Short version: the Srixon Z-Star Diamond suits strong players who want more iron spin than the XV. [1] Diamond blends distance and greenside spin, with extra spin on long and mid irons. Its core is softer at the centre to cut driver spin. [3]
Who it fits
Good for: strong players who want more iron spin than the XV.
