...in the USA and Europe) is a Japanese manufacturer called Srixon. (Sumitomo Rubber Industries)
They are not inexperienced in the making of golfballs however, as they have been one of the leading manufacturers in the Far East since as far back as the 1930’s, when they made Dunlop, Slazenger, and Maxfli golfballs under licence.
Nowadays they are part of the Adidas/Taylor Made Group of companies, and their own brand Srixon golfballs are to be found wherever golf is played.
~ ~ In common with most other golfball manufacturers, they make a range of golfballs to suit different types of golfers

On it it says: "Pinnacle 3" (turn around) "Gold~Distance" (Whatever that means) and (turn around) Pinnacle 3 again.
(Eyes stop spinning)

...Bay, as none of your recommendations were worth a light!"
PRO: "I'm telling you Ken. Try out the new Cleveland. There's a heap of demo clubs you can try out for free over in the corner. You'll regret it if you don't."
KEN: "Free you say? That's a new one for you Tommy lad! Ah go on then. I'll humour you so long as it's costing me nowt. But don't expect a sale out of it. I'm striping my old Taylormade driver long and straight as an arrow at the moment."

(Bend in the fairway) I tee up my ball, take my usual swing, and it flies of the club face like an Atlas rocket, straight up the middle and well past the dog leg in the fairway some 290 yards in the distance!
