Srixon Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE: 1983 Wants Its Ball Back

Srixon Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE

Key Takeaways:

The new Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE is golf’s first two-toned ball since the PING Eye 2.The urethane-cover matte finish is a yellow/red combo for easy putting alignment, better visuals.$32.99 a dozen. Available April 15.

Don’t know about you but the new Srixon Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE golf ball sure brings me back to the summer of 1983.

That year, your faithful scribe was a lad of 23, working nights and playing golf days, gaming Spalding Executive irons and MacGregor Tourney persimmons. And when I had the cash, those weapons would smack PING Eye two-toned balls far and deep into the woods.

And if memory still serves, I carded my very first birdie that year with a PING Eye on the par-3 17th at the Westminster Golf Club.

That summer passed, as did many others, and by 1997 PING was out of the ball business. Today PING’s two-toned balls are quite the collector’s item, fetching big bucks on eBay.

But today Srixon is bringing back the two-toned golf ball with the red and yellow Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE. For some, it’ll bring back memories of the PING Eye while for others, it might make you want to go fishing. Either way, what’s old is new again and it’s fair to ask two simple questions.

2021 Women’s Premium Glove Buyer’s Guide

Do you buy the first glove you see on the shelf? If so, you might want to start being more selective.

Women’s premium gloves are made from one piece of leather, normally cabretta or AAA cabretta. It’s basically the softest leather on the market.

A performance glove is normally constructed of two or more materials like cabretta and synthetic leather with some Lycra added for better flexibility. Performance gloves tend to be more durable.

This is the first year we tested women’s premium gloves and it proved to be a battle for top spot. From the softest of leather to the best-fitting gloves on the market, we have you covered for your buying needs.

The PXG Battle Ready Brandon is the third incarnation of the Brandon putter that PXG has released. If you go to their site and look at the previous two Brandon models, you can see an interesting progression in the design. The Gen1 Brandon had a thermoplastic insert and weight screws on the top of the putter.
