Spin Doctors: Srixon’s Premium Golf Balls

blog-srixon-1.jpg

Did you catch Hideki Matsuyama’s approach shot on the par-4 second hole during Friday’s coverage of the PGA Championship? It landed 20 feet past the hole, safely in the middle of the green and seemingly was nothing special. Then it began to roll. And roll. The ball would continue to roll until it disappeared into the bottom of the cup. The crowd erupted and Matsuyama found himself climbing up the leaderboard. While many of us may dream of holing out for eagle in a major, most will have to resign themselves to simply watching such moments on TV. However, there is a way average Joes can get one step closer to competing like such superstars as Matsuyama, Graeme McDowell and Keegan Bradley: play the same ball. Enter the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV.

Srixon has always found themselves at the forefront of innovation and the newest incarnation of the Z-Star series is no different. The SpinSkin™ coating is a 0.5mm layer applied to the already soft neo-urethane cover. This provides exceptional control and helps to increase interaction between the ball and clubface by up to 25%. That means better control over the spin you put on the golf ball, and better feel around the greens so you can do more of this:

If you’re more concerned about the bragging rights that come with smashing your drive past playing partners, fear not. Srixon’s new Speed Dimple™ technology combines with an Energetic Gradient Growth™ core to deliver incredible distance. The Z-Star XV combines all of these features with a slightly harder cover and higher core compression for those looking to squeeze every yard out of their golf ball. Just ask J.B. Holmes, who has been crushing the Srixon Z-Star an average of 313.1 yards; the second-longest average on Tour in 2016.

Beyond its premium lines, Srixon offers balls for golfers of all ability levels in the Q-Star and Soft Feel. The former is engineered with tour ball technology, providing a superior combination of distance, accuracy, greenside spin and durability for those golfers who demand premium performance in an all-ability ball. The latter is designed for golfers with swing speeds below 100 mph and provides terrific feel and distance from tee to green.

Celine Boutier Part of the France Sports Panorma

If you are a fan of anything to do with sports about France, this is a great time. Tennis fans are enjoying the French Open. Say what you will about the hard-court tennis at the U.S. Open or the grass court tennis at Wimbledon, but the clay court tennis at Roland Garros is special. Just the look and texture about the clay makes this annual major something special.

Why I Wanted a Korean Golfer to Win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Midway through the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, I had dreams of K-Pop and the PGA Tour. When Si Woo Kim (Callaway Chrome Soft X) shot a 10-under par in the second round of the tournament, I wanted him to win. Or countryman Sungjae Im (Titleist Pro V1x), who recorded an ace in the same round. I thought it would be great to see one of the two Korean golfers win because of the connection to the title sponsor and seeing the Bibigo signage, TV commercials and logo on Kim and Im’s shirts.

Aaron Rai Masters The PGA Championship

If you had Aaron Rai (Titleist Pro V1) winning the PGA Championship, you are a genius. His odds ranged from 150-1 to 290-1. He showed absolutely nothing in his recent form or overall this year to indicate he was ready to do something big. Yes, he placed fifth prior to the PGA Championship in the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, but that was a tournament for players who weren’t eligible for the Truist Championship. So how could you realistically bet on Rai to win the PGA Championship?
