Q-Star Tour
A soft 3-piece urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with a 74 compression FastLayer core (soft center, firm outside), delivering mid-high launch, high greenside spin, and tour-caliber control for swing speeds of 75+ mph.
What do these specs mean?
Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

Who It’s For
The Srixon Q-Star Tour is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, greenside control, mid handicap. In the Srixon lineup, the Q-Star Tour sits firmer than the Srixon Q-Star and softer than the Srixon UltiSpeed.
Feel
With a compression of 74 and a urethane cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.
Spin Profile
Expect controlled (not excessive) driver spin that holds its line in the air. Around the green, the cover gives you tour-level greenside spin and one-hop-stop performance on full wedges.
Trajectory & Construction
A mid-flight window — versatile across course conditions. The 3-piece construction uses a three-piece design — one mantle layer manages driver spin while the cover handles wedge grip. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
Priced at $39.99 per dozen, the Q-Star Tour sits in the value-tour sweet spot — roughly 80% of premium performance for 65% of the cost.
Buy it if
- You sit in the 90–105 mph range and want a ball that works across your bag.
- Greenside spin and stopping power matter more than durability.
- You play a lot of shoulder-season or cold-weather golf.
Skip it if
- Your driver already spins too much — more spin means more slice.
