Srixon ZXi Driver Specs Chart

The Srixon ZXi driver lineup launched with three distinct models — the standard ZXi, the low-spin ZXi LS, and the max-forgiveness ZXi MAX. Each targets a different swing profile, so the specs matter more than the marketing. Here’s the full spec chart and what each number actually means for your ball flight.

Specs vary by region and custom order; verify locally before purchasing.

One important boundary: the specs above reflect standard US retail configurations. Japan-market and custom-order ZXi drivers can ship with different stock shafts (often Mitsubishi Chemical options), different grip sizes, and slightly different lie angles. If you’re ordering from a non-US retailer or through a custom fitting cart, confirm the exact shaft and lie specs before you commit — the head performance is the same, but the stock build can change how the club feels and performs.

What the Three Models Are Built For

Srixon ZXi (standard) — The balanced option. It’s designed for golfers who want a blend of distance and forgiveness without giving up workability. The center of gravity (CG) sits mid-height, which produces a mid-launch, mid-spin window. If you hit a consistent fade or draw and want the driver to hold that shape, this is the one.

Srixon ZXi LS (low spin) — The LS model is for higher swing speeds (roughly 105+ mph) who struggle with excess spin, especially on mishits toward the toe. The CG is positioned lower and more forward compared to the standard ZXi. That forward CG reduces dynamic loft at impact, which drops spin and flattens the trajectory. You’ll trade some forgiveness for that spin reduction.

Srixon ZXi MAX (maximum forgiveness) — The MAX model pushes the CG deeper and slightly higher. That rearward placement increases the moment of inertia (MOI), which means less club head twisting on off-center hits. If your miss is toward the heel or toe, the MAX will keep ball speed and direction more consistent than the other two models. Launch is higher, spin is higher, and the face is more closed at address for golfers who tend to slice.

The i-FLEX Face and Star Frame Crown: What the Tech Changes

The ZXi series uses two structural changes worth knowing before you buy.

i-FLEX Face — Srixon redesigned the face thickness pattern for the ZXi generation. The center of the face is thinner than the previous ZX5/ZX7 models, while the interior structure behind the face is stronger. That combination allows the face to flex more at impact without cracking. The practical effect is higher ball speed on strikes below the center of the face — the most common miss for most amateurs. Srixon claims this produces more efficient energy transfer, and the design direction matches what other major OEMs have done with variable face thickness.

Star Frame Crown — The crown uses a latticework structure inside the carbon-like material. This serves two purposes: it saves weight that gets repositioned lower in the head, and it stiffens the crown so more energy goes into the face at impact rather than being absorbed by the top of the club. You won’t see this at address — it’s hidden under the paint — but it’s the reason the CG positions differ across the three models.

The practical implication for your next purchase: if you’re coming from a ZX5 or ZX7 driver, the ZXi standard model is the closest direct replacement. The ZXi LS is not an upgraded ZX7 — it’s a different animal entirely. If you were happy with the forgiveness of your ZX5, jumping to the LS because you want “newer tech” could cost you 300–500 RPM of spin you actually need to keep the ball in the air. Match the model to your spin numbers, not to the release cycle.

Stock Shaft Options and Fitting Notes

All three ZXi models ship with the Project X HZRDUS Black shaft family. This is a low-launch, low-spin shaft profile. It’s stout and counterbalanced, which means it plays firmer than its flex rating suggests in some cases.

• HZRDUS Black 5.5 — Regular flex, roughly 50-60g range. Suited for swing speeds around 85–95 mph.
• HZRDUS Black 6.0 — Stiff flex, roughly 60-70g range. Suited for swing speeds around 95–105 mph.
• HZRDUS Black 6.5 — X-stiff flex, roughly 60-70g range. Suited for swing speeds 105+ mph.

If you’re between flexes, err toward the heavier/stiffer option only if your tempo is aggressive. The HZRDUS Black is not a smooth-loading shaft — it’s designed for players who transition hard and want the tip to stay stable through impact.

Here’s a concrete way to verify your fit before buying: check your driver swing speed on a launch monitor, then look at your current shaft’s flex and weight. If you’re at 97 mph with a smooth tempo and your current stiff shaft feels fine, the 6.0 is the right call. If you’re at 97 mph but your transition is aggressive and you feel the club lag behind you, the 6.5 will keep the face square longer. The HZRDUS Black 6.5 is not just for 110+ mph swingers — it’s for anyone who loads the shaft hard.

