Description The New Z-STAR is a high-performance ball with low compression and extremely soft feel. Featuring a combination of an ultra-thin urethane cover, new manufacturing techniques and dimple configuration to maximize the STAR performance, this offering is the softer of the two Z-STAR balls, and provides exceptional feel around the green and distance control with the putter.
Summary: Tend to stick to the "tried and true", that being Pro V1's and NXT Tour's. I'll venture out there but always return "home". Not this time. The reason I joined the review was this ball. I just really felt I needed to say something about a great, great ball. Better than all on and around the green. Longer off the tee than Pro V's, i(z)(s),and any Nike. Comparable to NXT Tour, distance wise. Did my test on a warm, calm Saturday evening with no one on the course and hit HUNDREDS of shots. Z Star won easily.

Summary: I would take what all the Titleist fanboys say with a grain of salt. I was completely unbiased in picking a new ball and tried several of the top tour balls, even the new Nike 20XI-S, before choosing this ball.
I have a swing speed of 112 mph and compress the ball very well. I was expecting this super soft golf ball to not go anywhere near where my Pro V1s did. I actually hit it just as far and Did not lose any distance.
The spin on these things is incredible. Certain courses I play on can have small dry fast greens where nothing would stick, not even the "unbeatabl pro v1, but these would hit and stop, immediately. On slower more receptive greens these things can zip back so be careful.
Its one of the best feeling balls out of all I tried off the putter and the greenside control was remarkable. I hit a very steep fast stinger from behind a large green and this ball hit the upslope and took one hop and stopped. Needless to say I was still very far from the hole, but that just blew my mind.
If feel and spin, along with durability, are your biggest concerns, you can not go wrong with the new srixon z stars at all.
Bye bye Titleist, ive found a better ball.

Summary: I'm going to give these balls one more try when the courses dry out but the z star does not fly near as well as my Pro V's. This ball flies high and short. Switched back to a Titleist after 3 holes.

Summary: Have played ProV1 for the last 6 years and picked up a dozen Z Star because they are half price.
Played with these for the 1st time today and all I can say is woeful. Shorter than ProV1,flew very high and didn't didn't beat the ProV1 in any aspect.
