Players Distance Driver
The ZX5 LS Mk II is Srixon's answer for the better player who wants distance without giving up control. LS stands for low spin, and that's the whole point of this head. Where the standard ZX5 chases forgiveness and a higher launch, the LS version pulls spin down so faster swingers stop ballooning their drives into the wind. It still wears the 460cc body, so you get a big footprint and real margin for error, but the spin numbers behave like a smaller, more demanding driver.
This sits in the players distance bucket for a reason. It isn't a max-game-improvement driver that flips up on a mishit, and it isn't a tiny tour head that punishes you for missing the center by a groove. Srixon split the difference. If you carry a mid-to-low handicap, swing somewhere north of 100 mph, and tend to spin the ball too much off the tee, this is built for your miss.
The Mk II update keeps Srixon's Rebound Frame construction, the alternating stiff and flexible zones behind the face that store and release energy at impact. Pair that with the adjustable hosel and movable weighting, and you get a driver you can actually dial in rather than one you just hope fits.
- You swing above 100 mph and your driver spin runs too high, costing you carry and dropping shots in the wind
- You're a mid-to-low handicap who wants a forgiving 460cc shape but a flatter, lower-spinning ball flight
- You like to tinker, and you'll actually use the adjustable hosel and movable weight to fit launch and shot shape
- You want distance with control rather than a max-forgiveness driver that launches high and spins up on you
Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between the ZX5 LS Mk II and the standard ZX5 Mk II?
- The LS is the low-spin version. It moves weight forward to drop spin and flatten ball flight, which suits faster swingers who hit it too high or spin it too much. The standard ZX5 launches higher and spins more, with a touch more forgiveness, so it fits players who need help getting the ball up and holding their lines.
- Is the ZX5 LS Mk II too much driver for a mid handicapper?
- Not necessarily. The 460cc head gives you plenty of forgiveness, so a mid handicapper with decent clubhead speed can play it. The catch is the low-spin design rewards a reasonable strike. If you swing under about 95 mph or struggle to get the ball airborne, the standard ZX5 or a higher-launching option will likely give you more total distance.
- How adjustable is the ZX5 LS Mk II?
- It has an adjustable hosel that changes loft and lie, plus movable weighting to bias the head toward a fade or draw. You can tune launch, face angle, and shot shape. Most players set it neutral and adjust loft from there, but the range is there if you need to fight a slice or a hook.
- Will the ZX5 LS Mk II actually lower my spin?
- Yes, that's its main job. The forward center of gravity reduces backspin compared to the standard ZX5 and most game-improvement drivers. If your current driver spins in the high 2000s or low 3000s and you have the speed to support it, the LS can pull that down toward a more efficient number and add carry. Get fit on a launch monitor to confirm it helps your numbers rather than costing you launch.
- Who should look at the ZX7 instead of the ZX5 LS Mk II?
- Better players who want a smaller, more workable head and don't mind a tighter sweet spot should consider the ZX7. It's built for shot-shaping and feel over forgiveness. The ZX5 LS gives you low spin in a more forgiving 460cc package, so it's the better pick if you want control without the full demands of a tour-style head.
