Pinnacle announces debut of new flagship Gold golf ball models

(FAIRHAVEN, Mass.) - Pinnacle understands golfers' passion for the game and how important confidence is to playing well. While they want powerful distance, golfers also want a golf ball with great feel and short game control. A long-standing leader in the distance and value golf ball category, Pinnacle streamlines its previous four-model family into one performance target. Pinnacle Gold delivers powerful distance and soft feel along with exceptional quality and consistency, without breaking the bank. The new Pinnacle product line is offered in four options: Pinnacle Gold in Bright White and High Optix Yellow; and Pinnacle Gold Ribbon in Bright White and Clear Pearlescent Pink.

"The technology behind the New Pinnacle Gold delivers the best combination of powerful distance and soft feel," said Michael Mahoney, Director of Golf Ball Product Management, Acushnet Company. "Golfers looking for a simple choice do not have to trade-off distance for feel, as the new Gold golf ball is our best performing Pinnacle ever. The only choice a golfer needs to make is which color to play."
