Srixon Z-UR Golf Ball Review

Anyone tried these. One of the local pro shops does ball fitting out here. He fit me for a ball and this is the ball that came out. i tried a box and I love them. Distance off the tee was about the same, but bad swings did not produce the wild slice I usually get. Distance and feel off the irons was very good. Short irons stuck to the greens better than the Precept Powerdive I was playing. $15 a dozen more than the Precept's though.

I tried some a few days ago and fell in love with them. Just a bit cheaper than ProV1*'s and I think they're just a little longer than them as well. I'm gonna get some more and give them a try tomorrow hopefully. Simp

I am a ProV1x player usually. I picked up 72 mint Z-URs for $100 on eBay. 1st round with them today. I was looking for something that spun less than the ProV1x (just slightly) was cheaper, and provided the same distance.

These fit the bill. For the record, I have an above average swing speed (112mph). My handicap is 6.5.

This ball appears to fly a little farther than the ProV1x with the driver. With the irons, it seemed to be the same. I'd say they do spin slightly less than the ProV1x, and the ball seemed to stop on the green about where it landed with the short irons. I cannot play regular ProV1s at all as they seem to spin far too much (like 30+ feet back with a full SW), and other times they act "normal". I'm sure I am not good enough to control the spin rate on the ball, but I can't deal with another good shot turing to poop when it backs up way too far.

The ball appears to be somewhat durable, not getting terribly scuffed even when hitting the cart path. I'd say 1 ball will last a round. Overall, I am happy with the ball and will continue to play it. The only draw back was it was hard to get a lot of spin on the ball on chips, but I usually don't depend on that anyway.

I also got a few Z-URS in my eBay purchase bag. I will give these a shot too, maybe when it gets warmer.

Well, I played with the ZUR's again today. I can firmly attest that these balls are a little longer off of the driver than my regular ProV1*'s. I can't say that it's a lot longer but it's probably 10-15 yards longer. Off of the irons, they play the same for me as far as I can tell. It was cold here today so the ball was flying about a club less than usual so I won't know about the irons until Feb. I'll be going with the crew to Palm Springs then. Simp
