Srixon rolls out 9th generation of Z-STAR golf balls

9.29am 7th January 2025 - New Products

SRIXON‘s latest line of Z-STAR Series golf balls – which are available at retail from February 22 – are engineered to pack an even greater punch, with longer distance, more optimised spin, and tour-level stopping power around the greens.

A highlight of the latest Z-STAR Series is the newly formulated, extra thin, premium urethane cover made with biomass. This innovative cover is specifically designed to withstand all conditions faced on the course, ensuring each Z-STAR Series model maintains its tour-calibre performance throughout rounds of play. 

The Z-STAR Series also features Spin Skin+ coating, a thin layer of specialised urethane that increases the cover’s friction, resulting in enhanced approach shots and greenside spin. Additionally, the use of a stronger urethane paint in this generation helps improve resistance to dirt and grime, providing players superior spin control and extra versatility around the greens.

The newly formulated FastLayer DG Core 2.0, consisting of three unique formulas, lies at the core of the Z-STAR Series. Starting soft at the centre and gradually firming from the inside out, this core design ensures optimum spin and distance, while still delivering Srixon’s signature feel.  FastLayer DG Core 2.0 also enables optimal core evolution for each model, providing even more distinction between the ball options. 

All four models feature Srixon’s 338 Speed Dimple Pattern, which creates less drag and more lift and boosts overall distance and flies straight, even in the toughest wind conditions. 

The Z-STAR model, with reduced compression at the centre of its already soft core, minimizes driver spin for increased distance, softer feel, and enhanced greenside spin. It is offered in white and yellow colour options. 

The Z-STAR XV features added firmness partway through the core, and boosts ball speed for greater distance and improved iron spin. It is offered in white and yellow colour options.

The Z-STAR DIAMOND, with its slightly firmer core and reduced compression, minimizes driver spin, resulting in exceptional distance off the tee while maintaining greenside spin. 

Also included in the Z-STAR Series is the DIVIDE model. Offering unmatched visibility on the course, the distinctive two-tone yellow/white design of this ball, known as 50/50 Visual Performance, allows golfers to see the game from a whole new perspective. Despite their unique colour design, DIVIDE balls incorporate the same tour-calibre feel, speed, and distance technology found in the other three Z-STAR models. 

Joe Miller, Srixon Europe, Product Manager, said: “This generation’s unique cover and stronger coating help improve the spin performance specific to each ball, while our team has improved distance and control to provide golfers purer performance from tee to green.”

RRP: £48.99 for 12
