Tried mine today around the green against a Chrome Soft and a Z Star XV. Was definitely harder than the Chrome Soft and fairly similar to the XV. Seemed to produce more spin on different shots around the green. I felt like I could get this ball to check more than the Chrome Soft and a bit more than the XV when I needed/wanted to. Reminded me of a TP5 in terms of how it reacted around the green, not the same feel though. Still trying to process that, but I was able to do things with the Zero that I was able to do with the TP5. Taking it out on the course tomorrow. Hopefully they don't spin out of control for me on full shots. It was the problem I had with the TP5 and ended up re-homing those balls :-).
