Srixon Z Star Golf Balls

Srixon's Z Star golf balls are engineered for high-handicappers who want more distance, spin and control from tee to green. They're a two-piece design with a FastLayer core and durable ionomer cover.

They're ideal for players who demand a premium performance in their golf balls, but don't want to spend a fortune. They're also great for lower-handicap players who have a faster swing speed and want to gain more control from their shots.

Distance

If you’re looking for a golf ball that will give you more distance than other balls on the market, you should consider the Srixon Z Star. It features a FastLayer core that gradually transitions from soft to firm, which gives you incredible feel and plenty of ball speed for maximum distance.

This ball also has a new, thicker thermoplastic urethane cover that will help maximize your iron and wedge spin. It’s also infused with Spin Skin+, which gives you more control over your approach shots and helps you generate higher levels of spin around the greens.

The Srixon Z Star is designed to be a Tour-level ball that will fit many different golfers’ needs. It has a very soft feel and is available in many different compression ratings, so you’re sure to find one that fits your game.

For this reason, it’s great for beginners and seniors who don’t have the swing speed to play high-compression balls. It’s also a good choice for high handicappers who want to improve their distance and control off the tee.

Its 338 Speed Dimple Pattern punches through the air for more penetrating launches, reducing drag and increasing lift to boost overall distance and produce straighter flight even in the toughest wind conditions. This means that you can attack the pin from any angle and still have a solid amount of control over the ball.

The 338 Speed Dimple Pattern is a common feature on Srixon’s entire line of golf balls, and it’s what makes these models so popular with tour players. These dimples are sized slightly deeper than the standard dimple patterns on other Srixon golf balls, and they’re able to generate more lift off the tee and more glide off the ground when you hit it from long distances.

Its core is also a bit thinner than other balls in the line-up, so it doesn’t lose as much speed when you hit it from longer distances. That combined with the thicker urethane cover, which can maximize your iron and wedge spin, gives you more power and distance off the tee than other balls in the line-up.

Spin

The Srixon Z Star golf balls are designed to deliver Tour-level control and spin around the greens. The balls also provide more distance off the tee.

Whether you’re a beginner or a high handicapper, the right ball is crucial for your game. There are several factors to consider when choosing a golf ball, including the core construction, cover thickness and dimple pattern.

Each golf ball has a core that’s manipulated to become progressively firmer from the center out. This allows the middle to remain soft and mitigate driver spin while the outside of the core gets firmer and promotes ball speed.

However, there’s one downside to this process. The firmness gradient can cause a player to miss more shots than they would otherwise if the core was softer in the center.

That’s why Srixon took the extra step to add a layer of micron-thick urethane with a cross-linked molecular structure called Slide-Ring Material (SeRM) that increases friction on short game chips and pitches, increasing spin.

This extra layer of material is only a few millimeters thick and helps create more spin on short game chips and pitches without sacrificing distance.

The urethane Spin Skin coating is also reengineered to offer more bite at impact, thanks to a sturdier surface that’s more malleable than standard covers.

When paired with the FastLayer DG Core, the Z-Star produces maximum driver and iron spin for more distance off the tee. The ball also starts softer in the center and gradually becomes firmer around the perimeter for unparalleled feel.

Lastly, all Srixon Z Star models use 338 Speed Dimples that punch through the air to deliver a penetrating launch with less drag. The Speed Dimples also maximize glide distance during descent and maintain distance in windy conditions.

While it’s not the best golf ball on the market, the Z-Star has earned a reputation for being the best choice for mid to low swing speeds. It’s also known for its premium durability and long-lasting performance.

Control

If you're looking for tour-caliber control and a high level of spin, Srixon Z Star golf balls are the answer. These golf balls have gained a reputation among some of the top professionals on the PGA tour, including Russell Knox, Shane Lowry and Keegan Bradley.

These golf balls feature a new FastLayer core that's soft in the center and gradually firmer around the perimeter for improved ball speed, distance and spin. This is different to traditional firmer/softer cores that often feel harsh at impact and tend to be slower.

Srixon also uses a new Urethane Spin Skin with Slide-Ring Material (SeRM) that is designed to take unprecedented levels of shearing force without breaking its molecular bonds, allowing the ball to dig deep into your iron grooves for increased friction and maximized spin. It also includes a 338 Speed Dimple pattern that increases lift later in flight to increase carry distance, while maintaining a straighter flight in the rough and wind.

The 338 Speed Dimple design is also designed to reduce drag, so these balls are more stable in the rough and in winds of up to 25 miles per hour. It's a great option for players who want to improve their game and make their putts more accurate, even when it rains or when they have a difficult green.

One of the biggest advantages of these balls is their feel, which is very soft and gives you just a hint of feedback. This is something you can't find in many other premium balls, which means it's a great option for higher swing speeds and players who are looking to have more control of their shots.

Moreover, the 2021 Z-Star is slightly thicker than its predecessor, which is beneficial for greenside spin performance. The Z-Star also uses a FastLayer DG core that is soft in the middle and becomes firmer toward the outer edges for increased distance, mid-iron spin and more consistent ball speed.

Lastly, both the standard and XV versions of these balls have been split into two divided halves for easier visual alignment on the greens. The white half is intended for the driver and the yellow half for the fairway woods, which will help you line up your tee shots more precisely.

Durability

Srixon Z Star golf balls are a great option for amateur players who want a balance between distance and control. They feature a 3-piece construction with a soft inner core and firm outer core to promote optimal distance off the driver while still delivering a low spin. The balls also feature a soft urethane cover that helps to reduce friction and increase lift for longer, straighter shots.

While these are the entry-level models in the Srixon line, they are not the only options. The company also makes different versions for varying skill levels and swing speeds, so it is important to know what type of ball you need to play your best golf.

The softest of the Z-Star family, the SL is geared for players with driver swing speeds below 100 mph. It is available in yellow and features an 80 compression rating to improve performance for lower-handicap players who do not want to spend a lot of money on balls.

This model features a new 'FastLayer DG Core' that starts soft in the middle and becomes firmer around its edge for greater distance while giving high-speed players exceptional feel off the tee. It also uses 'Spin Skin technology with Slide-Ring Material (SeRM)', which is a urethane coating that coats each cover to maximize the ball's spinning ability and reduce friction, which helps it fly through the wind.

It also features a durable ionomer cover and a 338 Speed Dimple pattern to minimize drag and increase lift, helping the ball to travel farther. The XV version is the most expensive in the Z-Star family but also has an increased spin rate to provide extra distance and control for higher-handicap golfers.

While this is an excellent entry-level ball, it does not have the same durability as a premium model. The company’s refinishing process can wear away the coating, which can lead to decreased performance when playing golf.

The new Z-Star XV is a four-piece ball that features a 'FastLayer XV Core' that starts soft in the middle and gradually becomes firmer around its edges for enhanced ball speed. It also features a new 'Spin Skin+' coating that is designed to add more spin than previous models, and it also includes the same 'SeRM' coating as the XV.
