Hey guys,

I've been playing Srixon Z-Star XV's now for about two years and I love the way they play. However I'm not able to get deals on them anymore and I'm looking for a ball that will have similar performance with more of a medium price range.

I'm looking for a medium price ball that will respond well to higher swing speeds and have lower spin off the tee ( My drives average 275+ yards, 7-iron distance is 175-180). Preferably it wouldn't sacrifice too much feel and spin around the greens, although I know there will be a bit of a change from the top of the line balls.

I've been thinking about trying Titleist Velocity, and the Bridgestone e-series. Don't know much about other medium price range balls.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Why change?

I understand a desire/need to keep an eye on your golf budget, but you're a pretty good player, so you don't lose a lot of balls.  At best, if you find a ball that's $12 a box cheaper than what you're playing now, you save a buck a ball.  That probably translates to about a buck per round of golf over the long haul.  Given that you really love the Z-Star, is it really worth a dollar per round to give that up?

Keep on the lookout for "past generation" or logo over-run balls at your local golf stores, or on-line too.....neither of those will affect your playability in the slightest.  But my recommendation is that you play the ball that you like and in which you have confidence.  Find the buck somewhere else.....

Unfortunately I live in Canada so there is expensive shipping from Golfball.com. Good deal though. Also I'm not really interested in used balls

I live in Canada too so I hear ya about the shipping rapes of the US based companies. :censored: You'd think they'd want our business but apparently not.

I buy all my golf balls in mint quality at Knetgolf.com , Canadian based company. I usually buy 5dz at a time and shipping is $9.99 on the 5dz. Once you're in their database they send you discount codes (usually 15% but occasionally 25%) by email every 6 weeks or so. Everytime I get one of those emails I check my supply and if I'm getting low I order another 5dz. Sometimes the discount will be for 15% on all Titleist balls, but when you read the fine print you'll see that the discount is applicable to any brand.

Always buy mint or one step lower (I think that's AAAAA with knetgolf) and NEVER buy refinished or refurbished.

Never had an issue and always have a huge supply of my preferred ball.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

The rates are "rapes" both ways.  I don't get it.  Montreal is much closer to Boston than Hawaii, but shipping to Maui is cheaper!

I hear ya. So I just ship to a place in the states that is close and whenever we go down for some golf or shopping I pick them up. Do the same with clubs

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
