Srixon ZXi RKT Fairway review

Srixon ZXi RKT Fairway Woods and Hybrids Add Adjustability

The new Srixon ZXi RKT drivers have delivered a great deal of early buzz, and for good reason. Srixon completely reworked the face, chassis and acoustics, while the new driver family arrived with some impressive TOUR validation already behind it. 

The new Srixon ZXi RKT Fairways and ZXi RKT Hybrids share much of the same performance architecture as the drivers, including RKT Face, Variable Roll Design and Rebound Frame. More importantly for these clubs, Srixon has also added a much broader fitting system. For the first time, adjustable sole weights and adjustable hosel sleeves work together in both categories. 

For golfers trying to dial in launch and distance gaps at the top of the bag, that added adjustability could make a meaningful difference.  

RKT Face Expands Beyond the Driver

Srixon Zxi Fairways

We covered RKT Face in more detail with the new driver family, where Srixon combined several face and body technologies into a single system designed around ball speed and consistency. 

The fairway woods and hybrids use their own versions of that architecture. Both get a refined i-FLEX face thickness pattern, Rebound Frame and Variable Roll Design. Srixon says i-FLEX allows the face to be made thinner for increased ball speed, while Rebound Frame uses two flex zones to increase energy transfer through the face and body. 

Variable Roll Design is aimed at accuracy when contact moves around the face, with Srixon specifically calling out its ability to help suppress hooks on high-toe strikes. If you’re anything like us, you know the pain associated with that particular miss. 

Srixon ZXi RKT Fairways 

The ZXi RKT Fairway Woods are Srixon’s most adjustable fairways to date. Every model combines the QTS 1.5 adjustable hosel with a single adjustable sole weight. The standard weight is 10 grams, and Srixon offers additional weights from 2 through 16 grams. The goal isn’t directional bias like we see with the standard RKT driver. Instead, the system gives golfers and fitters another way to work with swing weight, club feel, launch and distance gapping. 

The hosel adds another layer of fitting flexibility. There are 12 settings that adjust loft, lie and face angle, with loft moving as much as 1.5 degrees in either direction.

Srixon also uses a lightweight carbon-fiber crown in the 3+ and 3-wood. According to the company, that saves mass high in the head so it can be repositioned lower while helping maximize COR. 

The lineup includes a 13.5-degree 3+, 15-degree 3-wood, 18-degree 5-wood and 21-degree 7-wood. The 3-wood and 5-wood are available for both right- and left-handed golfers. 

A Mitsubishi Kai’li Dark Waves Blue 60 is the primary stock shaft, with lighter Red CB options available for R and R2 flexes. 

Srixon ZXi RKT Hybrids 

The hybrids follow a similar formula but with a more compact shape intended to work from a wider variety of lies. Srixon describes the ZXi RKT Hybrid as being shaped for control, with loft and CG characteristics intended to provide performance from tight fairway lies, rough and fairway bunkers. 

Like the fairway woods, every hybrid uses a standard 10-gram adjustable sole weight along with the QTS 1.5 hosel. That makes it possible to change loft and lie while also adjusting overall head weight and swing feel, which should be especially useful when trying to build clean gaps at the top of the bag.

There are five lofts in the men’s lineup: 17, 19, 22, 25 and 28 degrees. The 19- and 22-degree models are available left-handed as well. Head volume progressively decreases from 122cc in the 2-hybrid to 113cc in the 6-hybrid. 

The stock Mitsubishi MMT HY offering also changes with flex and weight. X and S builds use the heavier MMT HY 80 profile, while R and A flexes move into the lighter 60-gram range. 

Our Take 

The driver may be the headline product in the ZXi RKT launch, but the fairways and hybrids could end up being very interesting from a fitting standpoint. 

Adjustable hosels aren’t unusual in these categories anymore but combining them with interchangeable sole weights gives golfers another practical way to work through distance gaps and overall club feel. That’s particularly useful in hybrids, where one golfer may want something that behaves more like a long iron while another is looking for an easier-launching club that bridges directly into a fairway wood. 

The other part worth watching is how successfully Srixon carries the RKT Face performance story through the rest of the lineup. They don’t appear to be afterthoughts, wearing the same name as the new drivers. Srixon has made changes to the face architecture and fitting options that are legitimate improvements. 

Srixon ZXi RKT Fairways and Hybrids Pricing and Availability

The Srixon ZXi RKT Fairway Woods are priced at $379.99, while the ZXi RKT Hybrids are $329.99. Both will be available October 16, 2026. 

The fairway family includes 3+, 3, 5 and 7-wood options. The hybrid lineup runs from 17 through 28 degrees. Both categories use Srixon’s QTS 1.5 adjustable hosel and a single adjustable sole weight.
