Srixon Z-Star

[thecraw]

I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get a free sleave of the new Srixon ball. I put it to the test straight away and played 8 holes and I was dam impressed.

Feels softer than the Z-urs and certainly reacts on the greens. Putting wise I again thought that it offered a bit more feel than the Z-urs, which was my main grype about the Z-urs. Being a Srixon ball man I closed my eyes and putted with both balls and I could tell the difference. (My mate placed the ball for me so I didnt know which was which!)

No wonder VJ and Boo have switched, Pro V1 be afraid, be very afraid as I think that you have certainly met your match or even your better in my opinion.

Thats my ball of choice sorted for this season, just need to lose 6 brand new Z-urs's first. I recommend that you try it. (the new ball that is not losing 6 brand new balls!)

Srixon also have a Z-StarX in their range which is aimed at the Pro V1x or TM Black players.

Dont know whether this should be in the review section or not but since its a new product I decided to post it here in the lounge for discussion, if a mod wants to move it I wont take the huff and spit the dummy!

Its a ball I want to get my hands on and try asap. I usr the Z-URS among others and find it a good ball. If the Z-Star is even better then, as you say, the Prov-2 better watch out.

How did you get them Craw?

My friend is sponsored by Srixon. I just happened to be in the shop when the rep was in and I guess I got lucky thanks to Jim telling the rep I was probably his biggest Z-urs customer!

They are actually on sale now if you put it into Google. Worth tring in my opinion.

Cheers for this Craw I will definitely make a note to try them as I also like the Z-urs, what is the distance with them like off the tee?

 

[thecraw]

I certainly didnt notice any improvement in distance but I certainly noticed that the Z-Star reacted better on the short shots and felt softer off of the putter.

I played 8 holes on blustery links today onto fairly hard greens and the ball reacted well. No complaints at all from me and an improvement on an already good ball in my opinion. Alot of manufactures claim to have improved a ball and you dont notice it, well in my opinion Srixon have improved on the Z-urs.

I have just found the URC, literally! I found one at the London club and played with it, gotta say its the best ball I have ever used. Hopefully I will get some deals on a few boxes with the new model out?

Keep your eyes open forum!

Might try 3 of the new model on pay day.

HTL - treat yourself for Saturday. AG had a dozen on sale for £32.99. I think I might give them a go eventually but my TP black was great today in the breezy conditions.

Pro at Largs, Andy was doing the Z-urc at £20 a dozen!!!!!

Look online I'm sure you will be able to get a deal if not phone him and arrange a P+P price, should only be about £3 or £4 P+P.
