They are the ball manufacturer of choice for the 2021 Masters winners Hideki Matsuyama, the 2019 Open champion Shane Lowry and also the five-time major winner Brooks Koepka.
But which high performance Srixon ball should you use?
Let's compare and contrast the Z-STAR and the Z-STAR XV.
Construction
The Z-STAR: It has a premium 3-piece construction to give leading players complete Tour performance, from tee to green. The Z-Star provides maximum greenside spin for unmatched control and stopping power.
The Z-STAR XV: It also has a premium 3-piece construction to give leading players that complete Tour performance, from tee to green. The difference is that the XV provides even more ball speed for enhanced driver and iron distance performance.
Core
Both balls feature an advanced (and new) Fastlayer core that has been constructed with an inner softer core formulation that gradually gets harder towards the outer edges. This new design gives the ball a softer feel and generates more ball speed for long-distance performance.
Coating
Both balls feature a new Spin Skin+ which is a durable coating with flexible molecular bonds that reacts deeply with wedge and iron grooves, maximizing spin for better control and stopping power.
Dimple pattern
Both balls have a 338 Speed Dimple pattern. This aerodynamic pattern helps to reduce drag for a more penetrating ball flight, to give extra distance on full shots even in windy conditions.
The difference?
The Z-STAR: This is the ball if you want long distance, high greenside spin and a lower penetrating trajectory.
The Z-STAR XV: This the choice if you're after longer distance, high greenside spin and a mid-high trajectory.
