![]() The Srixon ZX4 shares considerable DNA with the ZX5 irons: two-piece construction featuring Srixon’s Mainframe face design. So, into what category does the ZX4 fall? Let’s just say it’s a “super-forgiving hollow-bodied game improvement player’s distance iron with forged feel.” It’s a smaller look in the ZX4 that you’re just not going to see in Cleveland irons.” “It’s a better player-focused shorter blade length. “The biggest thing you’ll see between this and Cleveland is the size of these irons,” says Brekke. The ZX4 puts Srixon squarely in the game improvement category. Srixon bridged the gap from better player-ish GI irons (like the Z585, the 2018 Most Wanted GI iron) to cavity backs and blades. When Cleveland returned as a full-line OEM, it positioned itself firmly in the GI/SGI categories. “A few years back, we had the 355 series but I don’t think we fully got behind it.” “We’re creating more overlap into the game improvement category,” says Dustin Brekke, Srixon’s Director of Engineering. But, then again, the relatively short blade length and forged-like sound and feel make you think player’s distance again. The sole width screams “super game improvement” but the topline and offset suggest “ player’s distance.” The ZX4’s loft structure will surely get Torch and Pitchfork Nation riled and angry but it’s not out of line for game improvement irons. But the Srixon ZX4 irons are, depending on how you look at it, either category busters or misfit toys. Heck, even forged darling Mizuno has the HMB-20. Srixon has something here you’re definitely going to want to try. But the ZX4s? Totally under the radar until the samples showed up. We knew the ZX5 and ZX7 irons were in the pipeline as an on-schedule update to the two-year-old Z-85 irons. ![]() The new Srixon ZX4 irons surprised us a little.
