SRIXON Z-STAR Series Golf Balls - Key Technology 

Key Technology -  New Core Construction

1) New SRIXON Z-STAR – “Super-soft” E.G.G. large-diameter core The “super-soft” E.G.G. large-diameter core, that has enhanced outer hardness and inner softness and feels softer than the previous model, provides the optimal launch conditions having higher launch angle and lower driver spin. Combined with the newly developed dimple pattern, it delivers the best flight performance ever in the SRIXON Z-STAR history*.

2) New SRIXON Z-STAR XV – “High-repulsion” E.G.G. large-diameter dual core The outer core with more consistent hardness promotes higher repulsion and increases ball speed, and the inner core with enhanced outer hardness and inner softness provides the optimal launch conditions having higher launch angle and lower driver spin. Combined with the newly developed dimple pattern, it delivers the best flight performance ever in the SRIXON Z-STAR history*.

Key Technology -  Newly Developed Dimple Pattern

Newly developed “powerful-trajectory” 338 Speed Dimple Pattern maintains ball speed and produces more penetrating flight.

The New Z-STAR series utilizes 5 different dimple sizes to improve the relationship between uniformity and occupancy for more efficient and longer flight. By decreasing the drag coefficient right after launch, it helps the ball travel through the air with less resistance and maintains ball speed. By increasing the lift coefficient after the ball reaches its apex, it helps the ball stay in the air longer to maximise distance.

TOUR PLAYER FEEDBACK:

Hideki Matsuyama:

“This is a truly reliable ball that delivers more distance than anything I have ever used before, and it has more responsive feel at impact. Playing on the USPGA Tour, I need a ball, which stops on the green with irons, so I’m very satisfied with the new Z-STAR creating the optimal spin. It also has more spin and better feel around the green, and has more consistent spin especially from the rough, so I’m amazed with these significant improvements.”

The new Srixon Z Star will be available in stores from 17TH February and have a suggested retail price of £44.99.
