To be honest you will be the best judge of how they go by getting out and using them. Regard Mailman

How many balls in a case? How do you get someone to give you a case of balls? :-) I only play tour quality balls for their spin characteristics, so the SFT would be out. I read one review that said around the greens they have a harder feel that Pinnacle. Pinnacles are rocks, so I'd be scared to hit one of these. :-D

I relate everything to beer. There's 24 beers in a case. The box of balls had 8 sleeves in the box. There are 3 balls in a sleeve. Thus, 8 x 3 = 24. See, how I did that? My friend gave them to me. He only plays tour balls. He was won the case in a raffle at a scramble. If they are harder than Pinnacle, then I probably won't use them. As a high handicapper, there's nothing more frustrating than finally hitting a good approach shot to watch it fly off the green.

SFT screams "soft" I don't know if that's the case. I find them all the time but never use them so I am basically wasting your time reading this..... Sorry! :-D

Is there anything harder than a Pinnacle? :-)

I've found those on occasion.  They seem like the typical distance ball.  Pretty straight, doesn't spin much, but doesn't putt too bad.  Not total rocks (which is kind of my opinion of Pinnacles).

    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
