Srixon ZXi Driver
Quiet, and a shape you can look at
Srixon sell fewer drivers than the big two and the players who own one tend to keep it. It is quieter at impact and the crown is the sort good players stop noticing, which is the compliment.
£449
9.5 and 10.5 degrees
Worth fitting before you buy it. The session fee comes off the price, and we will say so if it makes no difference.

Who it suits
Players who already find the fairway and want the shape and the sound to stop bothering them.
The one that does not shout
- Quiet at impact
- Two lofts
- Neutral shape
- 01Two lofts, both neutral. There is no draw bias hiding in this head.
- 02Sound is not a gimmick. If a driver annoys you at impact you will not swing it freely.
- 03Test it against the G440 Max back to back. They suit different players and both are here.
- 04Shaft first, head second. That order is the whole of driver fitting.
From behind the counter
Half of what people call feel in a driver is sound. Hit two with your eyes shut and you will hear it.
