Srixon ZXiR irons have been launched as a new 2026 model, adding a game-improvement option to the highly popular series.
The new ZXiR irons added a new dimension to premium series as Srixon’s return to the game‑improvement market, delivering a combination of softer feel, easy launch and big distance for mid to high handicappers
They expand the ZXi iron family that also includes the ZXi5, ZXi7, ZXi4 and ZXiU long irons as well as ZXi drivers, fairways and hybrids.
ZXiR irons fit neatly into the series by providing handicap golfers with Srixon’s premium technologies in a more forgiving package. Also released are the higher‑launching ZXiR HL option for slower swing speeds.
Srixon ZXiR Irons Specs & Design
The ZXiR are a new addition to the Srixon series and these game improvement irons are targeted at mid to high handicap golfers who want more distance, a higher ball flight and forgiveness.
The new release is designed to suit players who tend to strike their irons slightly thin or low on the face and who are looking for extra speed and consistency without moving into an oversize game improving shape.
The ZXiRs are crafted from the all‑new i‑ALLOY, a cast material that is around 10% softer than traditional 431 steel and provides a forged‑like feel at impact in a game‑improvement model.
The softer alloy works with a new MainFrame milling pattern behind the face to reposition mass and enhance ball speed and forgiveness, especially on strikes low on the face where many mid and high handicappers tend to miss.​
In the long and mid irons, i‑ALLOY is used in the body while thinner faces maximise speed, while in the short irons and wedges the alloy is used in both the body and face to prioritise feel and control.
Srixon’s V‑shaped sole design is also part of the design and helps better turf interaction, reduce digging and promote consistent contact from a range of lies.​
The ZXiR irons have a relatively clean, modern cavity look and are not overly chunky across the topline and can be blended with ZXi5 or ZXi7 short irons for some golfers.
The ZXiR irons are available in 4-iron (19.5 degrees) to Sand Wedge (54 degrees).
ZXiR is joined by a ZXiR HL, a High Launch model aimed at players who struggle to get the ball airborne and suited to seniors, newer golfers and slower swing speed players.
There is also a dedicated women’s ZXiR HL configuration with lighter, optimised components while retaining the same face and cavity‑back technology as the core models.
Srixon ZXiR Irons Review: Are they any good?
The ZXiR irons are a very impressive addition to the game improvement sector with the key premium Srixon technologies incorporates into the new model.
Strong lofts and a lower sweet spot helps generate maximum distances, straight ball flights and a seriously impressive ball striking pattern.
The new MainFrame design and redistributed mass and provides stability we’ve not seen in Srixon irons, as well as an optimal launch angle and forgiveness from across the entire face.
If you are a mid-to-high handicapper and prefer classic looking irons over chunky cavity back, then the ZXiR could well be the one for you.
