Srixon's new ZXi RKT woods cover the whole top end of the bag: three drivers, fairways, hybrids and a dedicated women's range. Everything is built around one new face and one big idea, which is to get ball speed up first and then let the player tune the rest.
Here is our first look at how the family fits together, based on Srixon's product specifications.
Built around the RKT Face
At the heart of every ZXi RKT head is the RKT Face. Srixon describes it as the combined result of its ball speed, flex and roll technologies, each one retuned to work with the others, with the goal of its fastest and most accurate face yet. It runs from the drivers all the way through to the hybrids, which is why the range reads as one system rather than a collection of separate models.
Two other themes carry across the family. ACOUSTICORE is a new chassis with internal rib structures that Srixon says were optimised using AI to deliver a crisp, controlled sound at impact. The tour-driven shaping is the result of prototyping and on-tour testing with Srixon's pro staff, so the heads suit the eyes of better players.
Three drivers, three different jobs
All three drivers share a 460cc head, a 45.75 inch length and a 59 degree lie. That means the choice comes down to spin, forgiveness and how much you want to adjust.
ZXi RKT LS Driver
The low spin option, built for aggressive players who want distance and a more piercing flight. A deeper RKT Face is paired with adjustable sole weights at the front and the rear, so you can dial in your preferred spin. Stock shaft is the Mitsubishi Kai'li Dark Waves White 60 (low launch, low spin), and at D4 it carries the heaviest swing weight of the three. Lofts are 8.0, 9.0 and 10.5 degrees, with left hand offered in the 9.0 and 10.5.
ZXi RKT Driver
The all-rounder, and the natural starting point for a lot of golfers. Srixon pitches it as fast, forgiving and good feel, with high ball speed and high MOI while keeping spin relatively low. Adjustable sole weights in the heel and toe let you steer your preferred trajectory. It comes with the Kai'li Dark Waves Blue 60 (mid launch, mid spin) in 9.0 and 10.5 degrees, both right and left hand.
ZXi RKT MAX Driver
The highest MOI driver Srixon has made. A single adjustable sole weight sits low in the rear, so you can choose your swing weight while keeping the stability benefits. It is also the lightest build of the three, with the Kai'li Dark Waves Red CB 50 (52 to 54.5 grams, mid-high launch) and club weights between 307 and 309 grams. It comes in 9.0 (RH), 10.5 (RH/LH) and 12.0 degree (RH) options, including an R2 flex for slower swing speeds.
Fairways and hybrids: one adjustable system
This is where the range gets interesting. Srixon says this is the first time an adjustable sole weight and an adjustable hosel sleeve have worked together as one system, giving you control over launch, swing weight and distance gapping across the fairways and hybrids.
ZXi RKT Fairways
Three heads: a 15 degree 3 wood, an 18 degree 5 wood and a 21 degree 7 wood. The 3 wood is the biggest at 181cc and uses a lightweight carbon crown to keep mass low and maximise COR. Stiffer flexes (X and S) get the Kai'li Dark Waves Blue 60, while R and R2 get the lighter Red CB 50. Left hand is available in the 3 and 5 wood, and the 7 wood is right hand only.
ZXi RKT Hybrids
A compact head shaped for control, with loft optimised to help you launch confidently from tight lies, deep rough and fairway bunkers. There are five options from a 17 degree 2 hybrid through to a 28 degree 6 hybrid, so there is plenty of room to close the gap between your fairways and irons. The stock shaft is the Mitsubishi MMT HY 80/60 in X, S, R and A flex. Left hand is offered in the 3 and 4 hybrid.
A women's range built for female swings
Srixon has designed the women's range with components made to suit female swings: shorter shafts, custom flex profiles and a softer, lighter grip. Every ladies model uses the Mitsubishi Bassara PL 40 shaft in R3 flex (high launch, high spin) and an undersize Golf Pride Fine Line grip.
The ZXi RKT MAX Ladies Driver is a 12.0 degree head at 44.75 inches with a D0.5 swing weight and a total club weight of 292 grams. It carries the same highest-MOI, low rear sole weight design as the men's MAX. The ladies fairways come in 5 wood (18 degrees) and 7 wood (21 degrees), and the ladies hybrids in 4, 5 and 6 (22, 25 and 28 degrees). All ladies models are right hand.
Plenty of shaft options
Stock shafts are only the start. Srixon also offers a long list of custom upcharge shafts for the woods, including Fujikura Ventus and Ventus TR, Mitsubishi Tensei AV and Diamana Blue, White and Red Board, Graphite Design Tour AD DI, FI and VF, HZRDUS Smoke Green RDX, Aldila Rogue Silver and Fujikura Speeder NX. Availability varies by weight and flex, so it is worth checking the options for your swing.
Which one should you look at?
Fast swing and you fight a high spin rate? Start with the LS driver.
Want a balance of speed, forgiveness and adjustability? The standard ZXi RKT driver is the place to begin.
Want maximum stability and an easier feel? The MAX driver, with its lighter build and higher launch, is built for you.
Building out the rest of the bag? The fairways and hybrids share the same face technology, and the adjustable sole weight and hosel sleeve give you a way to fine tune gapping between clubs.
The final word
On paper, ZXi RKT is a well organised range. Each driver has a clear job, the fairways and hybrids share the same ball speed platform, and the women's models are built as their own clubs rather than shortened versions of the men's. Specifications only tell part of the story though, and the best way to find the right head and shaft combination is to hit them.
