I've been playing the Srixon Q star divide balls since their release mid last year. 

Srixon have just launched the Z star divide in the US. However here in Australia I'll have to wait another month or two.

But I did manage to buy mint secondhand balls from a reputable seller here, who source there balls from overseas.

Since then a couple of odd things have emerged. Amongst the dozen I bought there was a random yellow/orange Z star divide. I like that colour in the q star, so I thought I'd research them. Thing is they don't seem to exist in that colour.

And the other thing is I found a year old picture of the standard white/yellow Z star divide. Thats 12 months before the official market release date! 

Very confusing. Have these Z star divides been around in the US for a while, and only just been officially released?

Welcome to TST @High Draw.   We're glad you've joined.   

I had a dozen of the Q Star divide (Orange/White) until my playing partners wanted some for putting.   I really like to putt with them and they are definitely easier for me to see off of the tee. 

I believe, don't quote me, that the Z star divide just came out around Christmas time.    I believe they only come is Yellow/White.    I haven't purchased any nor have any plan to purchase them.   I'm content with what I am currently using.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
