GolfWRX Spotted: New Srixon ZX Series drivers

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are grateful to have the most intune-to-golf equipment forum on the internet. Once again thanks to member mrmikeac we have been informed of some new Srixon drivers that have recently hit the USGA conforming list: the Srixon ZX5, ZX7, and ZX7 T011.

We reached out to Srixon and the only official comment is, “Yes, it is a new driver that we have submitted to the USGA for testing, and more details for the clubs will be coming in the near future.”

Although we don’t have any official information on the technology in this driver, we can draw some conclusions based on the visual elements and markings acquired from the USGA information.

Srixon ZX5 driver

The ZX5 appears to be the most forgiving model of the hree based off of the single weight placement towards the back of the head. Generally, drivers in any OEM line designated “high MOI” only have one weight to save as much mass around the head as possible, and it’s almost always found towards the rear or slightly towards the heel. Also, Srixon uses the nomenclature to dictate the general target audience and “5” has traditionally been associated with more forgiving clubs compared to “7” and “9.”

Beyond the single weight and adjustable hosel, the only other thing we know for sure is the driver has what Srixon is calling “Rebound Frame” on the heel. We don’t know what this actually means, but if I was to speculate, it’s some type of structured shell inside of the head to brace the frame and help maintain ball speeds. The other telltale sign is that this driver comes in both 9.5 and 10.5 degrees of loft.

With the ZX7, two weight ports mean adjustability, and although it’s just a general observation, the ZX7 head also looks to be shorter front to back—potentially to lower spin. Like the ZX5, it is branded with “Rebound Frame,” and thanks to the shorter front-to-back length, the ZX7 will most likely have a deeper face. Lofts available based on USGA list are 9.5 and 10.5 degrees.

Srixon ZX7 T011 driver

The ZX7 T011 is the outlier here, but considering the available specs, we are going to assume this is the lowest spinning head of the three models, since based on the USGA information, it will only be available in a 9.5-degree head—something we have seen from other OEM’s with their models designed for faster players.

An interesting note in the ZX7 T011 is that it has dual hotmelt ports—one in both the heel and toe—not something you see very often on drivers. It could be that, since it is designed for faster swing speed players, this offers easier adjustability for heads that will be customized for tour players.

We won’t know for sure until we get more details on the newly spotted designs, but you can see what other GolfWRX members are saying about this in the forums: Spotted New Srixon driver on USGA List.

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.”
