Srixon's Q- Star golf balls

Srixon’s Q- Star golf balls (Srixon)

Srixon Q-Star golf balls (2020)

Price: $32.99 per dozen
Specs: Three-piece, urethane-covered ball available in white and yellow
Available: Now

The FastLayer core in the updated Q-Star is soft in the center and gradually grows firmer toward the outer areas. While many balls have a single or a dual-core design, Srixon said the FastLayer core is like having thousands of layers, giving golfers a softer feel at impact with better energy transfer for more distance.

The Q-Star’s urethane cover features an aerodynamic 338-dimple pattern that the company said helps make the ball more stable in windy conditions. At the same time, the urethane should help golfers generate more spin and enhance feel around the green.
