Srixon Q-Star Tour 4 Golf Balls Yellow - Soft Tour Performance

In this review of the Srixon Q-Star Tour 4 Golf Balls (Yellow, prior generation) the bottom line is simple: these are a soft-feeling, tour-style ball for players who want controlled spin around the greens without sacrificing distance. The reviewer found the ball especially well suited to players with moderate swing speeds and anyone who values visibility on the course. The combination of a urethane cover and a three-piece build delivers a noticeably softer feel than traditional tour balls while still providing the spin and rollout needed for scoring shots.

Key Features

• FastLayer Core: Provides a soft feel on shorter shots while delivering distance on longer swings because it transitions from a soft inner core to a firmer outer edge.
• Spin Skin with SeRM: The urethane coating grips wedge and iron grooves to increase friction and produce higher spin around the greens for tighter control.
• Three-piece construction: Balances distance and short-game control by separating core, mantle and cover functions for more consistent performance.
• New alignment aid: The longer side stamp makes it easier to line up putts, which helps with distance control and confidence on the green.
• Visibility: The yellow color improves sightlines in varied light and helps locate the ball in rough or on the green.

Who It's For

The Q-STAR TOUR 4 is best for recreational and competitive golfers who want a softer urethane ball with tour-caliber spin but do not require the highest compression designs. It particularly suits players with swing speeds around 75mph and above who want improved feel on approach shots and reliable spin out of wedges.

Players with very high swing speeds looking for maximum ball speed might prefer a firmer, higher-compression tour ball. Likewise, complete beginners who prioritize extreme distance over feel and short-game spin should consider less expensive two-piece distance balls instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, responsive feel on putts and chips that many players prefer for control around the green.
• Noticeable spin performance from wedge and iron shots thanks to the Spin Skin with SeRM urethane coating.
• Good visibility in yellow and an improved alignment stamp that helps with putting accuracy.
• Balanced three-piece design that retains decent distance without sacrificing short-game touch.

Cons

• Not the ideal choice for very high swing speeds seeking the absolute maximum ball speed from a firmer core.
• Prior generation model means newer iterations may offer incremental refinements in feel or construction.
