi5 sitting right on the fence.

    Well done sir on that Ball speed!! 😲. I'll be testing these when I go for a club fitting a couple of months. Irons look shmick and generally a little cheaper than the 'big brands'.

    I don't buy anything new in golf but I like the looks of these. Like the max the most. The letters and numbers confuse me from this brand and probably wouldn't pay as much from Srizon as one of the big 4

    Nuts price. Really can't understand this price point for a Srixon driver at this point in time. Needs to be at least £150 cheaper, at least in the USA and European markets.

    171 is also my highest speed. my swing isn't nearly as functional as yours tho.

    I am shocked Srixon has set the price point this high. I thought they would stick lower. Interesting. Curious what it will be in Canada. Premium brands are $950 plus tax here.

    Love the ending! Congrats on the 171! I may give the Max a test drive. Planning to go through a fitting for the irons. Thanks for very informative, concise content. Keep up the good work!

    Which model yielded the 171mph ball speed? The Max? LS?

    Awesome on the 171 😀 ! Nice video! An unrelated question regarding another video: Las Colinas special from aprox. 7 years ago. Did you play there in july? Me and some mates have booked a tee time mid july and was wondering if it is 'playable' in the heat?

    I only started playing a bit over a year ago and got a ZX Mk II driver almost exactly a year ago. Absolutely love it and it has really helped me to improve but the head cracked on it after about 6 months. Srixon were great and replaced it no problem. In the past week it is feeling like it has cracked again though (the noise off the face is different, duller in sound, and my distances have suddenly dropped too) Last time I could clearly see the crack but this time there is no obvious crack. Has anyone else here had this sort of issue with Srixon clubs?

  32. @alexmills1329

    Knowing Srixon I’d just wait for a price drop/ get it used for under $300 in about a year if a test fitting proved to me it was worth the upgrade for me. I’m happy with my MK II LS driver from them for the foreseeable future, so not likely to bite on any price for this gen.

    😅 worth sticking around just for that ending. I found myself actually excited for him.

    I'm a huge Srixon fan, love thier gear and put my money whete my mouth is on that with a full Srixon bag! Really looking forward to trying these but i am surprised at the cost. Whilst their tech and performance absolutely backs it up, part of the appeal was always that you felt it was such good performance for the money and not inflated prices like the "bigger" brands.

    I see there are 3 different shafts. When getting fitted can you try all 3 shafts in each model or is, for example, the red shaft the one best suited to the max model?
