Best Srixon Irons 2026
Srixon ZXiR HL Irons
Despite being a high-launch, super-game-improvement club, I found the Srixon ZHiR HL irons have avoided many of the flaws other similar irons have that often turn golfers away. The clubhead is undeniably large, and the offset is clearly visible, but the shaping is nowhere near as chunky as I thought it would be. Most importantly for me, the back of the club is not visible at address, which I thought gave the club a cleaner look to it.
The main performance benefits are as the name would suggest; high launch. The ZHiR HL irons are built to launch the ball high, and during testing, I found they delivered exactly that.
Although the ZHiR HL irons have more loft than the standard model, they still delivered very respectable distances.

Ball speed remained high thanks to the MainFrame design, and even mishits travelled well enough to remain competitive. The HL irons are not built to be distance-dominant, but they are long enough, and consistently long at that.
PROS
- Extremely high launch
- Outstanding forgiveness across the face
- Typically Srixon soft feel
CONS
- Launch may be too high for some players

Srixon ZXiR Irons
Srixon ZXi7 Irons
Cracking looking players’ irons that utilise a compact profile to deliver a supreme feel. A feel that is soft and pure.
The progressive groves are a huge plus and, in my opinion, are what help to separate Srixon players’ irons from their competitors. Consistent spin and better all round performance are the product of this technology.
Other things to note, in the new Srixon ZXi7 irons is that they have a new pure frame design on the back of the clubs which is slightly bigger than the previous model which makes the sweet spot bigger improving the feel across the face. Srixon have also included their Tour V.T sole in the design to help the club move through the turf with a smoother glide.
Overall, the Srixon ZXi7 irons would get my recommendation. I have always preferred the look of a players’ iron and these sharp looking irons are no different. They sound amazing, feel incredible and the performance is top quality. Full marks for the Srixon ZXi7 iron.
PROS
- Soft feel
- Consistent spin
- Great turf interaction

For golfers looking for a bit more distance with their irons then these are ideal. The launch is fairly similar to that of the longer irons which enhances the distance as well as the drop in spin and jump in ball speed.
PROS
- Great distance
- Look sharp and compact
- Feel incredible
CONS
- Not enough spin on shorter irons

Srixon ZX5 MK II Irons
The Srixon ZX5 MKII irons are the middle ground between the tour-preferred ZX7 and the game-improvement ZX4. The head has a slightly thicker sole and top line than the ZX7 giving it a bit more meat behind the strike.
These irons will suit a player looking for more distance and forgiveness packed into a players looking head. You will see these irons in many bags at your golf club this year as they look and feel amazing.
Srixon have done such a good job making the ZX4 MKII appealing to look at that they don’t give off the game improvement club vibe you normally get, and I think a lot of players will see the distance and forgiveness gains and overlook the ZX5 MKII. They’ve almost done too good a job with them.
Where I see the ZX5 MKII irons fitting into players’ bags is probably in a split set with one of the other iron models. They offer complimentary forgiveness and distance to top out a set of ZX7 irons and are just a bit more controllable than the ZX4 irons in the short irons for that to be a good option too.
PROS
- Look brilliant behind the ball
- Plenty of forgiveness on off-centre hits
- A more controlled players’ distance iron than others on the market
CONS
- The other models in the ZX MKII range are so good the ZX5 MKII almost struggle for identity

I do think that these irons have a great potential to help short hitters gain some much-needed distance, or for a mid to low handicapper to play in a split set. They look so similar to the ZX5 MKII and ZX7 MKII irons that you could seamlessly blend them into a split set for more control with the short irons and more forgiveness with the longer clubs.
These irons won’t find their way into my bag, but I know plenty of golfers that I’m going to recommend them to as they were wonderful to hit.
PROS
- Forged face feels so soft
- Crazy long ball speeds
- Forgiving on off-centre strikes
CONS
- Super strong lofts produced a pretty low flight for me which may not suit everyone
