I've played them in the past and really like the Q Star Tour.

played the regular q star quite a bit. performs decent for the price. never played the tour version but im assuming its slightly softer which will definately perform better on approach shots compared to the regular q star.

Actually been switching back and forth between the z-star and MTB Snell ball. Both are very similar but I think the Srixon might go a little further off of the tee.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

Played the QST again in 60 degree temps. It felt great and there was plenty of green side spin. At DSG, they have 6 ball trial packs at 10 dollars, which can't be beat. In the very cold weather, I will be going with the soft feel.

I just bought some Q-Stars. Haven't played them yet but at my home course you need more spin around the green for better control so I'm starting to up my ball game..lol

AD333's, UK equivalent to the Q Star. Pretty decent ball. I like to try different balls so not sure if i'll stick with them next year. Trying to go back to budget golf again.

Q Star or QST? You've got to try the QST for the green side spin.

Baby steps, Q Star for now. I've played a few rounds with QST but that was before I started taking lessons.

I'd recommend the QST. For 8-10 bucks more, you get to watch them spin on the green.

I purchased 3 dozen Srixon Soft during the cyber Monday sale from Dicks.  I will give my opinion in the Spring.

I'll rain on this thread. I've never like Srixon golf balls. I never felt like their premium golf balls performed as well as other brands.

Ive played Srixons in the past.  Theyre good balls, nothing special though.  I used to be a big fan of the AD333 but havent exactly been overwhelmed by any of their newer offerings.

    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
