The new Srixon ZXiR irons represent a new addition to the Srixon ZXi iron lineup. The Srixon ZXiR irons bring game-improvement performance with the help of a new i-Alloy material for softer feel and a refined sweet spot to help retain performance on shots struck lower on the clubface. But how do the Srixon ZXiR Irons compare to the Srixon ZXi4 irons, which offer a similar profile in terms of shape and size.

If the sweet spot is lower then shots out of the middle of the face are above the cg and will lower the spin.
Not a good test. Game improvement irons testing at 92 mph??
The conclusions drawn here are laughable. Compare them tomorrow, and hit the ZXi4 first, and with five warmup shots the ZXiR will probably have a tighter dispersion. That said, drawing conclusions from ten shots is really reaching.
I have a blended set of 4’s and 5’s. 6,7,8 in 4’s but bent 2 degrees weak and then the 5’s standard in 9 and PW.j. This way i get enough height to hold greens
Why don't you get someone with the swing speeds these clubs were built for to do the comparison.
What does this mean for guys who hit an 8 iron 150 yards? I guess we'll never know. Anyways, both of these are inferior to the Cleveland Zipcore xl iron
What is meant by player development iron?
I ordered these zx ir I am scratch .
Feel like I want to just make this as easy as I can the older I get. Hope I can hit a 120 3/4 wedge, that will be the issue if there’s one
How about having players who need game improvement clubs take these tests. I volunteer myself.
I fail to understand why you use a scratch type golfer to test a game improvement club. No value in this.
Bullshit test,,,need older slower testers,, pointless
I love you guys at second swing and Harrison is the best reviewer you've ever had keep him on board
Big Srixon fan but I just don’t get why we needed this release? ZX4 is the game improvement model that suits mid- high handicaps.
So what is the point? They’re the same club
Test the full Srixon lineup at an average swing speed. Would be cool to see the whole lineup around 24° with SS in the 80s. Test 7, 5, 4, R, and U.
That swing is insane
