Posted March 28, 200916 yr I received some demos today so started by taking pics of the new Srixon GIE irons and the XXIO forged. In the past, these two companies under Sri Sports targeted different levels of golfers with Srixon aimed at the athlete and lower handicapper and XXIO aimed at the average and higher handicapper. These two models fall somewhere in between and the GIE is the first line in a long time where Srixon promotes its primary strengths as ease of use and forgiveness. Meanwhile the XXIO forged targets all levels of players wanting a forgiving forged iron. The XXIO Forged is about the size of the aF-701 but with less offset and a thinner top line. Head wise it is bigger than the cast GIE. Both use undercut/pocket cavity style heads which increase MOI and forgiveness on off center hits. The XXIO undercut is a lot deeper while the GIE is more compact. I took some new style pics this time around along with a golf ball so that members can get a better sense of size. For face pics the iron with the white bottom scoreline is the GIE. XXIO Forged: Srixon GIE:
