Srixon has announced the launch of their new sixth generation Z-Star Series golf balls, the Srixon Z-Star and Srixon Z-Star XV.

The new Z-Star debuts the company’s new FastLayer Core. The core starts soft in the center and gradually becomes firmer around its edge, which aims to enhance ball speed for maximum distance performance, while still maintaining feel at impact.

Speaking on the new FastLayer Core, Srixon Vice President of Research and Development, Jeff Brunski stated

“The new Z-STAR Series golf balls are built on top of the heritage of one of the most successful, trusted Tour golf balls in the market. The exceptional ball speed and distance of both Z-STAR offerings are driven by the new FastLayer Core technology, producing both outstanding ball speed and launch conditions tuned for the high swing-speed, better player.”

The Z-Star Series also features a new Spin Skin technology with Slide-Ring Material (SeRM), which is a urethane compound that coats the cover of each ball. The combination of technologies has allowed Srixon to use greater levels of shearing force without breaking its molecular bonds and is designed to offer golfers a golf ball that digs deep into wedge and iron grooves, increasing friction and spin, and thus, providing more control and stopping power.

The new golf balls from Srixon are the first and only to feature the new Slide-Ring Material, and speaking on the latest technology, Brunski said

“Engineered for more spin and control, the Z-STAR Series features a Spin Skin coating enhanced with SeRM, an extremely flexible material. Never before has Srixon combined so many technologies in one golf ball, to produce more friction for more spin around the green.”

Srixon’s latest golf balls include a 338 Speed Dimple Pattern, which aims to improve overall aerodynamics for better flight performance, less drag and more lift, even in heavy wind conditions.

The Z-Star Series hit retail stores in North America on February 1. The balls are available in both Pure White and Tour Yellow and cost $39.99 per dozen.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
