At GolfWRX, we are grateful to have the most intune-to-golf equipment forum on the internet. Once again thanks to member mrmikeac we have been informed of some new Srixon drivers that have recently hit the USGA conforming list: the Srixon ZX5, ZX7, and ZX7 T011.

We reached out to Srixon and the only official comment is, “Yes, it is a new driver that we have submitted to the USGA for testing, and more details for the clubs will be coming in the near future.”

Although we don’t have any official information on the technology in this driver, we can draw some conclusions based on the visual elements and markings acquired from the USGA information.

Srixon ZX5 driver

Srixon Zx5 Driver

The ZX5 appears to be the most forgiving model of the hree based off of the single weight placement towards the back of the head. Generally, drivers in any OEM line designated “high MOI” only have one weight to save as much mass around the head as possible, and it’s almost always found towards the rear or slightly towards the heel. Also, Srixon uses the nomenclature to dictate the general target audience and “5” has traditionally been associated with more forgiving clubs compared to “7” and “9.”

Beyond the single weight and adjustable hosel, the only other thing we know for sure is the driver has what Srixon is calling “Rebound Frame” on the heel. We don’t know what this actually means, but if I was to speculate, it’s some type of structured shell inside of the head to brace the frame and help maintain ball speeds. The other telltale sign is that this driver comes in both 9.5 and 10.5 degrees of loft.

With the ZX7, two weight ports mean adjustability, and although it’s just a general observation, the ZX7 head also looks to be shorter front to back—potentially to lower spin. Like the ZX5, it is branded with “Rebound Frame,” and thanks to the shorter front-to-back length, the ZX7 will most likely have a deeper face. Lofts available based on USGA list are 9.5 and 10.5 degrees.

Srixon ZX7 T011 driver

Srixon ZX7 T011

The ZX7 T011 is the outlier here, but considering the available specs, we are going to assume this is the lowest spinning head of the three models, since based on the USGA information, it will only be available in a 9.5-degree head—something we have seen from other OEM’s with their models designed for faster players.

An interesting note in the ZX7 T011 is that it has dual hotmelt ports—one in both the heel and toe—not something you see very often on drivers. It could be that, since it is designed for faster swing speed players, this offers easier adjustability for heads that will be customized for tour players.

We won’t know for sure until we get more details on the newly spotted designs, but you can see what other GolfWRX members are saying about this in the forums: Spotted New Srixon driver on USGA List.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
