Great Video. Thank you. I am interested to see the difference of the Vice Golf Balls range. Is the Vice Pro better then a Vice Drive or Vice Tour ?
I switched to Vice balls this year from the Pro V1 and have been very happy with them.
I play the Vice Pro + in the sunset color. I am enjoying everything about it. With the sunset I am noticing that I do lose bits of color. I don't think it is less durable but with the bright orange color the lighter scuffs are more noticeable. Very solid golf ball. Maybe not as good as Pro V 1 in all aspects but I am not a good enough golfer for the differences to really show out.
I've been using the Vice Pro Plus and love them. I've had quite a few drives well over 300 yards. I like their feel and workability. I also play to a 6 handicap
I have been using the Vice Pro for about 2 years and I really really like them. The feel is as good as any ball, and for me I did not notice any spin difference. I actually did not start using them because of the cheaper price but it is certainly a perk.
Playing the vice pro soft for two years now. Neon red in summer for easy finding and neon yellow in the winter. Love them, never looked back
I'm new to golf, best round is 103 so far and I've been using a large range of balls. I've found a few of the vice balls whilst looking for my own in rough haha and they do feel nice. I'm not good enough to see a difference distance wise but the feel of them is similar to the chrome soft for me.
I've tried the entire lineup from Vice and have stuck with the Tour. I got the 5 dozen with free personalization for christmas last year and they are so easy to find and identify. Love the putting line to get the putts rolling straight. Also, big fan of the glove lineup as well. The duro's last a good while and the pure's feel amazing. The price is starting to creep up, just like with everything else, but they are still one of the best deals for golf balls on the market.
Great information for any player especially Yorkshiremen, lol great value.
Using the sunset for the '23 season and have loved them. So easy to find and I know who's closest to the pin from a mile away!
Value for money is incredible and I look like a nice guy giving away all the prov1's I find in the bushes
I've been playing vice pro soft (Neon Green) for 2 years. Love them. And with the neon green they are easy to find when I miss the fairway.
Great review. Like seed Vice and been using the TM tour response at an equall price. Have you gone back to blue from red shaft
I play the vice pro plus. I have noticed that they improved the durability about a year and a half ago and now they are truly a 1:1 replacement for half the price if you buy when they are on sale. They do go for buy two get one free at times which can get the price as low as $22 per dozen which is insane value.
I have just switched to the vice pro and got a drip colour, love them and they are definitely a quality ball when it comes to more control
Stepped up to the Vice Pro from the Kirkland balls as my game has been getting a bit better. I personally play the Drip line in red and navy as they match my bag. I have been super impressed with them. I have not noticed any scuffs or maring on the balls outside of a cart path bounce. Great video!
7 months later and I am still playing the same balls. I purchased them directly from Vice during an annual sale where if you bought 5 you got a dozen for free. This obviously made them even cheaper, but they have done it again this year as well. 6 dozen was plenty to get me through the year so I did not purchase any more, but here in the states they are in Target and Walmart stores as well if I find myself needing a couple extra until the next sale.
I use the Vice Pro Shade Red and Orange. It’s easier to track in the air and it really stands out when looking in any kind of tall stuff. I agree the Drips are hard to track and hard to find. They look almost gray. The Vice Pros do scuff fairly easily in my experience. That said, I typically go through a couple a round so it 8ant a huge deal.
Found an dark orange one in the hedge the other day :) Played all 18 with it today and still looks brand new :)
Hey Matt, I am a Vice Pro Plus Lime Green user. Love being different and the ball...well, just performs. I get mine personalized (usually for free) and every time I try another ball, end up not liking them. I had a ball fitting with Ping and the balls that came out on top for me were the Vice Pro Plus and the previous Snell balls. Three mail order balls, something the Ping guy said he had never seen before.
I've been using the Vice Pros for about two years, and I'm starting to test other golf balls because for whatever reason, I find that they react to bad strikes much worse than a proV. It's hard to explain, but a sliced vice goes that 5 extra yards into the hazard vs the ProV's that just seem to stay out.
I've been using a Srixon Z-star and have found it to be a great alternative
I've found a few Vice Pro and Pro Plus. I liked playing them for as long as it took me to lose them. I just picked up a few dozen Chrome Soft practice balls for $24.99/dozen at Dunham's in Butler, PA. They were running an in-store special. They even took my 10% discount card and the price dropped even more.
I fully agree that the colored golf balls are harder to find and for whatever reason I do not hit them well. I think it is very much a mental thing for me but my son plays Jr. PGA and he likes the colored golf ball and hits them well. Like most things in golf, I think it is just a preference thing, what works best for you. Appreciate your videos!
