I love the fact that you show the dispersion differences instead of just showing the average, it makes it so much more informative that way.
Been saying similar for ages. Averages are useless with standard deviations.
Omg!!!! Finally after years and years, somebody got a ball test done right!!! Well done Mr. Crossfield!!!! Excellent video and perspectives
You gotta check out golf spy to see their ball tests. Really impressive.
Just switched to the srixon soft feel (precisely 2 rounds ago after lockdown). Best golf I’ve played and gives me massive confidence. Plus the price point helps the pocket. Keep up the great work Mark 🏌🏼♂️⛳️
Where do you buy them? My friend just got into golf more last year and I sent him to golfdiscount.com, you can buy a dozen for 10 bucks there when they’re on sale, they sell them in 6 packs for 4.99..I game the xv’s, I’ve been golfing for awhile and when the xv’s and z’s are on sale on, they’re 9.99 for a six pack, so 20 a dozen..can’t beat those prices..the q stars are like 6.99 or something..crazy good deals
Srixon Soft feel compression is 60. Q Star is listed at 72. For a 75-year-old man with lower swing speed - I'm torn between the two. You did say a couple times the Q Star was close in soft feel to the cheaper ball. The numbers bear that out. (I've played Titleist all my life).
*UPDATE: I've watched this now a second time and the 72 compression Q Star Tour stands out to me.*
Being someone who is looking at the Srixon line and hasn't been able to decide between the budget friendlier Q-Star Tour and "holy crap if I lose one in the water I'll be pissed" Z-star, this is an awesome video. Still need to work on the game before the Z-Star investment happens, the Q-Star Tour looks like where I should start. Thank you Mark!!
The Soft Feel is the best ball for Senior golfers such as myself , low spin off the driver gives more distance and it spins enough of the irons to hold the green.
I switched this year from Callaway Supersoft to Srixon Soft Feel yellow. I'm hitting my irons 10 yards farther. Three dozen for $50 CDN. This was a great and timely review.
I just think for half the price and less sometimes, the soft feel is doing so well!
After trying higher end of Bridgestone and TM balls, I've come back to the Srixon Q Star Tour. Great value for money. I will play the Q Star for social games and save the better ball for comp days.
Your comment regarding different handicapped golfers would bring another element to a ball test.
Loaded up on on the Srixon Z Star XV’s when they were doing their buy one get one sale during Father’s Day. Came out to $20 a dozen! Cannot beat the value. I had been playing PRO V1, but I prefer the firmer feel and sound. Gives me the feeling the ball is jumping off the club face. Great tee to green performance, thanks to your review I found my new ball. Yellow of course.
Been gaming the Z-Star XV exclusively for 2 years. It really is a top quality ball.
Thanks Mark, I’ve used the soft feel in the past due to low spin rate but after watching this I’m looking at trying the Q Star👍
golf town has a great fathers day sale on today...50% off all srixon balls....max 4 dozen ( just do seperate orders and its unlimited ) got Q star tour for 19.97 CDN a dozen.....soft feel at 12.97 CDN.....Z star at 24.97 CDN.....great prices.....thought i would pass this on from CANADA...cheers all
Love the idea of doing one on “cheap” balls across brands
Would love to see Bridgestone full range test! Just started using the e12 speed and would love to know the spin difference compared to the premium models!
YES!
Bridgestone are the best balls I find
So glad to see a test for that Soft Feel.
The best and most effective review i have ever seen
Great test. I love the Z-Star XV. Played it for years..... In Canada is $15 less per dozen then the ProV1 and better ball in my opinion.
More of this please Mark, would like to see this exact test with a range of brands. Keep up this kind of test as it is more real world.
The one question you didn’t answer, is what balls perform best at different swing speeds. As an old golfer with slowing swing speed, that’s important to me. Love your site, watch it daily. Thanks.
Paul I regularly play with an older pal , 20yrs older infact he's 76 .
I got him to try the srixon soft feel they are a low compression ball we both noticed a gain in his yardage especially off the tee his average drive with any old ball he had found that was to hard for his speed to compress was 150 yards. With the soft feel it's 180yards with his best of 194yards I double checked it with my range finder..his smile was priceless!...hope this helps..stay safe.🏌️😜
I’d like to see a Bridgestone ball test. I’m thinking about switching to the Bridgestone tour b rxs and I’d like to get your opinion.
Would be interested to see the Bridgestone's tested aswell Mark \o
I play the Bridgestone and it feels great just as good as a TP5
I alternate between z star and tour b x, both great balls... I just find the Bridgestone balls scuff up quickly.
Class ball, shot 76 using it today, lots of spin, especially around the greens and is pretty durable
If your swing speed is slower these work extremely well.Have compared it to the XS and seem to get a little more out of my irons with the RX grouping. Still works well around the green
The best ballreview I've seen, very clever with the pictures of the dispersion of every ball, well done Mark Crossfield!
