NEW Srixon ZX MKII Drivers Review // ZX5, ZX7 & ZX5LS 

As a Srixon staffer, it’s awesome to see such a well respected channel and group of lads give high praise to this brand. They really stepped it up this year with the drivers and should be in the conversation now. Signing Brooks and him playing the TaylorMade driver really put the pressure on the engineers to create a truly great product

Just hearing the word bracket warms my ❤

Good review but eagerly awaiting the Mizuno ST230 driver review . Cheers

Srixon does not get enough love. These new MKII drivers are absolutely gorgeous. I am looking forward to giving these a test later this year.

Just put the ZX5 MKII LS in the bag this past weekend and it's amazingly accurate and packs a ton of forgiveness off-center. I only missed 2 fairways all day and those were just barely off the fairway, so not penalizing at all. Coming from a Stealth driver it definitely has a very different sound. I typically hit a draw with all of my clubs and my miss with the driver is to peel it too far left with very low spin. In the stock setting I've found the ZX5 LS to be subtly fade biased but the launch and spin were spot on. I was hitting easy controlled baby fades all day on the course with insane predictability. Time will tell but if I can take out the left side of the fairway then this driver is going to be a weapon. Initially I don't know if the dead center strikes are as long as the Stealth (it's winter golf so hard to judge) but I'll take a couple less yards for significant accuracy and control improvements every single day.

This is the one I've been waiting for a review on ever since the mygolfspy introduction.

I'm loving my Srixon ZX5 mkii irons and now looking at getting the ZX5 mkii LS driver. Slowly falling in love with the brand!

Would love to see a series on getting Mikey to 270+ carry.

Being a left handed it’s a shame we miss out on half the models in a line up

I will absolutely be trying Srixon in my driver fitting this year ! I think the product looks awesome!

Great! Would be nice to see you try both of Wilsons new drivers for 2023. The Carbon 8 degree would be very interesting :)

I literally just tried all the stuff today. I wouldn’t switch away from the drivers I own. Super impressed with their new irons through. If I were in the market, I would look at zx7. Surprised how sizable they are for a players iron. Also was shocked at how great zx4 felt. Was not expecting that

Keep up the strong work! I've learned so much watching this channel and your reviews/ fittings. I cant wait to go try these out!

Surprising to see Ian using the Black TR vs Blue TR or Red TR. I bet the winner would be Red TR with the ZX5 LS.

Great video. Alot of really good information and the best in depth review.

Looks like a solid group of offerings. The Wilson DynaPower drivers look like they stack up well too. Seem to look a lot like the Wilson Labs prototype that Gary Woodland was hitting not too long ago. May be worth a look. Cheers.

Like the way they test the clubs , lay back approach good job guys

Love the look of these. Definitely want try the 5

Nice job with the review. These clubs look great.

The Three Amigos! Looking forward to trying the ZX5 LS.

Ian I’d love to see the Red TR ventus in that LS head to try and get 16 ish launch that thing will be an animal

Just got fit today and ended up in the ZX5 LS paired with the LA Golf DJ shaft and WOW! I hit all the big brands and it was between this and the Cobra LS model, but the Srixon just kept my spin right where it needed to be. Topped my personal best in ball speed as well at 178. If you have excessive spin give this a try. Great video and keep up the awesome content.

I hit the srixon the other day and it is amazing no carbon bs and it 100% longer then others and sounds amazing a dark horse.

I'm intrigued. Might have to tinker with these...

Looking forward to our annual visit with Vosh and his always interesting Mizuno information. I think the STZ 230 might be this years sleeper.

Great video, but would like to have seen you lower the loft on the zx7 to get the launch down to see how it impacts spin and distance.

I ordered the ZX7 but i’m going to give the ZX5 LS a test. That head is very interesting.

The driver bracket would be very interesting this year 👀

Would be cool to see if someone with a downward AoA would really benefit from the LS head.

Should have had a 9.5 head in the LS. I'd love to see Ian do another video with that] loft.

Had my ZX7 launching at 16* with 1900 spins shaft was the DI-5 R1. Going to try the ZX5 10.5 LS with the Rogue MSI 130 Black 50 TS shaft. I feel the ZX5 LS head is faster than last years ZX7 head....I know Srixon says this years heads are 2-3 faster ball speed than last years club

I would love to see Ian and Mike hit all 3 drivers each (or tables only), just to see how they really vary per player.

