What Srixon says about the Srixon ZX5 irons:

“Srixon’s ZX5 irons combine pioneering ball speed technology with a premium forged feel and delivers all of it in a forgiving yet workable chassis that’s razor sharp at address.

“If it’s striking design and explosive speed you’re looking for, you’ll find all that and even more in the ZX5 irons.

Srixon ZX5 Irons

“Features the widest sole, longest blade, and most offset in ZX family, but still offers a clean address view. A thin topline and low offset create a classic, tour-preferred address shape.

“Providing golfers with the ultimate set of clubs that give you total control and incredible distance unlike any other, it’s time to take your game from cautious to confident with the ZX5 Irons.”

Srixon ZX5 Irons Specs & Design

The ZX5 irons were designed after two years of research and development and Srixon came up with a solid all-round performer.

The Srixon irons have a forged 1020 Carbon Steel body for a soft feel, coupled with a SUP10 face for faster ball speeds and more distance.

Ball speeds are also enhanced by a milled pattern on the backside of each iron face, which has been designed by AI and maximizes COR.

The 3-iron to 7-iron have wider grooves and feature tungsten in the toe for an increased MOI, improved stability and enhanced forgiveness.

The 8-iron through to Pitching Wedge have “progressive grooves” that are sharper, narrower, and deeper to help you add more spin and control to your short game.

The ZX5s feature a Tour V.T. Sole to improve ball striking, particularly when striking behind the ball.
