Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much each has moved on from its predecessor. Srixon's ZXi5 is a forged, multi-material players-distance iron that reviewers say plays more like a game-improvement club, and they describe it as much the same as the earlier ZX5. Titleist's hollow-body T250 is called a clear step up from the T200 in looks, feel and sound, though testers question its price.

On paper the 7-irons are close: 31° vs 30.5° of loft, 62° vs 63° of lie, and 37.25 vs 37.0 inches long. On feel, opinions on the ZXi5 range from soft to punchy, while the T250 leans firm. Its compact head also rewards fairly consistent striking.

Choose the SRIXON ZXi5 Irons if…

you want a forged distance iron with predictable mishits that plays like a game-improvement club, or you're building a combo set with the ZXi7.

Choose the T250 Irons if…

you strike the ball fairly consistently and want a hollow-body players-style head with a thinner topline that pairs with the T150 or T100, and you're willing to pay a premium.

Common questions

Which one is the bigger upgrade over its previous model?
The T250. Reviewers call it a clear step up from the T200 in looks, feel and sound, while the ZXi5 looks and performs much like the ZX5.
Which one feels softer?
Neither is clearly softer. Some testers found the ZXi5 surprisingly soft and others found it firm and punchy, while the T250 feels solid and lively but firmer than the softest irons in its class.
Which one has more forgiveness?
Reviewers call both forgiving, but the ZXi5 is described as playing like a game-improvement iron. The T250's compact head still rewards fairly consistent ball striking, and thin, heel and toe strikes can lose distance.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Feel and Sound: Softer Srixon, Firmer Titleist

Reviewers were split on how the ZXi5 feels. Two called it soft, and one of them credited the face inserts. One reviewer found it solid and crisp with a firm click, and one testing video described a medium, punchy feel. One reviewer called the sound rich and solid, though the tone fades on heel and toe hits. The T250's feel was described as fast, strong and powerful. One video rated it 9/10, and another said it isn't the softest in its class. Comments on its sound were positive: crisp on centred strikes, more solid than earlier generations, and louder than the T100 and T150 because the body is hollow. The ZXi5 divided opinion more, while T250 verdicts were more consistently positive.

Launch and Spin: Short-Iron Spin Worries the ZXi5

Two reviewers said the ZXi5 launches high, especially in the long irons and on imperfect strikes. A third called it mid to mid-high. Opinions on spin were split. One reviewer found it too low to stop the ball on dry greens, and another said spin was good overall but lacking in the shorter irons. A third rated it strong and steady. Several T250 testers reported plenty of height, including on low strikes, though one reviewer saw a lower launch than with his previous irons. One video called the T250 a lower-spinning head but was happy with its spin on centre strikes, and one reviewer found its spin more consistent. Only the ZXi5 drew complaints about holding greens.

Forgiveness: Toe Strikes Separate Them

Reviewers rated the ZXi5 as forgiving, citing small distance and dispersion losses, predictable flight on mishits, and a wider sole with weight set further back. One testing video added a caveat: it found the ZXi5 clearly weaker on toe strikes than the newer 2026 model, though very forgiving on heel and low hits. Testers called the T250 forgiving too. They said heel and toe misses stay fairly straight, and one video rated it more forgiving than the T150 and T200. One reviewer said thin strikes still lose some distance, one video said off-centre hits can feel thin, and another said the compact head still needs a fairly good striker. The ZXi5's weak spot was the toe, while the T250's limits were thin strikes and its smaller head.

Looks at Address: Both Compact, T250 Sleeker

Reviewers praised the ZXi5 as a compact, player-style head that frames the ball well. One called it among the best-looking game-improvement irons and liked its understated black-and-white finish, though noted that it shows scuffs. The same reviewer disliked the players-distance label and felt the heads look bulky in the bag. One video noted a slightly thicker top line than the 2026 model, which some golfers may prefer. The 7-iron has 0.13 inches of offset. Reviewers rated the T250 highly for looks. They called it sleek and clean, with a thinner topline and sole than the T200 and a muted satin finish. One video gave it 10/10 and called it almost blade-like. The T250 drew stronger praise for looks, mainly for its slimmer lines.
