Long game
The retained human cohort places driver spin and trajectory low, with distance below the middle band. Higher-speed observations showed different flight behaviour and cannot be merged with this test.

Q-STAR TOUR
Q-STAR TOUR Generation 6 offers a soft-feeling three-piece urethane option. Its retained low-spin, low-flight profile is a starting point for comparison, with other tester results showing why the flight needs checking for your delivery.

Performance profile
What the reviewed evidence tells us.
Control and feel
Soft feel is supported, but the partial-wedge control assessment is below the middle band. A urethane cover does not eliminate differences between testers or guarantee a top spin rating.
