About the Srixon Q-Star Tour It's a class of balls typically marketed to slow to moderate swing speed golfers. Balls in the category are invariably softer than those played on the PGA TOUR. Relative to something like a Pro V1, they're typically higher-flying and lower-spinning as well.

The Z-Star Divide comes with a 3-piece construction that features a 92 compression FastLayer DG core that gets progressively firmer as you move from the centre to the outer layers. This is what gives the Divide its performance with the softer centre controlling spin and the firmer exterior delivering the speed.

Srixon Z-Star XV Srixon are well represented in professional golf. They have a whole host of Tour players using balls from their Z-Star range. On the men's Tours, the Srixon Z-Star XV is the most popular ball in play. Whereas, on the ladies' Tours the Srixon Z-Star is the most popular ball in players' bags.

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

To explain it simpler: golf ball compression is the measurement of how the clubface presses the ball upon impact. The pressing manner on the golf ball the clubface provides during impact is called compression.

Characteristics of a Soft Golf Ball Most manufacturers will label the compression rating on the product box, and soft golf balls have a compression rating from 35 to 65. Softies generate a higher degree of spin than firmer balls, allowing a more controlled shot for skilled players.
