The 2011 Srixon AD333 ball is the fifth generation of Srixon’s two-piece AD333 ball, and provides a bigger engine for exceptional distance and soft feel.
The highly resilient Energetic Gradient Growth Core providing maximum distance with a high launch, and low spin. The core is firm on the outer layer and becomes progressively softer towards the centre, creating explosive ball speed off the tee while also providing feel for approach shots. The AD333 features a highly resistent and soft RABALON HR and PANA TETRA blended cover, designed to provide excellent control and spin with short irons.
The thin, soft cover of the Srixon AD333 is paired with a 333 advanced aerodynamic dimple pattern that reduces drag and promotes a more penetrating ball flight.
The 2011 Srixon AD333 is designed for golfers of all abilities that produce clubhead speeds in excess of 80mph.
The Srixon AD333 golf ball has become the number one selling two piece ball in the UK and with the 2011 version it is not hard to see why. Most premium golf balls that you see on Tour require swing driver speeds of 90mph or more to deliver optimum performance, which is more than most average golfers can attain. The AD333 works best with driver swing speeds over 80mph and even the faster swingers will still get something from this ball.
The flight was very consistent and not too high and from tee to green it is a very competent performer. On and around the greens the feel was excellent with a medium soft cover that gives good feel withouth being 'clicky'. The cover is pretty durable and this is a great value for money golf ball for mid-handicappers and a good option as a firmer winter ball for single figure players.

I have to admit, I was a bit worried when Srixon brought out the new AD333 because it's predecessor was great; after all, if it 'aint broke don't fix it.
What I found was a ball that delivered what it promised!
The big boast from Srixon is it's ultra thin cover so we tried the old and the new ball side-by-side to feel if there was any difference. Almost instantly I picked up on the softer feel off the putter face from the new ball, which has always been a criticism of the AD333 from some players.
Hitting shots around the green showed similar results: no, the ball does not check up and spin gracefully back towards the pin like a z-star but it did stop shorter than I expected and there was some welcome control with the more delicate chip shots.
Finally, came the driver test. Again, l gained between 5-15 yards with the driver but the most surprising thing for me was the reduced dispersion pattern. The larger core means the ball is likely to reduce side spin so any hooked or sliced shots with the driver won't be as severely penalised.
My opinion: I think this is a great ball and truly does deliver on its promises. Anyone who currently uses an AD333 won't be disappointed with the Srixon AD333 2012 Golf Ball and anyone who wants to try them should seriously consider it, and will probably save about £10 on the nearest alternative.