Loving the data presentation. So much more informative.
Interesting Mark. Tests on slower swing speeds please. 75 with 7 iron and 85 with driver must cover a lot of golfers ! Yes I am old lol
Been playing Srixon for years, still love the feel of the AD 333 ! One of the best allroundballs with a fantastic price point! Furthermore i love the Z Star, the normal one!
Chalk me up as another who would love to see this test applied across the various manufacturers offerings. Really enjoyed the format of this video. Thanks!!
im 20 handicap and fairly new to golf.I have been playing with soft feel for a while now and love it. best value golf ball out there. really consistent and perfect for people that lose a a few per round.
Would love to see the Wilson and Inesis range, in my experience there is some excellent value for money to be found there.
I switched to the ZStar when I heard the boys at TXG giving it good praise and using it as a default in the bay when I went. Not to mention the price in the US tends to be on the lower end for premium balls. It suits me and I love it. It tends to be a bit lower spin vs the TP5 or Prov1 and given my swing type that benefits me! Solid balls and nice test!
This really helps out a lot. I’m back into golf after a 10 year gap and the Soft Fell was the ball I found best for me getting back into golf. Now that I feel my game has improved looking into what the next level of ball to use reviews like this one really save me and others a lot of money and time. Thanks a ton for really breaking down the performance of each ball.
Swing looking brilliant. Love the fact your using the ten finger grip. Recently gone to it and seeing good results. It seems simple and seems to make sense. Feel like I know where the club is a lot more in relation to the ground. Love it. Keep up the great videos
I have Neuropathy in my hands from chemo. I had a hard time controlling the club with the Vardon grip so, I went to the 10 finger and it has worked out very well.
I play the soft feel and absolutely love how it feels off the face of the driver and I personally feel like when putting is when it really shines for myself, like I can be more aggressive and not worry about hitting it long.. only downfall I can think of is the ball does get chewed up pretty quickly using wedges/hitting cart paths/trees..lol
If you're anything like me Lou, the 'downfall' you speak of is insignificant because I lose it on the next hole after chewing it up :D
More ball test! Always fun.
Callaway, cheap balls , «soft» balls , the list are never ending
Whats cool about Srixon is that you can have the best of both worlds. Wait for the previous gen Z stars to go on sale and with the buy 2 dozen get one free sale. 36 balls for $45 is a great deal on a season worth of balls.
I use soft feel. What I love about them is the feel off the putter. And that's where I gain/loose most of my shots.
You simply can't give us too much high quality data like this.
Keep it coming.
As much as I want to save on cost, I can’t stand to imagine I’m leaving something out there by not going premium. Seems a
ll this testing really shows that all spectrums of handicaps benefit from using top quality.
Love how you lift your left heel. I’m getting older and started doing it to save my lower back. Great video.
Very timely comparison as I have gone with the Q Star Tour to begin this season. So far, only 4 rounds to date, I am enjoying this ball. Price is good and my performance is telling me this is a really good ball. Keep these comparisons going. Thank you.
I've used Soft Feel in the past but moved to AD333s which have now been replaced. Recommended to move to Q Star by our Assistant pro and used it for the first time this week. I liked it. It flew well and seemed to give me better feel around the greens. Will have a play with the Z Star too, in the near future, just for giggles!
That's why the soft feel is for me. It revolutionized my Driver Play. Forgiving and Low Spin of the driver
MARK, I love the data graphs.
I game the q star tour and it fits my game very well at a nice price....9 handicapper
Dude this is the best review ever. New sub!
Thanks bruh and welcome.
Bought the Q-Star Tours on the "buy 2 dozen get one free" deal. I've loved them since the first generation.
Really good test and showing what you pay for is consistency in the numbers rather than the numbers themselves.
People have been sold that soft feel is premium that’s been the message for the last few years. When soft golf balls don’t really preform very well. I like a golf ball to have a little personality.
Thanks Mark , have started using the Q star tour & Bridgestone RX more often and find overall game control good and balls similar in feel and performance. Will now try ZXV and see what differences I get off the driver and wedges. Ohh and when it comes to condition, the Srixon balls are superb and you can spot them off the fairways better than most other brands.
The great thing about Z-Star and Z-Star XV is that they're already significantly cheaper than other balls in that category.
In Australia we're talking about anywhere from $20-30 cheaper than Pro V1, TP5, new Chrome Soft etc. For equal performance. That's huge! It can get you into a tour ball at a mid level budget.
I swear by the Soft Feel. I love they way they feel when i put and chip
1 year later i'm just now seeing this video. I love the Srixon Soft Feel golf ball. Its cheap, and I've had great performance with it, on top of visibility in the orange color is great so even if im putting them in the woods I've been able to find most of them.
