The Srixon ZXi RKT woods are new for 2026 as an all-new design and the successor to the ZXi fairways.
The Srixon ZXi RKT woods are the new flagship fairway metals in Srixon’s ZXi family, designed to deliver tour‑level ball speed, controlled launch and good levels of forgiveness.
Launched along with the new Srixon ZXi RKT drivers range, the 2026 woods pair Srixon’s RKT Face technology with an adjustable hosel and – for the first time in its fairways – an interchangeable sole weight.
The ZXi RKT is a fast, compact fairway wood with a notably penetrating flight than the previous version and debuted in the most dramatic way possible as Ryan Fox put a ZXi RKT 3‑wood into play when winning The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
Pros & Cons
✅ Four lofts, including a strong 13.5° 3+ wood
✅ RKT Face brings together refined i-FLEX face shaping, Variable Roll Design and Rebound Frame technology to target ball speed and consistency across the face
✅ Adjustable hosel and interchangeable sole weight provide more ways to fit loft, club feel and distance gaps
✅ Carbon crowns on the 3+ and 3-woods help move mass lower in those heads
✅ Compact, clean appearance and strong tee-shot performance
✅ Available left-handed in the 15° and 18° models
❌ The low-launch, low-spin flight could make greens difficult to hold for golfers who use a fairway wood mainly for approaches
❌ There is only one fairway-head family rather than separate standard and MAX fairway models other manufacturers have release, meaning golfers seeking a visibly larger, higher-spinning head have fewer choices within RKT
❌ The 13.5° 3+ and 21° 7-wood are right-hand only
Srixon ZXi RKT Fairway Woods Specs & Design
Srixon have introduced a new RKT Face design among a group of technologies in the new 2026 design rather than a single face insert in previous models.
A refined thickness pattern and strengthened internal i-FLEX structure allow the face to flex efficiently, while the updated Rebound Frame adds a second flex zone to support energy transfer.
The new Variable Roll Design is intended to improve the result of strikes away from the centre, including suppressing hooks from high-toe contact.
Srixon have also refined the head shape compared to the previous ZXi woods with tour-player feedback a major part of the upgrade.
The result is a relatively compact fairway profile, especially in the 3-wood, rather than an oversized shape aimed principally at maximum launch.
The new ACOUSTICORE programme uses AI-optimised internal rib structures to tune sound across the new woods family and gives a more muted impact than the previous ZXi.
The new carbon crown is used on the 3+ and 3-woods only with 5-wood and 7-wood keeping the same multi-material crown construction of previous versions.
The lighter yet stronger crown in the 3+ and 3-wood models has helped position mass lower in the head and deliver a more stable launch.
Each fairway comes with a 10g sole weight for the first time, which is interchangeable from 2g to 16g depending on swing weight preference and club feel.
The fairways are available in 3+ wood (13.5 degrees), 3-wood (15 degrees), 5-wood (18 degrees) and 7-wood (21 degrees). An adjustable hosel allows you to adjust the loft and lie by up to three degrees.
Srixon ZXi RKT Fairway Woods Review: Are they any good?
The Srixon ZXi RKT woods are clearly a impressive new addition, given they were part of Ryan Fox’s The Open Championship winning bag.
The new RKT fairway woods are ideal for golfers who want a compact club head, a piercing launch, plenty of speed and relatively little spin.
Srixon have introduced a single interchangeable sole weight for the first time in their fairway woods and it makes them much more appealing to a wider range.
The carbon crown is only the two strongest-lofted heads (3+ and 3-wood) is an interesting move and may be a little off-putting to some who like a consistent construction through the fairways.
