GolfWRX Spotted: New Srixon ZX Series drivers
At GolfWRX, we are grateful to have the most intune-to-golf equipment forum on the internet. Once again thanks to member mrmikeac we have been informed of some new Srixon drivers that have recently hit the USGA conforming list: the Srixon ZX5, ZX7, and ZX7 T011.
We reached out to Srixon and the only official comment is, “Yes, it is a new driver that we have submitted to the USGA for testing, and more details for the clubs will be coming in the near future.”
Although we don’t have any official information on the technology in this driver, we can draw some conclusions based on the visual elements and markings acquired from the USGA information.
Srixon ZX5 driver
The ZX5 appears to be the most forgiving model of the hree based off of the single weight placement towards the back of the head. Generally, drivers in any OEM line designated “high MOI” only have one weight to save as much mass around the head as possible, and it’s almost always found towards the rear or slightly towards the heel. Also, Srixon uses the nomenclature to dictate the general target audience and “5” has traditionally been associated with more forgiving clubs compared to “7” and “9.”
Beyond the single weight and adjustable hosel, the only other thing we know for sure is the driver has what Srixon is calling “Rebound Frame” on the heel. We don’t know what this actually means, but if I was to speculate, it’s some type of structured shell inside of the head to brace the frame and help maintain ball speeds. The other telltale sign is that this driver comes in both 9.5 and 10.5 degrees of loft.
Srixon ZX7 driver
With the ZX7, two weight ports mean adjustability, and although it’s just a general observation, the ZX7 head also looks to be shorter front to back—potentially to lower spin. Like the ZX5, it is branded with “Rebound Frame,” and thanks to the shorter front-to-back length, the ZX7 will most likely have a deeper face. Lofts available based on USGA list are 9.5 and 10.5 degrees.
Srixon ZX7 T011 driver
The ZX7 T011 is the outlier here, but considering the available specs, we are going to assume this is the lowest spinning head of the three models, since based on the USGA information, it will only be available in a 9.5-degree head—something we have seen from other OEM’s with their models designed for faster players.
An interesting note in the ZX7 T011 is that it has dual hotmelt ports—one in both the heel and toe—not something you see very often on drivers. It could be that, since it is designed for faster swing speed players, this offers easier adjustability for heads that will be customized for tour players.
We won’t know for sure until we get more details on the newly spotted designs, but you can see what other GolfWRX members are saying about this in the forums: Spotted New Srixon driver on USGA List.
