Nearly two years have passed since we last asked you to take our One Word Survey.
As brand perception surveys go, this one is simple and doesn’t leave much room for nuance. It’s more a word-association game than a deep introspection into how you feel about the leading brands in golf. Perhaps the simplicity is why the past results from this survey have been so compelling.
As we sift through the results, we’ll not only look at what you had to say this time around but we’ll take a closer look at how perceptions have changed over the nearly five years we have conducted this survey.

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of the golf balls on the market to help you find the best ball for your money. Today, we’re taking a look at the 2022 Srixon Q-Star Tour. To learn more about our test process, how we define “bad” balls, check out our About MyGolfSpy Ball Lab page.
About the Srixon Q-Star Tour
The Srixon Q-Star Tour is the company’s entry into what we call the “non-Tour” urethane category. It’s a class of balls typically marketed to slow to moderate swing speed golfers. Balls in the category are invariably softer than those played on the PGA TOUR. Relative to something like a Pro V1, they’re typically higher-flying and lower-spinning as well. The commonality is the urethane cover though, generally speaking, non-Tour urethane balls will spin less than true Tour offerings.
The prior generation of the Srixon Q-Star Tour has the dubious distinction of being one of the worst balls tested to date. Transient issue at the factory or an indicator of a systemic problem?
With the 2022 version of the Q-Star Tour, we hope to find some clarity.

Q3 Financial Reports: Callaway and Acushnet – Key Takeaways
Callaway sales top $988 million in Q3 with $38.5 million in net profit.The new Topgolf Callaway Brands expects to hit nearly $4 billion in sales in 2022.Acushnet Q3 sales top $558 million with nearly $52 million in profit.Acushnet projects 2022 sales to approach $2.25 billion.
Golf’s two biggest publicly traded companies officially have closed the books on 2022’s Q3. And it doesn’t take a financial wizard to realize Acushnet and the newly rebranded Topgolf Callaway Brands aren’t playing the same game as PING, TaylorMade, COBRA or anyone else, for that matter.
You can’t even say they’re playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. It’s more like Acushnet and Topgolf Callaway are playing three-dimensional chess in while everyone else is playing Chutes and Ladders.

Anything stereotyped should be avoided on a golf course; all construction work should follow the irregular lines of nature. Any contractor who informs a committee that golf courses can be constructed on contract as they would build a clubhouse is either absolutely ignorant of golf course architecture or is trying to hoodwink the golfing public. It would be just as reasonable to expect an artist to estimate the amount he charges for a painting, according to the quantities of paint and materials he uses. ALISTER MACKENZIE
