Srixon has added the ZX Mk II irons (RRP £167 per club) and ZX Mk II Utility irons (RRP £219) to its line-up for 2023, offering a suite of options for players from tour professionals to club golfers with a combination of performance and feel.
“The technologies driving the exceptional performance of the ZX Mk II irons are really exciting to launch and get into golfer’s hands,” said Srixon general manager Brian Schielke. “Longer distances, improved feel, more control and greater consistency are seen throughout each new iron set, and they provide a seamless transition for building a combo set.”
The range is led by the ZX7 Mk II irons, described as a true players iron with incredible feel. PureFrame, which is forged into the body of the irons, enhances feel by reducing unwanted vibrations with an 80% thicker portion of 1020 carbon steel just behind the sweet spot.
Meanwhile, the rest of the ZX Mk II iron line features the second generation of Srixon’s MainFrame technology. A variable thickness pattern of grooves, channels and cavities carefully milled into the backside of the ZX4, ZX5 and ZX Mk II Utility iron faces, MainFrame maximises flex at impact. It not only boosts ball speed, but also repositions mass away from the face and into the toe for better forgiveness and consistency.
The ZX Mk II irons also feature Srixon’s Tour V.T. Sole and sole notches. The V-shaped design helps maintain clubhead speed through impact for a cleaner strike. Praised by Srixon tour staff, the sole notches lessen drag by reducing the amount of surface area that contacts the ground to improve shot versatility without sacrificing forgiveness.
To round out the new iron line-up, Srixon has introduced the Z-Forged II, a muscle back blade that offers exceptional feel and ultra-precise control. Designed in close collaboration with tour staff, Z-Forged II features a razor-sharp address profile, forged construction, and a highly workable sole design for skilled players who want the most from forged feel and stunning looks.
