Srixon Z-UR and Z-URS- £40 a dozen

Design and Tech Benefits Both models share the same ultra-thin urethane cover and high-velocity mid-layers plus a dimple pattern for a high trajectory and penetrating flight. But the Z-URS's core is softer and of a lower compresion to bring slightly better feel when you're looking for control off the short irons.

Specs Both three-piece. 330 dimple urethane covers.

GM VERDICT The Z-URS has been our ball of choice for much of the season because we feel it provides one of the best blends of distance and control, with a little more durability than other softer-feeling balls on blatant miss-hits. The Z-UR can feel a touch to hard for the most delecate of par-saving chips.
