Just put this new ball into play, plan is to use it all year instead of B330S/B330. initial impressions are that this could be THE BALL of 2007, great distance, good spin on the greens, reasonably durable. It will have to be good to replace the B330 in my bag, initial thoughts are that it is !

I just finished a full round with the ZUR-C. I typically play the ZUR-S so I was interested in how the C would play.

 

Distance: I thought that the C was maybe a yard or two longer off the irons than the S. However, it definitely was longer off of the driver and 3 wood. By ten yards easy. (BTW I have a 105 driver SS).

 

Feel: This is where the C fell a little short. It's a pretty firm ball for my SS. It felt good on full shots, but it felt more like the ZUR than I would prefer. The S is very very soft, which is what I like. On chipping it was more difficult for me to control out of the rough because it would definitely jump off the face, but this may just require some getting used to as I think the firm feel had me easing up on those shots.

 

Spin/Control: The ball has very good spin control. Better than the ZUR-S. It checks up a bit more, but not like a ProV(which is too much). I was able to get a 155 yard 7 iron to take one hop and stop with this club. I also hit a very poor 110 yard bunker shot that was hit scaldingly low and thin but still checked up on the green. I also thought the ball held its line very well in the breeze, but it was not a full club wind. It does have a noticeable seem so I'm curious if it will be affected by a stronger wind.

 

Durability: I found the durability to be like all Srixon balls - Very Good. They just don't seem to scuff up as badly as other premium balls.

 

Overall, this may replace the S as my ball of choice because I want a little more spin control to attack the flag with the short game. I'll give it another few rounds to see if it stays.

Except for the durability this may very well be the best ball I have ever played. Flies far, spins well and feels excellent around the greens. Definitely going to be in my bag for the 2007 season. It's a must try!

Is the feel similar to the Z-UR? The Z-UR feels like a rock to me...I really like Srixon and just want to find the best one for my game.

Z-URC is a great ball for me! I enjoy the distance off the Tee and love the feel around the greens! If I don't pump one OB I can get through the round without having to change the ball out for a new one! This is a great ball - a must try for every serious golfer!

Softer. Not as soft as the ZurS but nice. This is the only premium ball that you see a noticeable length difference. It is deep! I am sold on Srixon ZurC.

I bought both the Z-URS and Z-URC to try. Both are great! I think the Z-URC spins more, the Z-URS seems a little longer. I play on greens that can be hard and very fast (13+ last weekend, US Open fast). I think I'm going to play the URC when it's dry and I need the spin, the URS when the greens are more receptive. Not sure yet

 

Srixon experts, any suggestions?

[Jekylhyde]

I played this ball today and was shocked; I have a new favorite. Note quite as soft off the irons/driver for me as the Pro V1X but checks up much. much better on chips (perhaps even better than the Pro V1?), and is more durable and perhaps 5-10yds longer. Similar performance on wedge and irons - but just doesn't feel as soft with my ss (105 5 iron / 120 driver). Did think I noticed a slight tendency to balloon that I haven't seen with the other premium balls (???).

[PGAPankey]

Srixon says that this is supposed to have the least spin of the ZUR family but like some others here I thought it had more than the ZUR and ZUR-S. This is a great ball unless you need the spin. For someone who could use a little less spin this is right on.

I would agree with this. I won 2 sleeves of these on a par 3 contest Fri and gamed them Sunday. I was really impressed good distance, decent feel, I'm a very high ball flight high spin player. These were outstanding for me on approach shots Lw-5 iron not one shot I hit was the ball more than 3 feet from the ball mark. With my 2008 one platinums I bad habit of spinning wedges off greens sometimes. The one downside I noticed to the Z-URC is short game spin.
