Titleist T100 vs Srixon ZXi7 (2nd Gen)

How they differ

Both makers call these players irons, and their lofts sit within a degree of each other through the set. The real differences are how you buy them, how each head is built, and how much each maker tells you about offset.

Category. Titleist’s comparison table labels the T100 “Player’s,” and Titleist calls it “The Modern Tour Iron.” Srixon calls the ZXi7 “a player’s Iron with refined, tour-preferred looks, pro-level feel, and unmatched control.”

Loft. Titleist lists the T100 7-iron at 33° and Srixon lists the ZXi7 7-iron at 32°. Both 3-irons are 20° and both 9-irons are 41°. From the 4-iron to the 8-iron the ZXi7 is a degree stronger at each club, and at the pitching wedge it is a degree weaker: 46° against the T100’s 45°. Below that, Titleist lists a 49° W and Srixon lists a 51° AW and a 57° SW. How to gap your wedges covers what to carry after the set ends.

What you can buy. Titleist sells the T100 by the iron. Its comparison table lists a 3-iron through 9-iron, P and W, and the page’s iron selector lists 3–9, P and G. Srixon sells the ZXi7 as 4–PW or 5–PW sets and says the 3-iron and SW are “Offered Custom Only.” Srixon also lists those two clubs as right-hand only, with every other club in right- and left-hand. If you are weighing a 3-iron against a hybrid, see Hybrid or long iron?

Construction. Titleist describes the T100 as fully forged, with split high-density tungsten and a progressive dual-cavity construction. Srixon describes a single-piece body of softer S15C steel, with a high-density tungsten weight in the toe of each long and mid iron.

Offset. Both makers say “minimal offset.” Srixon puts numbers on it: 2.8 mm at the 7-iron, running from 3.7 mm at the 3-iron to 0.8 mm at the SW. Titleist lists no offset measurements for the T100.

Shaft. Srixon lists the True Temper Dynamic Gold Mid 115 as the ZXi7’s stock shaft.

Price. Neither maker shows a single set price. Titleist prices the T100 by the iron, and Srixon shows a range that depends on the configuration you build, so check the set makeup and shaft of each listing before comparing totals.

Who each one suits

• The T100, if you want to build your own set by the iron, starting or stopping wherever you like, or want Titleist’s dual-cavity construction. Titleist says “Unmatched precision meets unrivaled feel with T100 Irons.”
• The ZXi7, if a standard 4–PW or 5–PW set suits you, you want an AW and SW that match the set, or you want offset figures to set against your current irons. Srixon says its narrow soles, shorter blade lengths and minimal offset are “designed for precision workability.”
