Summary: I boiled a pinnacle golf ball and found out where the true center was. It was very interesting to find the center was not where you thought the center was. I also boiled 3 other brands not mentioned here and they all had different spacing and size of holes around the true center of them also. Has anyone else tried this? I have wormed up ball before to play on a cold day but never boiled them. DON'T do it if you want to use them later because it wrecks them!!!!!!!!!! But it is interesting.

Shoots in the 70s
Model Reviewed: Pinnacle Exception
Summary: I read a number of reviews on this site and to be fair i was a little synical, but i thought what the heck, i am sick of loosing Pro V1s, Dt Carrys etc so i thought i would give the Pinnacle Exceptions a try. I am converted, 1st tee i drove 15m further than my normal drive and had to decide how to play out of a fairway bunker that i had never been able to reach. The par 4 at my club is around 355m which is around 390 - 400 yards, after latching on to a good drive, i had less than 20m to the green, my playing partners could do nothing but shake their heads. On the 10th which is a short par 4 315m, i gave it everything, dead straight and ended up on the front edge of the green, i was truly stunned.
This ball goes for ever and straight, soft feel off the face, chips ran true even got some bite back with a high pitched 8 iron, putts rolled true and again felt soft of the putter face. I cannot say enough about this ball, i am truly a convert, you can keep your high end pro V1s and Callaways, i will never buy anything else, i have just re ordered another 3 dozen. Well done Pinnacle.

Summary: I recently bought a 24 pack of PE because I was told they are "poor man's Pro-V". I was a premium ball man until now.
Wow these ball feel similar to the pro v1 with more spin than a pro v1x. I am hitting my irons 12 to 20 yrds further but I'm not sure if it is the ball or recent swing changes.
In the past 2 wks I have shot 3 of my best rounds with this ball, 69, 68, 66. The only problem, if there is one, is I went from hitting a 60 degree wedge 85yds to 105 and I'm struggling in that 80yd range.
The ball is great, performs around the greens, spins with the irons and flies true. I don't know how an amatuer can justify playing or paying for anything else.

Summary: I recently tried one of my students balls while out on a playing lesson and I could not believe the name and make when I got up to the green.
The pinnacle exeption felt every bit as good as my callaway staff ball I have tried it several times since then with great results .A great ball for all skill levels at a very affordable price

Summary: Many reviewers are making comparisons between the Pro V1/v1x and the Pinnacle Exception. And again, there is no Pro V1-killer and the Exception doesn't really compare. If you have the tons of cash and shoot in the 60s/70s, it's the ball of choice period. Most of are neither rich nor real good, so the Pinnacle Exception fits the bill fine.
For 4-5 dollars a dozen, the Pinnacle Exception is an amazing ball. Very long (hit my first 300+ yard drive with this ball) and straight. The Feel putting is pretty good as well. The spin-ability of the ball is rather average, as I can't seem to get a great backspin on the ball. Nevertheless, it bites and is comparable to the NXT spin-wise. Certainly much better than the Top Flite D2 or other distance ball spin-wise.
Worth the price, the exception (bought 4 dozen) be my summer ball. High-ball flight might not be great for other seasons, we will see.
