Spotted: First look at Srixon’s new ZXi RKT fairway woods and hybrids on Tour

Just a couple of weeks ago at the Travelers Championship, Srixon launched its new lineup of drivers on tour, with the ZXi RKT family taking full flight.

Plenty of changes came with the new drivers, including a new sole makeup along with the new-looking material labeled “Acousticore,” which could be a different design structure internally, stepping away from the Star Frame that Srixon has used in the past. At the Travelers, Srixon showed off four different models: A core head, LS, Max, and LS+.

Now at the ISCO Championship, hosted at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, we have a first look at the new RKT fairway and hybrid lineup.

GolfWRX’s Tour Photographer Greg Moore was out earlier in the Bluegrass State to get first-hand images of the new clubs, which are posted here.

From what we can see from this week’s haul of images and a quick search on the USGA Confirming List, there is currently only one core model available. The ZXi RKT fairways come in 15, 18, and 21 degrees of loft, while the hybrids are 2- through 6-hybrids, ranging from 17 to 28 degrees.

Both fairways and hybrids feature a matte-style crown and a similar sole design to the drivers. The beam that runs front-to-back on the older generation ZXi woods is gone and has been replaced with a more streamlined design, narrowing to the rear of the driver head. There is also just the one forward and central adjustable weight on both the fairways and hybrids.

The i-Flex face pattern on the previous ZXi face is now replaced with a new face design called “RKT Face,” which we’ll have to wait and see how the tech works behind that. While the face of the woods seems to be shallow, the crown of the actual head looks to be raised higher than before, especially in the heel section.

Each club features the adjustable hosel, which was new to the previous ZXi woods and hybrid lineup.

In the GolfWRX forums: A Titleist T150 fitting changes one skeptic’s mind

In our forums, a GolfWRX member who had been skeptical of fittings came away with a different view after a Titleist T150 iron fitting.

Member @Babydaddy said he is 54, plays to a 4.5 handicap and had been gaming Titleist T200 irons with Dynamic Gold S300 shafts. After a swing-change process, he went to Golf Plus in Panama City Beach and worked through an iron fitting on a Foresight GCQuad.

The result was a move into Titleist T150 irons with True Temper Dynamic Gold 115 Mid stiff shafts. He also tested a driver-shaft setup for his current TSR2 and left the fitting feeling that the process was worth it.

@Babydaddy said the T150s felt forgiving and that the DG 115 Mid shaft outperformed the KBS Tour Lite stiff option for him.
@Tygersman1 reinforced the value of shaft fitting, saying that getting fit for shafts made a meaningful difference in his own experience.
@phizzy30 made the point that the quality of the fitter matters, which is often the separator between a generic fitting and a useful one.

The broader WRX lesson is simple: a fitting does not have to be about chasing a miracle. Sometimes it just confirms the head, shaft and launch window that give a player better answers.

In the GolfWRX forums: Do golfers really need a glove?

In our forums, GolfWRX members are debating one of the game’s small-but-personal equipment habits: whether a golf glove is really necessary.

Member @tatertot said he has played golf for about 50 years and never fully understood the glove thing. He last tried one more than 25 years ago and asked why the left hand needs a glove when modern rubber grips already provide traction.

As expected, WRXers had plenty of opinions, and most came down to feel, sweat, friction and confidence.

@dmeeksDC made the quick Tour tie-in by pointing out that Lucas Glover also plays without a glove.
@Mikey_HACKilroy said sweat and grip security make a glove necessary for him.
@otto6457 pointed to the wear-and-tear side, saying enough range balls without a glove can be rough on the hands.
@Drivingrangehero helped frame the humidity side of the discussion, especially for players dealing with hot, sticky conditions.
@tatertot’s question hit because glove use is one of those habits golfers either never question or never fully adopt.
