We tested the Srixon Q-Star Ultispeed golf ball using our standardized golf ball testing protocol. Here's how it performed from tee to green in our driver, 7-iron, and 50-yard wedge test.
All testing was conducted using our published golf ball testing methodology and reflects controlled human testing.

Srixon Q-Star Ultispeed Performance Notes
Low spin and high launch off the tee were more than enough to compensate for a below-average ball speed and help Srixon Q-Star Ultispeed prove it's one of the longest golf balls of 2026. Ultispeed finished behind just four balls in total driver distance in our 43-ball test. It also turned in a solid performance in our wedge control test. That combination makes it a strong option for high handicap players who prioritize distance and also demand some responsiveness around the greens. It's also a good choice for players who prefer more rollout for extra distance rather than stronger stopping power from their irons.
