Outside of Japan, Yuji Masuda-san isn’t as famous as he is in Japan. But to the surprise of many in the global golf industry, Masda Golf is a bigger name than both Miura and KYOEI in Japan.

For over twenty years, Masda Golf has been known as the best “G” brand in Japan. For those of you who are not aware, “G” Brand refers to smaller makers from Japan. And Masda Golf is at the top of that mountain.

He has appeared on Japan’s most famous variety television programs and rubbed elbows with famous Japanese baseball players and athletes, many of whom use his equipment. He is also well known as Jumbo Ozaki’s artisan club crafter, creating many of the custom irons, wedges, and putters throughout Jumbo’s famous career.

Who is Yuji Masuda?

Yuji Masuda is the visionary founder and master craftsman behind Masda Golf, recognized as the greatest among Japan’s “small” golf equipment makers. Since establishing the company in 2004, Yuji Masuda has committed himself to preserving the art of traditional Japanese club crafting, which seamlessly blends performance, beauty, and a deeply rooted respect for heritage.

We are seeking three U.S.-based MyGolfSpy Forum members to test and provide feedback on the new Srixon ZXi irons. Each tester will have the opportunity to evaluate either a blended set or a straight set from the ZXi lineup, putting Srixon’s performance claims to the test in real-world conditions.​

The ZXi lineup features three distinct models—ZXi7, ZXi5, ZXi4—each with its own blend of materials, shaping and performance traits. Whether you’re looking for workability, forgiveness or speed, this series was designed to offer something for a wide range of players.

About the Srixon ZXi irons

The Srixon ZXi series introduces innovative technologies aimed at enhancing feel, distance and forgiveness:.

i-Forging Technology: This new forging process utilizes specific materials to improve feel and performance. The ZXi7 irons feature S15C steel, Srixon’s softest steel to date, while the ZXi5 and ZXi4 irons have faces that are 14 percent softer than previous models. ​
PureFrame expansion: In the ZXi7 irons, an expanded PureFrame design reduces vibrations by 9.3 percent according to Srixon, enhancing feedback and feel. ​
MainFrame Variable Face Thickness: Present in the ZXi5 and ZXi4 irons, this technology maximizes ball speed and forgiveness through a network of milled channels on the backside of the face. ​
Tour V.T. Sole Geometry: Ensures clean turf interaction for more controlled strikes, now included in the ZXiU utility irons for added versatility. ​

Will these advancements translate to better on-course performance and irons that outperform their competitors? 

Tester Responsibilities

Evaluate performance: Assess the irons across various aspects, including distance, forgiveness, feel and overall playability.​
Test in real-world conditions: Use the irons in diverse playing situations to determine their versatility and performance consistency.​
