Today, Srixon announces the fifth iteration of the popular Q-STAR TOUR golf ball. As per usual, the new Q-STAR TOUR will be available in Pure White and Tour Yellow as well as a host of Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE colorways.

Let’s walk through the new Q-STAR TOUR lineup and what’s new for 2024.

What’s New with Q?

You’re probably wondering why the 2024 Q-STAR TOUR golf ball seems largely the same as its predecessor. Of course, appearance is only the tip of the iceberg.

The real difference lies within.

I’ll spare you the Shrek quote I wanted to use about peeling an onion (or ogre) layer by layer and instead give it to you straight: The core of the Q-STAR TOUR lineup of golf balls has been reformulated.

How? The new FastLayer core has been firmed up a bit. The hope is that this change will promote faster ball speeds without compromising the soft feel that so many already love about the Q-STAR TOUR lineup.

“Players can work the ball tee to green with confidence,” said Brian Schielke, General Manager at Srixon. “And with an updated FastLayer Core, they can generate more ball speeds and distance without compromising feel.”

Combine the firmer core with a new, softer cover and you’ve got yourself a potential winner (or spinner). And, yes, Srixon’s SpinSkin coating is still around to ensure you’ve got maximum stopping power when you need it.

If recent years are any indication of performance, it’s worth noting that the Q-STAR TOUR has been on an upward trend in our Ball Lab. You’ll be the first to know how the 2024 Q-STAR TOUR fares when put through our gauges and gizmos galore.

The Great Divide

The same changes and tweaks made to the Q-STAR TOUR ball will be found on the new second generation of Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE golf balls. You’ll remember when Srixon introduced the bold lineup a few years ago? (How could you forget?) The same 50/50 matte cover you know (and I love) is back for Round 2.

“The new Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE helps golfers align more accurately on the putting greens and see the way the ball spins on pitch and chip shots for more visual feedback,” said Schielke. “It’s a great way to see the game.”

I must say the Orange/Yellow color combo looks much better on the Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE than a traffic cone. Just saying.

In any case, the new reformulated FastLayer Core, softer cover and SpinSkin coating are all there, despite the colorful matte finish.
