In depth

The Srixon Z-Star represents the brand's premium tour-level golf ball, engineered for accomplished players who demand exceptional performance across every facet of the game. Built around a high-speed dual-core construction, the ball features an inner core paired with an outer layer that work together to reduce spin off the driver while maintaining the responsiveness needed for precision approach shots. This construction philosophy allows golfers to achieve longer, more penetrating ball flight without sacrificing the soft feel and control that better players expect from a premium urethane cover ball.

The Z-Star's urethane cover is infused with Srixon's Spin Skin coating technology, a textured finish designed to grip the grooves of wedges and short irons more effectively, generating increased spin on shots around the green. This translates into improved stopping power on approach shots and greater ability to shape shots with backspin and sidespin when navigating tricky pin positions. The 338-speed dimple pattern on the ball's surface has been aerodynamically optimized to promote a stable, consistent trajectory through varying wind conditions, giving players confidence that their shots will hold their intended line from tee to green.

Golfers who choose the Srixon Z-Star typically prioritize feel and feedback, as the ball delivers a distinctly soft compression response at impact that many low-handicap players and tour professionals favor. The combination of tour-caliber distance, workability, and greenside control makes this ball a versatile choice for competitive players seeking one golf ball capable of performing well in every situation, from booming drives to delicate chip shots. Available in white and tour yellow finishes, the Z-Star continues Srixon's tradition of blending advanced material science with the practical demands of skilled golfers who refuse to compromise on any aspect of ball performance.

What golfers say

Best ball I've played in years

Switched from a premium competitor and haven't looked back. The greenside spin is incredible and I'm still getting great distance off the driver.

Sarah Chen2024-02-08
Great feel, pricey though

Love the soft feel and control on approach shots. Only knock is the price point compared to some alternatives, but performance justifies it.

Dave Ramirez2024-01-22
Consistent performer

Been gaming these for six months now. Durability is impressive and the flight is very predictable even in breezy conditions.

Tom Whitfield2023-12-10
Solid tour ball

Great all-around performance. Not the longest ball I've hit but the control and feel around the greens make up for it.
