Srixon launches new ZXiR and ZXiR HL irons

Published

on

Srixon has today introduced their all-new ZXiR and ZXiR HL irons.

With extensive testing done by Srixon’s R&D team, i-Alloy is 10% softer than 431 steel, delivering enhanced feedback, quieter vibration, and a softer feel than anything else in the game improvement iron space.

Maximizing i-Alloy’s capabilities, Srixon created new MainFrame milling patterns to redistribute mass across the clubface in a bid to amplify ball speeds and forgiveness. Using real impact data from thousands of shots from game improvement players, the sweet spot is strategically positioned lower on the face where most players make contact. Because of this, each face is tuned in design to deliver better ball speed, more efficient energy transfer, and tighter dispersion.

Design wise, ZXiR Irons feature longer blade lengths, wider soles, and more offset than the other ZXi models Srixon offers, all while maintaining their premium cavity-back shaping and clean topline profile.

The new lineup also introduces the ZXiR HL irons (High Launch), Srixon’s first-ever super game improvement model. Engineered with lofts tuned for higher launch and optimized specs, ZXiR HL irons are built for players with slower swing speeds, and are geared to produce higher launch, more spin, and softer landings.

Who They Are For

  • ZXiR Irons: Mid-to-high handicap players who want forgiveness, distance, and a soft feel in a sleek, performance-driven package.
  • ZXiR HL Irons: High-handicap or slower swing speed players who need maximum launch, stopping power, and forgiveness.
  • Women’s ZXiR HL Irons: Optimized performance and components designed specifically for female golfers, with the same cavity back benefits and forgiveness tech as ZXiR Irons.

Additional Features & Benefits

  • Tour V.T. Sole: Srixon’s proprietary V-shaped sole with carefully balanced bounce and relief, helps to prevent digging, ensure smooth turf interaction, and promote consistent strikes.
  • Progressive Grooves: Throughout the set, ZXiR grooves adjust in width and depth to match the shot. Wider grooves in the long irons for launch and speed, with tighter grooves in the scoring clubs for precision and spin.
  • Laser Face Milling: Etched between every groove, laser milling adds bite on every loft for control that stays sharp from any lie.

Availability & Pricing

The new ZXiR and ZXiR HL Irons are available for fittings and custom pre-order on December 4th, with stock offerings available on January 6, 2026, and are priced at $1,099.99 7PC Steel and $1,199.99 7PC Graphite.

    I got a chance to hit the non-HL model of these irons about a month ago when our rep came by, and they felt insanely good for a forgiving iron. They might sell pretty well if people get a chance to try them.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
