Which to choose

The biggest difference is how consistently testers rated forgiveness and launch. Reviewers agree the ZXi4 is forgiving, with off-centre strikes losing little distance and staying on line, and most saw a high flight. Opinions on the ZX4 Mk II split: forgiveness ranged from moderate to strong, and some testers found the long irons hard to get up.

On paper the two are nearly the same. Both have a 28.5° 7-iron with a 62° lie and 10° of bounce, and the ZXi4 is slightly longer at about 37.25 inches against 37 inches. Reviewers agreed the ZX4 Mk II feels solid and soft on centre strikes. Reports on the ZXi4's feel ranged from soft to firm.

Choose the SRIXON ZX4 Mk II Irons if…

you're a mid handicapper with a moderate swing speed who wants distance from a fairly compact head with a soft centre-strike feel, or you want strong long irons to pair with ZX5 or ZX7 irons in a combo set.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi4 Irons if…

you're a mid-to-high handicapper who mainly wants forgiveness on mishits and a high, straight flight, with the option of adding ZXi5 short irons for more stopping power.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch: ZXi4 Flies High More Consistently

Opinions on the ZX4 Mk II's flight were split. One reviewer saw a slightly lower flight from the stronger lofts, and another found it low, with a 4-iron that was hard to get high enough to hold a long par 4. In testing videos, one set of hosts reported good peak height and one presenter called the 7-iron's height ridiculous. For the ZXi4, two reviewers described a high or fairly high flight, and one presenter called it among the highest-launching irons he had tested. One video, though, measured mid launch, slightly lower than the ZX4 Mk II. Overall, high flight came up more often for the ZXi4.

Forgiveness: ZXi4 Rated Higher Overall

Reviewers had mixed views on the ZX4 Mk II. One article called its forgiveness good but not exceptional, and one testing video said it was less than the reviewer wanted, with toe strikes losing noticeable ball speed and carry. Others found that mishits lost only a little distance and kept a consistent pattern. For the ZXi4, one reviewer said it was more forgiving than the hollow body suggests. Another found limited distance loss and good directional stability, though less forgiveness than the largest game-improvement irons. One video called it outstanding, and another credited its wide V-shaped sole on fat and thin strikes. The ZXi4 drew fewer reservations here.

Feel and Sound: Soft Centre Hits on Both

Several reviewers described the ZX4 Mk II as soft or solid on centre strikes, and one credited the forged face. The caveats were about mishits and speed. One reviewer said thin shots can sting, one video found toe strikes felt poor, and one presenter found the face hot and clicky at high swing speed. On sound, one reviewer called it quiet and solid, and another said it was not clicky. For the ZXi4, one reviewer said it felt soft even on toe and heel strikes. Another felt a slight hollow-body click, and one found it firmer than expected. Two reviewers heard it get snappier from the short irons to the long irons. Feel reports were less uniform for the ZXi4.

Distance: ZX4 Mk II Is the Longer Pick

Every review of the ZX4 Mk II rated it long. Reviewers called it very long or a distance iron, crediting the strong lofts. In one testing video the reviewer said it was too long for his own bag, and one presenter found the extra distance and height hard to control in wind at his speed. The ZXi4 got more mixed distance reviews. One reviewer called it a long-distance iron, and another praised consistent yardages but said it is less extreme than the biggest game-improvement models. One video rated it average to below average among 2025 irons, and another found it carried farther than the ZXi5. The ZX4 Mk II was rated long more consistently.
