xxio Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I liked the ZURs. I just didn't like the seam that it had. The more you played it the more pronounced that seam got. Back to the Z-Star yellow. I find it interesting that the USGA conforming ball list has an orange one listed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 No dude, the ZURC and ZURS... I think the ZURS and the ZURC are tour level golf balls, they were just out before the Z Star. They no longer maker the ZURC or ZURS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted2Golf Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Here you go ZURS ZURC Thanks Nic. Well, based on my initial impressions of the Z-Star, it would play closer to the ZURC. Like I said earlier, firmness wise it feels very similar to the Nike One Black, which is what they are comparing the ZURC to in the description below: A multilayer, tour-winning golf ball for golfers seeking tour-proven distance and spin control with a solid feel. Designed for high initial velocity off the driver for incredible distance, this ball delivers outstanding greenside spin control without sacrificing velocity or distance off the tee. While it has a firmer compression core, the super-soft cover still provides responsive feel. How it Compares Compared to the Z-URS, the Z-URC has a firmer feel without sacrificing greenside control. The incredible distance comes from a high initial velocity because of the higher compression core. Compare With Titelist® Pro V1X Nike® One Black Callaway® HX® Tour Bridgestone® Tour B330® TaylorMade® TP® Black 3-Piece Construction • High-compression Energetic Gradient Growth Core • Ionomer mid-layer • Ultra-soft urethane elastomer cover ------------------------------------------------- I'd still want the lower ball flight of the Z-Star though if these didn't deliver on that (regardless of the discount).

I played the ZURS for most of last year, and have switched over to the ZSTARX. The ZSTAR is a full 10-15 yards longer for me. I don't think that it is quite as responsive around the greens, but I don't play those types of shots anyway....

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 10-15 yards is a lot. What's the ball flight like? Similar to the ZURS? A bit flatter and more piercing. Looks like it hits the ground and rolls out a bit better. Probably the decent angle.

NGage Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Kind of like a vulture? I prefer to look at it as me being their savior.....saving them...and faithfully and knowingly using them for their intended purpose. Otherwise, someone that doesn't know better will buy them thinking they are range balls....and use them as lowly RockFlights -- hitting them off into a field somewhere, or into a pond.
