Srizon Z Star Golf Balls
Srixon Z-Star Golf Balls(1 Dozen)
Srixon’s new premium ball is the Z-Star, which the company compares to the Titleist Pro V1, Callaway HX Tour 56, and TaylorMade TP Red—so much so that they’re offering a Money back Guarantee.
The Z-Star is a three piece affair, with a “Energetic Gradient Growth Core”, an ionomer mid-layer, and what Srizon says is a “super soft” urethane cover. It also features a new “powershear” 324 dimple design that hides the seam. The end result, Srixon says is Tour level distance, spin, and feel.
If it matters to anyone, these are the balls being played by Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk.
While I’ve always found Srixon balls to be good, the company clearly is an also ran among the ball marketing machines. It’s good that they offer a money back guarantee, but the real way to attract customers would be to offer this premium ball for $10 less than the competition. Given the opportunity to purchase a $40 box of balls, everyone I know would purchase the Pro V1. I just don’t know how anyone competes with that—unless they offer the same (or better) performance at a lower price.

Your observations are right on. And while we are at it, how about Srixon getting a new name. “Srixon” does not exactly roll off the tongue.
The company must sell a lot of balls in Asia or Europe because I almost never find any while playing. Or could it be that they are so straight that no one ever loses them? Nah!

The amateur golf world is waiting for a $25 a box, genuine tour level ball. The company that gets over itself and offers that will clean up.
Somehow, they seem to think that no one will take a tour level ball seriously unless its priced at $40+ a box.

If you don’t mind last year’s model, I picked up a box of the Z-URS for $20 (originally $37) at the local shop. Same price for the Z-URC. I’m assuming they won’t be available for long, but maybe if you look around at your local golfing emporium…

I’ll look for those, Dan. Maybe I’ll find them at one of the local “golf shows.”
