This driver is a great choice for lower handicaps who want a long, straight ball flight. The Srixon ZXi line flys under the radar, but is worth a closer look.

I don’t know. I had the zx5 mkii driver and although it was hot off the face, the sound was horrible. Went back to my Rogue ST Max.
Distinct sound? Very diplomatic
Where can I get the hat that you're wearing??????
Sounded like a metal baseball bat in the videos. Missed my fitting a week ago looking to hit these and see how they go. Haven’t hit any Srixon driver in years
If you're doing Japanese drivers, I'd love to see some Bridgestone reviews!
i got fitted, ordered the 3wood… LOVE IT !!
It must be rough not being able to "work" a drive 2 fairways to the right. 😔
Very good review.. I enjoyed you bombing those drives into the fairway. The tinny sound was a bit much for me and I speaking as a person who LOVED the sound of the Nike sumo square. I wonder how this driver would do against another titanium driver, even if would a few years old.
I have no issues with the sound of drivers as long as they perform!
According to the Spanish moss it looked as if those fades were working into a decent little breeze. Good video!
Gabe, the titanium sound is wonderful. I still like that new Cleveland Hibore with the triangular "outer space" look. Ugly duckling might be the more inexpensive swan in this family. That's the one I have yet to try. Thanks for sharing.
Every driver has its good and bad points you have to find what you're comfortable with and fits your ball tendency I went with the Callaway e l y t e the driver is an all-around good performer and consistent for me
Hard to know FOR SURE, because the audio in person could be different pitch, but the sound coming through the video would make this an instant no go for me. unfortunately that early 2000's Ping sound hasn't aged well IMHO.
I demoed these clubs and they were terrible. I was disappointed, honestly. I play Cobra Darkspeed now which is very similar, I also have the Cobra Adapt. This year though PING has returned to their place on the podium.
That is a really nice looking driver. I had a z785 when it was new it was a great driver. I want to try this zxi but I’d have a hard time really leaving ping.
IYO, what is mid handicapper ?
15 ish?
Ball speed divided by club head speed equals smash factor. If you want a better smash then you have to swing faster and get your ball speed up.
Gabe, big fan of your channel. Love that you test DTC and budget golf products. Hope you review the new Ben Hogan M50-01 forged irons soon.
That fade swing was money !
Great review Gabe. I enjoy all your reviews. Most have been giving these drivers good reviews. How did this compare in height to the Ping g440. It seems both are higher spinning drivers.
Did you try switching the heavier weight to the toe side? Should help move the ball flight more to the right.
295…animal stuff !
I’m in love 😍😍
