Pinnacle is a well known golf gear manufacturer who received a well-deserved reputation for their golf-balls, i.e. a nice combo of distance and value. For the current year, 2016, we're in for a pleasant surprise from Pinnacle, as they've just hit the market with 2 new models, the Pinnacle Rush and Soft Golf balls
. Both are longer (as in yardage) yet a little bit softer than the precedent generation, and that's great in my book. The new kids on the block are built using Pinnacle's proprietary ionomer cover technology, along with the extremely vivid low-compression core, aimed at boosting the ball's speed upon impact and, in the same time, minimizing the spin. The difference between the Rush and the Soft is that the former is built with an emphasis on distance, in the traditional sense of the word, nothing spectacular, having a firmer cover and a higher compression core, whilst the latter is marketed as being the softest Pinnacle ever made, combining a low compression core and a very soft ionomere cover.
For providing you with a predictable trajectory and a penetrating flight, both models are built around Pinnacle's icosahedral dimple construction.
Needless to say, the Rush and the Soft are engineered using Pinnacle's state of the art manufacturing process, the same one used in their Titleist range, and they're available in white/yellow for the Rush and white/pink for the Soft ($16 per dozen).
