Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow Review

I played it the other day. It was a bit weird and I changed back to my Titelist after 4 holes, then changed back for the last 3 holes. I felt much more comfortable and pared in with the yellow ball. I think it just took a bit of getting used to. Planning on giving it another try next time.
 
Bump for the PM readers today.
 
Nice review JB. I guess seeing is believing with these balls in terms of the color being acceptable to some and maybe not for others. These almost look 'too good' to hit
 
I am going to give these a try as soon as i can pick up a sleeve of them. My local pro shop is selling last years Z star and i am thnking of picking up some of them also.
 
Going to give them another shot tomorrow. This time I'll play them the whole round.
 
If they weren't so expensive I'd put a dozen in my bag for the twilight rounds.
 
It has taken some getting used to with this ball...I think it's mental.

I keep switching back to white balls, and will be playing with a standard ProV1 or Penta in my upcoming tournies.

Going to continue testing.
 
I stopped at a golf shop today while out working and picked up a dozen of these bad boys. Signed up to be a preferred customer and they gave me $2.00 off. They also came with a really nice big Srixon golf towel. Now Junior Lancer wants me to pick up another dozen so she can get a golf towel, too.

I'm very excited to give these a whack. Hopefully tomorrow the weather is warmer and I'll compare them to the Penta.

Is the only difference between these and the normal Z Star's the color? I love the Z-star and if they play the same I wouldn't mind trying these.
 
JB, thanks! Don't know how I missed that.
 
Played the whole round with it today. Really a great ball. I did not miss my Titleist at all. It was also nice to know from a distance which ball was mine. I jokingly told my playing partners I found a bunch of these yellow balls next to the 10th hole(which happens to be next to the driving range which uses yellow balls).
 
Crap...I can't believe I didn't read that either.

I was thinking Z Star would = ProV1, Z Star X would = ProV1x...wrong.

No wonder I wasn't getting the spin around the greens I was looking for in the regular Z Star... :(

Anyone want to trade 3 sleeves of Z Star X's for my regular Z Star's?

That is exactly what it is. Z-Star = ProV1 and Z-StarX = ProV1X. I think the Z-Star X has a little more spin than the ProV1x though. It did for our testers.
 
JB.

From what I read in the article you quoted...

Z Star = explosive distance, high launch, low spin

Am I misinterpreting what I am reading?

Where do you see low spin? On Srixon.com they even compare it to the ProV1. I find them spinny as heck and so did our testers.

Edit: They are talking about low spin off the driver, not spin around the greens. Very different.
 
Okay...that's what I originally thought...off the driver.

Still doesn't seem to spin as much as the original ProV1...until the cover gets roughed up a bit.

I'll try some more and get back.

I am putting these into play today.
 
Re: Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow Review

I absolutely love this ball! Love the color, love the flight, love it around the greens. I just love it!
 
These balls spin really well off irons. The color is awesome. I hit them pretty high today, but I thought that was because I was trying to hit it high.

Thanks TC! You will have to try one.

JB: Do you see this ball has having more spin off the driver and irons than the Penta? I am getting a little more movement with this than with the Penta.
 
I love these balls but I keep losing them and that makes me :angry: Lost three again yesterday and all were on stupid hooks into the woods. Just dumb shots. But these balls play great all around. Just wish I could find more of them.
