Strength:

The game started, and tstoto
made his first shot with full concentration. The golf ball glides beautifully through the air before landing on the fairway with incredible precision. He smiled with satisfaction seeing his good shot.

Weakness:

No weaknesses. All very good.

The ball is soft...flies far (with little side spin), and sits down quickly on the greens. Putts nice..soft off the putter and chips pretty good.

Played one ball the entire round and showed very little wear. Great ball for the price.

It's going to be funny when I go to the first tee playing a Pinnacle when all of my buddies tee up their ProV's.

Nike PD Soft, but spins more on approach shots. Does not spin like ProV's, but they are not bad for what you they cost.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I started playing this ball when it was first introduced. I beleive, without a doubt, this is this best ball for the money. I have played many different brands of ball in the last thirty four years, and this has been the best performer overall. Long off the driver, and stops fairly well on the greens. It does not stop or draw back like a ProV1, but is more durable. I find that playing the Exception on par four, and fives, and the ProV1 on par threes works great. That way the ProV1's last much longer.

Never used, but they are a Titleist product.