I have used Vice Pros for a couple of years now. I will happily use the Neon balls but I choose to play the Drip balls. Would recommend to everyone, great balls.
Thanks Matt! Yeah I’ve played Vice for about two years now. Pro Plus has been my go to, but I do enjoy the Pro Drip.
Absolutely brilliant video mate . A question at what handicap level do you think a ball makes a difference?
Hi Matt, I'm using the Vice for some years now. They had production issues a few yeas ago, but they are solved now. A good thing about this ball is also, that the packaging is way cheeper then on the Titles. And you normally just throw the package away. One bad thing is, that you can only buy them online (but get sometimes good conditions on buying - take 5 get 1 free). All in all I'm yery satisfied with the Vice and my decision to switch from ProV1.
Hi Matt, took a punt on the Vice Pro balls following your review and got say a huge thanks. Been playing Titleist AVX and found the Vice balls delivered an improvement in flight, length and feel 👍
I bought two dozen pro plus in black and gold. No real issues seeing them, and the colors are fun. Good performance all around, didn’t notice much difference from prov1x that I usually go for. From reading up on them it seems like the only way you can really separate them from the ProV is on consistency of manufacturing. Titleist has the manufacturing process dialed in to build the exact same ball every single time with basically no variance. Smaller manufacturers can’t compete with that. However, can’t say I am good enough to tell a difference from ball to ball.
Hi Matt, I'm a high handicapper, only been playing for a year (albeit in my 60's), and play a Vice Pro Soft and the "splattered" pattern golf balls do seem to be harder to find, so I play either a white or neon red ball. I've tested a lot of golf balls, Pro V included, and I've found the Vice to be longer and have a great feel. Thanks for the great test.
IMO red is also harder to find, I'd stick to white, bright yellow, or neon orange if you have trouble finding or tracking your ball.
Found one in the rough last weekend, might use it this Sunday
Been using Vice Pro for about three years. Tested the Snell also, (great ball but less durable in my opinion) and a couple of others, but settled on the Vice. Great feel and control off the irons. Plenty of stopping power and green side spin. When you purchase and get promos you get great deals also. Recently been getting 5+1 deal. So 6 dozen for the price of 5. Get onto em folks, best ball in the market I believe.
Stinks they raised their price so much.
I have been using the Vice Pro Soft for a couple of years. No regrets! Great distance with my slower swing speed.
The neon green one I want is usually sold out , the other colors I have a hard time finding in the rough.
My previous ball was a TP5; I have been playing the Vice Pro Red in the summer here in New Zealand, and I am impressed with the length and soft feel; most impressive thing is the durability; I got 3 rounds out of one ball. Love the bright red as it stands out, even in the rough, would like to try the ice blue and yellow next.
The Neon green isn't tough to find, in fact I prefer it to the white. The orange can be hard to pick in flight if the course is a bit brown.
They are a great ball! And let's face it if you want a quality ball with color options they have the market cornered. Best color options by far.
Vice Pro drip is my current ball and have been playing for over a year now. Next would be Srixon Z star. I dont have issues finding golf the drip golf balls unless its during fall when leaves are everywhere.
I like the Vice Pro but recently switched to the Vice Pro Plus. I love the performance,feel and durability as well as workability more with the plus
I use Wilson duo . I find them a lovely ball to hit not like hitting a concrete pro v.
I used to like tour balata years ago for their solf feel too.
Vice has improved durability a lot during years. I have played with them 3 years now and there is huuuuge difference. Playing with white but also with red during spring/autumn because it is actually easier to find when ground is brown/grey.
Been using these balls for some time now. My son uses the lime drip balls. He loves the distance he gets and nothing but positive remarks. He usually gets more than 2 rounds out of a ball so the they hold up very well. He really likes using while in tournaments for the different ball/distance/control appeal. I really like them for the performance vs price appeal. No problems with finding the drip balls. Wouldnt purchase the red or orange or black for the findable factor. But that can be said about any ball made in these colors.
Also we both love these for the short shots (great stopping) and the feel off the putter.
People love to compare these to the Pro V1, TP5, but price tag to price tag. You have to look alot further down the lineup in the titleist, TM, Callaway lineup to find similar pricing especially when bought in groups of 5. And those balls are not comparable to the Vice Pro at all. IMO
I have played the Vice Pro basically since they came out and have never looked back. I have played both the white and neon with no issues.
I use the Vice pro soft in Neon Lime - easiest ball to find in the rough which is crucial for me ! Great ball
I love vice balls
Especially the different versions like the drip and lime green
I play Snell but have played Vice as well. Both great balls for the price.
