Srixon UR-X

[MI Rob]

Picked up a dozen of these today. Havent tried a Srixon ball yet but have heard some great things and they were cheap.
Just wondering what you think of them, pros and cons. Im going to game them tomorrow.
Thanks.

I heard the Z-Star was a VERY underrated ball and the best ball for its money.

Isn't the Z-star 40$ a doz?

the UR-X is a pretty old ball. Go see if you can get your hands on some Z-star x's...great ball.

yea, they are. still cheaper than a pro-v

I've played the Z-Star X for a few rounds now and i'd rate them neck and neck with Prov's...still don't spin as much as a v but sometimes when they're soft greens you don't want too much. I'd suggest them to just about anyone looking for a pro-quality ball that's not 45-50 bucks a dozen. just a note, Taylormade TP blacks are 27.50 at dicks.

Ill be picking up TP blacks soon.

What are the differences between the reds and blacks? Which do you prefer?

The Z-Star X competes with the Pro V1x, so it won't spin as much as the Pro V. If you want a softer feel and more spin try the Z-Star. I've played thr Z-Star X since it came out and I love it. It does everything the Titleist balls do and is better in the wind. Check out the review here:

... except spin on chip shots, pitches, etc.

George and I tested this out a few times when we played during the Memorial. Suffice to say we don't like the Srixons at all.

The past two weeks I've played the Z-Star and Z-Star X balls. Now I'm not anywhere near a scratch golfer, but I'm definitely improving and (as most do) looking for a ball that stacks up to the Pro-V1/x with added benefits for your type of game.

From what I've noticed in the 4 rounds I've played them - they seem to not spin as much (but thats fine for me - I just want it to stick somewhere within 5 or 10 feet of where it hit the green assuming a crisp shot with a 7 iron or something).

As for greenside pitch/chip/etc shots, its much more noticeable. Unless chunk and run is your bread and butter, you just gotta plan for a little extra roll out.

Off the tee, I guess I don't really have an exact description - it felt heavier. I can't quite explain it, it just feels harder even though it felt fine with iron shots so perhaps someone can fill this one in for me. BUT they also seemed a lot more durable than Pro-V1/x balls. After 9 or so holes there was minimal scuff (even after a bunch of full wedge shots).

I've read the website's review on the Z-Star, and it seems to contradict what I've found through my own experience. I've played both a ProV1 and a Z-Star side-by-side, and from what I could tell both performed exactly the same. They both have a different feel (the Z-Star has more of a "clicky"-soft feel where the ProV1 is more of a "mushy"-soft feel), but outside of that I couldn't tell any difference between the two. I was expecting the ProV1 to have more spin around the green, but both held like glue.
