Srixon is back for 2026 with an upgraded version of their popular Q Star Tour golf ball. The 3-piece urethane design, is Srixon’s mid compression ball. It’s undergone a few changes from last years model, so let’s see what it’s all about. Check out out full Srixon Q Star Tour 2026 Golf Ball review below…

NCG Summary

NCG SUMMARY

The Q Star Tour and Tour Divide is a three piece urethane golf ball. It is designed for those players looking for tour level performance but with moderate swing speeds.

Off the face it has a soft feel but packs a punch with distance and ball speed. With wedges it has excellent spin performance for a non premium golf ball.

PROS

Great spin with wedges
Strong distance off the tee
Soft feel on putts and short-game shots
Strong performance for a non premium ball

CONS

None

First Impressions

Srixon offer’s the Q Star Tour ball in a standard white design as well as a funky half and half design – called the Q Star Tour Divide.

The plain white design offers a classic plain design, with a solid alignment line that looks great. If you’re after something a little more out there the Q Star divide welcomes an all-new 50/50 gloss finish design.

The Divide’s 360° seam line helps perfect your aim and roll on the greens. It helps to show the balls roll which some players may like and benefit from.

The Q Star Tour plain ball does also come in a Tour Yellow colourway too.

NCG Review

The Q Star Tour has seen some upgrades from the previous model. Srixon has used a Spin Skin+ Coating. This is designed to be a more durable cover that aims to dig deeper into the grooves, to maximise spin.

I tested this ball both on the course and at an indoor studio to gather data. So, starting with 58° trying to hit a 50 yard shot. The Q Star aims to have mid to high levels of wedge spin. I would expect to see around 7000RPM with a premium ball and so with an average of just over 6300RPM this does meet that expectation.

Off the face you could feel that these were reasonably soft which was a nice feeling. They have a compression rate of 74 which compared to the AD333 at 68 means it’s just a little firm for comparison.

Moving onto 7 iron, the numbers were pretty solid. I was happy with the spin rate being just over 5000 and an average of 144 yards carry was also very respectable.

This continued with driver, the numbers were impressive. A 134mph average ball speed was strong, as well as the 222 yards carry. Srixon labels these balls as being low spin with driver but I got more of a low to mid spin averaging 2400RPM.

On the greens, I liked how the ball came off the putter face. The Divide ball provided instant feedback on the quality of the roll – personally I preferred the plain design but I certainly use the Divide during my practice.

NCG Verdict

Overall, I really enjoyed using this ball. I think it really nails the demographic appealing to players who are looking for tour performance with moderate swing speeds.
