Has anyone tried any of these balls? The guy at the pro shop said they were like the Titleist of Japan. How do these compare to others?

Depends which model. They make many great balls.

AD333 for someone that want's a little low spinner for quite cheap. Then there is the ZUR-S and ZUR-C which are softer.

In my opinion the AD333 or better than the titleist NXT tours but that is just my opinion. I do not use premium balls so cannot comment on the others!
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

I've tried the AD333 a few times and each time I come to the same conclusion - they cut up much too easily. I use the Pro-V1 X and although it's more expensive, I find it definitely lasts longer and can take a few hacks out of bunkers etc. The Srixon tends to shred off the groves in my experience - And it's not a problem with my irons or anything as I've changed recently. I find the same with my SW and LW which are also different makes/models.

Durability aside, I don't think they play all that differently from the Pro V 1.

The Z-URS and Z-ZURC are both great golf balls. They are Srixons equivalent of the ProV1 and ProV1x respectively. In the end it is personal choice but it is well worth purchasing a sleeve if you have the chance. I have used the AD333 and Tri-Speed as well but was not a big fan

I have used the Srixon Trispeed. It's in the NXT/e5/e6 range. It's not bad - pretty good ball for the price. I haven't tried any of their high end balls yet.

They are quite popular in Japan, but I don't think they are #1. The mother company owns Cleveland now, right? I went to the Cleveland HQ for a fitting a couple of months ago and they gave me a bunch of Srixon balls that I haven't tried yet. I think Srixon balls might be Cleveland branded in the US market.

I components! Currently playing Alpha and Nakashima.

    • When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?
    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:
