Vice Pro Plus Golf Balls (One Dozen)

Product Information

In each scenario, the goal was to replicate as best as we could the launch conditions for golfers within the target range.

If a ball can satisfy these conditions and save me up to 50% on price, I’m in. Vice Golf Balls Review: First Impressions The data collected during this tests suggests that the Vice Pro Plus and Titleist Pro V1x offer similar performance. Differences while generally minimal are most pronounced when comparing spin across irons and wedges.Golfers in this swing speed range often benefit from higher launch with more spin so low-compression balls are not always the best option. The Vice Pro features a three-piece construction with a cast urethane cover, an ionomer mantle layer, and a highly resilient core. For this year’s test, we switched from a 7-iron to an 8-iron and moved our wedge distance to 55 yards. Our hope was that with the higher-lofted clubs and shorter wedge shots, we’d see greater spin differentiation through the bag. While some balls like the Kirkland Performance+ and Mizuno RB Tour X are unquestionably a better fit for a niche segment of golfers, that doesn’t mean they’re inherently bad. As with your driver and irons, golfers should look for a ball that provides the optimum combination of ball speed, trajectory and spin. HIGH SWING SPEED RESULTS Our Top Recommendations for High Swing Speed Golfers

Also interesting that some of the softer models were faster/longer than expected. Lots of good options, it’s just finding what works best for you.When I see two balls with almost identical launch numbers but one is the #1 ball in carry distance (100 mph swing) and the other 6 yards shorter I’m left believing there were environmental factors at play in addition to any aerodynamic differences due to dimple design: The additional mantle layer contributes to a higher initial ball speed, leading to more distance off the tee. So yes, putting is a major factor, but I have adjusted to it and have found my new play ball. Not hurting my hand, giving great distance and accuracy, and now improved putting is obviously nice. (Nope, the BX is too hard for me and I feel it in my hands.) The urethane cover still provides ample greenside control, ensuring the ball remains versatile across different situations. Who Can Use It?

Let’s face it, there’s a certain prestige to playing a ProV1. You just feellike a better golfer when you’re gaming one (even if it was that one you found in the woods off the 12th tee). Finding the right ball is a process so start with a few you think might work. If you’ve got a launch monitor, use it to trim the list. If you don’t have access to a launch monitor, our data should help you narrow the field. Test on the course and side by side. For the best comparison, don’t test more than two balls at a time. Great examination. There is no perfect test for all speeds and conditions. We all have to be aware that the desert makes everything longer and everyone needs to consider it. But that said this gives us an excellent look into the characteristics of these balls. The ONE thing that can’t be read into these results are dispersion in various wind conditions other than thinking that more spin can mean more dispersion but dimple patterns have a huge affect on this. This can also have a great affect distance. For most of the last two decades the Titleist ProVs were usually longer downwind than the others, but they had more side drift than others of similar spin from Bridgestone and TaylorMade, the ProVs were also shorter into notable winds.. Nearly every box of balls provides some description of the launch characteristics of the balls. Low, mid and high are what golfers understand and expect but, as with many things in golf, those descriptions are grossly over-simplified.VICE Golf Pro and Pro Plus golf balls provide golfers with Tour-level performance at a price below the big name competitors. Loads of color options, especially in the Pro model. Both the VICE Pro and Pro Plus use an “extra-thin cast urethane cover for maximum feel and short game spin.” In my launch monitor testing, I found that both are comfortably in the expected range of other Tour-style balls for wedge spin.