Could you guys use Miyazaki shafts? I would like to see it compared next to the Ventus.

Excellent review. Question though, how does the weights positioning result in such a drastic change to the dynamic loft? There was only 0.5-1 degrees of loft difference in the club and I'm fairly sure the delivery from Ian wouldn't very by such a large percentage?

Surprised Ian didn’t try the Blue or Red TR mixed with this head. Especially after he say crazy low numbers with the TR black..

Club head speed times 2.7 should be total yards ?

Do these drivers run an adjustable sleeve? Mike could have just tried turning loft to 9.5 on that LS and probably would have given the extra height and carry he needed. Although with maybe too much draw bias?

You guys are the absolute best by far. How would you compare the standard ZX5 to the G430 for a moderate swing speed player? Do you think it measures up from a stability/ball speed standpoint on off center strikes? Keep up the great work!

man most of these club companies are probably really stretching for marketing material....."would you like 0.5 yds more carry???"

I noticed that nearly every swing had the toe of the driver higher than the heel. While lie angle doesn't matter very much for a driver, do you think that golf companies haven't remembered to change the lie angle of their drivers as shafts have gotten longer?

When does the embargo lift for Mizuno JPX 923 Forged/Tour and S23 Wedges?

Hi guys, could you please give me a definitive answer to how lofting down a driver actually works. My understanding is taking 1.5 degrees of loft off doesn't change the loft itself but instead opens the face. Its then left to the golfer to turn the clubface back square which in turn then de-lofts the driver 1.5 degrees. No one ever seems to tell you to do that but it's what i once read and it makes perfect sense to me? Many thanks

I had the last ZX7, just didnt get on with it enough, when i hit it well it went, just didnt feel like i could hit it well consistently enough, it really punished me in off centre hits and it was always fading towards a slice on them.

Brooks went back to his TM M5

Has Srixon changed their wrench to match other companies or is it still different?

How forgiving was the ZX5 LS? Hopefully not as forgiving as the old TM SLDR 😂

I think I have to accept that drivers for all companies have plateaued.

Super sad that the LS is not made for us left handed players! On paper that driver sounds like it was made for me :(

Is 1400 rpm at 149mph ball speed? Those are usually nose dive bomb drop out of sky like a dead bird shots.

That lattice pattern just makes me think Blair Witch

Just put the ZX7 MK2 in the bag this week. Atleast for me I felt the face was abit more responsive/softer if that makes sense? Acoustically the sound seemed better to me, though that could be due to me finding it easier to square up the face at impact with its shape. For those interested WITB below.

Good driver especially additional 100 dollars off if you trade your old driver in.

Srixon Drivers vs Mizuno Drivers. Who wins?

these are way better then the paradym

Unfortunately, the previous version was highly priced in Sweden...

they need to put the LS out for lefties ;)

Most of Srixon tour staff and non-contract players gamer the ZX5

Love your channel and been following for quite a while. But to test a $500 driver (the zx5) with an $800 shaft in it is kind of disingenuous to most folks interested in buying the driver with some variation of a stock shaft in it.

Whats next?!?! 3D printed Drivers. Cobra started to introduce the lattice to putters. All Drivers are CAD/CAM but none with a completely 3D printed light head. Maybe SRIXON will push it.

I’m stuck between the new Srixon and the new Wilson Dynapower driver.

I don’t care about the PGA winners playing what they play but I could EASILY bag everything from Driver down to the wedges from Srixon. Then again, I don’t care for marketing and it’s more about engineering for me. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn and always have been drawn towards Golf offerings from Japan.

Why switch the person hitting it and shaft set up.. now there is zero comparison to be drawn..

"Fastest ball speed" yeah and that swing was 3mph faster lol

The last two 7series have been really predictable/playable on the course. I imagine the Mk II would be the same once dialed in.

"Strizaaarhn" ?

There are already leaked pictures of a Zx7 LS coming

Im glad i watched this until the end to find out its not in LH. Fml golf sucks for us lefties.

I don’t know why you would not use same loft on 5 LS and 7. This was a poor comparison

3 driver lineup for Righties... Lefties miss out on the ZX5 LS.

I must be doing something wrong, 150mph ball speed and a 220 carry and up steps Mikey

Another series of drivers that do not hold a candle to last year’s TSR3. That’s my gamer. None of the models from this year’s offerings would drive me to change over. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
