What the brands claim Manufacturer claim

Srixon ZX7 Mk II
- A thicker section of soft carbon steel behind the sweet spot (PureFrame) is meant to improve feel. ↗
Srixon ZXi7 (2026)
- Players' forged iron whose AI-refined ridge behind the sweet spot (PureFrame iQ) is meant to add stability and feedback. ↗
- Aimed at skilled players who want to shape shots and control trajectory. ↗

Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
2 min read
Loft for loft, the ZXi7 is the same set you already own. The 7-iron is 32° in both, the pitching wedge 46° in both, and every club from the 4-iron to the PW matches exactly. Your distances carry straight over.
What you'd lose, on published line-ups, is at the ends. Your ZX7 Mk II lists a 20° 3-iron and a 51° AW; Srixon publishes neither for the ZXi7, whose line-up runs 4-iron to PW. If you carry that AW, plan for how you'd fill the gap above your wedges.
Srixon no longer publishes the ZX7 Mk II's construction, offset, length or stock shafts, so the ZXi7 details (forged, tungsten weighting, 2.8 mm of 7-iron offset, 37.25" 7-iron, Dynamic Gold Mid 115 shaft) have nothing to be measured against. Srixon says its PureFrame iQ ridge adds stability and feedback; that's the brand's claim, not a measurement.
Both stock sets are seven clubs. The ZX7 Mk II launched at $1,199.99 and the ZXi7 at $1,499.99, which is $300 more for identical lofts.
Our read: keep the ZX7 Mk II. If you're curious about the feel, hit the two 7-irons back to back, and keep your AW either way.

Should I replace my Srixon ZX7 Mk II with the Srixon ZXi7 (2026)?
Keep the Srixon ZX7 Mk II. Matched by loft, the Srixon ZXi7 (2026) doesn't give you a club, a hand or a shaft you can't already get.

Srixon ZX7 Mk II: 32°. Srixon ZXi7 (2026): 32°. By loft, the club closest to your 7-iron in the new set is the 7 (32°).
What about the pitching wedges?
Srixon ZX7 Mk II PW: 46°. Srixon ZXi7 (2026) PW: 46°. A stronger pitching wedge usually means you need another wedge to fill the gap below it.
