Anyone play the Srixon Z-URS or Z-URC?

[jjb333]

If so, how do you like them? I'm thinking of giving them a try to see how they stack up and I've heard some good things.

[907golfer12]

Yeah, I'm thinking about switching back from the Pro V1, I personally think they are great, and perform better then the Pro V IMHO.

[misty_mountainhop]

I've used them both on occasion. The URC is more like the V1 while the URS is more like the V1x. You need a fast clubhead to get the best out of both the V1x and the URS.

I like the feel of the V1x and URS off the putter better than the V1 and URC (they're a bit firmer) but my game suits the V1 and URC better as I can't really claim to have a Tour speed swing .

Have anyone tried the new Bridgestone B330 RX yet?? Supposed to be aimed at more 'typical' amateur speed swings but I haven't seen it to try yet over here.

Not sure that's entirely accurate. According to Srixon, the URS has a lower compression and so wouldn't need as high of a swing speed to get the most of it distance-wise. The URS is a bit softer feeling. Actually the Srixon balls are somewhat of an anomaly as the URS has a lower compression core, softer feel, while having lower spin compared to the URC. Both of the Srixon balls are good. From talking with other players the ones that like the V1 tend towards the URS and the ones that play the V1x seem to prefer the URC. The URS works better for me all around, but I love both balls and would play either one.

I'm also interested in trying the B330-RX but it's getting to the last couple weeks of the semester so I'm out of a commission for a while.

yeah, the urs = v1 and urc = v1x

but in my opinion they are great. u can find em on ebay for dirt cheap too. just as good as prov1 and a lot cheaper

[Shanks-a-lot]

I've played the URC's. I was short on balls and the course I was at had them on sale for $30. They seem to have the same characteristics as the ProV1x. Honestly, I'm not sure that I strik the ball well enough to tell the difference between good balls though, but I liked them and haven't gone through that box yet so I'm happy.

[907golfer12]

I have tried the B330-RX, and IMHO it is great for average swing speeds (like me) because I picked up about 15 yards over the Pro V1x, but the spin just wasn't there. I first played the RX in Oregon, and there I was spinning back V1x's if I wanted to, but I could not for the life of me spin the RX back. For the money I would say go for any other tour ball, heck even the B330-S, that's a great ball IMO.

Doh! Sorry. Somehow or other I got my balls mixed up (if you know what I mean!). I

meant the URS is more or less the equivalent of the V1 and the URC ~= V1x.

Not a fan of the urc, thought they had a very odd muted feel off the driver and irons, but thats just me.


Definetly a fan of the urs thouh.


Regarding the RX, i gotta disagree with 907, i found that they had ample spin, more so than i like actually, as my go to 5 yard draw turned into a slightly larger 15 yard draw with what i felt was a good swing.

[MiniMoe]

I have played both those balls. I love the z-urc, but I learned they play 1/2 club short. Ex: I hit a stock 7 165 - 170 with the prov1-x. With the z-urc, that changes to 160-165. I don't mind it, but I do have to pay attention to what I'm doing on the course. I shot my all time low with the z-urc. Good ball

[Aaronsrix17]

I play the z-urs. Personally i think its better than pro v1. But thats just me.

My local shop has these @ 39.99/doz buy one get one free, so basically $20.00/doz.

[Flatswinger]

The B330-RX doesn't spin enough for me. I top out at 104 mph with my driver, which puts me somewhere in the high 80's with my irons, I guess, so I should be a good candidate for a lower compression ball. But the spin's just not there on chips & pitches. I will say that on full shots the -RX spins well enough.
