Given the nature of direct-to-consumer business, we can’t be absolutely sure but it stands to reason that Vice is among the most popular brands in its segment. It’s fair to say its balls have been among the most requested for Ball Lab. Its cast urethane cover and additional ionomer mantle layer contribute to higher initial ball speed, increased distance, and enhanced durability. This is coming from a mid handicap player so keep that in mind. If you’re a higher handicap or beginner then I’d recommend you go with something else but if you like the ProV golf balls and want something cheaper then they could be for you. Both the 2016 and new 2020 Vice Pro models rate as “fair” (below average) relative to the other balls in our database. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of these two popular golf balls, comparing their performance, characteristics, and suitability for a host of golfers. Vice Pro Review:

As MyGolfSpy testing shows, ball speed is not the only way to achieve distance. It can also be done through spin reduction. While it’s unquestionable that soft golf balls are slow, soft balls also don’t spin. This is welcome news for golfers who prefer the softest feel possible without sacrificing performance. For these players, the Vice Pro Soft is a three-piece cast urethane ball that provides premium performance with a lower compression number. Whether you have a slightly slower swing or just prefer a softer feel, the Pro Soft could be the best Vice golf ball for you. The urethane cover provides a soft, responsive touch, while the ionomer mantle and resilient core work in tandem to optimize energy transfer and reduce spin on longer shots. How did I like them? The Vice Pro Plus golf balls performed really well for me and I found them pretty similar to the ProV1x balls from Titleist. The distance was just as long as some of the higher-end balls and they didn’t launch as high (which some lower handicaps will like). The only downside is that you have to buy in bulk to get them cheap and the durability isn’t as good as it should be. The first aspect to examine when comparing the Vice Pro and Pro Plus is their respective construction. So, if you want more stopping power on the greens, you may want to go with the Pro Plus. It’s slightly harder than the Vice Pro and will give you that advantage when playing. Performance

Long Game

Moreover, the Pro Plus exhibits a lower, more penetrating ball flight, which can be advantageous in windy conditions. The True Price will always be equal to or greater than the retail price. The greater the difference between the retail price and the True Price, the more you should be concerned about the quality of the ball.

What probably earns Vice balls a plus point is their great value for money, their “direct to consumer” approach, their great performance and their great customization options. The Vice Pro is an exceptional three-piece golf ball that delivers an optimal balance of feel, control, and distance.One other issue is the availability of the balls. Since they’re are much cheaper than premium balls and perform equally well, they sell out pretty fast. Others meanwhile have nullified this claim, stating that while the ball performs great, it is not extra ordinary.

They weren’t the most forgiving ball on the market but I’ll definitely say they were more forgiving than a ProV (for me anyway). I’m not saying that’ll be the case for you but it was for me and I’ve read other people say the same. Conversely, the Vice Pro Plus is better suited to golfers seeking maximum distance without sacrificing control. If you’re looking for golf balls to buy, the market is replete with options. This sometimes leaves golfers with the arduous task of choosing the perfect ball for their game.As it turns out, we bought our samples of the original Vice Pro just before the new models came out. Rather than publish data on an out-of-date model, we decided to wait until we could get the new models for comparison. With COVID messing with the supply chain, it took us a while. The four-piece construction and additional ionomer mantle layer contribute to a higher ball speed and lower spin rate.
