  • You often catch it thin or heavy and want the most help an iron gives.
  • You want a higher flight: the 32.5° 7-iron is weaker than most.
  • You need a left-handed club or a senior flex: both are stock.

After the approach wedge (AW, 50°): with a 56° sand wedge, the gap is 6°.

Callaway's iron fitting guide puts your first wedge 4° to 6° above the highest-lofted wedge in your iron set. A gap in degrees is not a gap in yards. To choose that wedge, see the forgiving wedges by loft and bounce.

Use the iron finder to compare sets for your usual miss, and check the set makeup and loft gaps before ordering. Between a game improvement and a super game improvement head, this is how to tell which one your strike needs.

The Srixon ZXiR HL is sold in a senior (A) flex as well as regular (R): what the senior flex changes, and who it suits.

How the 4.0 adds up

The forgiveness score is our reading of what Srixon publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.

The parts of the forgiveness score
PartPointsWhy
Head class 4 Super game improvement: the biggest, most forgiving iron head a maker sells.
Offset +0 4.2 mm at the 7-iron, below our 4.5 mm mark.
Sole +0 Srixon describes the sole ("Tour V.T. Sole") but not as wide.
Forgiveness score4.0of 5

The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.
