Srixon Q-Star.

I have been gaming the Srixon Q-Star since the BMW Cup and why wouldn't you want to stick with a prize winning ball? Haha. In truth though, I was very pleased with how it performed on and around the greens. Even managed a couple of back spins too. Try doing that with your usual used ball.

Before the Q-Star I was gaming the Ad-333 which was also a good ball and I got a couple of boxes for cheap. RM53.00 per box at RGT Technology Sdn. Bhd, but they are now retailing for RM100.00 for two boxes if you are keen. 

Anyways before I get too carried away and before the mob come yelling "Oi! it doesn't matter what used/new ball you use if you're not a single handicapper!" I better get to the real reason for this post. 

Now, the Srixon Q-Star has been replaced with a new model with new spin skin technology. So what do retailers do with last season's stock of balls? they discount them!

A couple of months ago, a box of Q-Star balls cost RM115.00 at Pan-West which translates to about RM9.60 per ball. Now comes the best part a.k.a 'Kangtao'. 

If you happen to be in Kuala Lumpur, head over to Jgolf at Publika. 

When you get there, check out the golf balls in the perspex clear boxes near the cashier and take a closer look.

They are usually filled with 'cheaper balls' so I didn't even give them a second glance until Kenny, my golf kaki said "Dude, check it out, Q-Star balls yo."

Brand spanking new Q-Star balls and they were going for just RM3.00 a ball. You read that correctly.

RM3.00 per b.a.l.l. RM3.00!

These aren't the latest spin skin balls and there's no packaging but why would you need it anyway? They are cheap and we bought a bunch to last us a while (won't say how many though :P)

Where I am from, a reasonably good used ball will usually cost between RM1.50 - RM2.50 (depending on brand). So for just a little more, why wouldn't you get new ones? You won't find a better ball for this price!

So what are you waiting for??

You're welcome!
