Srixon is now into its ninth generation of Z-Star and for 2025, the brand has made some fairly significant changes to the design and more importantly the materials used in this premium ball that golfers should be able to notice in terms of performance ramifications.
The three-piece Z-Star has always been the softer-feeling ball within its premium line up and that mantra hasn’t changed. New for this iteration, however, is a reformulated FastLayer DG Core 2.0, which starts soft at the center and gradually firming from the inside out for optimum spin and distance output. There’s also a Spin Skin+ coating that increases the cover’s friction for added greenside spin. The use of a stronger urethane paint in this generation also helps improve resistance to dirt and grime.
