Damn. Looks like it's going to be a hurry towards the rush then.

Every golfer for themselves?

for those that have played the new Rush ball, does it feel softer than the PG and is distance similar? too bad the new pinnacle soft doesn't come in yellow

[Cal54]

I have played a few rounds with the rush now and it feels a tad softer than the pg but seems just as long but not real noticable! Seems like it holds the greens better also and is great when putting!

That sounds encouraging :)

I have played the Pinnacle Gold almost exclusively the last couple years. Does everything I need a golf ball to do at my skill level. Can find them easily and they are Made in the USA which is a bonus for me.

 

 

I picked up a dozen of the new Pinnacle Rush. I have them used them for 3 rounds very similar to the Pinn Gold. Maybe a tad softer. Putt and chips well. No issues with it and it will be my new ball.

 

Went to the Pinnacle website and do not see Pinn Gold listed, so it looks as if the Rush is my new ball.

I played 27 today with the Yellow Rush. Around the green it was decent. I found it to be long with the driver and other woods. Soft enough and does not explode off the putter. Calls SSoft is guilty of that many times in a round. I did a quick test after my round.

 

Volvik crystal,titleist tour S,cally super soft,pinnacle rush.

All yellow balls. The Rush was longest from the tee by an average of 6 yards. My gamer the super soft was second place followed closely by the Volvik.

Definitely gaming these tomorrow. Very straight ball flight as well. Chips seemed to spin a little more than the Super soft

I am thinking of making the Gamer Soft my full time choice we will see after I can get on the course with all this weather.

[golfcaddy1969]

I may check out the gamer soft as well. From most "expert"advice I fall into the mid compression range. I have had several super softs almost explode on me after a few rounds. I am not a big hitter. I want to try a mid compression ball for a change.

 

Ok my mistake. I meant the Gamer. The soft is a low compression ball.

Neither am I but in 1 round I got solid distance with it & it landed soft on hard greens.............need more time with it though.

ready to pull the trigger on these, but now thinking maybe the maxfli softfly in orange. hmmm? think there'd be a huge difference?

Saw Maxfli now has something called speedfli now, not sure what that brings to the table

I know I saw them in the store............won't buy them but the box did stand out.

I have the Maxfli Orange softfli's. The distance is awesome and it is straight. There is no spin around the green and there's not much feel to the ball. The orange color is nice. But, I prefer yellow, Overall, not a bad cheap ball. But, nothing great either.

[golfcaddy1969]

Another 18 holes with the Rush. I am impressed. Just a better ball than my beloved Supersoft. Much better off the putter. Longer for me with the Driver as well. The only problem I have is chipping. Use a high lofted wedge and it is fine but it definitely does not spin a lot but the positives far out weigh the negatives for my game. It was still raining and wet today,my drives were still rolling out. Super impressed.

[just plain bill]

awesome news!

[just plain bill]

think ill send a box to jordan...

[golfcaddy1969]

Bill if you have not tried the Rush then pick up a sleeve. I think they are better than the gold. At least for my game. The gold seemed to balloon on me at times. This may be the first time that a Pinnacle ball becomes my gamer in 7 years.

He's never looked comfortable the last 3 days...............little to no confidence in any shot

[LightBearer]

I will have played two rounds (9 holes each) to start my season with the Rush and will post some thoughts tomorrow evening against the previous gamer, Gold.

[ob18]

How is the rush with side spin off the driver?

[LightBearer]

So heres my review of the Pinnacle Rush, a ball I have played with now for three nine hole rounds.

 

Myself: A mid to high handicap player, slower swing speed around 89-92. I play distance balls because Im a better player around the greens than other parts of my game. Balls I have played previously: Pinn Gold, Z Star SL, 50 Elite, Duo. The main theme is yellow balls that benefit slower swing speeds.

 

Long Game(Outside 160): Rush gives a mid-high launch with good run out. Slightly more height than the Gold, distance maybe 5 yards either way.

 

Perimeter(90-160): Rush launches higher here, I would describe the flight a little like 50 Elite, maybe lower for these shots 7i-GW

 

"Not Far Away": Chipping and Pitching produces a higher flight than Gold, direction feels true. Ball checks quicker than Gold, feel is maybe a couple hairs softer than Gold.

 

Putting: I play a milled 8802 putter and am no great putter myself, but here are my impresions. A definitive improvement over Gold is the feel, roll off the Rush. It's softer, runs it's line truer, and comes off slightly less quickly than Gold.

 

Aesthetics: The logos are bolded and the yellow color is deep and very easy to see. The graphics overall, are welcomed.

 

Overall: I am happy with the Rush, it's a ball that gives me more distance and less sidespin than other balls. Maybe doesn't go quite as low and straight as Gold, but also wont run out the boundry like Gold seems to do for a good while. Irons and on give a higher launch, less runout which is welcomed. Putting is much better, as I think that was the main improvement they were after.

 

Thanks for reading, any more specific questions I would be happy to give some insight.

Thanks for the review. How do you like the Rush vs the 50 Elite?

[LightBearer]

They play a little differently. 50E checks better with long irons and on chips, and Rush performs better off the tee box. The margins arent great though. I would happily game either one.

[NoTalentLefty]

After all the hype on the Rush, my testing shows it to hit high. I prefer the Titleist DT TruSoft in the Acushnet lines.

[abel88]

just got a dozen of the rush gonna put them up against my topflite d2 feel!!

[baaron008]

I haven't played the new Pinnacle. However, I am a hacker and Just Plain Bill convinced me to give Pinnacle Gold a shot. Boy do I love those golf balls! (I bought 6 15 packs at a local shop for 70 dollars!)

[just plain bill]

they are amazing! i'll be stocking up next payday! and i mean i'm buying every box in the county!

[baaron008]

At a certain point about two weeks ago, I reached a critical time period in my life: I now think aboubt buying new golf equipment every day. I cannot go into a store that sells golf balls without at least looking. And if I see any pinnacle gold I will buy them!
