Players Distance Driver

The Srixon ZX5 is the driver in the 2021 ZX line built for players who want speed and forgiveness without giving up feel. It sits next to the ZX7 as the friendlier of the two, with a full 460cc head instead of the compact tour shape, and a setup that launches higher and holds the face straighter through impact. If you want a driver that keeps your bad drives in play and still rewards a good one, this is the ZX to start with.

Forgiveness is the whole idea. The larger head and a rearward weight position push the center of gravity back and up off the face, which raises the moment of inertia and steadies the club on off-center hits. That means the toe and heel strikes you catch on a fast morning don't fall off a cliff, and the flight climbs a little easier for players who need help getting the ball up. Brooks Koepka won on tour with this head, which tells you the speed is real even with the extra stability.

This isn't a low-spin shot shaper's driver. It leans neutral to slightly draw-biased and it launches on the higher side, so a player who already spins it too much or fights a ball that balloons should look at the ZX7 instead. Play the ZX5 for what it is, a forgiving 460cc head that turns mishits into fairways, and it does that job as well as anything in its class.

• Mid handicappers who want a bigger forgiveness margin and don't need to shape the ball on command.
• Players with average to fast swing speeds who catch the toe and heel enough that stability matters more than lowest spin.
• Golfers who struggle to launch the driver and want a head that gets the ball up more easily.
• Anyone who fights a fade or slice and would take a neutral-to-draw bias that helps square the face.
• Players who want tour-proven speed from the Rebound Frame without committing to the smaller, more demanding ZX7.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 driver?

The ZX5 has a larger 460cc head with a rear weight position for higher launch, more forgiveness, and a slight draw lean, and its weight is fixed. The ZX7 is a compact 440cc tour head with two movable weights front and back for lower spin and shot shaping. Most players who want help fit the ZX5, while faster, more consistent swingers who work the ball lean toward the ZX7.

Is the Srixon ZX5 a forgiving driver?

Yes. The full 460cc head and the rearward center of gravity raise the moment of inertia, so off-center hits stay straighter and hold more ball speed than they would on a smaller tour head. It's the more forgiving of the two 2021 ZX drivers.

Is the Srixon ZX5 driver adjustable?

The Quick Tune hosel adjusts loft and lie, so you can fine-tune launch height and face angle to fit your flight. Unlike the ZX7, the ZX5 does not have movable weight ports. Its weight is fixed in the back to lock in the higher launch and stability.

Does the Srixon ZX5 have a draw bias?

It leans neutral to slightly draw-biased, which helps players who tend to leave the face open and lose shots to the right. If you already hook the ball, you can use the adjustable hosel to take some of that bias out.

Does the Srixon ZX5 have a carbon crown?

Yes. The carbon crown saves weight over the face, and Srixon puts that mass toward the back of the head to raise launch and boost forgiveness, which is the opposite of how the low-spin ZX7 uses its saved weight.
