Srixon has introduced its latest Z-STAR golf balls, marking the ninth generation of the popular series. The new Z-STAR series aims to deliver faster speeds off the tee, increased spin around the greens, and enhanced durability to last through multiple rounds. One of the key features of the new Z-STAR golf balls is the FastLayer DG Core 2.0, which provides a gradual progression of firmness for optimal performance in each of the three available models.
Players can choose from three different models of the Z-STAR series, each offering unique performance characteristics. The Z-STAR features an even softer core for a soft feel and low compression, suitable for mid-flight trajectories and enhanced greenside spin. The Z-STAR XV, favored by professional golfer Hideki Matsuyama, offers a firmer core for maximum distance and high iron spin. The Z-STAR Diamond, chosen by Brooks Koepka, combines distance off the tee with greenside spin for a balanced performance.
Srixon has also introduced three optical choices for the Z-STAR golf balls, including Pure White, Tour Yellow, and the Divide model. The Z-STAR Divide features a yellow and white contrast for better visual tracking, creating a spinning strobe effect to gauge spin with wedges. Additionally, the new Z-STAR series utilizes a biomass cover and Spin Skin+ coating to enhance durability and spin performance for a more consistent game from tee to green.
The Z-STAR golf balls will be available for purchase starting on Jan. 24 at a retail price of $49.99. Golfers looking to upgrade their equipment for the 2025 season can find fitting locations at True Spec Golf. Overall, the new Z-STAR series from Srixon offers a blend of performance, durability, and visual appeal, making it a compelling choice for players looking to enhance their game on the course.