Adjustability: What the Hosel Sleeve Actually Does

The ZXi drivers use a dual-ring hosel sleeve that adjusts loft and lie independently. You get:

• Loft adjustment: ±1.5° from the stamped loft
• Lie adjustment: up to 2° upright or flat

Here’s the practical rule: if you’re hooking the ball, flatten the lie slightly. If you’re fading it too much, make it more upright. Loft changes affect spin more than launch — adding loft increases spin, decreasing loft cuts spin.

One warning: changing loft on the sleeve also changes the face angle. Opening the face (lowering loft) makes the club sit slightly open at address, which can help a slice but feel uncomfortable if you’re used to a square face.

A common mismatch: golfers set the sleeve to max loft (e.g., 12.0° on a 10.5° head) expecting more carry, but the closed face angle that comes with it starts producing hooks. If you need more height, the better move is often going up a head loft rather than cranking the sleeve. The sleeve is for fine-tuning, not for transforming the club’s launch character. If you find yourself at the extreme end of the adjustment range, you bought the wrong loft.

How to Choose Between the Three

Use this decision rule based on your numbers, not your handicap:

Your Situation	Choose
Swing speed under 95 mph, want max height and forgiveness	ZXi MAX
Swing speed 95–105 mph, consistent contact, want balanced performance	ZXi
Swing speed 105+ mph, spin above 2,800 RPM with driver, want to flatten trajectory	ZXi LS

If you don’t know your spin numbers, book a fitting. The difference between the standard ZXi and the LS can be 300–500 RPM of spin, which translates to 10–20 yards of roll or carry depending on your launch angle. That’s not a guess — that’s the measurable effect of moving CG forward.

The trade-off you need to accept: the LS is the longest model only if your launch angle stays above roughly 12°. If you have a negative angle of attack or already launch the ball low, the LS will produce a knuckleball trajectory that falls out of the air. In that case, the standard ZXi with a slightly higher loft setting is the safer pick. The MAX, meanwhile, will never be the lowest-spin option — but it will keep your bad drives in play, which is worth more than 10 yards on the occasional flushed one.

Common Mistakes When Buying a ZXi Driver

Buying the LS because you want “more distance” without checking spin. If your spin is already below 2,400 RPM, the LS will cost you carry distance. Low spin is only good if your launch angle is high enough to keep the ball in the air.

Ignoring shaft flex. The stock HZRDUS Black plays firm. If you’re a smooth swinger at 95 mph, the 6.0 stiff might feel boardy. Get fit for the right flex before assuming the stock option works.

Assuming the MAX is only for high handicaps. The MAX is the most forgiving, but it also launches highest. If you have a steep angle of attack and need help getting the ball up, the MAX can help a low-handicap player too.

Skipping the lie adjustment. Most golfers never touch the lie setting on their driver, but the ZXi sleeve gives you 2° of adjustment in each direction. If your misses are consistently toward the heel with a hook, flattening the lie can straighten that out without changing your swing. It’s a free fix that most players leave on the table.

FAQ

What is the difference between Srixon ZXi and ZXi LS?

The ZXi LS positions the center of gravity more forward and lower, which reduces spin and launch angle compared to the standard ZXi. The standard ZXi offers more forgiveness and a higher launch window.

Is the Srixon ZXi driver forgiving?

The standard ZXi and ZXi MAX both offer strong forgiveness. The ZXi MAX is the most forgiving of the three due to its deeper CG placement, which increases resistance to twisting on off-center hits.

What shaft comes stock in the Srixon ZXi driver?

The stock shaft is the Project X HZRDUS Black, available in 5.5 (regular), 6.0 (stiff), and 6.5 (x-stiff) flexes.

Can you adjust the loft on the Srixon ZXi driver?

Yes, the hosel sleeve allows loft adjustments of ±1.5° from the stamped loft, plus lie angle adjustments up to 2° upright or flat.

What swing speed suits the Srixon ZXi LS?

The LS model is best suited for swing speeds around 105 mph and above, particularly for players who generate excessive spin with their current driver.

Does the ZXi MAX sit closed at address?

Yes, the MAX model has a slightly more closed face angle compared to the standard ZXi and ZXi LS. This is intentional — it helps golfers who tend to slice get the face square at impact without manipulating their hands.

The ZXi lineup gives you three clear paths depending on your spin rate and miss pattern. Get your numbers measured, match them to the CG placement, and the right model becomes obvious. The specs only tell you part of the story — your launch monitor data tells you the rest.
