Srixon has been making premium golf equipment for many years now, and it has been gaining more of a following in the driver category of late. The latest driver family, ZXi, will be looking to capitalize on that and sit among the best golf drivers of 2025. In this review, I am looking at the low-spin model of the range, the LS.

In terms of features and tech, Srixon has made a few notable changes to the design from the previous ZX Mk II range. An all-new ‘i-FLEX’ face has been redesigned with what Srixon refers ot as a ‘variable thickness pattern’ for the purpose of creating a more efficient energy transfer at strike and subsequently creating more ball speed as a result. Srixon says that the added strength of this face structure allows the center of the face to be engineered thinner than ever before to boost ball speed.

There are two interchangeable weights at the front and back of the ZXi LS to help you pinpoint your optimum spin number, while Srixon has also introduced some horizontal face milling in order to help the driver perform better in wet conditions.

When looking at the ‘in the bag’ angle, there are lots of welcome changes that make this the best-looking Srixon driver range I have ever seen. In the all-important playing position, Srixon has done a nice job of by adding and taking away in equal measure.

The crown has been given a textured makeover which is much improved as the previous smooth matte finish showed up every little smudge and drop of moisture, while the outlining graphics have been removed to give a much cleaner look. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone offended by the look of this head.
The performance is also strong. Having tested the ZXi LS on and off the course with my FullSwing KIT launch monitor, I was genuinely impressed with the improvements on offer. Firstly the sound is much improved. I found the previous ZX5 LS MK II driver very ‘clangy’ and loud at strike but while fully titanium drivers will always produce a touch more volume than carbon, the ZXi LS is more muted and feels excellent.

Ball speed was comparable with pretty much the rest of the 2025 low spin driver market, including the TaylorMade Qi35 LS and Cobra DS-ADAPT LS, and I was achieving a pretty comfortable and playable mid-to-low 2000…
