Stock lofts compared

Each cell lists the heads sold at that stock loft, factory standard. Adjustable hosels extend every head beyond its stamped loft — each model page has the full settings chart.

What the differences mean

Both families are sold in 1 head — Std for the ZXi, Std for the ZXi RKT.

Stock loft coverage is identical: both run 13.5° to 21° across the same 4 stock lofts.

Adjustability is a wash: both use the same hosel system (QTS 1.5 sleeve, ±1.5° of loft, 12 settings), so a given head reaches the same effective loft window in either generation.

The ZXi RKT arrived 1 year after the ZXi as its replacement. Fairway wood generations usually carry over the loft ladder and move the technology — face design, adjustability, head options — so the older family is the value buy on the used market while the newer one holds retail price.

Which should you choose?

The ZXi RKT is the newer generation, so it carries the current face technology and full retail availability; the ZXi is the value buy used or on closeout. If the head and loft you want is only in one lineup, that decides it — otherwise the newer family is the default at equal prices, and the older one the smarter buy at a real discount.

Both families are charted in full on their own pages: Srixon ZXi fairway wood specs and Srixon ZXi RKT fairway wood specs.
