Wedgie Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I wrapped up my 90th hole with the same ball today. I’m usually one round and done with any ball but after 18 this ball was in good shape so I kept it in play. The back up ball has been on the sidelines for 5 rounds. I’m playing 18 tomorrow and will play the Z Star again although it looks like maybe the seam is starting to show but might be hard to see. What’s that longest you’ve had the same ball in play?

HeathS16 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Let me be the first to say that I am major impressed with the condition of this fine Z-Star. I usually hit too many trees to keep them longer than 18...

00sportsman Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Wow. I usually can't get through 9 holes with the same ball, much less 90. That's pretty amazing durability.Sent from my XT1585 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Wedgie and HeathS16 2 Quote I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy I've begun retiring balls that survive one complete round of 18. Total so far is....one. Amazing that yours has survived so long and seems to be in pretty darn good shape to boot. Reminds me of that famous line Danny Glover always used from the "Lethal weapon" series... Aaaannnnd, there is always the famous cop movie line that usually goes something like; "Damn! And I only had 5 more days until retirement…" Have mercy and put that one on a wall somewhere... fixyurdivot and Wedgie 2 Quote In my DLX Cart Bag: Driver: G410 SFT, set to 9.5*, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 60, stiff (MGS Official 2019 Tester) 3W: G-Series SF TEC, set to 16*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 5W: G400 SFT, set to 19*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 7W: G410 SFT, set to 22*.

perseveringgolfer Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'm seriously considering switching to the Z star from the Prov1. I pulled a new Prov1 out the sleeve today for a comp, after 5 holes it looked like the oldest ball on the green in my 3 ball group. It doesnt stay white and it felt too soft as well. I remember my last Z star I played lasted 2 rounds and still looked good. Need to see if my pro will let me swap a dozen Prov1's for Z stars.

I agree with every comp I start with a new ball, but in a bounce game if it looks pristine I'll use it.

CFrazier Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I played a Nike RZN Black for 72 holes and retired it then. It was still in pretty good shape, but I’d never played a single ball that long and figured I’d keep it for nostalgia. The ZStars are great balls!

Berg Ryman Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 2 years ago I had a Srixon Z-Star XV I fished out of the used ball bin for a buck because it was in perfect shape. Played that sucker until I lost it, some 4+ rounds later, think I got around 85 holes out of it. What sucks worse, lost it in an embedded situation after a lot of rain, not because of a pond or woods.

fixyurdivot Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I usually just grab/play whichever ball comes out of the pocket. I would venture to guess a fairly good portion of them have some healthy miles racked up on their odometers. I haven't put a brand new, straight out of the sleeve, ball into my bag in a long time. As those in the top pocket get too scuffed, they get moved to the "water ball", "I don't have a prayer of clearing that canyon" pocket . juspoole 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_Mac Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Put an XV into play just today and caught two hard bounces on a cart path. So already it doesn't look nearly as good as your enduro-ball.But post scuff, I kept it in play and managed to birdie 3 of the next 4 holes (including hole where scuff was incurred).They sure are resilient.
