Since 2001 when the original Noodle burst onto the golf scene, the Noodle name has been synonymous with the phrase 'long and soft. The Al Dente Noodle will allow a much wider range of players to enjoy the long-and-soft qualities associated with the Noodle name. The two-piece Al Dente Noodle was produced with distance in mind. A firm, high-flex modulus cover works with the core to give maximum initial velocity off the driver. In addition, the dynamics of the cover and core also work together to deliver low driver-spin, which is essential to generating driver distance. Despite these characteristics the Al Dente Noodle still feels and sounds soft at impact, thanks to the sophisticated formulations of the cover and core. The Al Dente works particularly well for players with slower swing speeds, especially women, who should enjoy the way this ball combines improved distance with a soft feel.
