Srixon ZXi4 Irons First Impressions
The first things to notice about the clubs is the premium finish and the player friendly head.
You can see that the offset is minimal but you do get the thick top line and sole for more forgiveness.On hitting the irons, you notice the beautiful sound and feel from the I forged face, which has gone through an extra stage of forging to improve the strength.
The metal is also lighter by 14% and the weight savings are relocated further back in the head to improve launch angle and spin.
The irons are very focused on distance and as a result there is a lower flight with less which may lead to less stopping power on the greens.
For this reason it may be wise to use the long irons in the ZXi4 and move to a more player friendly model in the scoring irons to get that extra spin.
The Tour VT sole offers a sharp leading edge to cut through the easily and their is progressively more grooves as you get into the scoring irons.
When you it slightly off center, there is almost no deviation in distance and accuracy.
Overall very impressed with these irons.
