Srixon Q-Star vs Srixon TriSpeed Tour

I have only (or at least can only remember) playing the Q-Star but am interested in thought of anybody who has played either of these golf balls and which they'd prefer playing and why.

Let the opinion fly !

Nope, got so far the 5 dozen from Golf Balls Direct............will get more in the future now that I know they price match & I found a good site to see if they'll match if so it'd be like stealing

Trispeed Tours were a much better ball. Three piece, ionomer cover, better feel, much better spin.

Bummer they don't make them anymore or I'd have considered them more seriously.

I'll second that. I tried a dozen Z stars a while back and they were half a club shorter than the B330/Pro V1s. Got 2 dozen Tri Sppeds for Christmas and they're just as long as the B330/ProV1 for me. Low spin off the driver too. I would also game them had they not been discontinued.

Trispeeds can still be found at DSG @ 2 for $35. Yellow or White.

I picked up some tri speed tour balls last fall to play when certain courses are full of leaves and lost balls just off the fairway are common. Frankly for me, they played like a distance ball. No real check around the greens but also a good 15 yards shorter than my usual Tour B330. It wasn't a ball I was at all happy with to be honest. Your results may vary.

That's why I didn't go with them & went with the Q

I do find the TriSpeed Tour to be short as well. It feels really good off the putter though.

I too have played many a dozen TriSpeed Tours. They're a great ball for the money. I firmly believe that Srixon hasn't actually ever stopped making this ball either.

It's not listed on their website so that to me suggests they still have stock they are sending out but won't list it for themselves to sell

Srixon AD 333 is also a good ball. There's a three-piece AD 333 Tour version.

The Tri-Speed Tour is a Dick's/Golf Galaxy exclusive.

Bummer they don't make them anymore or I'd have considered them more seriously.

Actually they are still made and are available in the Asian Market. They are known as the "Tri-Star. you can get them easily off Rakuten.

Here are some specs, http://golf.dunlop.co.jp/products/srixon/ball/tri_star.html, just use google translate .

Sorry just to add. The Srixon AD333 in Europe is the Q-Star equivalent and the AD333 Tour (3 piece) in Europe I believe is the Tri-Speed replacement.

AD333 2-piece was rebranded in North America as the Q-Star in 2012 (initially a different dimple design, but last couple of versions have been identical). The Trispeed Tour was technically dropped from Srixon's core line when the Q-Star was released (although still produced to be sold at Dick's/GG). As others have mentioned, the Tri-Star which is available in the Asian markets is the next generation TriSpeed Tour.

The AD333 Tour is exclusive to the European market. It is basically the next generation replacement for the Z-Star SL that was just flat discontinued in all other markets.

Non-urethane 2pc balls are:

AD333

Q Star

Trispeed

Non-urethane 3pc balls are:

Trispeed Tour

Urethane 3pc balls are:

AD333 Tour

Z Star

There are multiple balls in the non-urethane 2pc line up so stopping the Trispeed is understandable. Only having one ball in the non-urethane 3pc line up which has now been stopped leaves no other ball to take its place. What is Srixon's thinking?

Are other brands following the same idea?

They were thinking that the Trispeeds weren't selling at $30 per dozen and decided to rebrand one of the 2-piece balls at a higher price point instead. The decision seems to be going well for Srixon as many people continue to overpay for the QStar and no one seems to miss the 3-piece surlyn offerings.

Still made, still sold. Dick's has been selling them non-stop since they were discontinued in the US market.

I miss my ZStar SL

Tried the Q Star today. Drives were straight and long. Had trouble putting with them. Cover seemed hard, had trouble with distance control. Did much better with the Gamer Soft.

I tried the Q again last week, just overall it didn't feel well.

Moved to the Diablo Tour from Callaway (another DSG & Golf Galaxy exclusive) & was much more impressed...............for now that's likely what I'll play.

3 piece is the way to go.

Not to long ago I did pick up a sleeve of the project (a) so maybe I'll also try that but again if I got anymore it'd have to be used.............also interested in the Taylormade Preferred X .............especially after hitting the 5 piece Callaway SR2.

Always when I think I got it figured out what I want to play this happens.

Trispeed tours are 3 dozen for $35 online at DSG.

I didn't notice any real diference between the tri-speed and a Q star.. both very solid balls that didn't spin like crazy.

Has any played the newer model of either of these golf balls?

I received two dozen of the new (2016) trispeed tours for Christmas and was also wondering if anybody has any experience with this version?