I know they’re all the way down in NewZealand but, there is a ball here called the Volle Origin and Atlas that are worth a look at. They’re $61 NZ but offer discount on bulk purchases as well
Hi Matt, i have used Pro V1 since they arrived ont he market. this year i have moved totally to Vice and havent noticed any problems.
I love the Vice Pro. I've been using them for two years now and wouldn't buy anything else now. Durability is the one aspect that can be an issue, but for the price difference, it's acceptable. Their best deal is that they occasionally offer a buy five dozen and you get a dozen free. They also ship orders very quickly.
I haven't played the Vice. (I typically just get whatever is "cheap", that being a relative term these days!!) But, as far as colour goes, I almost always play a yellow ball. I love it. Other colours, I've never really tried. Yellow all the way.
Been using the vice pro + for a few years now ,can’t fault them ,every bit as good as the pro v1 ,buy them in bulk for price discount .Unless your a tour pro getting free balls there’s no reason to play something like the pro v just silly prices for a golf ball .Titleist used to make the NXT tour which for its price was a great ball ,probably why they stopped doing it .I have more bad rounds than good ones these days and I don’t have to cry in my beer if I lose a few balls a round playing the vice ,it’s just a great ball .Nice review Matt .
I switched from Titleist Prov1x to Vice Pro Plus two years ago and have been very happy with the switch and am not looking back. I know this video is about Vice Pro which is comparable to the regular Prov1, but the Vice Pro Plus plays similar to the Prov1x, the ball I played for 10 years.
Vice pro balls are a great option if you don't want to spend the money on the ultra premium balls. And as It goes for the colors. I would say the "drip" ball isn't necessarily easier to find but I never find myself mistaken it for either someone else's ball or something that's not actually a ball i.e. some jerks wrapper
I’ve been playing the Vice Lime Pro Plus for several years. I okay to a 3hcp and Previously I would only play ProV1. Distance, control and feel are extremely close. The durability would be my only complaint but not enough to warrant paying for ProV1. Dollar for dollar and yard for yard, well worth the money.
nice review
I am intrigued about cast urethane. When I tried the Vice Pro I found them a bit harder than my normal TP5. Distance was the same though and spin from what I saw was comparable, maybe not quite as much as TP5 but not much in it. I couldn't personally compare the Prov1 because I don't play them. Vice Pro looks good
Hi Matt. I've been using the Vice Pro for about a year now. I'm a high h'capper with a low strike speed, but find that they give me better control around the green and a slightly longer driver distance. Pleased to see that you tested them.
Big handicap players don’t need to spend money on expensive balls like that!
@leer798 I agree 35 handicapper Noodles are by far a better choice 17 bucks for 12.
Try the Vice Pro Plus its supposed to be really long and it feels pretty good around the greens as well.
I play Vice Pro Soft balls and I find that they are really good. The only thing I have noticed is that it does not hold up to my practice net, they scuff up faster than any other balls I have tried (Srixon, Maxfli, Titlelist, TaylorMade, or Callaway). That being said, I feel that is that is sort of a torture test. For on course usage I notice absolutely no durability issues. They will probably be my long term golf ball as my others get lost.
I found a vice pro zero and it performed really. Was very consistent and felt awesome
I use the Vice Tour golf balls. Not a good enough golfer for Pro ones but do like the Tours on performance and price compared to my previous golf balls.
I'm on the pro plus as the pro was spinning up a bit too much with the driver.
Feels good and performs well for me.
i play the pro V just bought 4 dozen of the 2023 .. but i did try the cut ball after watching your video and i liked them.. ive never tried these will have to give them a try.. the Sugar balls are really good as well
For the past couple of years a few of us club together and buy in bulk. I use the green drip version and have no problem finding them in the rough
The speckled egg (drip) ones are stupidly hard to find on fairways.. never mind in the short ruff 😆 Great golf balls though, I really like the neon red Pro Plus 👍
I have used vice balls for 4 years now, I have slow club head speed and depending on weather switch between pro and pro soft. Great balls at cheaper price.
Been playing Vice for years and they work for my swing.
Vice is a great ball and I always play them. I enjoy then regular white or the drip color. It makes them more unique.
great video! Thank you so much! As a newer golfer saving money while going through golf balls as I learn and get better is instrumental. I really appreciate the videos and honesty!
I usually buy the white or green. Both of which were pretty easy to find. I tried the red once. Never again. I lost every one just from hitting in the rough or on blind drives that ran out of fairway.
Young playing pros with less money order this ball and play them... That says all about the quality of this vice pro! Nice video Matt!
I have been playing with TP5 its good to know there might be a cheaper ball available.
