Srixon ZXi5 Irons

Confirm lofts, shaft and the clubs included in the set.

ZXi5 uses Srixon's i-FORGED construction. Compare shaft, lofts and set makeup during fitting; an iron number alone does not make distances comparable between brands.

Callaway Quantum Max Irons

Confirm lofts, shaft and the clubs included in the set.

Quantum Max is Callaway's 2026 iron model. Compare the listed shaft and set makeup; a hybrid/iron combo is a different purchase from an iron-only set.

How to choose an iron set

Compare lofts and actual carry distances rather than iron numbers alone. Check the clubs included: a price for five irons cannot be compared directly with a seven-club set or a hybrid/iron combination.

Try the shaft, length, lie and head together, including strikes away from the centre. Confirm fitting fees, adjustment options and return terms with the retailer; these are not uniform across shops.
