Divide.
The Dictionary defines it three ways:
- To separate into two or more parts, areas, or groups
- To separate into portions and give out shares
- To cause to be separate, distinct, or apart from one another
Honestly, it is a word that is intertwined with the serious, and oft over-serious nature of the world we live in today. Thankfully though, Srixon Golf is taking the word and applying it to a much more entertaining thing…golf balls.

In a move that will undoubtedly provide a lot of discussion among golfers, Srixon is bringing back the two-tone golf ball. Say hello to the Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE.
Enter the Srixon Divide
Yes, let’s get right to it. Look at that cover.
While those who have been around the game for a few decades may be immediately taken back to the design of a company from yesteryear, many are surely left going, ‘woah’.

Not only is the Srixon Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE a two-tone golf ball, but it is also a two-tone matte finished golf ball with one half red and the other yellow. More than that, the company is quick to point out that this is not a painted-on finish, both colors are infused into the new thermoplastic urethane cover of the DIVIDE ensuring both durability and consistency.

Why two-tone? Well, to make spin visible for golfers, particularly in the short game. The nature of the dual colors means golfers will be able to witness the spin of their pitch and chip shots and get visual feedback from that in practice and on the course. Additionally, when it comes to putting, the dual colors offer an alignment aid one direction, and a check on the forward roll (or lack thereof) when set up in the other direction. What some may not realize is those classic golf balls that used this look are still in the practice bags of many golfers, and now they can get that same practice effect with a modern golf ball that can be taken to the course.
Internally, the DIVIDE is the same performance driven golf ball of the standard Q-STAR TOUR. It offers the same FastLayer Core and 338 dimple pattern that creates the wide range of playability that the non-DIVIDE version does. It remains a 3-piece urethane golf ball which has a 72-compression rating and is aimed at 75 MPH and up players offering a Mid-High launch and High greenside spin.

The DIVIDE will hit stores on 4/15/21 and carry a $32.99 price point.
What do you think about the Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE from Srixon? Is it something you plan on giving a try? Is it too far out of your wheelhouse? Jump into the discussion below and on the THP Community and let us know!
I play the red/yellow and my wife plays the orange/yellow, and frankly the red/orange colors are so close, I don’t see much of a difference. I also changed my Oakley lens to golf lens which have a tint that makes finding redish balls easier.
I like the orange/yellow the best. Red/yellow is very close. Not a fan of the blue/yellow combination.

Myself and staff are not allowed to comment on pre release information.
Now, if they would make a Q-Star Tour Divide that didn’t have the matte finish:unsure:?

and a Pink one!
I wonder why they make them matte? Is it cheaper?

No, not really.
They make Matte in the QST and Glossy in the Z-Star lineup. Choices to cover all bases.
The Q-Star Tour Yellow balls are glossy.
I wonder if a study has been done whether the Matte retains more dirt? I feel like Matte balls get dirty quicker.

I have read that, and my experiences seem to bare that out. Also, the glossy ones seem to be easier to clean.
I just picked up some more, they are so nice while practicing putting indoor during the winter
I purchased the Blue/Yellow because those are Swedish Flag colors (for Mrs. Reject), but if the blue side is up they are difficult to find….even if you know where they are roughly…

The Red ones are Terrible to find if they are face up in the rough.
The Orange are better but the only place I can ever find them is in small pro shops.
The Blue I don’t get. No one like Blue Balls! Just saying.
This ball just performs for me. I get good distance off the driver, good spin around the greens, it’s easy to line up putts, and it feels good when you hit it. I’m interested in when the new version is released. I would love a standard finish and not matte. Oh, and [USER=61009]@Deebo76[/USER] hates the divides. Boo this man!
Grabbed 2 dozen Yellow/Red divides at Loggerhead Golf because they were 30% off today.

I need to grab some more of the divides soon. I keep trying other golf balls but keep coming back to the QST. Just a great all-around ball.

My only negative is that matte finish. Other than that, great golf ball.

I don’t mind the matte really, but I’d love for them to make the QST Divide in the same white/yellow combo as the Z Star Divide. I really like the finish on those.

I’ve been playing the Q-Star Tour Divide exclusively since they were introduced. I have a 2-ball trail pack of the Wilson Triad golf balls. I’m interested in comparing these. Mostly the claim of how “straight” the Triads fly.

Only defective thing is me! But I would put a beatdown on Mr. 96:LOL:
Glad I’m not the only one playing these. They are so ugly, but I putt better with them for some reason. Easy to track in flight too. Ive only used the blue/yellow, might need to try the others.

These are so much fun to play… I like the Q-Star divide more that Z-star divide just for color options.
I have a single blue/yellow one that I use only on the Cradle short course. It’s fun to watch it as it flies. In the right lighting condition, it looks like a strobe ball.
In the wrong conditions, you struggle to see it when it lands on the green.
I do have two of the white/yellow that I will use when this one is worn out.
This is my ball, there are many like it, but this one is mine. It’s the best performing ball for my game. Distance and low spin off the driver and irons, good spin around the greens.
