Information About Srixon Golf Balls
Srixon golf balls have established themselves at the highest levels of professional play. Staff players like Jim Fuyrk have been using the balls to win major championships for years. The full Srixon line is designed for golfers of all abilities, whether you're an amateur looking for distance or an accomplished player looking for a more responsive ball.

History

A division of Sumitomo Rubber Industries--a Japanese manufacturing company specializing in tires, sporting goods and industrial products--Srixon has been making golf equipment for 70 years. The Srixon brand was established in 1997, with Cleveland Golf and Never Compromise joining the SRI brand in 2007. Since 1989 SRI has made balls that have won more than 75 PGA titles.

Z Star and Z Star X

The Z Star and Z Star X are the flagship balls in the Srixon line. Recommended for more skilled players, these three-piece balls earned their name for their emphasis on spin, trajectory, acceleration and responsiveness. Jim Furyk uses the Z Star on the PGA Tour by Jim Furyk, and the ball compares to the Nike One Tour, Titleist Pro V1 and the Bridgestone Tour B330S.

Trispeed

The Trispeed is a three-piece ball with a mid price point. Srixon promotes high ball speed and a low compression core for more distance off the driver with a soft feel around the greens. The Trispeed compares to the Titleist NXT Tour, Callaway HX Hot and the Bridgestone E6.

AD333

The AD333 promotes distance, high launch and playability. With a new core construction this two-piece ball maintains Srixon's commitment to soft feel and low compression. The AD333 targets slower swingers and compares to the Titleist DT Solo and NXT line, Bridgestone E5 and Precept Laddie Extreme.

Soft Feel

The Soft Feel is a two-piece ball targeting slow swing speeds with low driver spin and high flight to add distance for shorter hitters. Srixon tries to marry driver distance with soft feel for slow swing speeds, the Soft Feel compares to the Callaway Big Bertha, Titleist DT, Nike Juice and Precept XP3.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie.
