The new Srixon ZXi irons, including the Srixon ZXi4, Srixon ZXi5, and Srixon ZXi7, are powered by Srixon’s new i-Forged technology, which consists of a new proprietary condensed forging process that delivers dramatically better feel. Combine this with proven Srixon technologies that have been successful in previous Srixon irons, and the Srixon ZXi irons boast the complete package.

Looks good, small changes from previous versions.
Excited to upgrade my ZX7’s!
These vs the ELYTE asap pleaseee ;).
Had a full set of the mk2 zx5's for a season. Hit them well – but I couldn't get over the techy feel of the irons. Im high handicap player and now game the Z-FORGED MK2 irons 5-PW. I strike them better, have better dispersion and ball flight is far more consistent.
Srixon blades have to be some of the most forgiving ever made – I do wonder if they intend on making a zxi Forged iron – I still only see the z-forged 2 on their website.
Aren't those spin rates on the ZXi4 are way too low?
after watching some of the reviews in youtube channels I realised that the selling gimmick of local japan market and the western market for ZXI7 of this generation is different….no one mentioned the S15C steel and the forging process to reinforce the hosel of ZXI7…? or local japan and export iron use different materials?
Every reviewer I watch draws the heck out of the ZXi7. My occasional miss is an inside/out overcooked draw – and with the super low spin of these irons, I can't deal with the left miss ever. My hopes for this year was that Srixon would remove some offset and increase spin.
ZXi7 or S-3?
I hesitate to make too much of the flight differences between these 3 models as Drew swung the ZXi7 5 mph faster than he swung the ZXi4. Had he put as much speed into the ZXi4 it might well have spun more and carried significantly more than it did.
Thought on zxi7 vs titleist t150? Forgiveness?
only problem is your zxi4 is really a 5 iron. No idea why everyone pretends 29* irons are still a 7 iron. Its a short 5 iron.
The names of clubs are getting worse every year haha. Zxi, elyte, qi35
Re these still Endo Forged?
If you were to weaken these lofts by say 2 degrees…what happens to bounce? It increases correct?
That's what I want to hear, " I'm going to put this in the bag" -Drew
These look aweeeesome…definitely adding to the test drive this spring! Some really exciting clubs coming out…I was under the impression that grooves don’t actually directly cause spin. The reason for grooves is to take matter (dirt & grass) off the club face and thus indirectly helping the club create spin…thus, it seems that since you don’t normally dig down as much with the longer irons, you don’t need more/deeper grooves like you would with the shorter irons…either way, great idea.
Are these actually forged or is I-forged a marketing term? They look great!
Great review guys. Any word on a black or grey version like they have done in the past?
