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.

    • Have you talked with sprinters? Many would disagree that their sport is entirely physical. (I get what you're saying, but we're both speaking from a position, I think, of ignorance on this re: sprinting, or high-level basketball. What if you've missed your last four jump shots? How do you take the next one, or do you start to pass more?)
    • Also, go back to what you were doing when you were here. Start slow, and build from there.
    • Day 37 (6 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout today - started off bogey-par, blew up three with lost ball triple.  Settled in to finish par-bogey, bogey-par-par-bogie 43 front. Opened the back with dbl followed by par, birdie, par, bogey, bogey, par, bogey, bogey to close with a 41 - 84 overall.  All that to cover key takeaways from today:  First - putting was solid with a total of 29 putts; Second - the two blow up holes were followed with pars (learning to leave it behind); Third - off the tee was solid (except for the blow-up on three); Fourth - of the 7 pars - 3 were up and down 1 putts and Fifth - out of position recovery type shots were about trusting the club to execute.  It was a good day - capped by closest to the pin on the par 3 12th hole….
    • And of course, none of that should matter if I’m practicing because it shouldn’t be based on the results of contact. Took me about an hour and a half to calm down to have that realization.
    • Ok big time rant time.  Man, I am still hot under the collar after the range session tonight. Like, John Wick gets his dog shot smoldering pissed off. Like, WTF is going on. It is driving me crazy right now. I go from hitting great shots up in Erie, to this being a cluster F***. Come on Matt, you don't need Erik to hold your F****** hand to make you hit the ball good. Jesus. WTF.  1st) The backswing is all a mess because I am trying to get the forearms to turn over. So, it's F****** 30 degrees across the line at the top (verified by video), because I am trying to over exaggerate it, so I am giving it extra length for momentum. Because that added in swing length, I now haw no time to get the club down. So, hello right side bend. If I don't right side bend, I don't turn. Because, turning causes me to steepen the golf club. So, I am like 10 degrees closed at impact (video verified). I even have video where I get to A6, and I start turning more, and I steepen the club because. It's like turn = yank on club.  2nd) Trying to pause a bit on the backswing has thrown my timing off so much, I either slide hips forward, and right side bend (F****** back doesn't like that). Or, I yank on the club and steepen the crap out of it. If I try to pause and do the forearm stuff, it's a mess of what I talk above.  Ok, enough of that, time to refocus and get back at it. Just going to grind at this for eternity.
