Having enjoyed great success with its two-piece balls in recent years, Srixon has leapt into the three-piece market with its Z-Star and Z-Star X, new for 2009. The 104-compression Z-Star X is designed to provide ‘Tour performance' characteristics such as explosive distance and high spin around the greens, whereas the 90-compression Z-Star is designed to provide ‘optimum distance, spin control and soft feel' for the mid-to-low handicapper.
