Well,
My dozen srixon z-star yellows were waiting for me when I got home last week.
Eagerly played with them on Saturday morning in the medal, mainly to see if they were, as Srixon say, really easy to pick out compared to a conventional white ball. I'd read plenty of reviews saying that these were no different, in terms of playability, to the white Z-Star, which I currently use, so the only test was on visibility.
Let me start by confirming that they do play no differently to a conventional Z-Star. Same feel off the face of all the clubs and same distnace, trajectory etc... As stated in other reviews i've read, they do not show up scuff marks very well (good or bad?).
Now, visibility. This is no marketing gimmick...it really does show up better than a white ball, both from the fairway, and in the rough. Our course has a lot of yellow flowers around at the moment, which I thought was going to cause a problem, but as the ball is more of a greeny yellow then it wasn't an issue. The ball really does shine out like a beacon on all areas of the course.
All in all, definitely worth investing in if you are a fan of the Z-Star.
Oh, and BTW, yes, I did manage to keep the one ball for the whole round!!!!
