It isn’t a complete metalwood lineup without fairway woods and hybrids, and with the new ZXi release, Srixon is looking to gain a little more traction where those options are concerned. The name of the game here is playability, both through technology as well as loft options, and Srixon is bringing plenty of each to the table.
2025 Srixon ZXi Hybrid
Starting with the hybrids, the ZX MKII hybrids flew under the radar the last release cycle, but in testing and feedback from THP’ers certainly offered rock solid performance. The focus for Srixon this time around has turned to finding increased ball speed and playability.

To address the speed and power part of the equation, the ZXi hybrids are utilizing the Rebound Frame with its dual flex zones to maximize the overall face flex. Taking that further, a hybrid specific version of iFLEX Face has created a totally new face pattern to optimize this specific shaping.
Speaking of shape, the overall size of the hybrids has increased in ZXi with the 2H coming in at 121cc and the 5H as well as 6H at 112cc. Part of this was creating slightly larger toe and rear areas of the clubheads which look to provide more confidence at setup. Combine all of this and the internal testing from Srixon from real golfers has shown a 2.4 yard jump in carry distances.

If that wasn’t enough, things are now rounded out by the inclusion of Srixon’s all new adapter design which brings +/- 1.5-degrees of loft adjustability to the table.
The ZXi hybrids are available in 2H – 6H (17, 19, 22, 25, 28 degrees) and are paired standard with the non-VeloCore Fujikura Ventus TB Blue HB (8/7 – A, R, S, X). Additionally, there is a women’s version available in 4H – 6H (22, 25, 28) that is matched with a shorter and lighter Aldila Ascent PL 40 shaft.
2025 Srixon ZXi Fairway Woods

As for the new ZXi fairway woods, the story is a very similar one to the hybrids in that the goal was more distance, though there is an understanding here that golfers use the 3W differently than they do their higher lofted fairways. To address that, the 3W and 3+ feature both a carbon crown with the “Crown Step”. We have this in both Srixon and Cleveland Golf fairway woods for a few releases now, however, the 5W and 7W do not feature that step. This was done to differentiate the heads as 3W is typically a distance club for golfers, but more spin and control is preferred in the higher lofted options.

On top of that, Rebound Frame is present with its dual flex zones and here too Srixon has applied the new iFLEX Face for more efficient transfer of energy, and thus, speed. There is a refinement in shaping as well with emphasis on creating a more “Tour” like visual, a big part of that being a lower toe and altered leading edge which allows the clubhead to sit flatter at address.

But wait, there really is more, we were able to get one of the new ZXi fairways in hand prior to this release in order to put it through its paces. Working with the 15-degree 3W, this fairway head packs a punch in a few different ways. First off, the step is a lot to look down at. However, with how the clubhead sits at address from both turf and tee combined with the matte black finish it should appeal to more eyes. Kudos to Srixon here for keeping the look clean and mean instead of slapping crown graphics all over it.
The Data – ZXi Fairway
Working with the 3W both on the course as well as the launch monitor, there is some sneaky power here, much more than anticipated if we are being honest. The data set provided for the ZXi is based on a set of 12 shots where the two biggest outliers were tossed out, and as you will see, there is a lot to like. For sheer off the tee power, this one was a lot of fun to hit, offering a flight which got way up there, but worked to the apex without excess spin. Add in speeds which are as good as anything out there, and it was easy to see why Srixon is claiming a 4.6 yard increase from the MKII fairways.

Of course, there is more than just launch monitor data to consider. Where feedback goes, there is a dense but robust sound that manages to be solid yet not crunchy like some fairways which use carbon. Off the deck, the 187cc size didn’t keep me from being able to hit shots into par 5’s when the opportunity presented itself. It is worth noting that on all shots, it did respond remarkably well to misses higher on the face which no doubt the crown step is playing a role in providing.
Like the hybrids, full adjustability is also present in the fairways bringing +/- 1.5 degrees of fine tuning to the 3+ (13.5), 3W (15.0), 5W (18.0) and 7W (21) heads. The standard shaft option in the ZXi fairways is the non-VeloCore Fujikura Ventus TR Blue (6/5 – A, R, S, X). Also, there will be 5W and 7W options available in a women’s version paired with the Aldila Ascent PL 40.
The Details – Srixon ZXi Hybrid and Fairways
As you can see, the Srixon ZXi hybrid and fairway woods bring a lot to the table in Srixon’s goal of providing a dynamic and complete lineup to golfers of all skillsets. Both lineups will hit retail on 1/24/25 with the fairways at $329.99 and hybrids priced at $279.99.