Very good test. I was using Z Star when I was playing well, but once I started to play more links golf I switched to XV. I felt that the performance around the greens was better for me and having a harder feel off tight lies was giving me more accurate feedback through strike. They are expensive and I won't use them if I'm not playing well (i'm not a good player) but getting a 4 for 3 offer reduces that price down to a more acceptable level.
The new way you are presenting the data is great Mark. Perfect for a ball comparison too.
I've now switched to the Inesis Tour 900. I think any ball test should have this ball included in it. It is a great ball with an amazing price. Every review I've seen rates it highly. The My GolfSpy test which is the most comprehensive I've seen had it right up there with the best. Love to see Mark review it alongside his Z Star.
Yes, yes and yes! Yes - what an awesomely enlightening video. Yes - with other golf ball manufacturers. And definitely yes for a ‘priced the same’ shoot out across the brands. Thank you Mark, that was tremendously useful. 👏👏👏🧠
Love your backyard setup!!!!!
Great video mark. Love the scatter graphics and presentation. Bridgestone balls next please. Exciting swing speed gains.
Inesis distance, soft, tour.
Beat me to it.
Me too. The tour 900 has the attributes of the z star and price of the soft feel. Win win. Brand snobbery prevents it getting played by the masses. Suits me. Keeps it cheap.
Likewise. I've only had a few games with the tour and i like it. Price point is fantastic
Found an Inesis distance ball. It was a rock. I tecommend don't hit it with a club you don't want to dent. Hopeful they improved it, normally their gear is solid
I stopped playing in 2002 and went into golf blackout mode until July 2018. When I stopped playing I loved the softer golf balls (typically gamed a Top Flight Strata). First game I came back, the club pro sold me a sleeve of Srixon soft feels. I loved them! Over the last year and a half I’ve played the z-star and the XV as well as a few other premium. I now play the XV exclusively. On the course I just get better results with it. But I really wish it felt as soft as the Soft Feel does. Call me old fashioned but I much prefer a softer feeling ball.
I game the Srixon soft feel. It's all abot feel for me. I can feel more what the ball is doing on/off the clubface. I feel I have better control. I haven't seen any drop off in distance with my driver and feel that I am consistently more accurate with it.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, your new data visualization is amazing.
Excellent video. I game the XV and have for almost a year. For the price (compared to ProV1x or Tp5x) it's a no brainier for a tour level ball. Comfortably 20-30% cheeper for 99.5% of the performance.
I absolutely love zstar. And I can buy them for around 25 bucks a dozen. You can’t beat that especially when performance is on par with any premium ball.
The Taylormade project A was probably the best mid priced golf ball over the last couple of years so would love to see the new Taylormade tour responce which is the project A replacement up against The Srixon Q star tour and the Titleist tour soft.You could also throw in a some of the brands premium balls as well.I know you are not Taylormade's biggest fan but the project A was a fantastic all round ball and if the tour responce is just as good or slightly better it will take some beating.
Well done review.. just something to ponder... Us engineering types, and those who are just very curious, would like to see a cross section of the balls. Take a PVC pipe cutter and cut a ball in half. This reveals what a 2, 3, 4 piece ball really looks like inside. They are all very colorful inside and seeing what is inside makes for a very colorful, complete and fascinating presentation.
This made me giggle I think it was a joke.
@@MarkCrossfield LOL.. Well actually, a few guys do this. Some examples; ruclips.net/video/UJeSZme9aCY/видео.html FF to 4:10; ruclips.net/video/oFy1sjTf5bo/видео.html FF to 5:35 ; And this guy, the first thing he does is show you the insides.. ruclips.net/video/OBffgTRvODQ/видео.html It does make for a more interesting presentation..
Dude, lets see a range of all the cheap medium range balls, for more of the average golfer, 80- 95 mph on driver swing.. I would love to see That.
I super love srixon z xv. I love the feeling when I hit with all my clubs.I don't think my performance is significantly affected by the type of ball I use. i play pretty consistently 82-84 with all balls. this ball just gives me the feeling of quality and that's the only reason I use it. it lasts 5 rounds. then it makes small cracks.
Mark, I just came back here and re-watched this as I was given a box of Q-star Tour Divide golf balls. My game is a mess right now so I'm not sure about performance, but I can tell you they look super cool flying through the air. Keep up the good work, mate.
Fantastic!
The Soft Feel is a fairway finder for me. Very nice of the long irons
I was amazed how tight the soft feel was bunched in so many categories. To be honest the more I watch this kind of stuff on here and the likes of TXG and my golf spy the more confusing it all gets. I do find this kind of testing interesting, how to interpret the data is the tricky bit.
