    Question Pinnacle Golf Balls ?!?

    Has anyone played a Pinnacle lately? On a recent trip, I found a Pinnacle Power-Core and an Exception while searching for my ball in the woods. As punishment, I decided to play them until I could hit a bloody fairway. I was shocked - they were actually pretty good - much better than the rock-hard, pocket-rocket balls that I remembered. Anyone had a similar experience with these balls? It could just be my buttery soft Apex Plus irons making a rock ball feel pretty decent.

    The Exceptions especially are nice balls, quite soft. You can get great deals on these from Knet, I think they had a special on a few months ago for $8/dzn mint. I don't like the Golds though.

    The Golds are rocks. They are long (longer than a Pro V), but useless around the greens. On the flip side the lack of spin keeps some errant shots in play a bit more! I actually used one on Friday at Le Diable in Tremblant in the rain and did well as I was hitting GIRs gallore and the greens were soft. But when I had to chip, it was ugly. Have not tried the others.

    I normally play Pro V's but decided to try out a Pinnacle Exception this past week in PEI. I played three rounds with one ball and i must say i was really impressed with it. Incredibly durable, looooong off the tee and a good amount of spin around the greens. Overall i think this is going to be my official backup ball from now on!

    I have been playing the Exception for a year and I have no intention of switching. Less expensive, softer, longer, and more durable than the Strata Tour Ultimates I used to play
    Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

    I am a "Pinnacle" girl all the way although I don't prefer the women's balls they just don't fly as far. Haha am surprised at the amount of pinnacle player's in here so far. I have gotten some awsome deals from ebay on pinnacle's my last score was 80 pinnacle's for $5.00 then $15.00 shipping, but still a very good deal and all the balls were in excellent shape!!

    Any of you play the Exceptions and the new TopFlite D2? Any comments as to which is longer, softer and better around the greens?

    I've played the Pinnacle Exception for the last 2 years. I like them.
    Kind regards, Harry
