Srixon ZXi Driver Range - Full Review

Srixon ZXi Driver Review: Max, Standard, and LS Compared

Srixon’s new ZXi Driver lineup introduces three fresh driver heads: the Max, Standard, and LS. Each one is designed to fit different swing types and player preferences. With clean designs, premium construction, and a focus on helping players gain speed and control, the new iDrives are here to compete with the biggest names in golf. But do they deliver? Mark puts them through their paces to find out.

What Mark Says

“I game these clubs, and the new ZXi Driver series is a legit step forward. Clean looks, great feel, and ball speeds that get me close to my top numbers. What’s not to like? I’ll probably go with the Max, because it gives me speed and forgiveness, and it just looks great. These are real contenders.”

Inside the Review: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. The Lineup: Max, Standard, LS

• ZXi Driver Max:

  • Highest forgiveness

  • Rear weighting for easy launch

  • Neutral look at address

  • Best for players seeking help and stability on off-centre strikes

  • Adjustable heel and toe weights

  • Slightly more penetrating flight

  • Fits a wide range of golfers

  • Customisable draw/fade bias

  • Adjustable front-to-back weighting

  • Lower spin profile

All three feature iFlex face technology, a variable thickness face design to maximise ball speeds across more of the face, especially on centre strikes.

2. Looks, Feel & Sound

• Super clean all-black crowns with subtle dimples (for aerodynamics)

  • LS: Slightly sharper sound, especially on mishits

• Overall appearance: sleek, minimal, tour-inspired shaping across all three

3. Tech Highlights

• iFlex Face: Thinner centre for faster ball speeds

• Rebound Frame: Maximises energy return on impact
