Srixon ZXi Driver Review
The all-around ZXi: fast, forgiving, relatively low spin, and adjustable for draw or fade — now a strong value at its reduced price.
What we like
- Balances ball speed and MOI while keeping spin relatively low
- Heel and toe sole weights let you tune toward a draw or a fade
- 1.5-degree hosel sleeve adjusts loft, lie, and face angle
What to weigh
- Less forgiving than the ZXi MAX on big misses
- Weight tuning works best with a fitter or launch monitor
- Torque wrench is sold separately
- Last-season design compared with brand-new 2026 drivers

This review weighs the manufacturer specifications, independent testing from across the golf equipment world, and long-term owner feedback, then scores the product against its closest alternatives. It is not presented as a GolfTested lab measurement.
Quick answer
The standard Srixon ZXi is the middle driver in the lineup. Srixon describes it as combining strong ball speed with high MOI while keeping spin relatively low, and it adds two adjustable sole weights for shot-shape tuning. At $399.99, reduced from $549.99, it is one of the better price-to-performance drivers from a major brand.
Design
It uses the same core technology as the rest of the ZXi family: the i-FLEX face, the two-zone Rebound Frame, the Star Frame lattice crown, and new laser face milling for spin consistency. What sets it apart is adjustability. Heel and toe weights let you shift the center of gravity toward a draw or a fade, and a 1.5-degree hosel sleeve fine-tunes loft, lie, and face angle.
ZXi vs ZXi MAX
The ZXi MAX is the forgiveness pick, with the highest MOI, higher launch, more spin, and one rear weight. The ZXi is the balanced pick for golfers who already find the face reasonably often and want lower spin plus more control over shot shape.
Verdict
The ZXi Driver is a strong all-rounder, and the current price makes it easy to justify. Get a fitting for loft and weight settings to get the most from it.
