Vokey Design, themost played wedges on the PGA TOUR since 2004, will extend its SM10 family in 2025 with the addition of two new tour-proven offerings – the58.06K and 60.06K lob wedges. The .06K models offer the greenside versatility of a low bounce lob wedge with the added forgiveness of a wide K Grind sole, which excels out of the bunker. These features are particularly geared towards players with shallower deliveries, or those who play on firmer turf conditions, yet still benefit from the performance of a wider sole.
The .06K Grind lob wedge, which has been available as a WedgeWorks offering in prior years, was born out of the collaboration between Master CraftsmanBob Vokey and players competing at the highest level of professional golf. In the case of the .06K Grind, Vokey found that some players preferred the K Grind sole but needed a lower bounce version to hit higher, softer pitches off the firm, tight lies on tour.

Combining revolutionary technology with meticulous craftsmanship, SRIXON announces the launch of their all-new ZXi Woods featuring the company’s exclusive i-FLEX technology, bringing tour-inspired performance to every tee box and fairway.
At the heart of the new ZXi Woods lineup is Srixon’s exclusive i-FLEX technology. A completely redesigned face thickness pattern that optimizes energy transfer from the club face to the ball, resulting in maximum efficiency and enhanced ball speed.
With pure performance behind every strike, SRIXON is introducing their latest iteration in Iron design with their all-new ZXi Irons.
Made with groundbreaking i-FORGED technology, these Irons produce superior feel, along with improved distance, forgiveness, and control.
How Forged Should Feel
Srixon’s one-of-a-kind formula called i-FORGED or Impact Forged, is a new achievement in club design and manufacturing, developed to strengthen and enhance each ZXi Iron to create superior all-around performance.
The i-Forging process gave us the unique ability to select which steels would be best suited for each ZXi Iron, promoting a better hitting feel and overall performance. On the ZXi7 Players Iron, we used a softer steel in S15C. It’s the softest steel we’ve ever had in a forged Srixon Iron. Each new material upgrade serves a specific purpose to balance and strengthen each Iron and give players immediate feedback at contact.
Dustin Brekke, Director of Engineering at Srixon
To ensure the Irons maintain their strength and durability, Srixon used Condensed Forging in their ZXi7, ZXi5, and ZXiU Irons. This proprietary technique strengthens specially chosen sections of each Iron to increase their performance.
By doing so, the added support allowed engineers to utilize softer, better feeling material in the construction without compromising durability and maintaining a pure feel. Testing results showed ZXi7 single-piece body material is 7% softer, while ZXiU and ZXi5 face material is 14% softer than the prior generation of ZX Mk II Irons.
Meanwhile, to maximize softness, each ZXi Iron was carefully tempered inside of a long oven to optimize strength and temperature for Srixon’s softest treatment yet.
Consistency in Every Strike
For ball strikers who value Tour-preferred looks, pro-level feel, and precision workability, the all-new ZXi7 Irons are true players Irons that deliver unparalleled performance from top to bottom.
To help deliver a more stable strike, an expanded PureFrame is forged into the body and placed directly behind the sweet spot to reduce undesired vibrations. With these enhancements, ZXi7 Irons achieve a 9.3% reduction in vibration displacement compared to ZX7 Mk II Irons, translating to a remarkably stable feel at impact.
In the ZXi5, ZXi4, and ZXiU Irons, MainFrame technology is back for a third generation. A variable thickness network of grooves, channels, and notches, MainFrame is milled onto the backside of these Iron faces, helping to maximize flex at impact for more efficient energy transfer into the ball. The upgraded design features a wider toe-side channel, allowing engineers to reposition up to 2g of mass for a lower CG and more MOI, promoting better ball speed, consistency and forgiveness.
Like past generations, each ZXi Iron was designed with a holistic, family-oriented approach, so models can be blended seamlessly with similar shaping and nearly identical topline thickness to create similar looks at address.
Every year we’re seeing more people choose combination sets with our Irons. We typically have three specific duo’s that are most popular among players – the ZXiU and ZXi7 is the most used among our Tour staff, pairing forgiving long Irons with highly workable short Irons. The ZXi5 and ZXi7 are for people wanting powerful distance and workability. And we have the ZXi4 and ZXi5 combination that pairs cavity back short Irons with hollow long Irons for maximum forgiveness.
Dustin Brekke, Director of Engineering at Srixon
Additional Features & Benefits
Tour V.T. Sole: Tour V.T. Sole takes turf interaction to a whole new level of detail, with a proprietary combination of sole width, bounces, and notches that encourage cleaner strikes and optimal level of workability to each ZXi Iron model. And for the first time ever, Tour V.T. Sole will be featured on ZXiU Utility Irons for a new dimension of long-game versatility.
Progressive Grooves: The 3i-7i feature wider grooves, while the 8i-AW have deeper, closer-set grooves to ensure consistent spin across the set. Laser milling between each groove, on every loft, adds bite on every strike.

“The golf ball has to do everything,” saidFrederick Waddell, Titleist’s Director of Golf Ball Product Management. “It’s never just about maximizing one area – golfers need performance on every single shot. Each of our golf ball models is optimized for distance off the tee, and with 2025 Pro V1 and Pro V1x in particular, we’ve realized a speed gain while unlocking even better iron and wedge performance.

In the year 2025, the most powerful toolkit any course manager, golf pro or director of operations, can have is data and systems. Together they unlock opportunities, improve the player experience, maximize staff efficiency, and increase revenue. Leading the way in on-course operations technology is Tagmarshal.
Among the 600+ clubs currently using Tagmarshal’s system to collect and analyze data are two U.S. Open venues, Hazeltine National, a private club in Minnesota, and Erin Hills, a public facility in Wisconsin, which will host the U.S. Women’s Open this spring. Experts from both will detail how technology and data have enhanced their operations, sharing lessons learned at an insightful education session during the upcoming PGA Show on Thursday, January 23, at 9:45 a.m. in Room W230D of the Orange County Convention Center.
The education session—titled “Lessons From Major Championship Hosts Hazeltine and Erin Hills: How Optimization Tech and Data are Reshaping On-Course Operations and How Your Facility Can Benefit Too!”—will showcase Kyle Brandt, PGA, Head Golf Professional at Hazeltine National, and Professor Kris Schoonover, Director of Operations at Erin Hills. Their experiences with data, optimization technology, and Tagmarshal specifically, will be of interest to managers at clubs large and small, public or private:
Erin Hills increased greens revenue by $700,000 a season with Tagmarshal.
At Hazeltine National, Tagmarshal is used to effectively manage pace and flow of play, inform round discussions and member compliance, and assist in optimizing course set-up.
Said Brandt, “With Tagmarshal’s Track Map, it’s point-blank in front of them, making it so much easier to have those (pace) discussions.”
“We’re proud to share lessons from two of our valued partners, Hazeltine and Erin Hills, in what will be a standout education session at the 2025 PGA Show,” said Bodo Sieber, Tagmarshal CEO. “For operators looking to drive innovation, automation, and ultimately performance, this session will be invaluable.”

How to optimize pace and flow of play using data insights.
The value of automation and its huge impact on on-course efficiency, saving valuable time and costs.
How to harness artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to drive the economic engine of any course, resulting in substantial revenue gains.
