Srixon ZX Mk II Fairway Wood

Wood Options & Stock Shafts

Players Distance Fairway Wood

The Srixon ZX Mk II is a players distance iron for golfers who want more ball speed without giving up the look and feel of a forged blade. It sits in that tricky middle ground where a lot of irons overpromise. This one is honest about what it does. You get a clean topline, minimal offset, and a compact head at address, then a face that adds a few yards you wouldn't expect from something this small.

Srixon has always leaned toward feel, and the ZX Mk II keeps that identity. The forged body gives you that soft, solid sensation at impact that better players chase, while the variable-thickness face does the distance work behind the scenes. It's not a rocket launcher. If you want maximum forgiveness and a ballooning ball flight, look elsewhere. This iron rewards good contact and gives a little help when you miss slightly toward the toe or heel.

Where the ZX Mk II earns its keep is consistency. Solid strikes fly a predictable distance, the ball comes off with a mid-penetrating flight, and the turf interaction is clean enough that you can go after it from a tight lie or a fluffy one. This is a set for the player shooting in the low 80s or better who is tired of choosing between feel and yardage.

• Low to mid handicappers who make solid contact most of the time and want distance without moving into a chunky game improvement head.
• Players coming from a muscle back or blade who love the feel but could use a little more forgiveness and speed on mishits.
• Anyone who values a clean, compact look at address and a forged sensation over raw launch and offset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Srixon ZX Mk II forged?

Yes. It has a forged body that gives it the soft, solid feel players distance irons are known for. The MainFrame face pattern adds the ball speed, but the forging is what you feel at impact.

What handicap is the ZX Mk II good for?

It fits best for golfers in roughly the 0 to 12 handicap range. You need to make consistent center contact to get the most out of it. Higher handicappers who struggle with strike will find more help in a dedicated game improvement iron.

How does the ZX Mk II compare to the ZX7 Mk II?

The ZX7 Mk II is the true player's iron, a tighter head with less help on mishits and shorter distance. The ZX Mk II gives you a bit more forgiveness and ball speed while keeping a similar clean look, so it's the easier of the two to game for most players.

Does the ZX Mk II have a lot of offset?

No. It runs minimal offset that increases slightly in the long irons and tightens in the scoring clubs. If you dislike seeing a lot of offset at address, this iron will look right to you.

Will the ZX Mk II add distance over my old blades?

Usually yes. The MainFrame face and slightly stronger lofts add a few yards over a traditional muscle back, particularly on strikes that aren't dead center. You get the distance without a hot, unpredictable feel off the face.
