Srixon’s Z-URC, New Z-URS And AD333 Golf Balls And I-506 Irons Awarded
ATLANTA — January 16, 2007 Srixon Sports announces that they have received Gold and Silver Awards for four of their products—Z-URC, new Z-URS, AD333 golf balls, and I-506 irons—by the Golf Digest Hot List 2007.
The new Srixon Z-URC and Z-URS golf balls tied for the highest rated Tour Performance balls in the Performance category, 2007 Golf Digest Hot List, and were rated outstanding in Technology/Preference/Value. With a new technologically advanced cover, thinner mid-layer and larger core, the new Z-URS is the latest addition to Srixon’s Z-UR family of world-wide Tour winning golf balls. Each element of the previous Z-URS model was redesigned to provide a golf ball that had more ball velocity and greenside spin and control without sacrificing the optimal launch conditions of its predecessor.
The revolutionary new Z-URC golf ball has several features that only a technology leader like Srixon could develop. It starts with the softest urethane-elastomer cover we’ve ever developed which delivers outstanding spin control on approach shots and around the green. At an astounding .02 inches thin, this unique cover provides for a large, fast Energetic Gradient Growth core, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice distance to gain this control.
Srixon’s AD 333 golf ball won the Silver Award and was rated outstanding in performance and technology, Value Performance Ball 2007 Golf Digest Hot List. The AD333 features a soft, proprietary Rabalon blended cover and a large soft Energetic Gradient Growth core. The result is a ball with a soft core compression that launches higher, with less spin and more ball speed which is ideal for a wide range of golfer abilities.
Srixon’s I-506 irons won the Silver Award and was rated outstanding in performance and technology, Players Iron, 2007 Golf Digest Hot List. The forged 1025 carbon steel I-506 irons give the feedback and response that better players demand in their shotmaking, with all of the technology and forgiveness built into the Digital Impact Design. The classic blade profile with a thin topline and minimal offset give the appearance of a traditional players club.
