SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted February 11, 2015 SPY VIP Share Posted February 11, 2015 Received a package in the mail today: http://flic.kr/p/qcfXty Everyone should post the actual box the balls came in. I didn't have much in the way of small(ish) box inventory in the house, so some guys got boxes bigger than they needed to be for 1 dozen balls. FedEx probably thinks I'm insane.

I didn't have much in the way of small(ish) box inventory in the house, so some guys got boxes bigger than they needed to be for 1 dozen balls. FedEx probably thinks I'm insane. I'm trying! But I cannot figure out how to get the photos from Flickr into the post. I'm striking out with everything I am doing (they are set to public in Flickr). Help! EDIT - I can get the photo to link, but it is showing the BBCode in the background. Anyway to get rid of this?

I didn't have much in the way of small(ish) box inventory in the house, so some guys got boxes bigger than they needed to be for 1 dozen balls. FedEx probably thinks I'm insane. I think you could have fit a good 8 dozen balls in my box. I was super excited there for a minute!

Damon Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ok - quick initial impressions, and test 1. Most comparisons I make will be to the Callaway Hex Black ball. Quick Impressions: I like the color. It is white whereas the Callaway has a bit of grey to it. The cover feels a bit slick to me. I was expecting something a bit tackier if that makes sense. The last ball I played that had a similar feel was the Top Flight Tour v2. I don't know if it was the cover, or whatever - but I crushed my irons with that ball - a good club longer than any other ball. Bedroom Carpet Putt Test: I used a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.6 putter. The Srixon has a softer/more solid feel than the Callaway. If feels "heavier" if that makes sense. The Callaway seems to pop off the face a bit, whereas the Srixon seems to hang on the club face and roll off. As for sound, the Srixon has a deeper tone. I'm sure this has something to do with the feel. Overall, I really like the feel/sound off the putter. Next, I'll head to the chipping and putting green. Let me know if you have any testing requests/suggestions.

mr_divots Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I thought the box Srixon sent me was large! Well done! LOL! The sleeves tend to get a little mooshed, but I've sent stuff like this out before in padded mailing envelopes, or USPS flat rate boxes. But the proto sleeves are cool. Don't wanna crush those!

mr_divots Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Was rolling these on the Big Moss green last night with some '13 PV1 and PV1x. Boy, the Z-stars feel NICE off the blade. So soft. ZSx is close, but just a tad firmer feeling. Both felt nicer than the PV1 or PV1x. If the Z745 irons work out, I very well could be all Srixon/Cleveland this year. Wow. Funny thing: I've had the same balls downstairs for some time to practice with. I didn't realize I had worn the covers off of them so much. My putting felt so much better with the new balls. LOL!

Sluggo42 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Played my first round with the new balls, and let me just say, it will be worth reading the reviews when done. Let's just say I look at Srixon Z Star balls a little differently now...
