Srixon launches its latest Z-STAR golf ball.

When it comes to producing golf balls, the usual goals are to get them off the tee faster and spin more on the greens. But what’s often overlooked is the durability of a golf ball and how many rounds it can last (assuming you don’t lose it, of course).
Srixon’s new Z-STAR Series Tour-grade golf balls are the ninth generation of the popular series and meet all three requirements with new core and cover technology.
Here are four things to know about the new Z-STAR, Z-STAR XV and Z-STAR Diamond golf balls.
FastLayer DG Core 2.0
Srixon
The ninth generation Z-STAR series adopts a new formula FastLayer DG Core 2.0. The previous generation of Z-STAR golf balls introduced FastLayer technology, allowing Srixon to create a core that becomes progressively stiffer from the center outward. By doing this, Srixon created a golf ball that maintains a soft feel while still producing high distance.
With FastLayer DG Core 2.0, increased stiffness allows for optimal evolution in each of the three models, creating more differentiation between options.
Three models and three colors to choose from
The Srixon Z-STAR once again offers players three different performance options, but depending on the model of golf ball, there will also be three optical options.
standard Zhengxing The golf ball has a softer center core that produces the softest feel at impact and has the lowest compression (88) in the series. Z-STAR produces a mid-range flight path while delivering maximum greenside spin but still reducing driver spin.
on the other side, Z-STAR XVLast week’s Sentry winner Hideki Matsuyama’s selection adds stiffness to the core, creating the highest compression ball in the family for maximum distance. The XV will also produce the highest iron spin.
Returning to the lineup after the launch of the previous generation is Z-STAR DiamondBrooks Koepka’s ball of choice. The Diamond Ball is the Goldilocks of the family, offering the best of both worlds in terms of distance off the tee and greenside spin.
Available on both Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV pure white, Tour yellow A 50/50 split is called divide Launching in 2023.

“Divide is a game changer for visual players who love to track their ball in the air and around the green,” Jeff Brunski, Srixon’s vice president of research and development, said in a press release. The yellow/white contrast creates a spin strobe effect, allowing golfers to easily measure the spin rate of their wedges. When you add 360° seam lines to the green for better alignment and roll, these balls enhance consistency in the most important areas of the game.
New Biomass Cover and Spin Skin+
For the latest Z-STAR range, Srixon has developed a new ultra-thin polyurethane covering made from biomass material.
“Our approach to this generation of the Z-STAR series was to produce a more durable ball without compromising performance,” Brunski said. “This generation’s unique cover and stronger coating help improve every ball’s spin performance, while our team improves distance and control to give golfers a purer shot from tee to green. performance.
The company says the new shell is “designed to withstand all conditions faced on the course,” meaning it can maintain performance for multiple rounds of use.

Srixon also applied Spin Skin+ The coating is an additional thin layer of polyurethane used to increase friction and therefore spin around the green. The new balls also feature a tougher polyurethane coating designed to resist dirt and grime.
Price and availability
All Z-STAR models (Z-STAR, Z-STAR XV and Z-STAR Diamond) in Pure White, Tour Yellow and Divide (Z-STAR and XV only) will be January 24 for $49.99.
