APPLY: Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV Golf Ball Testing!!! 15 Members Wanted!

[knudson81]

 

 

Srixon has new versions of the Z-Star and Z-Star XV for 2017 and we need 15 GolfWRX members to text them out! The 15 members who are selected need to be able to play the ball in a few weeks when they receive them in order to write their review. Below is a little description from our article on the new balls just a few weeks ago. You can read more about the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV here.

 

Z-Star

Compression was reduced in this three-piece golf ball, giving it a slightly softer feel that also encourages a higher launch and lower driver spin from the tee. Its Energetic Gradient Growth (E.G.G.) core is designed to be the softest in the middle, and gets progressively firmer toward the outer edge of the golf ball. This design is said to maximize energy transfer at impact and optimize launch conditions for the player.

 

Z-Star XV

The redesigned dual E.G.G. core, which now has a softer inner core and firmer outer core, helps to decrease driver spin but also increase ball speed on this four-piece construction. Golfers can also expect their launch angle to be higher than with the Z-Star XV predecessor due to the changes.
