Vice Pro Plus Golf Balls (One Dozen)

Product Information

Given their distinct constructions, it’s no surprise that the Vice Pro and Pro Plus exhibit differing performance characteristics.

Others meanwhile have nullified this claim, stating that while the ball performs great, it is not extra ordinary. 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. As you can see, not a whole lot has changed between models. Like the original, the 2020 Vice Pro is a three-piece performance golf ball with a urethane cover. It’s manufactured by Foremost in Taiwan and features the 318-dimple design common to many Foremost-made balls. It’s the same pattern used on the OnCore ELIXR we reviewed earlier, though we should note that the latest generation of Foremost-made balls features thinner covers. That should lead to more greenside spin and, indeed, that’s among the benefits listed by Vice. Comparing the Pro Plus to the top selling ball in golf, I saw slightly less spin on pitches and half wedges, but the difference was very small – less than 5%. With the Vice Pro, the wedge spin was very slightly lower than the Pro Plus, again less than a 5% difference at most. Overall, I would rate both balls as average among Tour-style balls for short game spin.While slightly more expensive than the Pro model, the Pro Plus remains a terrific value for players with higher swing speeds. Concentricity issues are problematic, though likely not out of the realm of what’s tolerable considering the price (especially if you buy in bulk). The ionomer mantle and resilient core work together to optimize energy transfer and reduce spin on longer shots. True Price is how we quantify the quality of a golf ball. It's a projection of what you'd have to spend to ensure you get 12 good balls. Performance wise and based on actual comparison test data, the Vice Pro Plus perform with marginal difference to the ProV1, which is huge.

Understanding the performance differences between the Vice Pro and Pro Plus is crucial in determining which ball is suited to a particular golfer’s needs. Its cast urethane cover and additional ionomer mantle layer contribute to higher initial ball speed, increased distance, and enhanced durability. Simultaneously, the ionomer mantle and resilient core ensure the ball retains adequate distance potential, making it a well-rounded option for golfers of various skill levels. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of these two popular golf balls, comparing their performance, characteristics, and suitability for a host of golfers. Vice Pro Review: My long game testing started with the irons. All my previous testing has shown me that in this area, the differences between golf balls can get quite slim. That’s what I saw with the Vice Pro and Pro Plus, also. Both balls performed very similarly to the average Tour ball with short and mid irons. Again, the consistency of both Vice balls was impressive.

In this section, we detail the consistency of the Vice Pro across generations. Our consistency metrics provide a measure of how similar the balls in our sample were to one another, relative to all of the models we’ve tested to date. Weight Consistency In our sample of the 2016 Vice Pro, 17 percent of the balls we measured exceeded the USGA weight limit (and flagged as “bad” accordingly). One other issue is the availability of the balls. Since they’re are much cheaper than premium balls and perform equally well, they sell out pretty fast. Moreover, the Pro Plus exhibits a lower, more penetrating ball flight, which can be advantageous in windy conditions.

As MyGolfSpy testing shows, ball speed is not the only way to achieve distance. It can also be done through spin reduction. While it’s unquestionable that soft golf balls are slow, soft balls also don’t spin. This is welcome news for golfers who prefer the softest feel possible without sacrificing performance. For these players, the Vice Pro Soft is a three-piece cast urethane ball that provides premium performance with a lower compression number. Whether you have a slightly slower swing or just prefer a softer feel, the Pro Soft could be the best Vice golf ball for you. In total, 11 percent of our 2020 Vice Pro sample was flagged as bad. That’s a modest improvement over the prior generation. Core Consistency While off-center cores are easily recognizable, the experts we’ve worked with in developing our Ball Lab standards agree these seemingly small inconsistencies in the outer layers will often have a more significant performance impact than cores that are slightly off-center. Vice Pro plus balls boast a 4 piece model. The cover is Urethene, which provide softness and feel around the greens. If you’re looking for golf balls to buy, the market is replete with options. This sometimes leaves golfers with the arduous task of choosing the perfect ball for their game.The balls also attract a lot of dirt, and the dimples are prone to getting brown and murky while on course and you may have to clean up after it a bit more unless you play in extremely pristine courses that is! Users also complain of the balls discoloring faster. Availability
