The Srixon Z-Star Golf Ball is available in 2 colors, pure white and tour yellow respectively, and it retails for $39.99 a dozen (MSRP). Considering the price tag, it's pretty obvious that the Srixon Z-Star are premium tour golf balls, engineered to deliver maximum performance for world's most demanding golfers. The Srixon Z-Star uses the company's patented Spin Skin technology, which is basically a brand new dimple pattern and an improved (enhanced) core. These two technologies combined make for the Srixon Z-Star to perform like a firmer ball, while keeping a soft feel. The company says their new Spin Skin technology improves friction between the club surface and the golf ball by 20 percent, and that translates into improved greenside control and spin, but without compromising distance off the tee. The ball really delivers in the long game and it's clear that the Srixon Z-Star was designed to appease better players with good control. It's worth mentioning that the Z-Star doesn't suffer from too much spin, and it's the perfect choice for players with higher swing speeds looking for an interesting blend of benefits between a firm and a soft ball. In this category, the Srixon Z-Star plays in a league of its own.
