    Going to use the Srixon Z-Star ball today for the first time. The spin hype has me intrigued

      Well shot 89 first round and a 96 second round.
      I will NEVER work 12 hrs then play 2 rounds of golf before any sleep is involved again. It was fun but the last 10 holes or so were a labor.

      The Q-Star was great on approach shots and the really did bite the green a lot more than the e6's.
      I still prefer the e6 off the tee but can't go wrong either way.

      Working the next 6 days (thankfully not all night) so won't get out again for a week or so.

        Just realized that I've been playing the wrong shaft on my driver

        Been playing with a "Regular" flex - when I should be swinging a "stiff". Go figure - no wonder I was pulling everything yesterday on my drives.

            Ugh. Went out at 11 in 48 degree weather. Front 9 was a joke. Hit just about every water hazard there was. Back 9 the weather warmed up and so did it. I feel like it's hard to judge the Q-star on a day like this because if I was it would be the loser so I will play it one more round when it is nicer out.

            Love love love the RBZ driver and the stage 2 3-wood. Ball explodes off the 3 wood. Very happy with both those clubs.

              Just got in from playing 18 and feel amazing!!! Shot a 83 which if it wasn't for me thinking about cracking the 70's it would have been lower.

              I noticed around Hole 14/15 that I was flirting with 78 if I Par'd out. Well I bogeyed out lol and finished with 83

              Did some research on several Premium balls so I decided on the Srixon Z-Star ball and I can say without a doubt that ball is AMAZING! !! It's all that it's cracked up to be. I avg around 240-250 off the tee. Today it was more into the 260-265 range to my surprise. My iron shots were 5/10 yards longer consistently. And the spin OMG!!! On hole 18 a Par 5 my 3rd shot from about 80 yards with a 60 degree CG16 landed about 5ft onto the front on the green and backed completely off the green. I've never had that type of spin before. This ball will be the one for the rest of the season.

              What a proud golfer I am today. My head is so big right now I would take on Tiger, ok I'm bs' ing.

                For the money IMO the Z-Star is the best ball out there. For us non-pros.

                  Great round, Flight! How was the accuracy on your drives? I am still using my Pro V1x's from lostgolfballs; so I have to wait to finish them before purchasing another batch of Z-Stars. Sounds like they will be my ball of choice when that comes to.

                  I recorded my DTL and FO swing; man I hate my swing. It's just ugly - and there are so many things I need to work on. Ugh, golf season

                    played much better tonight, my backswing was way too long, by the 5th hole i shortened the swing and finished with a 41. Wish I could have gotten 18 in.

                      My drives were SCARY ACCURATE. I was pickings spots off the tee and every time and I mean every time my tee shots were pretty much spot on. A buddy of mine even started to take notice of my accuracy. First couple of hole I was like MEH but then I started to notice the distance of this ball and how it reacted on the greens. I looked at over 100 consumer reviews the last couple of days and they are spot on. This ball is a must try for the avg hacker

                        Playing the worst golf of my life. I hope this ends soon. A 4 handicap is going up to a 10 next revision. Its getting very frustrating!

                            I know that someone here mentioned lost golf balls before. Since my buddy knows that I am trying new golf balls this year, he suggested the Bridgestone e6 ball as well. So I went there to try to snag a few. I was very excited about seeing AAAAA rated balls for $17.99. Then I went to purchase and saw that with shipping they would've only been about $3 dollars cheaper than Golf Galaxy with the cheapest shipping price.

                            Well lo-and behold. LGB has an eBay store that does for FREE that same shipping that would've cost an extra $6. So for anyone who is looking to them, I would suggest giving their eBay store a look over their website. Same shipping for no additional cost.

                              Got up early today and went and played 9 before I have to go to work. It's just a small 9 hole course but I shot a 38. Feel pretty good

                                That is an AWESOME find. Thanks, Rob. You know I love LGB - but didn't realize their shipping was still set up that way; let alone Ebay...
