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.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
