I have been hitting Srixon for about three years now.  I started with the SoftFeel and graduated to the Z Star whites as I started getting my game back after knee surgery.  Last year I decided to try the Z Star yellows, and I love them.  Besides being easier to see, I noticed that they are better around the greens.

Recently I also took some lessons to get my driver more on track.  I had a bad over the top dead pull after the knee surgery, for about two years.  After a lesson and buying Bobby Wilson's Long Drive Series, I am hitting a driver longer than ever before.  I tested with both the white and yellow Z Stars, and to me there was a noticable difference.  It may all be psychological, but I don't think so.  It may be that they are just easier to see by us old guys....and kind of has a calming effect because of the color.

Anyway, I went from 21 handicap to 13 with game inprovement (yes better clubs), but also because I went to what I believe is a better ball.  Also, if you are looking to buy a dozen, get them on eBay instead of some retail or online store.  They are not close to $45.  I get them for about $27 or $28 a dozen, but then I usually also buy six dozen at a time.

Been playing the Q star yellows lately ... not sure I can justify the cost at this point in my game development.      Nice ball, but feels very soft off the driver (I'm not used to spinny balls, so ymmv) - probably won't spend that much again for balls.

Remember, tennis balls were all white up until the 60's ... try finding a white tennis ball today

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
