Srixon Z Star

[treeflip7]

Has anyone else noticed the seam appearing on the 2019 ball (yellow) after hitting it? I never notice a seam out the box but then after a few holes I’ll notice a glaring seem on the ball. Is this a durability issue? I’m wondering if it’s the yellow covering wearing showing a seam underneath or the new SeRM cover?

[aiyyer]

Absolutely this ball looks visually less durable after a couple of holes but doesn’t affect performance.

I don’t take big divots and am not a shredder and like the ball and price but still distracting to see the nicks

[jdvela55]

Still loving this ball. So much I bought 5dz!

Dicks has these for $25 now with free ship and $20 off orders over $100. All automatically applied in cart. $104 for five dozen shipped to your door. Today only.

[gmyers22]

Just ordered 5 Dozen. Just the regular not the XV. Great deal $113 shipped with tax!

[birdiestobogeys]

Haven’t tried regular z stars only XV figured for $25 why not

[herbert7890]

this is a great deal on the Prior Gen version. I got one of each, also got the current gen XV, i dont expect them to be too different.

[birdiestobogeys]

Whoops didn’t realize the dicks deal was for prior gen. Is there much of a difference?

[gmyers22]

it does not say prior generation and the box looks like 19 version

Prior generation you will see the "spinskin" logo in the lower middle.


 

New version has the spinskin writing in the lower right corner, with the added SERM branding as well. All the special in the diff sites are for the prior gen.

Unless you order 6pks from golf discount for $9.99 each which comes out to 19.98/dz for the latest 6th generation balls.

Yes. Played a round with the Z-Star side by side with a ProV1, and while the performance was pretty similar, the Z Star cover was noticeably less durable and the seam was very visible after only a couple holes. Even if it’s only superficial, it’s enough that it stands out to me and would mess with my head. Too bad, because while it’s far cheaper than the ProV and the performance was great, I feel like I’d end up going through more swapping them out once the cover got beat up.

I’m giving these a try again and they have a nice feel.

I saw golfdiscount.com has 6-packs for $9.99. Do any sites still offer the buy one, get one free for dozens?

Going to try the XV as well. The price is too good.

[GarretG]

Z stars have the best durability imo for any tour ball. Plus the "pure white" is wonderful to look at from address. I started using them during my college golf years and still use them today!

[Jlender21]

Z star or pro v1? I have been playing Bridgestone RX, love the feel but pro v1 has been at least 15 yards longer off tee and an extra club in irons. Was wondering how z star stacks up against pro v1? Thanks

Anywhere to still get the 9.99 trial packs online?

The current gen performance packs go in and out of stock on golf discount. That’s the only place I’ve reliably found them at that price. I should have stocked up when they came back in stock a few weeks ago.

UPDATE:

 

I tried both and I am torn between the 2.

 

It seems the XV may be a little farther off the tee than the Z-Star. The conditions here in Jersey have been a little cold and wet.

 

Around the greens, I think the Z-Star seems to be a little better overall and spins better.

 

Putting, the Z-Star seems to be a little softer.

 

I am thinking of taking advantage of golfdiscount.com special and buy 6 6-packs of Z-Star and 6 6packs of the Z-Star XV.

 

I have been a Bridgestone fan years and have always loved the ProV1, but for the $$$, these balls perform and I personally like to play a ball that not everyone else uses, being the rebel that I am, lol!

I hear ya and I do like Bridgestone. I played the B-300s until they stopped making them. I tried the BX and man are they long. I just found them to be too firm for me.

 

I just think the value for the Srixon's is too good.

[jjfcpa]

I couldn't resist, even though it is the end of the season. Bought 4 6-packs of the Srixon Z Star 6 balls. With shipping and tax it came to about $ 26 a dozen.

I do love the MTB-X. If I wasn't playing the Z Star, I'd be playing the MTB-X. I still have a supply of them so I'm sure I use them at some point during the next year.

 

I'm just really enjoying the softer feel of the Z Star.

 

What are you playing now?

[NJgolfer11]

Just bought 10 6-packs on golfdiscount.com. 5 Z-Star and 5 Z-Star XV. After tax, it was $21 per dozen. Too good of a deal to pass up.

Yeah...the XV was longer off the tee for me. The stock version is plenty long with the other clubs. And, the XV was shorter for me with the shorter irons. Interesting. I found I actually started clubbing up on some approach shots with the XV.
