Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much each driver is built to cut spin. Srixon designed the ZXi LS as the low-spin head of its family. Testers report a flatter, more penetrating flight with plenty of roll, but most also say it forgives mishits less than its siblings, and heel strikes feel harsh. Titleist's GT3 aims for low-to-mid spin and a stable, controlled flight. Testers split on its forgiveness: some found mishits stayed in play better than expected.

Both have 460cc heads and adjustable hosels. The ZXi LS uses movable weighting, while the GT3 has a sliding sole weight that clearly changes curve. The specs are close: the ZXi LS (10.5°) is 45.75 inches long and the GT3 (10°) is 45.5 inches.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi LS Driver if…

you're a fast swinger who makes a lot of spin and hits the centre consistently, and you want the lowest-spin, most penetrating flight with plenty of roll.

Choose the GT3 Driver if…

you want low-to-mid spin with a stable, controlled flight and a sliding sole weight that clearly shapes curve, and you're happy to pay a premium price and get properly fitted.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
Neither is built for maximum forgiveness. Most testers found the ZXi LS less forgiving, with distance, launch and spin varying on mishits. Testers split on the GT3, and some found its mishits stayed in play better than expected.
Which one spins less?
The ZXi LS is Srixon's dedicated low-spin model and gives a flatter flight with plenty of roll. The GT3 aims for low-to-mid spin and a stable, controlled flight.
Are they suitable for slower swing speeds?
Not really. Testers warn that slower swingers may get too little spin with either driver. Srixon points them to the standard ZXi or ZXi MAX, and Titleist to the GT2.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: Both Low, Both Need Fitting

For the ZXi LS, reviewers described reduced spin and a flatter, penetrating flight with good roll. In one testing video it launched well for a low-spin head, but at slower swing speeds the flight turned low and knuckling unless loft went up. That tester also found it fairly spinny for a low-spin head, and two reviewers saw launch and spin vary on some strikes. For the GT3, reviewers called launch higher than expected, good, or mid, and spin mid-to-low or low. One tester found spin lower than he wanted, and another said it got too low at slower speeds. The difference: the LS drew complaints about uneven spin, while the GT3 drew complaints about spin that can drop too low.

Forgiveness: Opinions Split on Both

The ZXi LS got mixed verdicts. One reviewer found mishits held up well. Another said it loses ball speed faster on misses than the standard ZXi and ZXi MAX, and moving the weight back only helps a little. In one testing video, ball-speed retention across the face was very good, yet the LS was still the least forgiving of the three ZXi heads for distance on mishits. The GT3 was split too. Several reviewers saw off-centre strikes stay straight and in play. One video called it picky about strike location, though, and another said it was more forgiving than expected but behind the GT2. The difference: the GT3 has more positive reports on mishits, but neither model is forgiving across the board.

Feel and Sound: Strict LS, Solid GT3

One tester picked the ZXi LS as his favourite of the three ZXi heads for feel and sound. He also said heel strikes feel noticeably worse and toe strikes feel twisty. One reviewer heard a rich sound on centred strikes and a louder, more metallic one on misses, and found the forward-weight setting strict. Reviewers described the GT3 as solid, meaty or firm. One video called it soft, almost like persimmon. Opinions on its sound varied: louder, quieter with a mild crack, softer than before, or crisp. One tester found its off-centre hits unpleasant and twisty. The difference: both lose feel away from the centre, but the GT3 gets more consistent praise for solid impact.

Shot Shape and Adjustability

One reviewer found a slight fade bias in the ZXi LS and noted that the adjustable hosel adds flight control. One testing video found it neutral from the centre, with toe strikes adding noticeable draw curvature. For the GT3, one reviewer saw the flight move clearly right with the weight toward the toe. Another said the CG track can reduce a hook or slice. One video found it neutral but saw toe-high hits curve strongly left, and another said it is not built for players who want a draw bias. One video called the weight system and SureFit hosel a standout strength. The difference: the GT3's movable weight gets more attention from reviewers as a way to shape the flight.
