Vice Golf balls?

Anyone played these before? I found one yesterday the "Tour" version and I hit it off the tee a couple times and it went straight and pretty long. I think...

KCee I like the Vice Pro and Pro Plus balls. They work as well as anything else for me. Lately I stick with the Maxfli because I've been able to get 4 dozen for less than most other urethane cover balls.

My experience exactly. I originally bought the trial pack of balls from Vice. It included five different Vice balls. The Pro, Pro Plus, Drive, the Tour and another one that I can't remember the name of. I actually kind of liked all of them but the Pro Plus was the best , followed by the Vice Pro. I ordered a dozen of the Pro Plus balls and have used them off and on for about a year now. They are still quite expensive unless you order 5 dozen at a time. They cost $39.99 per dozen if you order one or two dozen at a time. You can bring that price down to $32.99 per dozen if you order at least five dozen at a time. Once in a while they run a special where you can get a better price on 3 dozen at a time or some such deal. Like KCee I've mostly gone to using Maxfli Tour X balls That I can just go to Dick's and pick up. They run deals at times where you can get the balls for around $25-$26 per dozen. I think I bought four dozen last time and I did get three dozen Vice Pro Plus balls on another deal so I now have plenty tour quality balls. I also have 2-3 dozen Srixon Soft Feel balls on hand
that I use quite often and if I were being honest, I hit them at least as well as the more expensive urethane balls.

mulegolf Agreed! I've also been able to get the Oncore Elixr for about $20 on sale (Black Friday?) and while I prefer the Maxfli and Vice the Elixr is more than good enough for my game.

Kev,
Vice Pro is a good ball. I have not purchased them online like others but they have a good rep and following in my parts. I like the Maxfli Softfli and Straigthfli too. They are inexpensive (similar to Callaway Supersoft and E6) and work very well.

I like the Maxfli Tour, and Wilson Triad if I can find it on sale. I think they are both made in the same factory as Vice. The Q Star Tour is very similar. They are all interchangeable for me. For the money the Maxfli will probably be my choice going forward.

I like both the Pro and Pro Plus. I buy them used and the guy prices them as a cheaper ball, $7 dozen.

I'd rate the Vise Pro Plus 100 compression close to the Oncore Elixr 85 compression as close to spin and better than most of the DTC urethane cast balls to the golfing public.

If anyone has a Sam’s Club in your area…$15 a dozen…yes please!!

VigilanteTrail The Pro is a nice ball. I think it's got to be about the same ball as the Maxfli Tour.

I play the pro plus and the pro air.

For $15 per dozen it is a no-brainer…no matter that they are not the most current version of Vice Pro

I bought 2 packs (4 dozen)…may go back & get more…have been playing this ball for 2 seasons now & there is no reason to switch.

What version is it? I.e.. what year?

These double dozen packs at Sam’s are the original 2016 version…they have “Vice Pro” printed in the alignment aid line.

The other Vice Pro’s that I ordered customized almost a year ago are the 2020 version and have just “Pro” printed in the alignment aid line.

I don’t know what differences are noticeable on the new 2024 version as I haven’t seen any of this latest version yet…

Additionally, you will notice that the alignment line is rounded off on the ends of the 2016 version vs. squared off on 2020 version

VigilanteTrail I think the knock on the original is the cover was not as durable , but still a good deal. They must have had a stockpile of the original!

VigilanteTrail

The new 2024 version has a tapered sliver alignment line with “Pro” on it…

No kidding! They have been selling them for over a year now…at least here at my local Sam’s

I have heard the same…about the cover being more durable on the newer version(s)…I personally have not had a problem with cover durability compared to other balls…unless of course it bounces hard off a cart path, tree or something 😜
