Ball: Srixon Distance vs Pinnacle Gold FX Soft

[Replay]

Hi All,

Got a question re: golf balls

Which is the better ball: Srixon Distance or Pinnacle Gold FX Soft?

Thanks in advance for replies!

I found a Pinnacle Gold FX soft once. I played it at a crappy muni. I played rather well until I hit it OB on a horrible over-swing tee shot. I liked it.

Hi All,

Neither: If your looking for a decent 'cheap' ball Noodle Softest, of Srixon AD333 Anything with the word distance, titanium, long, and etc... are typically hard and in my opinion difficult to play with

I have a buddy that swears by the Pinnacle Gold FX Soft balls. They're actually not total rocks. They have a bit of give to the cover. I have no idea about the Srixon Distance.

Not a good rule to follow. One example is the Nike Power Distance Soft (green); they feel a little softer than the AD333s to me. (I'm rotating between both right now because of discount prices).

I'm going to try the Pinnacle, just for something different.

I played a bit with the pinnacle gold soft. I think it's a serviceable cheaper ball. OK off the putter, not too harsh off the longer clubs and it takes more spin on half shots than the e6+ I'm gaming at the moment. I don't find them that durable though a full wedge shot will graze the cover up a fair bit.

Not sure about the srixon ball.
