Personally, I prefer the Q-Star over the E6 - though they are very similar in performance and feel. Honestly, the easiest way to figure out if it is the ball for you is to just try it. I prefer Srixon in general over Bridgestone so I'm biased.

I only prefer Srixon because I've had some of my best rounds with Srixon balls and it becomes totally mental.

Performance wise they should be close to one another as they are both the same type of ball.  I've personally never used either one so I can't say which one I'd prefer but I would like to try the Q-Star out... Best way, as Spyder said, is to get some of both and try them for yourself.

I have not hit the E series ball by Bridgestone, so I can't compare the 2. But I can say that I really liked the Qstar. Very durable ball for one. Improved distance, but still had some green side softness. Played similar to the AD333 ball, but was a bit farther flying than the AD333. I played with the Tour Yellow version (as my first yellow ball) and I loved that aspect. Very easy to follow in the air and easy to spot on the ground. For the money, its definitely worth a try.

I played yesterday and used the yellow QStar ball.  I played my worst round of the year, but it was not the balls fault.  It started raining then pouring on the third hole.  Thirty MPH winds also added to the experience.  That being said, I did hit the green 3 times from about 160 with my five iron and the ball was within 3 feet of the pitch mark/crater each time.  The ball will hold the green pretty well on full approach shots.  For some reason I liked the AD333 better.  I will be trying out the Bridgestone E6 next time I get out.  I am curious as to how it would compare in terms of distance

I'm assuming its a fairly straight ball.Didn't know if it as long as the E6 or not? I would be willing to give up a little distance for a ball That's better around the green... I just currently need a little help with straightness off the driver.

Q stars hold greens much better than E6's. Similar distance off the tee for me, but with better spin. After trying a few Q stars, I hunted down some AD333's @ 2 dozen for $25 and they perform equally as good for half the price.

The Q-Star is softer and spinnier than the E6.  Basically, its like an E6 with a softer cover.  Ive played both and IMO the Q-Star is hands-down the better ball.

Srixon tri-speed or tri-speed Tour would be better than the "Q star" the Q star is only a two piece ball if Im not mistaken… ??

I have played both and find the Q-Star holds the green a "little" better than the e6 but that is not saying much.  They both are about the same distance and both lack spin.  Not impressed with either one.

Q stars fly straight and hold greens okay, for players trying to push into 5 or below index territory this probably isn't the best all around ball but could still probably perform well enough.

Love them. Cheap, great feel and good looking.  They are my home course "ball" so I find at least 3-4 per round !

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
