I picked up a dozen of these a few weeks back because it came with a free hat...glad I did. It's a 3-piece ball, has great feel and they give me a lot more spin than a cheaper ball does. They aren't cheap, think I paid around $40 for them, but I believe these are their best ball. If you're not already a Pro V1 loyalist, you may want to give these a try.

here is a good article on the different balls on the market and comparisons. They match up almost exactly with the ProV 1 and the Z-Start X matches closely with the Pro V1x. Definitely worth a try if you are not stuck on a ball.

i tired the Z Star Tour yellow - found it to be considerably shorter than the Pro V and even the B'stone B330 RX-S

That's because you're from Saskatchewan, guys from B.C. hit them a mile...just kidding. I'd kill to be able to bow hunt in Sask.

I found one on the course in brand new conditions but didn't manage to play well with it (not that i blame the ball). check around the greens was about the same as a pro v1x and it wasn't as accurate off the tee.
it's a nice ball but i'll stick with my pro v1x until i can give the z-star x a shot, maybe i'll like that one more.

I'm working on a dozen Srixon Trispeeds (alternating rounds with a Wilson Eco Core). If the Z Star is better than the Trispeed, I'll maybe give them a try, because the Trispeeds feel solid tee to green.

I played with both the z-star and the trispeed... z-star obviously checks a lot more, but i did notice that it was shorter, but most premium balls are a little shorter. I don't mind this so much. But i did have trouble with the Trispeed and not checking at all... Maybe i don't compress it enough but, no other ball had as much roll out. The Z-Star was Great! I think i am going to start playing the yellows. I like to easily find the ball and this helps greatly!

I do actually prefer other balls to the Trispeeds - thought it was just me though. They're a little too long (flown greens), but I never play a high spin ball, so I'm used to a little bit of release.

I actually ordered some last saturday not realizing it came with a free hat until checkout haha. Now I can pretend I'm Jim Furyk :P I just thought I'd try one of their nicer balls because no one sells Srixon's around here and the Z Star's seem like they are well liked.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
