Srixon ZXiR irons
Game improvement, 3.0 of 5 for forgiveness
Srixon's game improvement cavity back, with 3.5 mm of offset at the 7-iron and a sole that mixes widths and bounce to get through the turf. More help than a players iron, less than Srixon's ZXiR HL (4.0 of 5): choose the ZXiR HL if you want a higher flight from a slower swing.

Build a whole bag around it, or check the lofts in the bag you carry.
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 is sold in a senior (A) flex as well as regular (R): what the senior flex changes, and who it suits.
ZXiR: the questions buyers ask
- Is the Srixon ZXiR forgiving?
- Moderately. It is Srixon's game improvement iron, with 3.5 mm of offset at the 7-iron and a 28.5° 7-iron. It scores 3.0 of 5 on our reading of what Srixon publishes about it; the most forgiving iron sets we cover score 5.0.

- ZXiR or a more forgiving Srixon head?
- More help than a players iron, less than Srixon's ZXiR HL (4.0 of 5): choose the ZXiR HL if you want a higher flight from a slower swing.

How the 3.0 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.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head class | 3 | Game improvement: a forgiving head, slimmer than super game improvement. |
| Offset | +0 | 3.5 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 score | 3.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.
