Srixon and XXIO IronsThe ZXi7, ZXi5, ZXiR and Z-FORGED II, and the XXIO 14, 14+ and Prime

Updated: Sep 13, 2026Contains affiliate links

On Sep 12, 2026, Srixon's irons were renewed. Annoyingly, the names didn't change. The new ZXi5 and ZXi7 have the same names as the 2024 versions, and even the same lofts, so when you compare used or previous models, release year is the only way to tell them apart.

Bottom line: how I'd choose

If you're hunting for a previous model, always check the release year. The new and old ZXi5 and ZXi7 have the same lofts and differ by about ¥20,000. If you just want to keep your distance steps, I think the 2024 version is enough.
The 7-iron is 28° on the XXIO 14 and Prime, 28.5° on the ZXiR and XXIO 14+, 31° on the ZXi5, 32° on the ZXi7 and 33° on the Z-FORGED II. If you can't choose between the ZXi5 and ZXi7, look at the differences in bounce angle, length and weight before loft.
For the ZXiR and XXIO 14+, which share 28.5°, the ZXiR for sharper looks and the XXIO 14+ for lightness and forgiveness.

The ZXi5 and ZXi7 have the same names as the previous models released in November 2024. The lofts are the same in every club, but the six-club steel set rose from ¥151,800 to ¥171,600 for the ZXi5, and from ¥145,200 to ¥171,600 for the ZXi7. When you compare used or previous models, always check the release year. There's also a detailed ZXi5 page.

The hollow ZXi4 from the 2024 lineup is gone, replaced by the ZXiR. The 7-iron is 28.5°, the same as the ZXi4.

The Srixon ZXiR and XXIO 14+ share a 28.5° 7-iron. The choice is the ZXiR for sharper looks and the XXIO 14+ for lightness and forgiveness. The 7-iron total weight is 366 g for the XXIO 14 (graphite R) and 383 g for the 14+ (graphite S).

The XXIO Prime comes as a 4-club set that includes only the 7-iron and below. The 5- and 6-irons are sold singly (¥39,600 for 1 club).

Dunlop clearly tends to change the insides and the price without changing the loft. The ZXi5, ZXi7 and XXIO 14 irons all have the same loft in every club as the previous model. If you don't want to change your distance steps, a used previous model gives you the same feel for club numbers.

FAQ

How do I tell the 2024 and 2026 ZXi5 apart?

The lofts are the same in every club, so loft won't tell you. Check the release year on the sales page. The 2026 version went on sale Sep 12, 2026, with a six-club steel set at ¥171,600 from the maker (¥151,800 for the 2024 version).
