On paper these two are close. The TaylorMade Qi Max HL and the Srixon ZXiR HL share the same $1049 MSRP, the same super game improvement category, wide soles, stronger lofts and high launch. The real split is construction and set makeup. The Qi Max HL is a hollow body with an AI designed face, and its stock set runs 5-iron to PW. The ZXiR HL is a forged cavity back, and its set data starts at the 6-iron. Lofts are nearly identical. The Qi Max HL 7-iron sits at 28.5° against 29° for the ZXiR HL, worth roughly 1 yard of carry at the same swing speed. The Qi Max HL suits a golfer who wants the 5-iron in the set and prefers hollow body construction. The ZXiR HL suits a golfer who wants forged feel in a forgiving cavity back.
Price is a wash, so pick on construction and set length. If you want the 5-iron and like the hollow body approach, buy the Qi Max HL. If feel matters more and you cover the 5-iron slot with a hybrid, the ZXiR HL is the better fit. Either way, check that the PW loft, 42.5° on the Qi Max HL and 43° on the ZXiR HL, gaps cleanly into your wedges before you order.
