The manufacturer was celebrating after marked progress in take-up of the product on the US PGA Tour.

Doral Resort’s recent WGC-CA Championship saw Srixon become the joint-second most-used sphere for the first time ever on the tour, signalling a surge in interest for the Z-STAR and Z-STAR X.

The Z-STAR X will have been of particular interest to big hitters such as Weekley, being specially designed for players with swing speeds of over 105mph.

Flight is aided by the aerodynamics InvisiseamTM dimple technology present in the golf ball and the extra compression and harder cover make the Z-STAR X more suited to fast-swinging players.

Greg Hopkins, president and chief executive of Cleveland Golf/Srixon, recently said of the line: “The new Z-STAR and Z-STAR X are phenomenal golf balls that are helping Srixon pave its way toward being recognized as the premier golf ball manufacturer.”
