Vice Tour Golf Balls

(hdcp 11, driver 220~250, slight draw) I am working on choosing my next golfball, and based on price and performance, I've ended up with Vice brand balls. There are plenty of choices, but based on performance numbers, picked the Pro and the Tour versions for trial. I loved the Pro! Urethane cover, firm but feels elastically soft, comparable to Gamer although Gamer is supposed to be softer at 77 or so compression. I think Vice Pro is 85 or 90. The numbers are great too: low driver spin, high iron and wedge spin. It really feels like it's being "cut" by the wedge when you chip with it. Although the cut is literal if you pitch it for more than 40 yards. But why try the Tour when the Pro works so well? The difference in pricing is substancial at $10 per box, or $9 if you buy 5 boxes at the mfg website. Back to the Tour version, which name is really an oxymoron, the numbers are equally as impressive based on the manufacturer's testing numbers, and it feels like they are true numbers based on my experience. The big drawback is the feel of this ball. When chipping, it fells like I'm hitting on a hard shell, almost like an eggshell except it doesn't crack. But the ball does hold the greens when chipping and I can't tell the difference in spin between the Tour and Pro versions. So... I will stick to Tour for a couple of boxes before deciding on which to use for the next few years. Now if money was no object, I'd definitely use the Pro, but I'm cheap and I play often. And I am not the guy who goes off to the trail to find a wayward drive. After playing a round, Vice Tour performed as well as the Vice Pro, but the firm contact is obvious. If you're ok with that or if you actually like that, then this ball is great. I've always played with a softer ball, but the change didn't affect my score negatively, so the testing continues. After 6 boxes (I play multiple rounds per week), I've gotten used to these so I bought 5 more. They are actually longer than the urethane covered Pros, and offer enough spin even on shorter wedge shots. If you compare the numbers in Vice testing combined with the advertised 95mph swing driver spin, Tour is longer than Pro, but that's usually the case with a lower spinning ball. Someone at the corporate probably noticed this so to promote the Pro - higher priced, there are many more pretty finishes offered. I'm sticking to these for now. More importantly, these putt very different than the Pro, so don't mix the two when playing, you'll be leaving putts short using the Pro or zoom past the hole using the Tour (I'm exaggerating). Update 7/2022: handicap 10, driving 250...I've fully adjusted to VIce Tour. These play really well with every club, long on drivers, hold greens with the long and mid irons, and chip well. The harder feel seems satisfying rather than an annoyance, the single white color is easy to overlook, and the price is right. Read more

I recently switched to Vice Tour Golf Balls and couldn't be happier with my decision. These golf balls offer an excellent balance of distance and control, making them perfect for both long drives and precision shots around the green. The feel of the ball off the clubface is incredibly satisfying, providing just the right amount of softness without sacrificing durability. I've noticed a significant improvement in my game, especially in terms of consistency and accuracy. Additionally, the price point is very reasonable for the quality you're getting. It's clear that Vice puts a lot of thought into its product design, and it shows in every aspect of these golf balls. If you're looking for a high-performing golf ball that won't break the bank, the Vice Tour Golf Balls are an outstanding choice. Highly recommended! Read more

This ball is a great ball! I love the feel, and the distance is great! I was playing a Titleist Tru Feel, and the Vice Tour is definitely a longer ball. I am a 6'4" 235 lbs, and a 9.5 handicap. On average I drive the ball 260-290 yds with my old 9.5 degree Taylormade Burner. Two days ago I drove it 315! Longest drive ever right down the middle. On hole 18 my third shot on a par 5, I hit a 9i from the rough about 140 yards out. When I struck the ball, the flight pattern was way off from my normal pattern, but still hit the far edge of the green, about 40' from the hole. I thought I just shanked it, but when I got up to my ball, I saw the slice in the cover! WHAT?? Looks like it was run over by a mower. I cannot believe this. My first thought is that is a defective ball, as I didn't have any other issues on any previous holes. I even commented on how they are more durable than the Tru Feel. I still like the ball a lot, and will continue to play it. If it happens again though, that will be the end of Vice for me. Read more

Great golf ball. These went far for me. I don’t have a high swing speed and they were pretty impressive to me. I was actually able to get some of these balls over some water hazards. I will buy more golf balls from Vice. I’ve used a lot of brands and these have been some of my favorite. I could tell that these balls are better than others I’ve used from Wilson and Bridgestone.
