I agree with the other reviews that for me (a 15 handicap) this ball plays as well as Pro V1. While the retail price is just a little less than ProV1, it is not as well known a a brand so if you go to a well-stocked shop with re-loads, the price for Srixon-including the Z_URS is much less--I actually got a dozen for $6 each.

I play in the upper 70's and lower 80's. This winter I went south for a vacation and decided to bring the clubs along so I could get out while the wife was with the little ones. I was looking for balls online and found these on special for 19.99/doz. and grabbed them up. My drives saw no noticeable change while around the green I felt very comfortable with the feel. For the price I decided to buy 4 dozen more. I would have to say this is the best deal that I have found yet in golf equipment.

I picked up a sleeve of these to compare with the Pro V 1. I see no noticable difference between these and the Pro V's. I can get the same distance and the same "bite" with the Srixon. Do yourself a favor and give a sleeve a try. You won't be disappointed!

I haven't kept a handicap in the past 5 years, but held an 8 for quite awhile prior. I've never been one to spend a lot of money for premium golf balls, as I've never wanted that to enter into my thinking while standing over a shot with hazards in the way. I've never bought a new Pro V1 that I can recall, but I've played plenty I've found along the journey. Recently, while preparing to vacation in Myrtle Beach, I bought 4 dozen Srixon Z-URS on the Web for an attractive price, relatively speaking. I've never been more confident in my golf ball. I love the distance/control combination. I'm 52, out of shape, but I'm outdriving almost anything I've done in previous seasons, really. Now, if I could learn to hit my short shots, as I all too often crush a drive, only to hit my 8, 9 or wedge fat. This ball flies, rolls and bites. I've been playing for 40 years plus and I've never repaired so many marks, right by or in front of my approach shots... when I hit them. I chose the Srixon because I love to pull for the underdog and the big "T" simply doesn't need any more patrons. I have noticed more and more contenders with the Srixon logo or ball in play on the Tour, but I play it in spite of it's nearly anonymous status. It's affordable, effective and I get more than a round per ball, which means durability to me. If I were making a living at this crazy game, I'd still be playing Srixon. I'm done playing the balls I find. Now I bring them home for the boys to play!

I found one of these while playing awhile back. Figured I'd give it a test run, and boy I was sold.

I've been a huge fan of the Callaway HX Tour 56 for a long time. Excellent ball, and one of my all time favorites. But this ZUR-S is sweet.

Pros~

Distance~ good distance overall, comparable to Pro V1, HX Tours, etc. It still takes a good swing and contact to get the most out of a drive or golf shot period.

Control~ The stopping power, and spin is right up there with the best of the best. The checking up this ball does is one of my favorite things about it. I know when I step up to a delicate chip shot, and need to throw it right at the pin, it's going where I want it to.

Durability~ The cover seems to hold up better than Pro V1 and HX Tours do. I can get alot of rounds and use from the ZUR-S's. Very durable, and the peeling will occur with a wedge or iron with alot of sharp grooves on occasion. But normaly, this thing holds up.

Con's~ None so far. There is nothing that I've found that doesn't impress me, or would make me change from using them. They are $40 a dozen, right around the range of the Callaways, Titleist, Nike, etc. But you get what you pay for.

*As a bonus, when I went to buy my dozen of these babies, they are giving away a huge Tour towel with them. Great deal for the $40

You pretty much name it, I've tried it. ;)

A good ball. Strengths- solid distance especially for us 80s and 90s shooters with slightly slower speeds and good bite on irons 6-PW. Easy to putt with, good soft feel.

Drawbacks- cannot quite stop like Pro Vs on short pitches, flops etc... I play a course with very fast greens and have to rely on my up and downs. Many of us 80 shooters are only hitting 6-10 GIR, so short game spin is pretty important. Perhaps the ZUR-C would be better in this department.

I played a bit better with the old ZU-R. It had a higher ball flight than this one. Personal preference.

I think this is a good ball, but for 40 bucks I think I'd have to say pay the extra $5.00 and play the Pro-Vs or pay $29 and get the NXTs or Callaway Hot Bite as more of an economy option.

Great golf ball! This ball flies ten yards farther with all clubs, and feels great around the greens chipping and putting. I would stack this ball up against any ball on the market. This ball is recomended for players with swing speeds of 80mph or higher. Would highly recomend this ball to any one that plays tour caliber balls right now.

I play gold during the summer about once a week and my iron game is starting to get a lot better and thus my search was on to find the "right" golf ball for me.

I never thought I could play a "Tour" ball but after playing a few Nike Black balls it had changed my mind.

After reading a review on the Srixon's I decided to give it a try.

I was very impressed. the Srixon Z-URS for me was about 10 yards longer (with iron) in distance than the Nike Black or Platinum. It was definitely softer which I like. The main difference I noticed was that on off center hits the Srixon went a lot farther than the Nike Black or Platinum when not struck solidly. Putting with the Z-URS was good, with a nice "click". As for the spin, I don't think it spun quite as much as the Nike Platinum but I was a able to pull a few back just enough.

Overall this is a great ball and I highly recommend it.

As long and consistent as any premium ball I've played. Started with the Z-UR but switched to the URS model because it is softer around the green and spins very well. In fact, it is this balls ability to fly straight and spin when you need it that won me over.
Only downside, they are not particularly durable, as they scuff easily and can be scored by iron grooves at times. For me it is easy to live with this, given the overall performance of this ball.

The zur-s is a great ball. This ball feels a little firmer than some but is definitely softer than the zur - more in line with the titleist nxt tour. This ball is as long as any ball out there, and i believe that the sound the slightly firmer feel produces builds confidence off the tee. I started using this ball as i loved the ad333 but it tended to balloon on drives so i was looking for a ball with a lower ball flight. The zur-s produces a penetrating flight on all shots but still stops quickly on shots around the green.It feels good and rolls true on putts also. All up i believe it is one of the better balls out there.
