The Z-STAR delivers maximum greenside spin for unmatched control and stopping power. Its premium 3-piece construction gives skilled players complete tour performance from tee to green — combining explosive distance off the driver with the soft, precise feel demanded by the most discerning shot-makers. The vibrant Tour Yellow colour offers outstanding visibility in all light conditions, making it the ideal choice for golfers who refuse to compromise on performance or playability.
The traditional dilemma in golf ball engineering has always been that hard cores produce speed while soft cores produce feel — and you had to choose one or the other. Srixon's FastLayer DG Core 2.0 resolves this conflict entirely. The newly formulated core starts soft at its very centre and gradually becomes firm toward its outer edge, creating a gradient compression profile unlike a conventional fixed-density core. A proprietary heat treatment is applied during manufacturing, effectively baking speed into the outer portions of the core while leaving the inside satisfyingly soft. The result is a ball that rebounds quicker off the clubface for exceptional distance, yet still delivers the buttery feel at impact that builds confidence under pressure. Crucially, the transition from soft to firm happens gradually — giving you consistent performance shot-to-shot and club-to-club throughout the entire round.
On top of the Z-STAR's already premium extra-thin thermoplastic urethane cover, Srixon adds the Spin Skin+ coating — a micro-engineered layer of specialized urethane only a few microns thick. The secret is Slide-Ring Material (SeRM), a molecular structure featuring strengthened cross-links that stretch and bend without breaking upon impact. This creates a malleable surface that digs deep into wedge and iron grooves at the moment of contact, dramatically increasing the friction between clubface and ball. The practical outcome is maximum greenside spin on chips, pitches, and approach shots, translating into tour-level stopping power and braking force on the green. The reengineered cover is also more elastic than its predecessor, providing even more bite at impact and greater spin when hitting into greens from distance.
Every Z-STAR features 338 precisely engineered Speed Dimples, each designed with deeper dimensions to interact optimally with airflow at tour-level ball speeds. At launch, the dimples punch through air resistance to produce a penetrating trajectory that carries further downrange. Once the ball is aloft, the dimple geometry generates sustained lift, driving the ball upward toward its peak height and maximising glide distance during the descent phase. In challenging wind conditions, the Speed Dimples' low drag coefficient helps the ball slice cleanly through moving air, keeping it on-target and on-line regardless of crosswinds or headwinds. The net effect is a ball flight that is simultaneously long, straight, and stable — the aerodynamic foundation upon which all other Z-STAR performance attributes are built.
The Z-STAR's extra-thin, thermoplastic urethane cover is the cornerstone of its tour-level short-game performance. Urethane is the material of choice for professional and elite amateur golfers because it provides a uniquely responsive feel at impact that ionomer covers simply cannot replicate. Srixon's cover formulation is engineered to be elastic and durable simultaneously — resisting abrasion across a full round of golf while maintaining its spin-generating characteristics shot after shot. The thin profile of the cover ensures that energy transfer from the core to the ball flight is efficient, complementing the FastLayer DG Core's speed without dampening it. Around the greens, the cover works in concert with Spin Skin+ to deliver the maximum possible stopping power — the hallmark performance trait that defines the Z-STAR within the Srixon lineup.
