Loved it

“that is high... I just know that's going to stop on the green”

The high launch version, 3-4 degrees weaker through the set, and it delivers exactly the extra height and spin slower swingers need.

+ the facts · 6 pros · 4 cons
  • +Noticeably higher launch, 111 feet peak height
  • +More spin for a better land angle and stopping power
  • +Same head size and top edge as the R, just more loft
  • −Not aimed at faster swingers
  • −Slightly thicker sole
  • −5-iron to sand wedge only, no 4-iron

For: Senior and slower-swing golfers, or anyone who delivers too little loft at impact.

Data-driven independent testing

Liked it

“HL's are all the rage now. Everybody's helling it”

The high-launch variant of the ZXi R, with lofts that are still strong but not as strong, for players who need peak height and descent angle.

+ the facts · 2 pros · 1 cons
  • +Weaker lofts help achieve desirable peak heights and steeper descent angles
  • +Same ZXi technology base
  • −HL variants are now everywhere, so it's no longer differentiating

For: Golfers who need help achieving peak height and stopping the ball.
