Official Forum Member Review - Srixon Q STAR Tour 3-Piece Golf Balls

[golfinnut]

Ok, so I skimmed a little through all your reviews. First great job. Second I was mostly focussed on durability because on a golf trip in June I found a QStar and played it. It seemed great. I figured I give them a try. I bought some and the durability didn't seem the same as the one I found. After one shot I took with my 9 iron, I found pieces of the ball in the grooves. Up till then this ball had only gotten wet from the grass. So I was disappointed. Your reviews seemed to like the durability. No one had any similar problem like mine?

You still using the illegal square grooves?  LOL  

 

I haven't had this experience either.  Just marks from cart paths, which every ball is going to do.

I actually purchased this ball from my local pro shop to try at the beginning of the year.  They were having a sale trying to introduce their new products for this year, 6 balls for $10.  I normally play the Z-Star XV as I perform the best when my swing speed for my driver stays right around 108.  I thought that with it being a little colder out still I would give this a shot.  I wasn't disappointed!  The ball performed just as I wanted it with it being a little colder out at the beginning of the season.  I was seeing nice grab around the green.  Putting felt great and it felt good off the driver.  Once it started to warm up, I noticed that I was losing a bit of distance on it.  I ended up switching back to the Z-Star XV.  I do really feel like Srixon tapped into a market for slower swing speeds looking for that tour quality.  I

I had great experience with durability. Unlike a few times I have used prov's and scraped them with my wedges these held up great. Only scuffs came from something that warranted it (path, railroad equipment etc)

Thanks for the write ups, guys! I'm really interested in these, the price is just so good on them. I have an opportunity to get 6 dozen for $100 which is a great deal but not if they are balls I don't want to play. So, here's my question; do they really compare to a tour ball? I saw some guys saying they are designed for slower swing speeds? Is this the case or are they ok for someone in the 105-110mph range?

[Brian A]

Thats about my swing speed and honestly will be switching to these next season full time

I think you just sold 6 dozen golf balls for Srixon, commission check should be in the mail!    Thanks again for the reviews, without them, I think I would have settled for tried and true/less value.

Is this a deal somewhere, where others can get it? If so mind sharing?

Haha, sorry man, I was just kidding around! I don't think we get to be Srixon sales reps!

My swing speed is right there and I've switched to gaming these. These are easier to compress for sure but I wouldn't say for "slow swing speeds" just not tour level. I for one don't lose distance and do not feel like the ball is too soft.

Haha, I mean the 6 Doz for $100, because thats an awesome deal!

Ok I'm a huge fan of these now!  I bought a dozen a couple weeks back and have been putting one in play now and then.   I love the feel and distance off the tee and these puppies bite like they're after the mailman. There were two approach shots today where the ball even hopped backwards a couple or so feet.  I was thinking dayuuuuuummmm  my old arse spun em back!   That's pretty much a kin to me eating a cannon ball melon in one sitting.

My swing speed is right in the same range and i've tried a sample sleeve from Newballcoach and i have to say they are a nice ball. I do see a little bit of distance loss vs my usual Project A's and the Vice Pro's that i'm currently testing, but durability wise they are excellent and the spin in the green is great too.

I swing around the same speed. You will be fine driving the ball. IMO when I tested these, the spin does not compare to a tour ball. I would call it a tourISH ball, where you will get some characteristics of a tour ball but you won't get the very high spin numbers of the best balls. Like I said in my review, it's a good ball, but not tour-level

When I found the first one, I did not have this problem either. It's possible, one of the new one I bought got scuffed and had some skin hanging off and a little wet conditions, it got wedged in the grooves or I'm just a powerfull beast and killed the cover off. But, I'm betting it's the former, not the latter.

Have to add another pro to this ball. Had a terrible ball striking round the other day and our group wanted to play 18 more. I'd already lost a few Chrome Softs so I decided to game the QST ''I've only lost 2 since I got them". Ball striking was still terrible but the QST was at least staying in play. Shot 90 the first round with the CS and shot 83 with the QST. As bad as my swing was that day, the ball definitely helped me score better.

 

"Oh and I didn't lose a QST that day either 😉"

Love the feel of this ball off every club in the bag.  Irons are crisp, driver is great .... but off the putter is where this ball shines for me.  It has given me the utmost confidence in my putting.  I have averaged putts per round the last 3 rounds I have played with it.  26, 28, 26 .... draining putts from everywhere.  And the one's I miss are not far off either.  A lot of lip outs.  It just seems to hold it's line really well ... no wobbling.  I haven't done anything different in my setup or stroke either ... that's what's strange.  I'm definitely not complaining.  This ball will definitely be in my bag for quite some time.

Thanks again to MGS for introducing me to it & allowing me to put in play for review.  Srixon made a great ball!

The q star in action once again

 

It backs up nice and feels so good off the face

After giving this ball a second chance, I may have to revise my review. I have finally figured out pitching, chipping and putting with this ball and will be seriously considering purchasing another dozen soon...

Dude you'd be tearing it up if you could get rid of those Doubles!

Doubles are the bane of my existence...

Best round I ever shot was a 74 last year, while very impressive for me, it also included 2 doubles 😂

See ... like I said, get rid of those doubles and it's an under par round.

Gotta give you some" crap" since I have not talked to you in a while.I see you finally got you some golf clubs with the Apex CF 16s and other Callaway equipment.  I did a blue print on my Cally 2013 forged x irons and they are fixing to go back in the front line bag. 

 

One question I have for you and anyone else. From the pics the ball appears to have some funky dimples sorta like some of the Asian Titleists I got hold of a while back. I have not seen any of these in person so maybe it is just how they look on the screen. In the past I had some durability issues with the old Z Stars as far as peeling on the wedges and short irons. At the time I was doing R&D for Championship Golf LLC with the Infiniti line of equipment and had a set of prototype TS-10 forged CBs which I was informed was conforming. Now I did play the Soft Feels for about a year and never had any durability issues. Like you I lost a lot of weight and got to turning through the ball and my SS actually increased. Ended up losing distance with the Soft Feels and went back to the Pro V.

As far as the dimples go I haven't seen anything funky going on. As mentioned before the durability is pretty good. I know what you're talking about with the z-stars in the past I've had a few peel but the QST hasn't done that to me yet. On the few QST's I have had peel it's been because I hit them into a tree. The cool thing is it hasn't affected performance one bit. The ball still does what it is meant to with a scrape here and there. My swing speed is somewhat fast and this is by far the best distance ball for me. Just my .02 hope it helps.
