What ball could you compare the PE's too? I hear it is the poor mans Pro V, which I play the V1's and V1x's along with NXT Tour's. Any reviews on the PE's would be appreciated.

I wouldn't call them the poor man's ProV...

I have used them in the past several times after finding them out on the course (a bad golfer at the course must have been using them as I found a bunch), and they are decent. But I thought they didn't have too much feel and were a little harder than I like. However, I have never played a brand new one before, so take that with a grain of salt.

I think it´s a very underrated ball. I have tried more than 20 balls last year and the Pinnacle Exception is up to now one of three balls I use for "every day". Very long and straight of the tee and good/mid spin with wedges. Putting is nice.

I've played the Exception for the past year, during the winter months and when I'm not playing particularly well. If I'm going to lose a ball, I don't mind losing $1 balls, I hate losing $4 balls. It's very long from the tee, decent around the greens. While Z-stars are my favourite premium ball, the Exception is one of the best values available (double dozens for $25Cdn @ GolfTown).

I am curious about this ball cuz my home course has a bargain bucket with brandnew ones that you can buy for 1.50$$

i asked about them when i was there today using the range and the guy said they are ok... but not great balls to use..

I used them a few rounds and it is a lackluster ball.   Doesn't do anything good or bad on contrary to its name.

Never tried the Exception but every pinnacle I've ever hit felt like a hard piece of plastic. I much prefer buying a decent recycled ball to the cheap rocks you get new at the same or similar price point. Ball of choice right now is recycled DT solos, bought 60 of them for $40 shipped. Kicks ass on anything pinnacle ever produced.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
