Srixon
ZX5 Mk III
The Srixon ZX5 Mk III is a players distance iron released in 2025, designed for mid-handicappers (typically 8–18 HCP) who want the look and feel of a players' iron with added distance from a hollow or partially hollow construction. These irons bridge the gap between workability and forgiveness. The 2025 model's 7-iron is lofted at 29.5°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

About the Srixon ZX5 Mk III
The Srixon ZX5 Mk III features a hollow or semi-hollow construction that allows for a thinner, faster face and lower CG while preserving a players' address profile. Technology from the game-improvement category meets the aesthetic of players' irons. At impact it delivers energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer.
Loft Analysis
The Srixon ZX5 Mk III's 7-iron is lofted at 29.5° — near-traditional — close to the classic 32–34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 152–162 yards. The 5-iron (23°) to 7-iron gap of 6.5° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids.

- ✓Mid handicappers (8–18 HCP) who want players'-iron aesthetics with added distance
- ✓Golfers currently in game-improvement irons who are ready to step up
