Srixon-Z-STAR-2015-1

January 27, 2015 – The company Srixon Sports Europe Ltd has announced the release of the new Srixon Z-STAR premium golf ball range, promising golfers long-hitting performance, increase spin around the greens and a ball that conquers the wind.

Featuring Srixon’s most advanced ball technology to date, the new Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV feature a number of key technical advancements to improve upon its predecessors, in the shape of the newly developed Speed Dimple Pattern, enhanced Spin Skin, new Energetic Gradient Growth Core and a super soft urethane cover for an even softer feel.

KEY FEATURES OF THE NEW SRIXON Z-STAR SERIES

1. The high initial velocity, high launch angle, and low spin create a powerful trajectory that conquers the wind, for longer distance, and are primarily achieved through two factors.

a) New 324 Speed Dimple Pattern: The new 324 Speed Dimple Pattern features a more uniform surface area for lower aerodynamic resistance. This results in even more airflow around the ball during flight, giving the Z-STAR and Z-STAR XV a powerful trajectory with longer distance.

b) New Energetic Gradient Growth (E.G.G.) Core: Designed in pursuit of high launch and low spin performance the new Srixon Z-STAR features a new super-soft E.G.G. large-diameter core. This affords golfers a greater contrast between the hard outer region and soft inner than the previous model, meaning higher launch angles and lower spin rates are produced from the tee, while crucially still maintaining the new Z-STAR’s soft feel.

In the new Srixon Z-STAR XV, a newly developed, high-resistance Ionomer ultra-thin mid-layer has been added. This increases mid-layer hardness, further improving the contrast between the hard outer and soft inner for high launch angles and low spin, resulting in a firmer feel and even more distance than the Z-STAR.

2. The newly developed coating and urethane cover deliver softer feel and stable spin performance. Srixon’s new Spin Skin coating is now 21% softer than the previous model. This, combined with the 7% softer ultra-thin, super-soft neo-urethane cover, gives golfers a 25% increase in interaction with clubface on impact than the previous model to offer a softer feel and consistent spin performance.
