Which to choose

The biggest difference is adjustability. The ZXi has an adjustable hosel for changing loft and face angle, which makes it easier to fit to your speed and to the gap below your driver. The ZX Mk II has a fixed loft. Testers also singled out the ZX Mk II for an easy, high launch off the deck and on weaker swings. Their reports on the ZXi's flight range from medium to high.

Feel and sound also set them apart. Testers called the ZXi solid, stable and quiet, while their reactions to the ZX Mk II ranged from solid to firm and from powerful to a bit tinny. Both hold up well on mishits, and testers disagree about distance for each. The ZXi's 13.5° head measures 187cc, and the ZX Mk II's 15° head measures 175cc.

Choose the SRIXON ZX Mk II Fairway Wood if…

you struggle to get fairway woods airborne and want an easy, high launch and consistent results off the turf, and a fixed-loft head doesn't bother you.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi Fairway Wood if…

you want one adjustable fairway wood that can be fitted for loft and face angle and used off the tee, from the fairway and into greens, with a solid, quiet feel.

Is it worth upgrading from the ZX Mk II to the ZXi?

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The ZX Mk II Gets Up Easier

For the ZX Mk II, one reviewer reported a high launch that held up even on weaker swings. Others found it easy to get airborne from a range of lies, including off the deck, and one tester got plenty of height even with a mid-to-high launch shaft. One reviewer saw low spin and a penetrating flight on good strikes, and one tester called its spin consistency outstanding. Two reviews, though, found that thin or low-face strikes added spin. On the ZXi, views were split: reviewers described its trajectory as medium, as mid and easy to launch, and as high and lofty. Its spin was rated moderate. Overall, the ZX Mk II drew more consistent praise for launch, while reports on the ZXi's flight varied more.

Feel and Sound: Split Views on the ZX Mk II

Opinions on the ZX Mk II were mixed. One reviewer called its feel middle-of-the-road but praised a strong, round, metallic sound, even on mishits. Another heard a somewhat tinny tone that wasn't off-putting. In testing videos, one reviewer liked a springy feel that made misses easy to read, and another found it firm across the face. The ZXi got more uniformly positive reactions. One reviewer said mishits didn't sting the hands, and testers in another review rated its feel highly, with one calling it the best-feeling club in the group. One tester said it sounded good, and another reviewer found it very easy to swing. Reactions to the ZXi were more consistent, while the ZX Mk II divided reviewers on both feel and sound.

Distance: Mixed Reports for Both Models

One reviewer credited the ZX Mk II with strong distance, citing fast ball speed together with high launch and low spin. In one testing video, ball speed was very consistent and carry was tightly grouped. Two other reviews placed it mid-pack in the category, and one reviewer said it is not the choice for maximum distance. For the ZXi, one reviewer called ball speed its standout trait, noting that it keeps much of that speed on mishits, and testers in another review reported good, consistent distance. One reviewer, however, found it shorter than his own 3-wood and felt it suits approach shots better than tee shots. Neither model drew a clear verdict on distance, and each got both strong and middling reports.

Looks at Address: Compact or Pear-Shaped

Reviewers didn't agree on how big the ZX Mk II looks. One described a compact, slightly triangular head with a shallow face that inspires confidence off the turf. Others saw a generous or fairly large-looking head. Two reviews praised the matte finish, one saying it works well in sunlight and the other that it avoids glare. The stepped carbon crown divided opinion, although one reviewer didn't mind it. The ZXi was described as slightly pear-shaped, sitting between game-improvement and players' dimensions. One reviewer called it understated and professional, and another said leading-edge tweaks make the toe look more grounded. Overall, the ZXi's shape drew more consistent descriptions than the ZX Mk II's.

Forgiveness: Both Hold Up, ZX Mk II Tested More

The ZX Mk II's forgiveness came up in every review. One reviewer said it has plenty of forgiveness, and another found it easy to strike even from the first cut of rough. In testing videos, one reviewer called it forgiving enough for an average golfer, though not in the ultra-forgiving tier. Another saw ball speed, spin and height stay consistent on off-center hits. For the ZXi, one reviewer pointed to good ball speed retention, stability on mishits and a tall face that inspires confidence off the tee. One tester found it forgiving, and another reviewer noted tight, consistent dispersion. Both models were seen as forgiving, but the ZX Mk II was assessed in more detail.
