___________________________________________

Unless you’ve been living under a rock—and by that we don’t mean a Top Flite 2000—the past two weeks, you have no doubt seen the results of the most detailed in-depth ball study ever conducted published by My Golf Spy last week.  Read it Here

So were you able to determine what ball might be best for you out of the results? Well MGS along with Srixon is going to give four My Golf Spy Forum members a chance to test two of the top performers of the study themselves and see what their results show.

Testers Wanted

Srixon has gained great ground in the balls wars over the last five years. Increasing its presence on professional tours across the world, and making its way into the bags of everyday golfers, by way of Srixon’s very popular ball demo days at green grass shops.

Offering two models the Z Star and Z Star XV you will get one dozen of each to play and practice with and report back to the forum with your findings.

The Z Star is in its 6^th generation and provides maximum green-side spin for unmatched control and stopping power. It’s 3-piece construction gives players complete tour performance tee to green.

While the Z Star XV also in its 6^th generation is a premium 4-piece ball that provides maximum distance and gives players complete tour performance tee to green.

Golf Spys, ball testing is a really awesome experience not to be overlooked! No it's not a new set of clubs or a driver.. but that's not what it's about. We're just wrapping up the Bridgestone e12 review and as a MGS, and a golf fanatic/nerd, the ability to be a part of a process that could potentially influence a major manufacturer to make improvements on a product is very rewarding. Believe me, OEM's know who we are and are taking us very seriously!

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

"spinskin"... immediately made me think of "sharkskin" fly line .  Should be a fun ball to test.  Good luck spies!

I've played the Z Star for a couple years now!  Can't wait to hear what others think as well!

[jlukes 12,692]

Considering I have 7 dozen new zstar XVs, I'll be sitting the sign up out but looking forward to following along with the testing and posting my thoughts in the testing thread once it gets going. 

I love this ball 

[McaseyM 1,689]

been playing the srixon Q star tour since i got my Cleveland bag and do love it. Haven't tried many of these, but i also don't get a play enough to tell anyone the difference. good luck to the lucky chosen!!

[GB13 7,773]

This'll be a great test! Srixon performed admirably in the MGS ball test, so you'll be assured you'll be testing a great ball. I've tried these and they don't fit me great, but I'm sure they'll be great for y'all!

I narrowed my choices down to the Bridgestone B X and the Srixon Z Star. Now that this test will be coming out might have to hold off on making my final choice. Good luck to the testers, golf ball testing is fun so enjoy!
