So, in this video, we’ve got two brand new irons to take a look at from Shrixen. And this is a category that Shrixen have never produced a golf club in before. So, this is a first for them. I’ve got them in my hands. I’m going to hit them. And obviously, I’m going to give you my feedback and a full run through of these new clubs. So, when we take a look at Shreken as a brand, we tend to straight away think about forged irons. Beautiful looking golf clubs, great feeling golf clubs, maybe clubs that are aimed for that mid to sort of low handicap type of golfer. Well, now they’ve entered a category that they’ve never done before, and that is that game improvement category. We’ve got two irons to take a look at in this video, and First Instincts, similar to the other irons that they produce, they look absolutely stunning. So, we’ve got a ZXIR and a ZXIR HL. So, we’re going to run through both of these golf clubs, run through the tech, and maybe the type of golfer it’s aimed at, and if this is something that you will possibly go and put in your bag. So, quick look at the heads. The ZXIR is the sort of standard version in a way from this game improvement category. Probably the biggest market is going to be in this particular head. And then we’ve also got the HL version as we’ve seen from other brands. HL stands for high launch. A little bit of a weaker off for the golf who’s maybe hasn’t got quite as much speed and just wants that little bit of help on launching the golf ball. We’ll kick things off with the ZX IIR. So first impressions on the back of the golf club here. It looks very much a Shrixen iron. Very much ties into the other irons that they’ve got, the ZXI range, which while I’m on that, they will stay in the range for 2026. They aren’t changing. So, these two irons are going to be an addition to the range, and I think they’re going to be a great addition as well. Maybe bringing more that sort of mid to high handicap golfer into the sort of Shrixen brand. So, looking at the back, you’ve got a very premium sort of look, a little bit of that polished sort of chrome there. And then moving on to the face of the golf club. Again, that satin finish uh where the grooves are. A little bit of a a slightly more polished, but still a bit of a satin look in that heel and toe. So, let’s move into this playing position. And I think straight away when I do that, it just fills me with confidence. Blade length from heel to toe is pretty long. There’s a lot of head down there. I’m not saying it’s bulky and ugly. It’s just gives you that confidence, which I think the type of golfer going into this iron is is definitely a good thing. The top edge is obviously pretty thick. I would say it’s more medium to thick. Again, it’s not an ugly looking thing. And we’ve got a little bit of offset there as we’d expect in this type of iron. Now, normally I hit seven irons. Shrixen have sent me some six irons here. So, obviously just got to take count these are six iron that I am hitting in both these irons. The loft on this R as a six iron comes in at 25°. So, it’s strong. To give you some example there, the 7 iron is 28 12°. So, it’s obviously going to be in that strong area. That felt nice. Nice sound to that as well. Now, this isn’t a forged product, and both these irons aren’t forged. We’ve got what we call an eye alloy, which is a softer version to a typical 431 stainless steel that you would see in a game improvement iron. So, the the obviously we’re not going to get that forge feel, but that was a nice sound to that. That was a nice feel to it. Wasn’t too hard, brash, or loud. That’s a lovely flight. That is right down the neck as well. Again, that felt very good. Yeah, a little bit low on that spin number on that particular one. But look at the height there, 110 ft. Let’s talk a little bit about the technology in these eyeins. So, we’ve talked about the eye alloy, which is that softer material to help with that sort of sound and that feel. We’ve also got main frame technology and we do see this in their other models of iron. So basically that’s additional weight that is going to get saved and repositioned right behind that hitting area. So you’ll see that little raised section in the back of the cavity there right behind that hitting area. A little bit more mass concentrated behind that sweet spot. Again that’s going to help with that ball speed and maybe that consistency of that launch and spin that flies. Really like that. That’s another very straight golf shot. I’m right on it today. So yeah, feels feel is great. Now we flip the club over and we look at the sole again. Shrixen characteristics here. We’ve got that V soul. Brilliant. I I’m a big fan of that V soul and I think many comments I got my previous Shrix and I videos the VoL is very very popular. Now obviously the sole is going to be wider in this type of head as we’re going to expect, but we have got that VO. So we’ve got that sort of little ridge that runs through the middle of the sole from the heel to the toe that helps with a bit of turf interaction. gets the club into the turf, but then also gets it coming out and keeps the speed