After having the flu and was stuck in bed over the thanksgiving holidays, I had a lot of time to review many different balls. I settled on the Srixon Q-Star Tour. Finally got to try them today. WOW is all I can say. For about half the price of Pro V1, you can’t beat these bad boys. I would feel comfortable betting money that if you teed one up, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I like the way they play on the Green better too.

Agree to disagree. I bought a dozen of TP5X, and absolutely hated them. But I know what you’re saying.

I didn't say they all feel the same. But people equate feel to performance. For example, if a ball feels soft they automatically equate it to more greenside spin. Harder balls? Prolly fly further.. etc..

I have played PV-1s in the past. Great ball, but for my swing/game, just not worth the extra coins. 

I have also played Srixon balls in the past, but not the one the OP listed. Found them all to be quite playable too. Actually I can't remember ever playing a "poor quality" ball. My scores stayed about the same, relative to how I was playing at the time. 

I will just stay with my cheapie Bridgestones untill I am done playing. .

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

If you like those, you should also try Maxfli U6.

For about $32.00/dozen, they're worth it.

But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

I hit some of the old Srixon Q-Stars and liked them. I like the Titleist AVX better. In all honestly, I probably could not tell the difference in my score, but balls are just as personal as any other equipment.  I think I hit the AVX about a half club longer with my irons than anything I have tried. Your mileage may vary-that's why all brands are able to sell a few.

I've played them, not a bad ball, but I think they are shorter off the driver than the Titleist for me. Like someone said most of the Tour balls are pretty close to one another, its more about finding one that fits your needs for spin and feel. Whats best for one person might not be the best for someone else. Some people need the extra spin off the driver, some people need a little less spin off the wedges. You play around until you get one you like in your budget. I prefer the Titleist AVX, except in the winter I play ProV1x.

    • Starting over - missed posting yesterday and it had been less than 28 days since last off day….today was tempo drill day.  Worked on takeaway and moving smoothly into weight shift.  
    • I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?   
    • Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄 
    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