I’ve used proV1 for a while when I came back into golf after 10 years absence,they’re nice but wasn’t majorly impressed with them. That’s just a personal feel opinion with the driver,but I’ve found a couple of vice pro balls in the rough and tried them,probably just in my head but feel like you actually strike them better with driver. Both feel to me,much the same throughout the bag otherwise
Experimented with Vice (Pro, Plus, Soft) as well as Snell (very spinny). Settled on the Vice Pro. Great ball.
I use the neon green ones because literally that is so easy to find on the course be it the rough or fairway
Been playing the vice Pro for a l9ng time now , I play off 1 and I can honestly say I wouldn't go back to pro v 1 , I only use white , wish I could use all them different coloured balls but I'm a stubborn git so stick to white , great review matt 🏌️♂️⛳️👍
Jeez Matt - i just spent on 24 cut blue…: great ball thx
I’m a 20 hcp and I play the Bridgestone e6 since using I’ve gained about 15-20 yards off the tee and around the green they seem okay. I wouldn’t know how to make a ball check up anyway 😂. Before that I was just getting the Kirkland balls solely off of price point.
How do these premium balls compare to the I guess “economy plus” like the Bridgestones or the tour response
Budget-wise, I think the Vice Pro is a great ball and a great choice, but any time you compare other balls to the ProV1 you're probably better off just buying the ProV1, imo. And even though ProV1's are "predictable and reliable", I think those are great features to have in a ball. I (usually) don't lose more than 1 or 2 balls in a round and I prefer the TP5 Pix; it's been my gamer for the last year or so after switching from ProV1x.
My personal Top 5 faves right now are:
1. Titleist ProV1x
2. TaylorMade TP5 (my current ball)
3. Callaway Chromesoft Triple Track
4. Titleist AVX
5. TaylorMade Tour Response
I play these and the Kirkland balls, two of the 5 courses I play I am more likely to lose balls I do not use them at those. Otherwise I love them , and yes I like the drip color pattern a bunch
I've been playing vice pro soft for 2 years. I changed to the pro as I had been increasing my club speed through lessons and practice. I went back to the prosoft recently because I love the soft feel around the greens. I like them quite a bit. BTW your test should have been with the pro plus of vice, not the pro, if you wanted the V1 replica.
Proplus is the prov1x equivalent
I play the Vice Pro. Love them. I defy you not to spot a lime green Vice Pro in the rough.
I play the Pro, just retired a ball that I played for 60 holes.. so no issue w durability. Play the lime green ones, very good visibility/ findability
I've watched a few of these ball testing over the last couple of years and have never seen anyone test the Snell ball, by far the best ball if you ask me
Of all the colors I've seen and played I've find the bright pink are the easiest to find in the rough and in the air, found the red and orange quite hard to see in flight
I use the orange vice pro and love it.
Have seen the New Kirkland Performance + golf balls yet ? sold at Costco
I love the vice pro. Here in the US, Sam’s club sells them. 24 for $50.
Matt, I have not played the Vice pro golf ball. I do think showing this type of comparisons is necessary for people to have options. I will say that colored golf balls have from my experience been hard to find at times.
I use Vice Pro Plus in what they call neon yellow which is actually yellow/green. The easiest ball to spot I've ever played. I will only buy these unless they change them.
You should try the Union Green brand of balls.
Played the vice pro for an age and loved it but the price creeped up. Now play the vice pro zero which is cheaper but performs just as well for me
Been using Vice pro plus on & off for a few years - quality ball.
Have been playing Vice Golf balls for well over 2 years now....and love them. That said, I play with their Vice Pro Plus 4 peace version. In the end, if you give me a free dozen of any other ball...I will ask for the cash instead and put it toward my next Vice purchase.
I tried the Vice for awhile. Liked them except for color. I need the optic yellow color. Their lime green just didn't work for me. If they started making a yellow ball, I'd go back to them.
Looks like vice is doing pretty damn good we should see em on the tour more
I've already switched away from Titleist because my ball of choice the AVX has bumped in price to $55 a dozen.
I wasn't impressed with the durability when I tried the vice balls. I'm on board with different colors though: I play an optic yellow Bridgestone Tour B RX at the moment because it suits my eye better than gloss white. I do like a matt white option as well
Yeah that's my concern. I don't lose golf balls often, just finished off the dozen of ProV1s I bought last season; I shoot 85-90 but losing balls isnt my issue. I'm getting 10+ rounds out of a single ball and cant say Vice would last like that AND still perform like a new one.
I use the vice pro plus. Couldn't pay me to hit a Titleist. Not a fan. I also play the TP5x and the Bridgestone Tour B XS.
Why no wedge spin numbers?
Love the Vice balls all I use, just have very slow and not great customer service. At least from being from the states it is it may be different for those of you in Europe where you are closer to the company.
What about compared dispersion?
