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.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
