Heard Brooks hit the new one in person and it sounds great! 

I actually forgot brooks signed with them.

 

That's got to be a tough pill for srixon to swallow. Guy signs what I can only assume is a massive deal, shoots 30 over in majors the following year, and generally has been irrelevant since the signing and switched out of the driver and the ball specifically designed for him.

Brooks won within a couple events of putting the irons in play.  And the ball wasn't designed for him, it's been available in Japan for a while.

Interesting nugget from my meeting with my rep, the Drivers are back to Titanium crowns this year, but the driver sound is more muted than the previous generation.

That's been my only complaint (sound) about their driver.  Thought about having mine hot melted earlier this year, but never got around to it. Getting all the new releases after the first of the year anyway.

Tough crowd!

Srixon Drivers are up to speed with everything else out there, the thing I like most is the Traditional Shape, & sound. They perform as well as anything I've tested and I've tried about all of them. The ZX 5 is very forgiving, great ball flight and easy to hit. The ZX7 is slightly better performing for me but needs to be hit on the sweet spot to see any gain. Both are great looking heads that perform given you put a good swing on them. Instead of picking them apart I can find things I like about each one. Remember the USGA Speed limit, no conforming driver is going to produce magic because of the limitations put on them, once you reach the plataue it comes down to what suits your eye, currently no snake oil left with all the regulations.

Here are some pics of the 5 LS. I like it. The fairway looks really good to me too, if you can get along with that two-step crown (sorry no pics). The fairway and hybrids are matte also.

Tried the ZX-7 driver at a demo day here in Australia today. They had all the ventus range as upcharge options. Favourite combo was 9.5 head ith Ventus Red TR 6X.

Hey Scarfie,

 

I have a Ventus Red TR 6x that I'm looking to throw a tip on (currently playing TSi3) for the new Srixon ZX5 LS or 7. Being that you liked the combination with the 7 what is your swing speed roughly and typical launch and spin? I haven't hit this shaft yet but thought the ZX5 LS could be a really good combo.

hey cebbby, I swing about 108-110mph normally. I'm mid launch, mid spin. Can't tell you numbers unfortunately.

Anxious to see reviews of these!

I've thoroughly enjoyed mine from the very little I've gotten to hit of it so far! The LS sits wonderfully and is a great low-spin fade player driver

If some tour pros start using this model, and word gets out, it will spread like wildfire.  That's the thing holding the Srixon driver's back is validation from the tour players.  Not saying that should be the determining factor, as their driver's have been top notch for the last 2 models.  If it's really good, it will spread around here on WRX and other boards, but it needs to be seen/mentioned etc....

I’m shocked that sound was an issue to some on the last driver version. I thought the sound was perfect. We all have different senses and what we prefer though. That being said the new models look incredible
