Srixon ZXiR and ZXiR HL: Expanding Performance to Every Golfer

SuperStroke
Can anyone definitely confirm that these are .355 taper please?
Seems like a bit of speculation so far

Decided to go for a set of the HLs. Wanted the longer blade length and a bit more offset. Went 7-AW, 1 degree strong, MMT 105s.

Looks like Srixon is backed up on orders by a few weeks but it's not even feasible to go to the range right now here so no worries. Maybe by the time they come it'll be warm enough for a few range sessions.

Haven't heard a word since ordering but just got this email from UPS so guess that has to be them

all their irons are 355 as far as I know. You're right in that I don't see it clearly stated for the ZXiRs, but I can't imagine they would change.
 
I've ordered a .355 Steelfiber shaft and as soon as it is here I'll pull the shaft for that iron and know for sure. I suspect it is a .355 head based on shaft options available from Srixon.
 
They came today and they are beautiful. Should be able to get them to the range on Saturday.

Those look amazing. Can't wait to hear how they perform for you.

They look like Srixons.

Which is a pretty huge complement when talking about SGI irons.

The offset is probably the biggest indicator they are the most game improvement of their lineup

They hide their size really well

They looked on the smaller end to me but that's just because I'm used to big bulky irons. The AW next to the UW of my GMax set is not a big difference and the GMax's are gigantic.

I still have my ZX5s and took a flier on the ZXIRs. Looking at them both, I compared them the little sister of your girlfriend who maybe weighs 15-20 lbs more. You see the family resemeblance. And if you met her first, you likely would have asked her out and dated. And you'd only notice the extra weight when she is standing next to her sister.

I think the ZXIR HL are just the third slightly heavier sister.

I have lived that exact situation in the past. Perfect analogy 👌
 
this is really a pretty fun campaign they put together for these.


 
They are indeed .355. Just pulled a shaft and the replacement Steelfiber .355 shaft is a perfect fit.
 
Im SO freaking excited about the ZXiR HL's. Knowing how well my ZX5 MKii's perform when I actually make a solid swing just gives me even more confidence these will be so fitting

I'm curious what big OEM is NOT 0.355 at this point. :unsure:
 
I don't have launch monitor numbers, but from on-course play I can say that the descent angle on the ZXiR HLs is insanely good. If you can't hold a green with these irons, you can't hold a green with anything.

I've had my ZXiR HL's 5 days now (5i - AW) and have hit them twice at a dome (Toptracer) and once with a simulator. Michigan weather is still too cold but will warm up shortly. Descent angles have all been in the 41° - 48°, even with a well struck 5 iron. I'm using their KBS MAX graphite 55 R flex (high launch) shafts which certainly help. They feel great too, I-Alloy is softer that 431 steel. My swing speed with a driver is about 82-85 mph for reference. At 75 years I and can say these have restored my excitement for iron play.
 
I've tried lots of different irons out on the range over the past 2 years and these ZXiR HL are
easily the best for my game.

I am only at 75mph and these have given me more speed. distance and height
than any of the ones below (for me).

Plus they feel great

I put Zelos 8 stiff shafts in them and the combination is magic

These are some of the ones I have tested

The ZXiRs have entered into my mind space. With all of the data I shared during a virtual fitting the fitter is recommending I give them a try. I'll admit I didn't pay much attention to them at launch because I thought they were just another GI iron.
