    Finally got the chance yesterday to try the new vice tour and it’s perfect for high handicappers with high swing speeds like myself. It flies well in the air, it goes a mile especially with driver and it has good stopping power on the greens. Hit about a 120 yard shot and it spun back about 5-10 yards to my surprise. Feels great off each club and the putter. Highly recommend this golf ball!

      Hey that's awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and watch.
      It is a firmer golf ball so the faster swing speed makes sense. I actually had really good success with it as well. It's really easy on the wallet and if you lose one it's no big deal.

    Wow!!! I thought the Chrome Tour numbers were impressive, but at that price point that is incredible. And it does appear you may be playing better as did not mention many mishits.
    Could you also note some of the swing speeds(at least 7 and drivers)? I think it would be interesting to see the ratios of swing to ball speed and how much that is affected, plus proving you can keep your swing with great results from the ball which is the ultimate goal.

    Tried the previous vice tour model that’s right before this one and I must say I enjoyed it. I compared it with my usual Bridgestone e12 contact golf ball and I definitely got more distance than my Bridgestone ball since the vice tour has a higher compression rating. Since my swing speed is high, I need a higher compression golf but still have forgiveness to it like the tour does. This is my kind of golf ball. I look forward to trying to newer vice tour ball too! Also, I liked the feel of the golf ball too and got good spin on it still. Putting with it was nice as well.

      @@GolfBallAddict to me it feels harder than a regular chrome soft but also a bit softer than a typical tour ball. I dont feel it mush with my driver like a chrome soft but I feel some compression/springiness not like I’m hitting a rock. My 7i swing is 90 and I feel like I finally found the sweet spot for my swing speed plus the sound and feel off my putter is great. My driver is a good bit over 105 but I still prefer a slightly softer ball feel.

    Thanks for the great reviews! This new Vice Tour and the Wilson Zip are my two favorites. My driver swing speed low 90's (I'm 60). The 2024 Tour has better check-up on chipping and is crazy straight off the tee. I still give the edge to the Zip, however, as it has such great distance and high launch that it sticks on long approach shots. And the Zip price is still unbeatable for the quality;. Hope they keep making it!

    As far as the numbers, yes they don't lie, but also some things just work better for some people. Like me and drivers, I know that in theory they all should perform roughly the same, yet in multiple fittings, taylormade and Callaway just perfomed better for me.

      The tour is going to be a lot firmer. You're going to be able to bend it more and it will have a little more spin and check up. But it's definitely a different type of ball. If you like the soft explosiveness of the e6, it might be a drastic change going to a firmer clickier golf ball

If it's a block style, meaning rectangular, it's the previous model. If it narrows down at the end into an arrow, or I guess looking like the lead on a pencil per se, that's the new one.

    I just don’t see how your reviews are relevant. 6800 spin with a 9 is not the ball, it’s your ball striking, even with your “game improvement” Hot Metals you should be at 8000 with your 9i

    • @GolfBallAddict
      @GolfBallAddict  3 місяці тому +8

      So a couple things here.
      Let's start with the 8000 on a 9-iron. You have to keep in mind that every iron set is lofted different. The game improvement iron says nowadays are much more stronger lofted than they used to be. This will increased ball distance but also decrease the spin.
      I don't have any issues with my ball striking. I've been testing golf balls with the hot metals for over 2 and 1/2 years and never once have even come close to sniffing 8,000. Maybe if you had a swing speed fast enough to really compress the living heck out of the ball, like maybe 110 to 115 mph like the pros, I can see that being a possibility.
      But I've looked at billions of data sheets over the last few years and I can promise you that the average golfer is not getting 8000 with a nine iron
      My golf reviews are directed toward the average golfer with a medium fast swing speed. My data reflects that. It honestly sounds like you're comparing me to a tour pro or someone who swings 115 mph. I'm not Rick shiels, I'm not Grant horvac, I'm an average golfer with a channel aimed at the average golfer.
      That's why my reviews are relevant. Over 11,000 people have now subscribed because they all trust me when it comes to my golf ball reviews. Not to mention almost 2 million lifetime views. I'm not trying to flex on you it's just that I'm trying to prove my point.
      But I understand man, if the channel ain't for you it ain't for you. Sometimes this happens. It's a specific target market and not everyone fits in that

      @@GolfBallAddict I completely understand everything you’ve said and just as educated as you are if not more when it comes to these statistics. My point is, the average golfer such as yourself, idk what you are referring to, 18 hcp??? Shouldn’t be doing spin rate, ball speed, etc. when the ball striking is inconsistent. I’m very well aware of the lofts/tech in game improvement irons, what’s the descent angle of your 9i then? Because that’s the entire point of game improvement, less spin, higher flight/steeper descent to stop the ball? The point is, using those clubs and giving an opinion of golf balls, especially the good ones/4 piece are completely irrelevant if you aren’t playing to the standard/recommendations of said ball. Just stick to 2 and 3 piece balls

      @@l26c64. I think GBA reviews are totally relevant because higher hdcp players often play lower hdcp balls.
