With the weather improving in most places hopefully those that were sent them will have more of a chance to try the Mizuno balls that were sent out. In three weeks time I will select the best review and that person will receive a year's supply (six dozen) of the balls. If you haven't already posted there is still time to get some feedback up there.

Yesterday I also send out a dozen of the new Srixon Z-Star balls to 12 forum members, which should arrive by the end of the week. I will create a sticky post in the review section for those 12 to post their thoughts on the new Z-Star.

Looking forward to the Z-Star, hopefully get them out for a hit at the weekend! Do they have a super aerodynamic modeto keep them down in the wind?

Well postie has been and I have a dozen Z-Stars courtesy of GM. Thank you very much. My first testing opportunity.

Packaging is very interesting. I guess the plain box is sort of pre release but invidual boxes for each ball too. Very cute.

Once again many thanks to GM.

Thanks GM. 12 zstar vx's arrived this morning. I had just came back from my first medal at my new club. Had a stinking last 6 holes and got 0.1 back. Clearly the balls fault.

Next sat and I'll use my new ones and hopefully get rid of it again. Cheers guys.

I got a very pleasant surprise when a dozen of these were presented to me by my postman.

Tried one out over 9 holes this afternoon and early impressions are good, it doesn't seem to deviate as much as my current ball. And I mean any shot from driver to putter - had about 4 one putts with the z-star today! :)

Fantastic - hadn't realised until this morning that Mrs Riverdale took in a parcel yesterday - 12 Srixon Z-star balls for testing. Nice one Paul and GM.

Ive got a northern Matchplay 1st round pairs match this afternoon. Going to take a risk and try the z-star out in place of my usual TP3.
