Each testing cycle, some clubs become more silent. They don’t grab the headlines, they don’t dominate the marketing campaigns, but when you dig into the numbers, they’re right up there with the best. IN MyGolfSpy 2025 Fairway Wood Test, that sleep was Srixon ZXi fairway wood.
Despite having won an overall result of 8.8tying him for third place, ZXi flies under the radar. However, when you look at the performance, it checks almost every box.
Distance without compromise
of ZXi ball speed of 133.7 mph ranked among the fastest in the entire test, translating to an average carry of 209.6 yards and total distance of 223.1 yards. Only a handful of fairway woods went further, and many achieved that extra degree by forgoing sustainability. Srixon did not.
His distance score of 9.2 placed him in the top three overall.
Accuracy that keeps the ball in play
of ZXi also provided accuracy. With an accuracy score of 8.4 and an average offline spread of –1.98 yards, it ranked among the most consistent performers in the test. For golfers who use their fairway wood off the tee or as a long approach club on par-5s, this blend of distance control and direction matters.
Balance and value that is hard to ignore
What does it do? ZXi it is not a single metric; it’s how well it performs across the board. It ranks in the top three in distance, top five in overall scoring and near the top in accuracy and forgiveness. This kind of balance is exactly what most golfers need from a fairway wood.
At $329, it’s also one of the most affordable clubs in the first half of the test. While models from TaylorMade, PING and Callaway often top $350, Srixon ZXi quietly delivers comparable performance for less.
It is long, durable and easy to hit.
Final thoughts
Srixon had a really strong year for iron performance, but ZXi freeway who deserves to be part of the conversation as well. It’s fast, forgiving and accurate, rivaling the most talked about 2025 models.
