5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Ball, green grabbing, long distance and soft feel
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017
Bought these for my husband, here is his review:
Tested these balls in a 30-100 yds area, together with some other premium balls (titlest pro v1, bridgestone b330s, and even Srixon Z star and Z star VX previous gen). Am a 16 handicap working on my short game as I have access to a driving range with a good chipping area. My summary is the following:
Screen grabbing is excellent. I can chip it low flight , and medium flight and they will spin very nicely in the 30-100 yard range, very similar results to the pro v1.
They have a soft feel similar to the pro v1, which I like very much
The color is a bright white, much nicer to me than the pro v1, that tends to go off white as the time passes
Putting them is the same feel as the pro v1. They come with the Alignment line (<- Z Star ->) as most balls do now, which I use to line up the break at the green. I tested their balance making them float in salted water and the 3 I checked were perfectly balanced which means I don't have to worry about erratic behavior when putting.
I also like the dimple pattern, for some reason visually the ball looks "bigger" than the titlest, I think is the effect of the bright white color and the dimple pattern.
The one last thing I like is that since they are not as commonly used where I tend to play as the other ones, is easier to just say "am playing srixon" instead of "am playing titleist 33", and even get away with nor marking the ball at all.
In general, the new one has a very similar feel and behaviour to the previous generation Z Star which I also like quite a bit. These are premium quality balls with a lower price than the other in theri category. Definitely recommended
