In the last two weeks, Srixon has officially presented its next generation of The ZXi equipment.
The second generation ZXi irons they announced on September 8. Two weeks later, Srixon followed up with the new one ZXi RKT drivers, fairway woods and hybrids. All are expected to hit stores on October 16.
If you want to know what has changed, we have already covered that.
There is another part of this launch that may be more interesting.
Releasing equipment to PGA Tour players before it reaches the public is nothing unusual. Manufacturers want feedback and players need time to decide if a new club is good enough to replace something they already trust.
Srixon could not have worked out this particular trial period much better. Before most golfers even knew what these clubs were, they had already won a major championship.
Ryan Fox has put three new Srixon clubs in the bag
Ryan Fox made some significant equipment changes just before the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
He put a new one ZXi RKT LS+ driver and ZXi RKT 3-wood in play He also had the new one ZXi5+ 3-iron in the bag
He then won the Open.
U 3-wood and ZXi5+ they are particularly relevant now because they are both part of Srixon’s new golf line that I am just learning about.
U ZXi RKT fairway wood it hadn’t even been officially announced when Fox came up with it in July. U ZXi5+ it was also unreleased at the time and represented a completely new model in Srixon’s iron line.
Srixon Tour players are not obligated to bring the latest equipment into play just because it exists. A new club will earn its place. Fox trusted three of them in a major.
The ZXi5+ may be the most interesting piece of iron history
Srixon already had ZXi5 and ZXi7. U ZXi5+ fills a new niche between a traditional player’s iron and a more distance-focused model.
Srixon describes it as a compact hollow body forged iron with stronger lofts than the ZXi5faster and more forgiving. It also gives fitters another option for building mixed sets.
Fox is a great example of how it could work.
At the Open, he used the ZXi5+ in iron 3, ZXi5 in irons 4 and 5 and ZXi7 from 6-iron through pitching wedge.
It is not necessarily the installation that most fans will copy, but it shows the purpose of the new model. Instead of asking one iron design to do it all, Srixon now has another option for golfers who want more speed and forgiveness at the top of the set without moving into a much larger iron.
The new driver already has another victory
Fox isn’t the only player who has had success with the new gear.
Shane Lowry put the ZXi RKT LS+ driver in the bag at the Amgen Irish Open this month and won by 11 shots.
According to DP World Tour statistics, Lowry gained almost half a stroke per round off the tee for the week. His final round began with a 349-yard drive on the first hole.
That gives the new driver two significant wins before its official retail release.
Srixon had a pretty good year beyond the new equipment
The new releases are part of a much bigger season for Srixon.
As of early September, Srixon staff players have combined for 31 wins in the world in 2026. That includes three PGA Tour wins, five LPGA Tour wins and Fox’s major championship. Srixon also had 13 staff players in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking or the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking at the end of the PGA Tour season.
JJ Spaun added another great result last weekend by winning the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth with the ZXi irons in the bag. He birdied four of his last five holes to win at 17 under.
