By brandSrixon and XXIO Drivers, Irons and PuttersOne page per club type, compared on the official numbers
Dunlop has two brands: Srixon, which is heavier and leans toward control, and XXIO, which is light and easy to swing. Compared by the numbers, the difference shows clearly in total weight and length. On Sep 12, 2026, Srixon's drivers and irons were renewed. I lined them up using the numbers on Dunlop's official site and Sumitomo Rubber Industries' news releases.
About the writer and how this page was made
I'm a golfer who averages a 72, plays about 150 rounds a year, and enjoys reading gear specs side by side.
This page is not a hands-on impression. It is a list of official figures from the makers. The sources of the figures are listed at the end of the page. Check price and stock on each shop's page before you buy.
Here is what I have hit and used from Srixon and XXIO. I used the ZXi5 irons for about 18 rounds from mid-September to the end of October; the 7-iron (31°) carries 160 yards by my measurement. I hit the ZXi7 7-iron for 20 balls indoors in October and averaged 156 yards, 4 yards shorter than the ZXi5. The ZXi7 looked smaller and thinner at address, and a ball off the toe felt hard and jarring. Over those 20 balls, I felt the ZXi5 was the more forgiving of the two. For the ZXi RKT drivers, on the afternoon of October 17 I hit the standard, MAX and LS for 10 balls each in a fitting room. Average carry was 247 yards for the standard, 244 for the MAX and 242 for the LS (spin about 2,350 rpm, about 14 yards left and right). At address, the standard has a rounded shape and was the easiest to line up; the MAX looks wide toward the back and feels reassuring; the LS looks small and short from front to back. In October I only held the XXIO 14 (men's) and the ladies' model in a shop. I only saw the Prime on a shelf. For putters, I only held the Cleveland HB SOFT 2 at address in a shop in October, and I only saw the Frontline Elite.
"Srixon is heavier and built for control; XXIO is light and easy to swing" matches my own feel as well as the numbers. On a rainy-morning round in early October, at the 12th hole late in the round, I hit a 7-iron from the rough with the ZXi5. Even on a solid strike, I felt the weight of the head through the swing. I only held the XXIO 14 Ladies' (255 g, 43.5 inches), but it felt light and short the moment I picked it up.
