Srixon has released the ZXi RKT hybrid, bringing an adjustable sole weight and an adjustable hosel sleeve to a hybrid for the first time in the brand's lineup. The club spans lofts from 17° to 28°, covering the gap at the top of the bag where a long iron would otherwise sit.
What technology does the ZXi RKT hybrid use?
Srixon says the Adjustable Sole Weight and Adjustable Hosel Sleeve work together to let players fine-tune gapping and overall weighting, a first for a Srixon hybrid. The face uses a Rebound Frame built around two flex zones, which the company says is designed to produce a strong feel and a high, towering flight even on off-center strikes.
The same RKT Face technology found in Srixon's ZXi RKT drivers and fairway woods carries over to the hybrid, intended to transfer energy into ball speed from the tee, the fairway, the rough and bunkers alike. A Variable Roll Design on the face is built to assist shot shaping, while varying face thickness — Srixon's i-Flex construction — is meant to help the club move through turf at impact.
What loft options does it come in?
| Loft | Approximate iron equivalent |
|---|---|
| 17° | 2-iron |
| 28° | 6-iron |
That range targets golfers who struggle to hit traditional long irons, and the adjustable hosel and sole weight give fitters more room to dial in a specific gap without switching heads.
A hybrid built to replace long irons now comes with the same tuning options as a driver.
How does it compare with rival hybrids?
Early testing has found the ZXi RKT easy to launch, with a high ball flight that holds up even on strikes away from the center of the face. Some reviewers have noted it is harder to flight down than rivals such as TaylorMade's Qi4D, which has drawn praise for producing a lower trajectory when one is needed.
In looks, the ZXi RKT carries a matte-style crown and minimal offset, with a simple "S" marking on the crown for alignment — a contrast to the more reflective crown finish on the Callaway Quantum. Srixon has positioned the ZXi RKT's price in the same range as the Qi4D and Quantum, both of which it is being compared against in early coverage.
