The Ping G440 and Srixon ZXiR share a category, game improvement, and a set makeup, 5-iron to PW, so what separates them is construction, price and reputation. The G440 is cast with a hollow body and variable face thickness. The ZXiR is forged with a cavity back and is tagged for stronger lofts, though the spec sheets nearly match. The 7-irons differ by 0.5 degrees, 28.5° for the G440 against 29° for the ZXiR, worth roughly 1 yard of carry. The pitching wedges sit at 43.5° and 43°, so check your gapping with either set. The G440 lists at $1,149, $50 below the ZXiR at $1,199. The G440 also has two scores on file, Golf Digest 92/100 and MyGolfSpy 90/100, while the ZXiR has one, Golf Digest 78/100.
For most golfers shopping this category, the Ping G440 is the pick. It costs less and carries stronger marks from two outlets, and its hollow body build is the choice if forgiveness leads your list. Pick the Srixon ZXiR if feel matters most, since forged cavity back construction is its clearest point of difference and the extra $50 buys that. On distance alone, the loft gap is too small to decide anything.