up throughout that turf interaction. So, I think really as a golfer, you’re liking that Shrexen brand, but maybe look at the ZXI7, the ZXI5s, and also got the ZXi4, which is the hollow construction. You might feel, oh, I just sort of want a little bit more power, a little bit more help with that. Um, then obviously this is where this club will definitely sit in. We’re going to hit the HL version soon, so we’ll see what differences that makes with that little bit of loft. But as I say, looks great behind the ball. So yeah, just post your comments down below. Do you feel like this is a great move from Shrixen as a brand to probably just create the whole family aiming at sort of all different levels of golfers now from that sort of high to mid- handicap golf and then obviously the forge product into those uh smaller more compact head eventually into the uh the blade as well. But honestly that feels really good off the club face. Great sound to that. nice feel and some nice spin numbers. Even there when I pull it and obviously I’ve shut my face a little bit, the spin hasn’t plummeted stupidly low for a strong lofty golf club which is quite nice and refreshing. So availability in the ZXIR is a four iron all the way through to a sand iron right hand and left hand, but there’s no left hand option in a sand iron, which isn’t too bad for you lefties, but you can get obviously the full set in left hand as well. So let’s take a look at the ZXIR HL. HL stands for high launch. So just a quick comparison against the R version here between these two golf clubs. If I look at the sole of the club here with the HL, it’s a fraction thicker, fraction wider in that sole. Then into that sort of playing position between these two golf clubs here. I mean, noticeably I can see more loft. Again, this is a six iron, but I can see it probably looks a bit more like a seven iron uh sort of look here. So definitely a little bit more loft. The top edge is I say the top edge is pretty much the same is a little bit more offset in the head, but the actual blade length is exactly the same as well. So the loft on the 69 is 28 12°. So that’s like the 7 iron in the R version. So pretty much it’s a club extra, isn’t it really in a way? So the 7 iron in the HL will come in at 32.5° instead of 28 12. So there’s 4° difference basically uh through the well it’s 3° in the longer irons then moving up into 4° in the shorter irons. Again looks fantastic. Looks very very similar. Just that little bit more offset. Definitely see more loft but the head size is the same. All right. Yeah that’s high. That is definitely gone higher. That was a really nice strike to be honest. Okay. So we can see that launch has just gone up a little bit. Height 111 ft. But look at the spin number. This is really what Shrixen is saying. This iron isn’t really aimed towards me cuz I’ve I’m got a luxury of a little bit of speed. But golfers, maybe senior golfers possibly or golfers who just don’t have a lot of club head speed and just need some loft there to actually number one launch it and number two create a little bit more spin which helps to get that land angle that stopping power but ultimately getting a little bit more distance. As soon as certain golfer with the ball speed gets a little bit higher in its launch, they generally get a little bit more distance when they’re in that slow swing category. And to be honest, I think it’s a confidence thing as well. I mean, I look that down there and it looks for a six iron. There it looks like a seven iron. There’s some loft there, isn’t there? Again, that just helps you have that bit of confidence. You can get this launched. Oh, that is down it. And that is high. And that I mean, I just know that’s going to stop on the green. Again, great sound, great feel to that. I really like that for a game improvement iron. That that feels very, very good. Certain golfers just naturally deliver very little loft at impact. Whether that’s because of a weight position, swing direction, or they get too much of a a handle forward. Then something with a bit more loft just helps you to get it back to that um sort of neutral launch angle and try and get that ball flighted again. But there’s much more of a flight on that as well. Okay. I can clearly quite see what’s going to happen with that HL there. Just ultimately a lot more sort of launch and a little bit more help with that spin as well for the golfer who actually sort of needs it. Technology wise in the HL is exactly the same as what we see in the R version. And then availability wise and this is no four now in the HL version. So it starts from a five iron all the way through to a sand. And the sandine again is only right hand but everything else is available in left hand. There we go. I think they’re two brilliant additions for Shrixen to for me complete their whole family. Quality look, a quality feel, and there some really nice performances and two irons to suit two different types of golfer maybe in that mid to high handicap category. Post comments below. Let me know your thoughts on that new launch from Shrixen and hopefully I’ll catch you all very soon.
