Well...my match play tie last night saw the last of my dozen Srixons come out of their individually wrapped boxes.
There are still a few in the bag, but, having enjoyed using them so much, and encountering a period where I know where my golf ball is going, some look like they have been dog's toys rather than battered round Bellshill Golf Club's greenish fairways!
Over the course of using the Srixons, Ive come down 1.3 handicap wise (not all down to the ball, but a few lessons with Graeme Fox, Clydeway).
Last season I played the Taylormade TP5, which cut up really badly after one shot with the Vokey. The Z-Star is much more durable, yet doesnt lose the feel of a softer ball.
The distance off the driver is good, again without feeling like a brick.
They were nice from the mid irons, and spun well enough that I knew the ball wouldnt bound on through the green as they became a little firmer.
From around the greens, they felt slightly harder than a Penta, and I struggled a little at first as they didnt seem to spin so much.
They were a little more 'clicky' off the putter face, but after I got used to that noise, I could here a 'bad stroke'.
All in all, Id rate the Srixons at about a 8.5/10 ( with one mark off for the clickyness from the putter and a half off for the lesser spin rate from around the greens)
Cheers for the months worth of free golf balls Paul, Im now scouring the internet for some deals to order some more!
