Pinnacle Rush-Made in the USA @ same Titleist factory. Robot test showed it delivers in distance/spin. Should work for most golf courses unless it's 11-13 green speed.
I just went to Walmart yesterday and they had five brand new 2-dozen packs of the Wilson Zip. Not sure what is going on with it, but they have to still be making them. Very excited to see where my favorite ball lands (and I have you to thank for finding it).
Yeah it's good stuff. If you ask Wilson they say it's not in development anymore, but yet they still have billions of packs to sell. Not sure if they just ordered way too many or if they're fibbing
@@GolfBallAddict I’ll forgive Wilson because I love their company. The Dynapower is my driver (favorite by far) and the Zip is my ball. Looking into their hybrids next 👍
Everytime I hear you mention Legato the STYX song Mr Roboto starts running through my head endlessly! 🎼 "Thank you very much Mr. Lagato (Roboto) Thank you very much ..thank you." 🎼Now it's stuck there for probably days! 🤖 Another great video from the Nick "Hit factory"
@@GolfBallAddict Ha Ha, not gross per se. Actually kind of cute. But certain words sound unsavory; phlegm, pus, Diarrhea and Squishy Competishy. Whatever it's called I'm here for it! Super interested in your results. Keep up the great work.
Love the channel, hate the ranking of the straightfli only because of the balls that was ranked higher. Value has to be a bigger factor in some cases cause this ball pound for pound value wise is better than all those balls in the 20's. Less then 15$ a dozen and will perform better then anything that was in that list
No offense but I feel like such a nerd because I waited for this all day. Am I the only one??? You know what...I don't care. Screw it. I waited all day and IDGAF. I am a nerd.
gonna try me some Legato's in yellow me thinks was gonna go with the new PXG Extreme yellow ball or the Lime Vice Pro Air I am 60 years old play off a 9 handicap did some speed training over the winter my swing speed has gone from 90-94 to 94 - 98 mph feelin great and faster golf season can not get here soon enough I enjoy all your videos keep up the good work cheers from Vulcan Canada
Love the OnCore golf balls. I’ve had exclusive relationships with the Elixir, X1, and X2 at different times in the last two years. Very quality packaging and premium feel. I think I like the X1 the best. You’ve gotta play them on courses to experience thier straight flight, distance and spin. There’s something about the perimeter weighting and metal somewhere in one of the layers. If they are this far down on the list that means there’s some very good balls further on your list. Looking forward to seeing the Maxfli tour s a top of your list. I’m loving them so far on the simulator. Can’t wait for the weather to break here in the Cincinnati area to get them on the course.
Back in the very early 80's we all used Pinnacles. They were considered somewhat premium balls. We could get the Titleist DT or balata Titleis but they wore badly. The Topflites were like rocks. Pinnacles had great distance and could hold on the greens in those days.
Don’t listen to them Nick I love the music. Would you still recommend the straightfli and pinnacle rush for 115 mph speed who needs a forgiving, cheap, two piece balls? I loose golf balls so I don’t mind sub par durability
I love the Legato, I honestly think you had a bad day swinging the hybrid, but you've gotta use the numbers that you have. Didn't unsubscribe, but made me hover the mouse over the button...LOL
I like the straight fli. bought a dozen for myself and another for my son. He often times hits a slice, and he's able to keep the ball in play more often with this ball. I find it explosive off the club face, and it's a good straight distance ball. It also explodes off chip shots and putts, and that's not good for me. Durability a little lacking too. I'll keep them for holes I have to carry water and marshland, otherwise I play a 3 piece.
Good video, surprised the TP5 made it as high as it did. The snell get sum will always be a special ball for me, only been playing for 7 months and that ball is awesome for starting out. Long and straight off the tee, gets a surprising amount of spin and can stick greens, and the price is great when you lose them. Not a fan of putting it but other then that a solid ball. I haven't see the durability issues but I also bought like 5 dozen months ago and am still working through them.
i have a ton of pinnacle Rush that i get thru my company and really never played them much but it looks like this year they are going to get a shot. The get sum i have been putting with Winter in Ny and actually like the way it rolls. Can’t wait for the top “19” lol and the Rapsodo giveaway hopefully soon
Not a silly question. I don't think it affects the performance as long as it is warmed back up. I would definitely let those golf balls be warmed up somehow. Maybe put them in a blanket or something for a few days. But once they're back they should be fine
I'm glad the Legato is where it is. Like I get that it's a good ball or whatever, but I'm so sick of hearing about it 😅 Getting down to the wire now! I didn't realize the Avant 55 was so good too! I'm gonna have to try that one. I've been turning into a big OnCore guy.
Great job will test a couple of this balls myself since prices are so great play Legato ball it is a great ball dump the hybrid and go to a seven wood you won’t regret it
DANG! I didn't realize the Cut DC had a durable cover. I didn't get any to try because of how bad the Blue did. The Legato might be worth a try, too for that price, though it might be too soft with an 85 compression.
@@GolfBallAddict That's right about where I'm at currently. For the price, they might be worth a shot! I do wish they had a high-visibility version, though.
You definitely want to stick to a two-piece then. Honestly what might be good is that new Pinnacle distance ball. Hopefully I can get my hands on it soon. Otherwise golf balls like the top flight bomb, the Bridgestone e9, Callaway warbird. Helps eliminate that pesky side spin
Thank you. I was thinking vice tour as well to account for at least SOME spin on the greens. But I will try those out because the difference of me being in the 70s or 80s is pretty much solely based on my tee shots
@@GolfBallAddictMy name is Craig. I would like full credit and half the $8 of revenue generated from that video sent to me 🤣 In all seriousness, you still launching the merch when you drop the Top 10 video?
This past summer, I bought some Pinnacle Exception balls from a pro shop on vacation. Never heard of it, and it was “Exceptional”. I honestly thought that’s how it got the name, but can’t find them anywhere. Were these a bad batch they sold to me for $2 each??
@@GolfBallAddict Original Exception is from around 2006-2010 era. The Platinum feel replaced it. Then the soft. Some used to say it was the same as Titleist NXT. same or similar compression, cover, etc. It was a solid ball. Logo runs may still be in shops but agree, rare to find them. Keep up the good work. The list is great so far!
I wonder too if the Pinnacle Soft and Rush balls are the same as the Titleist TruFeel and the Velocity, or if they are the previous versions of those balls or are the cores the same and a slightly different cover. Really, how different are the two Pinnacle balls from the two lowest priced ionomer Titleist golf balls? What are the compression comparisons, and one of us should cut open all four models and see what the coves look and feel like and how thick the various covers are compared to each other. Inquiring minds want to know…
Yeah I agree the music might be a little loud. But I've seen many comments that just simply claim they don't like the music. That part is completely subjective
Just picked up Cut Grey dozens yesterday for $12 a dozen. I think you will likely like the Cut Grey better, regardless of prices, but the differences in prices is quite substantial! 24 pack of Precept Extremes was on discount for $16.50 and last version of Wilson Due+ for $10.50 in white, yellow, or green. Don’t pay those ridiculous prices for the PGA Tour model balls unless you are truly a multimillionaire. P.S. The Cut Grey is a urethane cover ball and has very good spin and durability and overall playability.
1. Obnoxious “music”, sorry but would enhance experience with anything else😏, 2. MaxFli does a lot right and straightfli is a good showing in your ranking.
There should be any what ifs. The machine your testing should show ball speed and smash. You should know if it’s you. Was your speed just down that set. Or was the smash down that set.
Love losing the drum roll and adding the rock n roll. No way I'm paying $30 for a dozen Cuts of any model. Also, I'm not interested in any OnCore's - not sure why but just not. GetSum? 2 piece Surlyn? Manufacturing issues at Snell? No thanks. Surprised this is in top 25. Uneventful and disappointing 29-20. Looking for toward 19-10. Thought Legato would make top 10. Then again, I don't play a hybrid.
Love the straightfli and pinnacle rush. Perfect mix of price and performance.
Pinnacle Rush-Made in the USA @ same Titleist factory. Robot test showed it delivers in distance/spin. Should work for most golf courses unless it's 11-13 green speed.
Agree completely. There aren't really any tests that show many negatives

