Srixon Q-Star Tour Divide Golf Balls

Product Information

I noticed a slight drop off in distance with driver, woods and mid-irons. However, there was no distance change with full wedges shots which I was pleased about. This ball is designed for lower compression so if your swing speed is moderate to slow this could be a great option.

The goal with this new version was to make some incremental improvements without reinventing the wheel,” says Srixon General Manager Brian Schielke. “The new Q-STAR Tour features a softer mid-layer which produces better feel and an increase in spin.” We’ve discussed this with Srixon whenever Q-STAR Tours come up and, to its credit, the company has neither shied away from the results nor has it dismissed them. When Srixon introduced the Q-STAR Tour DIVIDE two-color balls last spring, they included much of what’s new in this “standard” version. The high points are the ever-evolving FastLayer Core, that thinner cover we discussed earlier and an elongated alignment stamp.

MyGolfSpy’s Ball Lab report on the Srixon Q-STAR TOUR last October found significant inconsistencies in both roundness and compression. For its part, Srixon hasn’t officially commented, other than to say they were surprised by the results. By comparison, the Srixon Z-STAR, which is made in Japan, scored very well in its Ball Lab test. Srixon’s only four-piece ball, the XV was updated in 2021 with everything from its molecules to its dimples pushed to the limit. Used by Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama and 2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry, it’s longer than Z-Star thanks to a reformulated inner core boosts overall resiliency for a faster snap off the clubface for more ball speed and distance. One of the shifts we’re seeing in the golf ball market is line extension. OEMs are putting more offerings on the table in hopes of scratching different golf ball itches. Srixon is taking that to the next level. The new Q-STAR Tour release now brings its urethane ball count to 12.

Expect a mid-high flight and soft feel (102 compression) and plenty of greenside spin thanks to its 0.5mm urethane cover which uses Spin Skin with SeRM. The 338 dimple pattern reduces drag and improves flight. Seve won at Augusta and Tom Watson won at Royal Birkdale. Natalie Gulbis, Carrie Underwood and Mila Kunis were all born, and Jimmy Demaret, Muddy Waters and Gloria Swanson all died. For those with a long memory, it’s here we note the 2019 Q-STAR TOUR ball scored, to be kind, not so great in MyGolfSpy’s Ball Lab test last fall. More than one-third of the balls tested were out of round, with 25 percent suffering significant layer concentricity issues. Srixon has plants in both Japan and Indonesia and the Q-STAR TOUR samples we tested were from Indonesia. We haven’t tested the Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE yet. We did test the 2019 Z-STAR last fall and it tested out favorably while the 2021 Z-STAR XV came in as average. The thing is, Srixon is telling us this FastLayer Core is the softest overall yet used in a Q-STAR Tour. Srixon says the 2022 Q-STAR Tour compression is still 72, the same as the 2020 model. I’m sure that will be one of the first tests we do in Ball Lab. Colors, and matte colors, in particular, have just been so popular lately,” he says. “We wanted to do something that would stand out from a color perspective but also give golfers the added performance benefits of a urethane ball.”

Srixon categorizes the Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE as mid-to-high-launch and, at 72 compression, it definitely registers on the soft side. FastLayer Core - The new FastLayer Core offers distance and soft feel without compromise due to a gradual transition from the soft inner core to the firm outer edge.
