Srixon unveils its softest tournament-level ball ever with the new Q-Star tournament

Srixon’s new Q-Star Tour golf balls are not only faster and smoother than the previous generation, they are also smarter.

The latest iteration features a new thin premium urethane cover made with Biomass, which the company says helps reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process without sacrificing performance. The same covering material is used in Z-Star formation.

“The Q-Star Tour Series is all about delivering tour-level spin and control, especially around the greens, but in a lower compression design that better accommodates a wide range of swing speeds,” Srixon Vice President of Business Planning Brian Schielke said in a release. “It gives golfers the performance they want off the tee on the green without needing tournament-level swing speed to unlock it. And with the latest innovations plus bold new Divide color options, it’s a ball that not only performs at a high level, but stands out while doing it.”

Biomass is a plant-based material that can be used to replace petroleum-based materials in urethane to create a coating indistinguishable from that made with fossil fuels.

The new Q-Star tourer also has a new FastLayer core that gradually gets stronger from the outer center. This helps produce longer, straighter shots with low pitch clubs while maintaining a soft and responsive feel with irons and wedges.

The result is what Srixon calls it his softest Tour-level golf ball.

The Q-Star Tour also features a Spin Skin+ coating that helps dig deep into a club’s holes for maximum friction.

Finally, the ball has a 338-speed dimpling pattern, which has been optimized to reduce drag and create a penetrating ball flight for maximum distance.
