If you are a ProV player, give these a try, really nice balls with good feel and surprising durability of the cover.  My boys and I used them on a father-sons annual golf weekend, this year was Palm Desert, so the warm weather was naturally (unfairly?) nice for feel and distance - but one of my boys is PGA, and really liked them compared to ProVs.  I actually really like the \"Vice\" logo at address, which is meaningless to your score but it is a pleasant ball to look at.  Good feel for putts with a composite face Odyssey, and it can be the short taps that really tell you if you like it as much as the big wallops do.  Very nice trajectory and distance with mid irons, which I use a lot as my drives are always the shortest in the threesome!

I have played pretty much every different top of the line ball over the years and always came back to the pro v1x. This is the first ball to change that. I tried the vice tour first before trying these and those are a good ball as well just a little too hard. When I tried my first dozen of the pro plus I liked them but wasn't sold on them. That is until i switched back to the pro v1s. I was leaving everything 5 yards short with about every club and the lower clubs near the PW was more like 8 yards. As soon I switched back to vice the difference was clear. For me that was enough there to switch for the price. Now as for spin, I found them to fly straighter than the pro v1s. As for back spin I love them. The pro v1s were too predictable and you could hit a good shot and spin the ball 10 feet back away from the pin. These things hit and stick. So much easier to control. I found the same thing for chipping, there isn't as much spin but it's way more consistent and easier to control.As for durability, a strong wedge shot will sometimes cut the cover but no differently than you would with the pro v1s.If you haven't tried these balls, you are hurting your game and your wallet. Give them a shot, you won't be sorry.Also I switched to the neon green and once you get used to it, you will not want to play with a white ball again. Almost impossible to lose and love it for putting now.","date":"2026-02-20","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_219","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JW68P4P","author":"Jonathan Sheldon","rating":4,"text":"An honest review, been playing these for over a year.. So, these are great. They preform just as good as a pro V, or TP. I have not found a person who could honestly say different. You have to buy in bulk to make them cheap otherwise they cost pretty close to the same per ball, but buy 5 boxes and you won't regret it.The sample pack is great for picking your ball. I have the best preformace from the pro plus personally.Cons: the cover is not as durable as a pro V or TP. I hate to admit it, but it's not. I've split two covers on brand new balls with my wedge, never seen it happen before in my life. If you hit a tree the ball will be marked. I don't see a difference in preformace on a marked ball. But some people say there is although hitting a marked and in marked ball on a trackman will produce near identical preformace.Overall: I'm officially switched. They are worth it.

I've also played Cut Blue, Snell MTB red, and 20 different distance balls that are fine in wet weather, but suck when you need a short pitch or chip to throw out the anchor in September during your league playoffs.

I’m really trying to take my game to the next level this season and I think playing one consistent ball will help. From what I read Vice makes high quality balls and if you buy bulk you can save decent money compared to high end competitors. \n\nJust wondering if they match the higher priced competition when it comes to performance or if it’s worth it to spend for the traditional brands.

I’m looking for suggestions on what brand ball to get. Also wanting value for the money I lose a fair amount of balls so I don’t want to break the bank on new ones. I’ve heard ball choice does matter I just don’t know how much it matters. I’m using Taylor made sim2 max diver and irons swing speed is about 110 give or take and my handicap is about 9 if that info even matters for this. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a naturally high ball flight (slight draw) with a steep decent angle.  I do everything I can to keep my ball flight down -- I play XS, low-launch shafts; I use a LS driver; I flight my wedges.\n\nDriver distance is around 285 consistent -- 300+ if I catch one -- but, again, lots of hang time in the air (and I play in a location that is decently windy).\n\nHere's my sanity check request... I feel like I consistently play better with non-premium balls (anything from Tour Response to Warbirds).  From 150 out, I'm confident I could backspin a Noodle.  When I play with ProV1s or TP5s, I get slightly more of a check around the greens, but I feel like it adds spin on the driver (which could cost me a couple of fairways per round).\n\nSo, by not playing a premium ball, I know I'm losing a stroke when I've got a 30-yard shot to a tight pin over a bunker (because I can check-stop the premium ball and I'll get more rollout on the alternative).

I ended up getting fitted for a Callaway Mavrik driver back then when my swing speed was probably around 95-100. I've gotten a lot better and my smooth swing now is around 110-115. One of my friends mentioned to me that my driver shaft was flexing a lot on my downswing and I should probably get a stiff shaft. I ended up finding a good deal on a new Cobra rad speed driver with a hzrdus smoke blue stiff shaft. I love the way that it looks and feels. But I seriously cannot hit this thing.\n\nNow when I say that, obviously I can hit the ball and it goes in the air. But consistency is out the window and my ball speed is down from \\~165-170 (range balls) with the mavrik. To 155-165. The distance is gone as well from 270-290 to 250-265. And that's only if I manage to catch one clean.  And catching one clean feels insurmountable sometimes. I'd say I hit this thing 1/10 times might be a decent strike (with the piss poor results I mentioned above).
