Which to choose

The biggest difference is spin and forgiveness. The standard ZXi launches mid to slightly high with mid or slightly above-mid spin, and it holds ball speed and line well on off-centre strikes. The ZXi LS spins less and flies flatter and more penetrating, with good roll. It gives strong ball speed and distance on centred hits, but most testers find it less forgiving: launch, spin and distance vary more on mishits.

On paper the two are almost identical. Both have 460cc titanium heads with 59° lie and 45.75-inch length at 10.5°, and the LS weighs 317 g against the ZXi's 316 g. Testers describe the ZXi's flight as mostly straight and the LS as neutral to slightly fade-biased.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi Driver if…

you swing at slow to moderate speeds, up to about 100 mph, and want forgiveness, easier launch and steady ball speed when you miss the centre.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi LS Driver if…

you're a skilled player with a medium-to-fast swing who makes too much spin, hits the centre consistently and wants a lower, more penetrating flight with more roll.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
The standard ZXi is. It holds ball speed and line well on off-centre strikes, while most testers found the LS loses distance on mishits and its launch and spin vary more.
Which one should a faster swinger choose?
Many golfers swinging over 100 mph find the standard ZXi spins too much, so the lower-spinning LS often suits them better. A fitting that compares the two is still recommended.
Do they differ in shot shape?
Testers found the ZXi mostly straight and neutral. Views on the LS range from neutral to a slight fade bias.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The LS Flies Flatter

Reviewers mostly found the standard ZXi easy to launch. One said it flew higher on course than on the launch monitor, and one testing video called launch average for the loft, a little higher at slower speeds. Spin was described as mid. One testing video found it too much for a fast swinger but helpful for slower golfers, and another said it ran a little high for his optimal numbers on some shots. With the LS, one reviewer saw a flatter flight with more roll. Another found launch and spin swung around on mishits. In one video it launched well for a low-spin head but flew low at slow speeds. The LS lowers spin and flight, but it needs speed and a good strike to work.

Forgiveness: The Standard ZXi Gets Steadier Praise

Four reviewers rated the standard ZXi as forgiving. They pointed to strong ball speed on poor strikes, stable curvature on toe hits and small spin changes on high and low contact. One said carry varied little across the face. In one testing video it held a reasonable line on off-centre strikes, though that tester saw the MAX as more helpful. Opinions on the LS were split. One reviewer found its forgiveness limited and said it lost ball speed faster than the standard ZXi, while another said mishits held up well. In one video, ball-speed retention was very good, yet the LS was still called the least forgiving of three heads for distance. Praise for the standard ZXi on mishits is more consistent, while the LS gets mixed reports.

Feel and Sound: Split Opinions on Both

Several reviewers praised the standard ZXi's feel: light in the swing and solid at impact, with clear feedback from the titanium face. Opinions on its sound were split. One reviewer disliked it as noticeably loud, while others called it high-pitched but pleasant, a strong mid-volume crack or slightly muted. In one testing video, the LS was the reviewer's favourite of the three heads for feel and he preferred its sound, but heel strikes felt poor and toe strikes twisted. One reviewer said centred hits sounded rich and off-centre ones louder and more metallic. Both have titanium faces, and for each, the verdict on feel and sound came down partly to personal taste.

Looks at Address: The LS Sits Squarer

Reviewers mostly liked the standard ZXi's classic shape, its textured, fast-looking top and its alignment aid. There were two complaints: one reviewer felt the head sat slightly open at standard loft, and another said the Y-shaped alignment aid sits off the geometric centre. The LS got praise for its classic, rounded shape and matte black finish, which one reviewer called fast and stealthy. Another said it sits closer to square than the standard ZXi. In one testing video the LS looked visibly smaller at address, even though both heads are listed at 460cc, and the triangular sole was called polarising. If the standard model's slightly open look bothers you, the LS may suit your eye better.
