Srixon Z-Star Diamond — frequently asked
What is the compression of the Srixon Z-Star Diamond?
The Srixon Z-Star Diamond has a compression rating of 95. 95 is firm — designed for fast swing speeds (105+ mph driver). On slower swings it will feel hard and underperform a softer ball.
Is the Srixon Z-Star Diamond a tour ball?
Yes. The Z-Star Diamond is a tour-tier ball — 4-piece construction with a Urethane cover for high greenside spin and full short-game control.
What swing speed is the Srixon Z-Star Diamond best for?
Best fit is driver swing speed above about 100 mph. At 95 compression the ball is firm enough to compress correctly only on faster swings.
Does the Srixon Z-Star Diamond spin a lot around the green?
Yes — the urethane cover grips the grooves of a wedge in a way that ionomer or Surlyn covers cannot. The Z-Star Diamond produces tour-level greenside spin (typically 9,000 to 11,000 wedge rpm), which is what allows pros to stop the ball quickly on firm greens.
How much does the Srixon Z-Star Diamond cost?
MSRP is $50.00 per dozen. That is in line with flagship tour-ball pricing.
Which pros play the Srixon Z-Star Diamond?
Brooks Koepka, Cameron Champ are publicly known to play (or have played) the Z-Star Diamond. 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.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the Srixon Z-Star Diamond?
Amazon is consistently the lowest sticker price for the Z-Star Diamond, typically 10 to 20 percent below $50.00 MSRP once you factor in multi-dozen discounts. Pro shops and big-box retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's, Golf Galaxy) usually charge full retail unless they're running an end-of-season sale. Srixon.com itself charges full MSRP but sometimes offers free personalization, which Amazon does not. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new but ball condition varies.
