Z-STAR XV provides maximum ball speed for unmatched Driver and Iron distance. Its premium 3-piece construction gives skilled players complete tour performance, tee to green.

The softer Z-Star is designed for approach shot and maximum greenside spin, the firmer Z-Star ♦ (Diamond) aims at iron spin control and distance and the Z-Star XV mixes a softer central core with a very firm outer region to maximize ball speed for the most aggressive swing speeds.

About the Srixon Z-Star Greenside spin is listed as the highest within the Z-Star family. All of the balls we purchased were made at Srixon's Indonesian factory. The data we've collected to date suggests (though it does not prove) that quality control isn't quite as good as it is in the company's Japanese factory.

Any time golf equipment can help me hit the ball higher, I am interested. The new Srixon Z Star XV golf ball, which is played by Hideki Matsuyama, Shane Lowry and Cameron Champ, is designed to do just that. More flight, more distance, more spin.

The Z-Star Diamond was made to fit between the standard Z-Star and the XV ball, and it has a firmer feel and higher compression than the Z-Star but will feel softer than the Z-Star XV.

The Srixon Z-Star XV Divide is an excellent choice for a low-spin golf ball for the higher swing speed player looking for more precision, a lower ball flight, and less ballooning on high-spin shots.

Whilst both are extremely good options, The Titleist Pro V1 remains the benchmark that all other premium balls will be judged against. The Z Star will be a good choice for those who like softer feel golf balls and a bit more spin than the Pro V1.

Japan Srixon

Despite its Japanese origins, Srixon is currently based in Huntington, California.

For example, Mizuno and Srixon irons are made in Japan, but what about their woods and Mizuno's wedges?

Srixon Z-Star XV - Compression Other balls with similar compression values include the Snell MTB-X, Callaway Chrome Soft X and the Titleist Pro V1x.

Luckily for golfers, Srixon's Z-Star line has three distinct models - Z-Star, Z-Star XV and Z-Star Diamond - to help golfers find the perfect fit for their games. The Z-Star has the softest feel, the Z-Star XV is the firmest of the three options and the Z-Star Diamond lies somewhere in between.
