2023 Srixon Launches All New ZX MKII Iron Lineup

[Golfspy_CG2]

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Jan. 11, 2023 — SRIXON®, a global leader in tour-quality golf equipment and innovation, announces the launch of the new ZX Mk II Irons. Delivering best-in-class performance and incredible feel, play irons that are fast and pure with the all-new ZX Mk II Irons.

“The technologies driving the exceptional performance of the ZX Mk II Irons are really exciting to launch and get into golfer’s hands,” said Brian Schielke, General Manager of Srixon. “Longer distances, improved feel, more control, and greater consistency are seen throughout each new iron set, and they provide a seamless transition for building a combo set.”

Designed for the best ball-strikers in the world, ZX7 Mk II Irons are a true players iron with incredible feel. An all-new design characteristic exclusive to ZX7 Mk II Irons, PureFrame enhances feel by reducing unwanted vibrations. PureFrame is forged into the body of the iron – just behind the sweet spot – as an 80% thicker portion of 1020 carbon steel. The result is a remarkably soft yet solid feeling at impact that the best players demand. 

 

Meanwhile, the rest of the ZX Mk II Iron line features the second generation of Srixon’s MainFrame technology. MainFrame is a variable thickness pattern of grooves, channels, and cavities carefully milled into the backside of ZX4, ZX5, and ZX Mk II Utility Iron faces that maximize flex at impact. It not only boosts ball speed, but also repositions mass away from the face and into the toe for better forgiveness and consistency on every shot.  

A mainstay of Srixon Iron design, ZX Mk II Irons are designed with our Tour V.T. Sole and popular sole notches. The V-Shaped design of the Tour V.T. Sole maintains clubhead speed through impact for a clean, precise strike. Revered by the Srixon tour staff, the sole notches lessen drag by reducing the amount of surface area that contacts the ground to improve shot versatility without sacrificing forgiveness.  

“While we’ve improved these irons in so many ways over the first generation of ZX Irons, we’ve also kept the sleek looks, pure feel, and core DNA of Srixon Irons that golfers have come to expect,” Schielke said.  

To round out the new iron lineup, Srixon introduces the Z-Forged II, a muscle back blade iron with player-preferred shaping that offers exceptional feel and ultra-precise control. Designed in close collaboration with Srixon’s professional tour staff, Z-Forged II features a razor-sharp address profile, forged construction, and a highly workable sole design for skilled players who want the most from forged feel and stunning looks.

Key Technologies: 

PureFrame: Forged into ZX7 Mk II as an 80% thicker portion of 1020 carbon steel, PureFrame is strategically placed right where you strike the ball, delivering an enhanced impact feel for pro-level performance.

MainFrame: MainFrame is a variable thickness pattern of grooves, channels, and cavities carefully milled into the backside of the iron face that maximizes flex at impact. MainFrame is on ZX4 Mk II, ZX5 Mk II, and ZX Mk II Utility Irons.

Tour V.T. Sole: Tour V.T. Sole takes turf interaction to a whole new level of detail with a proprietary combination of sole widths, bounce angles, and notches that encourages a smooth glide through fairway, rough and sand to strike the ball solidly without losing speed.

Progressive Grooves: The 3i-7i feature wide grooves, ideal for longer shots in all conditions. The 8i-AW have deeper, closer set grooves that cut through grass and debris to enhance spin on approach shots. Laser milling between each groove, on every loft, enhances friction in all conditions.

Forged Multi-Piece Construction: ZX Mk II Utility’s forged SUP10 faces are strong yet light – increasing face-flex at impact for enhanced speed and distance – while a forged 1020 carbon steel body absorbs vibrations for a softer feel.

They’re so beautifully made. I’d be curious to hit the 5’s, just to try them, but $2k for 7 irons is out of my league.

I think you misread the price  it's  $1,200 (1,199) for 7 irons, which is really a good price compared to some new clubs this year.  For a nice looking forged iron especially.

Hah!!! I one HUNDRED percent misread it. Lol. I blame my 2 3/4 year old’s waking up at 5:45 on that…? Anyone believe that?

 That’s absolutely a huge difference, and makes them incredibly competitive.

The soles of the new Srixon Iron lineup look an awful lot like my Hogan irons. They seem to have employed the same bounce characteristics as the Hogans.

I have been getting the itch to try a cavity back and this is on the list for sure.

After looking at the above picture, and then watching the TXG video on the 7/5/4...am I crazy for thinking the ZX4 is the most interesting of the bunch?  From a 12-handicapper's point of view, anyway?  I kind of HATED the previous generation, but man...this thing looks tasty.  Is it P790 territory?  The article states they share the same topline as the 5, and they barely look longer heel to toe...I'm PRAYING these are available for my fitting next week (theoretically should be).  Once again, I'll need to be chanting to myself "I'm not here to buy...I'm not here to buy...".  Maybe a little ZX5/4 combo set for my birthday...lol I'm sure the wife would love that.

Well since you guys are a little curious... lets get some photos up of these! A shoutout to Srixon for just making a clean iron to look at and one that is underrated, but should appeal to many when they actually get them in their hands!

I got the ZX7 irons and the ZX utility, and both absolutely rip. First irons I've had since 2004 that aren't muscle backs, and they definitely are much longer and more forgiving. Can't wait to get them on the course to shape shots and see how the ball reacts on the green. Great pictures @GolfSpy_APH

Have to thank MGS HQ for giving us access to post these! All taken by them, I'm just the lucky one to post them.

Gorgeous clubs. I loved the original ZX7s during my fitting last year, the Hogan's beat them on price. Absolutely great clubs.

[BeansGuy]

I currently use the P770 but went into a fitting wanting to try all clubs. I have been using TaylorMade for 20 years now, but I wanted to see what was out there. I hit the 2022 version of the ZX7's and loved them! So, I ordered the 2023 version of them. I can't wait to get them and get on a course. They were so soft and forgiving for me. The perfect ball flight and felt great.

Anyone thinking of combo ZX7/5 at 7/6? Lofts seem pretty close. Curious why only 2 degrees between ZX5 4/5...seems tight gap.

They might be a bit close but the Srixon are notoriously bendable irons so they can easily be adjusted to fit the right windows. A good fitter can easily make those gaps work with a loft and lie machine.

I wonder why the 5's look differently than the other two? You would think that the 4's would be closer to the 5's but they look like the 7's!
