We’ve been talking a lot about Srixon gear this year, especially mixed iron kit builds. Shane Lowry has the perfect golf bag to dive into if you want to learn a little more about how it all works. With one mixed construction with Srixon ironCleveland’s newest wedge line and some strategic TaylorMade additions, Lowry relies on equipment that gives him predictable ball flight and the ability to fly the ball down when needed.
Here’s a complete look at Lowry’s setup and how each part performed in MyGolfSpy’s most demanding 2025 test.

Driver: Srixon ZXi LS (9°)
Axis: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 70 TX
Lowry opts for THE lower torque driver in Srixon’s lineup. It’s designed for players who generate enough speed to benefit from spin reduction without relying on built-in forgiveness.
How it performed in MGS testing
- Middle-of-the-pack ball speed among low-spin models
- Slightly below average forgiveness
- A consistent feel profile, especially for high speed players
- Best suited for golfers who already deliver the club cleanly
Lowry’s ball-striking patterns favor a driver that allows him to manage spin. of ZXi LS it offers that control without forcing him into a shape he doesn’t want.
Freeway wood: TaylorMade Qi35 (16.5°)
Axis: Graphite AD DI 8 Design Tour
Lowry’s choice of a 16.5-degree Qi35 is a smart mix of height, forgiveness and carry distance. This is not a traditional 3-wood. It’s a higher end option built for easy starting while still producing plenty of speed.
How it performed in MGS testing
- of the longest fairway woods in the 2025 test
- Delivered high ball speed and consistently strong carry numbers
- Forgiveness and accuracy were below average. This is where you need to be a good striker of the ball to maximize long range results.
of Qi35 gives Lowry solid distance potential. The added loft (16.5 degrees) helps it launch higher while still benefiting from the speed of the Qi35, making it a versatile option off the tee or fairway.
Useful iron: Srixon ZXi Service (3, 20°)
Axis: Fujikura Ventus Blue 9 xx
Lowry’s long iron the replacement falls right in the sweet spot between sensation and forgiveness.
How it performed in MGS testing
- Third place overall finish
- Strong combination of distance and accuracy
- Preferred by testers who want iron-like terrain interaction
Irons: Srixon ZXi5 (4–5) and ZXi7 (6–PW)
Axles: KBS Tour 130 X
Lowry’s mixed iron setup highlights a trend we’re seeing in elite players.
How did they perform in MGS testing?
ZXi5 (long irons)
- Above average consistency in distance and distribution
- Higher release than most irons in this category
- Levels of forgiveness that rank at the upper level of the test
ZXi7 (Scores)
- Strong precision/dispersion results
- Iron of the best player of 2025
- Distance wasn’t the key word, accuracy was
Wedge: Cleveland RTZ (52-MID, 56-MID, 60-ADAPT)
Axles: KBS Tour Wedge X Black
Cleveland’s RTZ The line focuses on spin stability, terrain interaction and predictable launch qualities, which Lowry relies heavily on around the greens.
How did they perform in MGS testing?
- The best wet-to-dry spin retention wedge tested
- Consistent spin levels in partial shots in all lofts
- Flight and launch features that made distance control easier for testers
Shooter: TaylorMade Spider Tour Mr
Grip: SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol Tour
Lowry continues to rely on the stability of the Spider platform.
of Spider Tour Z’s MIA and stability match his preference for a smooth, square face through impact.
Ball: Srixon Z-STAR XV
of Z-STAR XV remains one of Srixon’s most complete touring offerings.
How it performed in MGS testing
- One of the longest balls for high swing speed
- Reduction of iron takeoff and descent angles, matching test charts
- Excellent wedge rotation, especially in dry conditions
- Strong consistency in the wet wedge test
Final thoughts
Lowry’s bag is a reminder that tournament setups aren’t about chasing maximum distance. They are concerned with controlling the trajectory, eliminating large errors and tightening the distribution. Almost every club he plays performed well in MyGolfSpy 2025 testing, especially in the iron, wedge and ball categories.
