Daniel,
The black numbers are on the Z-Star ball, and the red is on the Z-Star X ball. The Z-Star X has a firmer feel, spins a bit less and goes a bit further.

My local pro recently gave me a sleeve of the Srixon Z-Stars to try out. I was instantly impressed, the balls are long and (which I have always found to be less about the ball and more about the swing)spin hard, but most impressively are very durable. Unlike the Titleist Pro Vs, which I have been hitting since Titleist quit making the Professionals, the Z star’s cover seems to stretch and heal rather than shred off. This is a great quality if you don’t loose many balls or enjoy paying $14 a sleeve.

I started playing the Tour Yellows as soon as they became available at our course and have been hitting them quite well. I’m sure its all mental but I do find the yellow/green cover comforting to look at.

I noticed that the number on the Tour Yellow ball at the top of the screen is black, instead of red which is the color of the ones I have been hitting. Are they a diffrent ball? I would prefer black.

Having always liked playing a yellow ball but not being happy with the quality of available yellow balls, I immediately bought a dozen of the yellow Srixon Z-Stars. I am an 8 handicapper who does not generate a great deal of club head speed and this ball has exactly the right balance of response off the club face and spin for me.

I know you’ll think this is over the top, but I’m not kidding, I had two hole in ones the first three days I used this ball. I play skins games on an executive course so there are a number of par-3 holes. In 72 holes over three days I had two aces, including my first that actually jumped backwards into the hole. ( I now have a total of 6). Needless to say I am happy with the characteristics of this ball.

[...] My first impression of the ball was that even in 50 degree temperatures, the ball felt very soft off the putter. It’s very similar in feel to the Titleist Pro V1. What I don’t like about the V1 is it’s durability (or lack thereof) and the performance in the wind. The Callaway performed beautifully in the windy conditions that day, which was a bit of a shock. Usually a soft, high spinning ball will have a tendancy to balloon into the wind, but the Tour i(s) was solid and stable into the wind, and in cross winds the ball doesn’t budge! I hit many a solid iron shot that simply didn’t drift towards my target as I expect in a cross wind. This ball likes to fly straight when hit crisply. I also expected a ball this mushy feeling not to go, but that wasn’t the case either. This ball flew as far as any other ball I hit against it, including my current gamers, the Srixon Z-Star X Tour Yellow. [...]

John, great article. It’s so good that I’m going to post and just link to it off my site. I don’t normally do a lot of that, but I can’t improve much upon this. Nice job bud.
