Srixon Q-Star Golf Balls Design & Features

If you feel like it’s the shots that are close to the green that are hurting you the most, then the Q-Star is a premium golf ball that helps you find the control that you are looking for.

The Q-Star features a Fastlayer core with more give for distance, and a compression of 72 – making it an ideal selection for golfers craving a softer ball than Srixon’s premium Z-Star ball.

SpinSkin and the SeRM technology also help maximise performance and improve your greenside game and add to the soft feel of this tour ball.

The ball features an Ionomer cover that Srixon have managed to make just 0.057″ in thickness to keep the Q-Star as soft as possible.

The outer shell exterior is designed to have the ability to ‘grasp’ the grooves of wedges or irons to put you in better control.

Available in Pure White or Tour Yellow colours options, the Q-Star Tours have a 338 dimple pattern for stability through the air in even the most extreme weather conditions.

Verdict: Are Srixon’s Q-Star Tour Golf Balls any good?

If you like to play a softer golf ball and enjoy the feel they offer around the greens, then the Q-Star Tour is in the ballpark of compression you require.

At 72 compression this isn’t an extremely soft ball like the Callaway Supersoft for example. It offers plenty of distance too, but with the addition of the benefits a softer ball offers around the greens.

The expected greenside impact of this ball on your game means that consistency and accuracy on chipping, pitching, and less-than-100-yard approach shots should improve.
