GolfWRX Spotted: Srixon ZX7 and ZX5 irons, and ZX Utility

Published

on

Summer is “Testing SZN” (that’s short form for season, for the older generation) and with the PGA Tour back in action, it means the traveling tour vans are also on the road and slowly getting stocked with new products that will potentially be launching at retail in this fall.

The company most likely to send new clubs to their tour van looks to be Srixon, since we recently spotted some new designs on the USGA Conforming List: two irons, ZX7 and ZX5, along with a hollow utility named ZX.

It looks at though Srixon plans to stick to its number naming system, with the “7” model being the smaller players cavity and the “5” model being a midsized full cavity back with an undercut.

Right now, the ZX5 seems to be the more aggressive departure in terms of looks with what appears to be a deeper cavity than previously seen from that line.

The outlier here is the ZX Utility, which appears to be quite compact, and since we only have the one picture it would be interesting to know if these may transition into an iron set, which would make it the first hollow cavity iron from Srixon—although this has been done with sister brand Cleveland Golf.

With the continued popularity of the older 745 irons on tour, it will be exciting to see if the cosmetics from address of the ZX7 and ZX5 will take of the styling of those well-loved clubs.

    You could never mistake a Srixon iron for anything else..
    If it ain’t broke don’t fix it and the Z seres certainly ain’t broke, its just a few tweaks here and there to freshen it up
    The ZX5 does look all angles and busy, but regardless, it will perform perfectly like all Srixon irons do

    Mixing straight lines and curves takes away a possible ‘Clean’ look for the ZX7.

    That little diamond part on the back of the zx5 and zx7 look alot like the mp53’s…and that’s a great thing.

      I agree, these irons look nice. The back of the zx5 appears very similar to the Mizuno JPX 919 series.

    Not surprising, I guess Srixon still wants everyone to still play the z745!

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