Great review. Thanks

Nick, Next time testing the straightfli please use the matte orange. durability is better than the gloss white by far. Thanks.
Or the matte green too. Really good durability

The Snell “Get Sum” has to be one of the stupidest names for a golf ball of all time.
Yeah the name isn't my favorite.
Think it got lost in translation from Chinese to Engrish
Yeah the name takes away from my gravitas on the golf course.
I tried the "get sum" and it did nothing for me. Slow 80-85 driver. Not for me.
Fingers crossed 🤞 for a top 10 finish!!
I'm glad your golf ball is still in the running
Thx
Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate you guys 😁
LOOOOVED the intro!!! I think "squishy competishy" need a GBA emmy award!!
Silly question, but does it hurt a golf balls performance (in the spring) if it's kept in my trunk over the winter?
Not a silly question. I don't think it affects the performance as long as it is warmed back up. I would definitely let those golf balls be warmed up somehow. Maybe put them in a blanket or something for a few days. But once they're back they should be fine

Lol love puns. Also might be generous saying little ding. There are big dings
You don’t strike me as a metalhead 🤘
I wouldn't call myself a metalhead per se, but I absolutely love some tasty guitar riffs. 🔥🎸
Why did the Pinnacle Rush drop off compared to last year?
Just more competition. More golf balls tested this year had better scores.
Any way you can make a ranking for most forgiving off the tee? I have a high swing speed but can’t keep the damn thing in the fairway
