Z-STAR Tour

Srixon Z-Star / Z-Star SL / Z-Star XV
Price: $45/dozen

Golf Digest Hot List Rated:
Performance: 4.5 stars
Innovation: 4.5 stars
Feel: 4.5 stars
Demand: 2 stars

Tech Talk: The Z-Star line expands this year to include the lower compression SL, which is designed to produce a higher launch angle for average swing speeds. Each model features a large-core design that increases in firmness from center to exterior in a unique gradient. The urethane covers are among the thinnest in the game, including the firmer-compression XV (.012 inches)

Verdict: The standard Z-Star provides the most spin around the green of the three balls, but the SL offers an intriguing alternative that many of our players preferred.

——
More information:

The new Z-STAR golf ball’s proprietary urethane cover is super soft for added spin control without sacrificing distance. The 324 aerodynamic dimple design, combined with the large Energetic Gradient Growth(TM) core, produces a penetrating ball flight that is unyielding to the wind. The Z-STAR is available in both Pure White and Tour Yellow for added visual performance.

HOW IT COMPARES

The Z-STAR is a high performance multilayered ball with extremely soft feel. This offering is the softer of the two premium Z-STAR balls and provides slightly more spin and feel around the green. The Z-STAR performs best with driver swing speeds between 80mph and 105mph.

WHAT IS S.T.A.R. PERFORMANCE

SPIN- Tuned to increase distance on the driver while providing unparalleled stopping power on approach shots.

TRAJECTORY- Designed to produce an aggressive ball flight that maximizes distance regardless of weather conditions. High ball speed is maintained for a longer period of time during flight.

ACCELERATION-Developed to maximize the energy transfer to the ball for more ball speed resulting in greater distance.

RESPONSIVENESS-Configured to provide great touch and feel greenside. In addition, the ball is responsive on full shots that need to be shaped.

   I use a Srixon soft cover and low compression ball. I get good results with my swing and clubs. Can someone name one other ball being made in 2012 that fits my swing and equipment?

   You really should try the Bridgestone B330-RX
