Distance
A 2-piece ionomer (durable, firm cover) distance ball with a soft compression core and aerodynamically-tuned dimple pattern designed for maximum distance and durability at an exceptional price point.
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 Distance is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize high handicap, budget friendly, distance, durability. In the Srixon lineup, the Distance sits firmer than the Srixon UltiSpeed and softer than the Srixon Z-Star.
Feel
With a compression of 89 and a ionomer cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.
Spin Profile
Expect low driver spin for more carry and roll — forgiving of minor strike inconsistency. Around the green, the cover gives you workmanlike short-game spin — not tour-grade, but dependable for chips and pitches.
Trajectory & Construction
A high-launching ball — better for golfers who struggle to get the ball up or want maximum carry. The 2-piece construction uses a straightforward two-piece build — a large core for distance and a cover tuned for durability over spin separation. Works best in warmer conditions.
Price & Value
At $19.99 per dozen, the Distance is a value pick. Expect distance and durability over tour-grade wedge spin.
Buy it if
- You sit in the 90–105 mph range and want a ball that works across your bag.
- You slice or hook under spin and want a ball that amplifies your good drives.
- You lose more than a sleeve a round and don’t want to grimace every time.
Skip it if
- You score in the 70s and greenside spin is your scoring advantage.
- You’re playing below 50°F — consider a softer-feeling ball in the cold.
