Srixon ZXi RKT MAX driver

What changed from Cleveland's HiBore XL Lite

Both are 460cc drivers rated Highest for forgiveness on their makers' charts, with a hosel that adjusts loft by up to 1.5°. The HiBore XL Lite is Cleveland's light build, 291 to 294 grams in all, with a slight draw bias from weight set toward the heel, the Aldila Ascent PL 40 shaft in senior, regular or stiff, and a chart that puts it at moderate swing speeds. The ZXi RKT MAX flies straight with only a slight draw on Srixon's chart and has a carbon crown, one 14-gram weight low at the back and a new titanium-alloy face that Srixon says checks hooks on strikes high on the toe; Srixon's chart puts it at low to mid swing speeds, and it is left-handed in 10.5° only.

On 22 Oct 2026 Golf Discount still had the HiBore XL Lite new for less than a third of the price of a new ZXi RKT MAX, and for no more than the cheapest right-handed used one at 2nd Swing, so buy it new while that lasts. Choose it for a light, slice-fighting head on a tight budget; choose the ZXi RKT MAX for a head its maker still sells, with Srixon's newer face.

What changed from Cleveland's HiBore XL

Both are 460cc drivers with a weight low at the back, 12 grams in the HiBore XL and 14 in the ZXi RKT MAX, and a hosel that adjusts loft by up to 1.5°. The HiBore XL has Cleveland's triangular head around an extra-large face and a neutral flight bias; Cleveland's chart rates its forgiveness High, a step below the HiBore XL Lite's Highest, and it is right-handed only, in regular or stiff. The ZXi RKT MAX, rated Highest on Srixon's chart with a straight to slight-draw flight, has a carbon crown and a new titanium-alloy face that Srixon says checks hooks on strikes high on the toe, comes in a senior flex too, and is left-handed in 10.5° only.

No shop we checked sells the HiBore XL new, and used it costs a fraction of a new ZXi RKT MAX. Choose it for the extra-large face on a small budget if you swing at average speed or faster; choose the ZXi RKT MAX for a new club, a senior flex or a left-handed head.
