Srixon Z-Star — frequently asked
What is the compression of the Srixon Z-Star?
Stymie's catalog records the Srixon Z-Star at 90 compression. 90 sits on the firmer end of Stymie's current directory. Manufacturers may use different compression tests, so compare cross-brand values directionally.
Is the Srixon Z-Star a tour ball?
Yes. The Z-Star is a tour-tier ball — 3-piece construction with a Urethane cover for high greenside spin and full short-game control.
What swing speed is the Srixon Z-Star best for?
A 90 compression rating does not establish one required driver speed. Use it as a relative feel reference, then compare the Z-Star's cover, construction, flight and spin positioning; Srixon positions this model for players who want a tour-level ball with above-average greenside spin. On-course or launch-monitor testing is the best final check.
Does the Srixon Z-Star spin a lot around the green?
The Z-Star's urethane cover is the construction used by tour-tier balls that prioritize greenside spin and control. Actual wedge spin depends on club delivery, strike, loft, grooves, ball condition and test setup, so Stymie does not assign an unsupported RPM range to this model.
How much does the Srixon Z-Star cost?
MSRP is $45.00 per dozen. That is in line with flagship tour-ball pricing.
Which pros play the Srixon Z-Star?
Hideki Matsuyama, Sepp Straka, J.J. Spaun are publicly known to play (or have played) the Z-Star. Pro ball deals shift every season, so treat this as a list of past or present endorsements — not a guarantee any specific player is using it on tour today.
