What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 31° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show.
The sets are built differently: the ZX5 runs 3-iron to AW (9 clubs), the ZXi5 3-iron to SW (10 clubs).
Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Forged or multi-material heads that keep a compact look while adding face technology and stronger lofts for distance. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as forged multi-material. The ZXi5 adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
There are 4 years between these sets (2020 and 2024), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently.
Which should you choose?
The ZX5 and ZXi5 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Srixon ZX5 stronger lofted than the ZXi5?
No. Both have a 31° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.
What is the loft difference between the Srixon ZX5 and ZXi5?
There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 31° 7-iron.
Are the Srixon ZX5 and ZXi5 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the Srixon ZX5 and ZXi5 have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Srixon ZX5 is 62° lie and 37 inches, the ZXi5 62° and 37.25 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
