I'm looking for info on your newest ball, the Pinnacle Dimension. I was disapointed that it wasn't mentioned here.

I have been playing about two years. I shoot mid 80's all the time never broke 80. I have shot 80 like 50 times lol. i always use titleist pro v1's. right now they are to much cash so I tried the FX soft gold. First round out I hit a drive 305 longest drive I ever hit. Second round this week shot a 78. So needless to say 15 balls were like 14 bucks I am using these forever!

Also when you lose one you dont feel as bad as losong a pro v1.

I've tried them all...Bridgestone, Titleist, Callaway, Hogan, Taylor Made, Maxfli...NOTHING beats the Pinnacle Gold FX Soft or FX Long....Hey guys!, save your money and buy a ball that's as good as any out there...by the way, I am 67 years old, average 240 yds. off the tee and have a four handicap...just got over total knee replacement and lower back surgery...Pinnacle is just gonna make my game better!!!

I play the FX Soft or the Pro V1 fairly often. The FX soft goes about the same length, and feels great. the difference is two-fold:
1. when i hit an approach shot from 100+ yards to pin-height, the Pro-V will spin back 15 feet, often off the green. when i hit the Pinny FX soft, it just stops with no back-up. I play to the pin, so this works out better for me.
2. Around the greens, when hitting the flop-a-dopalous, the pinny won't bite like the Pro-V (which will positively STOP on a dime). THe Pinny just has to be played to trickle, which isn't that bad- until i forget to play it that way...

Its a great ball for $1 each, no doubt about it. it gets even better when they go on sale at Walmart for $10 for the 15 pack...

I have a slow swing speed of about 75 MPH, 200 yds being a good drive for me. Is the Pinnacle Gold FX Soft an appropriate ball for me?

Ok, just spent a weekend in Lansing, Mich, and I played the FX Soft for the first time. I was playing the TP D2, but it didn't feel right-I mean it was ok off the tee, as long as you didn't sky it-around the green it was pretty good, I just couldn't get a consistent feel for this ball. So i tried the FX Soft, and the first time I teed it up and hit it I was comfortable. Great distance-very predictable ball flight-great feel around the greens-putts like a dream. My putting accuracy went through the roof. Played 4 rounds in 3 days-every day this ball performed like the last-consistent feel, even with temperature changes through the day. It,s my new ball for now, as I have tried quite a few this season(some $$$$), as I do tend to loose a few now and again, can become quite expensive.

Just played the FX Gold FX long today....have not hit a ball that far in a long time and in upstate NY where temp was around 50 degrees all day. Hit a couple drives over 300. Also hit a 5 iron into a par 3 about 175 and ball stopped 3 feet from mark. Buy them.

I have played the previous Pinnacle Long Drive (Gold) ball since they first came out and I have converted many Pro V1 players to this ball. At my swing speed (92-94) they are longer than the Pro V1 with great feel. Hard to believe that the new balls can improve on the Long Drive ball but I'm looking forward to trying them.

If the Pinnacle Long Drive FX is any better than the old Long Drive model, they will be remarkable. I just started playing the old ones, and absolutely love them. They are very lively, but also have a moderately soft feel. Their trajectory is also quite stable and consistent, and they hold the green on iron shots with no problem. They're so good, I asked my family for a 15 pack for my upcoming birthday. Now, with the new FX, I'll have to alter my request a bit.
I really like the Pro V1s, but as a notorious tightwad, I will not play them as a matter of principle. Too expensive, and with less pricey balls as good as the Pinnacle Long Drive, there's no need to shell out three and a half bucks a ball. Thanks, Pinnacle.
