Srixon Z-Star XV Performance Notes
Distance is Z-Star XV's calling card, where it beats about two-thirds of the 43 balls we tested for 2026, with 243.0 total. It delivers one of the most neutral ball flights of our entire field, with mid spin through the bag, from driver to 50-yard wedge, and a mid to low launch across the board as well.
Stopping power, wedge control, and accuracy rankings in bottom half, paired with a $54 a dozen asking price, add up to one of the weaker value scores in our test.
