The new Srixon ZXi irons are here, and there’s a lot to unpack. On this episode of Club Junkie, I’m testing the new Srixon ZXi7, ZXi5 and ZXi5+ irons to see how the three models compare and who each one might be built for.We also have a really cool conversation with Rob and Grady from the USGA about what actually goes into testing golf equipment.
