Behind the Scenes at the Pinnacle TV Shoot


View slideshow

Remember how excited you got when you heard the distant sounds of an approaching ice cream truck? The neighborhood would screech to a halt as ears perked up,
gauging the speed, direction and proximity of the truck and how much time one had to sprint home and scrape together enough money for a toasted almond, strawberry shortcake or some strange, blue alien-shaped treat. Without fail, you would also hear children scream in unison: “ice cream man!!” Imagine golf balls that generate that same sense of excitement and you have a glimpse into the new Pinnacle television ads. Featuring Pinnacle Distance Team members Brian Pavlet and Jason Zuback, the first spot will air this Saturday, October 6 on The Golf Channel during the telecast of the Valero Texas Open. Take a look at the slideshow and video to get a glimpse behind the scenes at the Pinnacle TV shoot.
