I see lots of people recommend the Srixon Q-Star Tours. 
Has anyone not had good experiences with them or been disappointed? Just looking for input on this ball in particular.  I’m curious to hear the good and bad reports on this ball.

MGS ball test gave it a "fair" rating:

I like the ball, and think that it's a good match for it's intended audience. Will a ProV1 guy like it? Probably not.

It's a fine ball. I found one a few weeks ago and gave it a whirl. No worse or better than other similar branded balls. Feels a bit on the mushy side for my taste but you might like it for that reason based on your like/dislike. Price not bad I think.

Spend $10/doz. more and get the Titleist Pro V1 practice balls.  They don't have performance issues, and they conform to the rules.  I use them all the time for at-home practice.

Not my favorite  ball. It is okay it just does not work for me. Don't like the feel off the driver and putter. Plus it is shorter than my Callaway Super Soft ball.

I play this ball currently.  It is reasonably priced (full price being $26.99/dz, but I've got them often for $24.99 and even down to $19.99/dz).  This is a good deal for a urethane covered ball.  It plays well in the wind (which is huge for me in Texas) and has a good feel while putting.  I haven't tried the Srixon Z Star but for my handicap (10 ish), I haven't found any deficiency in this Q Star Tour ball.  Note that the 'Q Star' (not Tour) is an ionomer covered ball, much cheaper, and does not compare to the Tour ball.  Hope that helps.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