Do it at Lockey speeds, with a couple premium and mid range balls. Higher swing speed test! And then maybe a slower one as well that can apply to junior/senior/ladies. You will have 3 ranges covered nicely!
Nice job. I think a missed factor was ball cover deterioration. In general, I have found the Urathene cover material resists "scuff marks" better than Thermoplastic material covers? The original Q-Star cover would scuff up very easily while the XV was very durable.
I’ve not played the Srixon, usually l play Bridgestone or titleist, but I think I may give these a try after watching this... Thanks Mark
The biggest difference in premium balls and quality budget balls in a dry ball test is peak height off of wedges. Premium balls spin more and keep a more "flat" trajectory. Budget balls tend to balloon really high. I guess that is to help higher handicapper get the ball in the air.
I would love to see testing on diff brands of balls per price point. Especially the Q star tour vs. the NXT tour and tour S. Thanks!!!
I think the Q Star Tour would blow away the Titleist Tour Soft
Great test Mark. Just what I was looking for. In-depth and informative. Thanks
It would be interesting to see this test with a higher handicap golfer
Mark. I’d love to be a handicap tester for you. Just purchased a dozen Q Star Tour and really enjoyed them over 9 holes this evening. Next round Friday and can’t wait. Wish I still had my Ping Eye 2 irons though ! Andy.
Bravo !!! Great video ! You’re quickly becoming my first choice for information
Definitely Mark, all the big brands would be great. Thanks!
Really cool to see. I have found the Q star tour to be a great performer for the money and it’s awesome to see the data behind it!
I think higher handicappers tend to have a lot of thin strikes and blades with the wedges so they are sold on the softer feel because it doesn’t seem like it will land as hard and roll out as far if they thin one.
Z star XV very good distance control. Left-Right dispersion minimal unless player strike induced.
I won a couple of boxes of z star xvs last year. Could definitely tell the difference once you got closer to the green. Couldn’t afford to continue to play them so have gone back to the cheaper ball. It changes how/what shots you play around the green.
Outstanding job Mark, by far the best ball review I have seen. Really like the way you presented the data. I currently use Q Star Tour.
Z Star for me. My choice for many a year. I do buy the previous years model though. Currently I can buy the 2018 Z Star for Australian $43
For me (I shoot low to mid 80's) I don't see a lot of difference in performance between the Q-Star Tour and the Z-Star. The Tour is good value. For a low end ball that is long, the Soft Feel is excellent. I've tried all of these except the XV. Excellent review. Just what I want to see.
As an older golfer with an obviously lower clubhead speed it'd be awesome to do a test of balls that suit this type of player. 🙏🙏
As a high (22) handicapper...I love a soft ball as it makes me feel like I have a decent swing speed and really 'compress' the ball! I also like a cheap ball so I don't weep when I lose 3 or 4 (or more) a round. I'd love to see Wilson DX2 Optix (ultimate soft ball) in your next test please.
For me Mark I am 3 handicap and love the extra soft. You think about it 3rd of the game is around the green. Just love that butter soft feel and I gives me confidence.
loving the new data sets and how they're being displayed. currently gaming snell mtb x
Would love to see a below $20 ball test. Srixon Soft feel, Callaway War Bird, Taylor made Distance+, Inesis, Top Flite Distance and Hammer line, Wilson Smart Core and Ultra 500 type balls. No one has done a comprehensive test like you just did in to all the budget balls and how the actually perform on a monitor. Thanks for the videos!
Kerp it up Mark! I would love to see the Bridgestone premium balls against other brands. I play bridgestone ball and i love it!
Excellent video Mark. Played Softfeels and then Z Stars for a period before discovering Pro V1's which transformed my game. Definitely seen with my golf mates ,who swing it slower ,that the premium balls give them very little gain and that something like a Softfeel really performs for way less investment
I would love to see a review on the Cleveland front line putters. But great work Mr. Crossfield!
Best ball test I've seen and helped me pick the right ball. Thanks.
Love the custom Scotty head covers on the wall always wanted to get my old laguna 2 refinished - best putter ever
I have done a similar test after realising that my swing had slowed to take advantage of Taylormade TP5. I found that some of the soft feel were hard to control the distance when putting tending to spring off inconsistently. The issue of spin on the green never happens for most high handicappers and it’s better to play for a consistent run out after landing.
My guess would be that a large part of people buying golf balls are middle too high hcp golfers, that may not as invested to the game and therefor not willing to pay a lot of money for golf balls.
Its my understanding (i might be wrong) that lower compression golf balls are softer and more suited to the slower swing speeds whereas higher compression golf balls require higher swing speeds in order to gain maximum control.
I'm a 14 hcap. Strike is king for me. If I'm inconsistent then the performance of any ball will be inconsistent. love the vid and maybe this would be a chance to test with a higher handicapper and see if it really matters which ball they use.