I love my Srixon 3-wood and can’t wait to test out the new one. 3+ is really interesting.
7 wood may be in my near future too
I’m curious to see these in person. That step down feels like it could be a turbulator-esque situation.
Thanks for the details [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]
These look clean and were a wonderful surprise in just about every way. The iFlex and the differences as the progress really shine. Not surprised at all to hear [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER] say they seemed pretty hot. Just tons of fun in a really nice package. Awesome stuff from Srixon this year!
Srixon nailed it in the looks department with these! I’ll be honest in saying that I’ve never given them much of a glance in the past. That’s going to change for sure on these. I want to give the hybrid some swings and see what it can do.
Wasn’t expecting a 13.5* option. That makes things interesting in the choices department.
Great article [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]. These look really good. Loved the last iteration of the hybrids.

Is that a yes??
the sole visual is straight up dark knight vibes. I can’t track the right word so I’m going with that for now.
I am really into it. Love the matte crown and that sort of angular shaping that frames the head.
i-Flex face is ABSOLUTELY a question I am taking with me to Briggs.
Landing on that geometry is sooooo interesting and I can’t wait to hear about the number of variations were required to land on something satisfying their goals.
“dense” sound is exactly what I am looking for with a fairway James. What an interesting reaction, and at your speed, something I’m eager to test for myself.
obnoxious, tinny, manufactured sounds are a total miss for these clubs. Dense is everything.
I am really interested in learning more about the i-Flex technology. The woods and hybrids look amazing! The excitement for the entire lineup keeps increasing for me.
Love my MkIi 4h. Would love to see how well the adjustability works for a lower lofted hybrid. Maybe a 2h with the bigger head to see what kind of distance it could get.

Why the +?
I have my eye on the hybrid. They looking real good! It is time to move on from my driving iron.
Great articles again [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]! Srixon’s really been making strides in metalwoods the past few years. I’ll be interested to try these when they land on this side too.
Thank you again [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]
Carbon crown on fairway blends in perfectly. Thank THP for this opportunity again!!!
Beautiful. Srixon wins for me so far. Would put all their releases in my bag.
These look fricking clean!
These look really good. I’ve been excited to see the Srixon adjustable hybrid. I do have a question for anyone that has seen these in person: the bottom heel/hosel on the website shows the adjustable hosel sticking down a little bit in pictures. How significant is this or is it just that image?
The ZX5Mkii hybrid was one I considered perfect (for me) in almost every way. Loved the shape, ball flight, playability, and it gapped well. What could have made it better? Adjustability. Love to see that included in the ZXi line.
Nailed the looks here and it sounds like the performance backs it up.
That 3+ 3W sounds spicy.
3W+ huh? I’m interested to learn a little more about that. Per the article looks like it’s a stronger lofted option at 13.5°.

Yup, most + models are stronger lofted, a fun option to have but definitely not going to be for everyone imo
Is the thought behind it to be almost like a mini-mini driver? Maybe built more around a second option off the tee while also providing some playability off the turf?
And yeah it’s definitely not for me. But I’m still interested in the reason it exists.
the MKii hybrids were super underrated, they owned that “true” (smaller) hybrid space. going bigger might be a better options for the masses though.
Definitely going to trying out the hybrids at some point!
Great write up!
I have a bag full (literally 12 clubs) of Cleveland/Srixon gear, but I’ve never hit a Srixon fairway or hybrid. I’ve been on an elusive search for a 5-wood for the last few years. I’m hoping this 5-wood may be the one I’m looking for…
Good looking club.

Options and fit, really.
I play strong 3’s because I hit it high with a standard 3w off the tee, too high for what I want it to be from there. Strong flattens that flight to apex, maximizes distance, and for me I can still hit them off the deck so no worries there.
It is however the 3w that will fit amateurs the least as 3w is the hardest club to hit in the bag hit most
Nice write up [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]
These look [B][I]really [/I][/B]good to me…and I think Srixon FW’s are some of the most underrated out there
Really digging these
Is this adjustable hybrid hosel more the traditional up is closed, down is open or is it more neutral?
Big decisions to make here. These look so good! Love that adjustabilty has been added along with the continuity of i-flex making it’s way over from the driver line.
I’ve played two of the last three iterations of Srixon fairways and they truly are stellar clubs. I will definitely give this one a hit with excitement.

Order placed earlier this week. I appreciate the review!
Srixon 5-wood arrived today. Had to take a few swings in the bay at the store to see how it was. It’s mostly a tee club. Numbers are right what I’d want. Gorgeous club. Look forward to an actual range session if I can get out before the rain tomorrow…
