Srixon ZX Mk II drivers, fairway woods and hybrids: Everything you need to know

Srixon ZX Mk II Drivers

Srixon ZX MK II Drivers, Fairway Woods and Hybrids replace the ZX5 and ZX7 – offering higher ball speed, greater forgiveness, and an all-new extra model added to the range.

Although Srixon don’t compete with the likes of Callaway, TaylorMade and Ping in terms of market share, the Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 performed well against the best drivers from bigger brands and were used to great success on tour in the bags of Hideki Matsuyama, Shane Lowry, Brooks Koepka and Ryan Fox, among others.

For 2023, Srixon are replacing the ZX5 and ZX7 – as well as the matching fairway woods and hybrids – with the new ZX MK II range. We rate the Srixon ZX MK II among the best fairway woods.

“With ZX Mk II, we’ve built upon the foundation of success with the previous generation,” says Jeff Brunski, Srixon’s Vice President of Research and Development.

“Rebound Frame is a unique ball speed system that delivers a pure transfer of energy into the golf ball at impact. The result is an entire driver head that works in unison to deliver an unprecedented rebound effect that delivers maximum ball speed and ultimately, more distance.”

That “Rebound Frame” features two flex zones that work harmoniously to generate enhanced ball speeds and distance.

Zone 1 is the driver face itself, which deforms inwardly at impact. While Zone 2 is a ring of flexibility, offset from the face, which deforms outwardly.

These two zones quickly snap back to shape during impact, creating a powerful energy transfer that boosts ball speeds.

The new design also features a variable thickness face pattern that is 0.25mm thinner at its center and 0.4mm thicker at the perimeter than the previous generation. This creates a 10% larger high COR area (aka sweetspot) than the previous models and means ball speeds remain higher on off-center hits.

Srixon ZX Mk II: Key Technology

Rebound Frame: Rebound Frame’s Dual Flex Zones focus more energy into the golf ball at impact, creating a purer energy transfer that increases ball speed and distance on every strike.

Star Frame Crown: A complex series of ridges and latticework provides the structural integrity necessary to feature a remarkably thin titanium crown and to place discretionary mass where it best suits each ZX Mk II Driver’s ideal launch and spin characteristics.

Variable Thickness Face: An intricate variable thickness pattern expands the high COR area across the entire driver face. These unique ridges enhance high COR from heel to toe by improving how energy reflects into the ball on off-center shots.

Cannon Sole: A dynamic, floating weight pad on the fairway woods moves the weight right where you want it without reducing COR, optimizing launch while also allowing space for improved face flex and ball speed.

Deeper CG: The new shaping and design of the ZX Mk II Hybrids allowed Srixon to position more mass deeper in the clubhead, raising launch for higher, longer shots. And a new face radius – spanning from the leading edge to the crown – provides more consistent spin on shots struck high or low on the face, giving you more dependable distance from shot to shot.

What is the difference between the Srixon ZX5 Mk II and the Srixon ZX7 Mk II?

The Srixon ZX7 Mk II Driver is designed to deliver total control and workability off the tee.

Check out our full Srixon ZX7 Mk II Driver review for more information.

The Srixon ZX5 Mk II Driver is designed to offer total confidence, with a larger footprint, flattened shape, and a rear weight placed low and deep for drives that launch high and straight. Expect to see the Srixon ZX5 Mk II competing with the most forgiving golf drivers on the market.

A new addition to the Srixon driver family

As a new addition this generation, Srixon have added a third model, the ZX5 LS Mk II Driver. It features a forward-placed, adjustable 8g weight that keeps spin low for players seeking to maximize distance above all else. It’s US-only at launch, although it may make its way to Europe at a later date. The Srixon ZX5 LS Mk II will line up against the best low-spin drivers.

The entire line of ZX Mk II Woods offers premium shafts as standard with Project X HZRDUS Black Gen 4 and Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX shafts.
