Srixon Z-URC – Serious Balls

The Z-URC is the latest ball to come flying out of Srixon Z-UR series of products. Like its tour winning cousins Z-UR and Z-URS, the Z-URC features something called an ultra thin urethane elastomer cover, that Srixon say is their softest ever.

Now to you and me an ‘ultra thin urethane elastomer cover’ simply means that the ball is unbelievably responsive, delivering pin point accuracy around the greens. Normally this ‘soft touch’ can result in a loss of distance off the tee, but the Z-URC seems to have bridged the gap and provides excellent results over long distances. Just in case you don’t believe us, ask Jim Furyk next time you see him, he has been using the balls and winning with them on the US Tour.

Technical Stuff

Construction: 3 piece
Cover: Srixon’s softest ever, ultra thin urethane elastomer
Boundary layer: Highly resilient ionomer
Core: Highly resilient Energetic Growth core
Aerodynamics: High trajectory 330 dimple pattern

What They Say

“The new ball has a highly resilient large Energetic Gradient Growth core with a high velocity boundary layer and a 330 high trajectory dimple pattern.

The spin function is greater on approach shots because of the high quality and great softness of the urethane cover.

The incredibly thin cover, surrounding the highly resilient large Energetic Growth Core, provides greater resilience and initial velocity for the highest possible speed and subsequent exceptional carry.”

What We Say

We love this new ball from Srixon, a very impressive blend between distance and control that allows confidence from the tee and aggression around the green. It is however twice as expensive as the standard of balls that most golfers would use, the rrp is £40 for a dozen!! That might seem a little pricey if you are prone to losing a few balls every round, but obviously not if you’re Jim Furyk.
