This ball first caught my eye early last year when I saw PGA Tour professional Tim Clark playing it. It took me by surprise because I had never seen a tour pro play a yellow golf ball before. Usually I'm more accustomed to seeing a yellow ...
Srixon Golf Balls, Clubs, Irons & Bags Reviews
Sumitomo Rubber Industries — SRI
X — “Unlimited”
ON — Going Onward.
SRI…X…ON. Srixon.
While it may feel like an episode of the old Electric Company kids’ show, Srixon is more than just a collection of letters to make a clever name — it is a global company that has truly made and maintained a name for themselves in the golf industry.
History
Way back in 1930 (that’s right, kids… 1930), Dunlop UK started making golf balls in Japan. In 1963, Sumitomo Rubber Industries assumes management of Dunlop UK in Japan. 1983 marked the beginning of the manufacturing and supplying of Dunlop Slazenger golf balls to the world.
Jump to the year 2000. Srixon launches a specific “Hi-Spin” golf ball to 27 countries and becomes the number one ball and club producer in Japan. They continue to develop clubs — including the XXIO Hot driver, which is voted “World’s Longest Driver” in Golf World Magazine. Srixon acquires Jim Furyk and other Tour players to start the Srixon name march through the world of professional golf. Furyk doesn’t do too shabby — advancing to No. 2 ranked player at the end of 2006.
In 2009, SRI acquires Cleveland Golf and expands their market share. They continue today to market Trispeed and Distance balls in addition to more advanced clubs such as the Z-TX models.
Marks Of Greatness
How did Srixon become more than just another brand? How did they become such a success story? Innovation and attitude. They have been making golf balls for over 80 years. They pioneered the Balata Ball. They invested heavily in technological advances. They have over seven hundred patents taken out worldwide. By partnering with the well-known wedge giant Cleveland, they increased their capacity and workforce.
Finally, they are not afraid of aggressive marketing — at one point, being proud to be seen as somewhat “non-traditional” in the golf advertising world.

Srixon Z Star Premium Golf Balls
Economy Golf Ball w/ Thin Cover & Friction Coating
The Srixon Z Star ball is not my favorite premium ball based simply on performance, but it does stand out in one particular area. That is economy. This ball is a lot cheaper than my number 1 favorites -- Titleist's Pro V and Pro ...
Srixon Z Star X Golf Balls
Fast Golf Swing, Thin Soft Urethane Cover w/ Firm Core
This ball's cover is thin! "How thin?" you ask. The cover of this ball is thinner than Lindsey Lohan's blood at 5 a.m. It's thinner than Paris Hilton's nightie. This cover is thinner than a French vegetarian exchange student living with Texans.
Okay, enough of ...
Srixon Fairway Wood Mens Golf Club
Black & Steel Weighted Z-TX w/ Twin Cams
