news Double offering for 2016 from Pinnacle
T
wo new Pinnacle golf balls, engineered with proprietary core technologies, are now available for retail. The Pinnacle Rush, designed to fly further with every club, delivers
high initial velocity for distance and an advanced, icosahedral dimple design for a penetrating, consistent flight. The Pinnacle Soſt combines a high-energy, low-compression core with a soſt ionomer cover to provide an exceptionally soſt feel with low spin for long distance. “Pinnacle has been a longstanding leader in its segment of the market.
Given our extensive performance testing of these products, we expect that this lead is likely to grow,” said Michael Mahoney, the brand’s director of golf ball product management.
New Wilson Staff ball is a soft touch
Urethane model could be the world’s soſtest golf ball. This latest addition to the DX line, which also includes the 29-compression DX2 Soſt and the 35-compression DX3 Spin, certainly delivers a soſter feel while still providing distance and control around the greens. “We’ve been working on a
W
low-compression solution for urethane covers since we introduced the original DX2 a decade ago,” said Frank Simonutti, global director of innovation for Wilson Staff golf balls. “Our testing has consistently shown that most golfers prefer a soſter-feeling ball and the DX3 Urethane is unrivalled in offering the better player full control of the ball.” The new ball has been developed to match the brand’s feel, crossover and distance (F-C-D) system that offers benefits to fit individual playing styles. “The DX3 Urethane has been designed specifically for the feel player,”
said Doug Wright, Wilson Golf’s global commercial director. “Thanks to its multi-layer construction, better players can also expect Tour-quality spin and control on the greens as well as great distance.” DX3 Urethane balls are now available at an RRP of £29.99 per dozen.

Product development manager Scott Cooper said: “Pinnacle Rush is
designed to max out a golfer’s distance potential with high initial velocity off the clubface and very low spin. “Pinnacle Soſt is designed for the golfer that wants soſt feel on every
single shot. It’s the soſtest core we’ve ever manufactured, combined with one of our soſtest cover blends. Yet this is still a Pinnacle ball and when golfers tee up a Pinnacle they expect long distance.” Both balls have 332 dimples and an SRP of £15 per dozen. Pinnacle Rush
is available in optic yellow and Pinnacle Soſt in white (with black or pink numbering).
