Srixon Z-Star Performance Notes

The Srixon Z-Star turned in one of the best all-around performances in our 2026 testing, finishing tied for 4th out of 43 balls. 

It’s one of the few balls we tested that showed no real weaknesses. Distance ranks in the top 20% at 245.0 total yards in our driver test. Stopping power – technically Z-Star’s weakest attribute – still beat two-thirds of the balls we tested. And, it was in the top 10 of all balls we tested around the greens.
