The biggest story in golf for 2017 may very well prove to be the golf ball.

One of the biggest names in the growing direct-to-consumer golf ball market is definitely VICE GOLF. After doing some preliminary testing on several Vice products, we see why. Our conclusion so far: These guys get it.

Today, MyGolfSpy readers are getting an exclusive opportunity to test a not-yet-released ball called the VICE PRO SOFT. Pretty cool right?

We think Vice is making some incredible gear, but we want you to tell us what you think.

ABOUT VICE GOLF

THE VICE MODEL: The Vice model is simple, they think high-quality, tour-level golf balls shouldn’t cost a fortune.

ABOUT THE VICE PRO SOFT

The Vice PRO SOFT has been designed for players with medium or lower club head speeds who want to bring their game to the next level. Vice says the new ball offers extra-long distance off the tee, outstanding feel, and plenty of spin for control around the green.

Overview of features:

Extremely low core compression of only 35
3-Piece Cast Urethane Cover
Newly designed BJ13 resin paint coating formula
Nanotechnology matte clear coating for grip and feel
Anti-glare effect and 100% color fidelity
336 dimple design
Low dispersion
Ultra-soft feel
Tremendous distance off the tee
Controllable, high spin rates in the short game
Low Driver spin, high wedge spin

, I’m off 13hc.I already use them, they recommended the vice pro for my swing.
They are in the top two for durability on my reckoning, I’ve used 1 ball for three games and still have an unbroken skin. I feel i should use a new one now but I’m going for game 4 this weekend. as for distance and feel well on a good swing there is no difference in feel and flight. There is no marked distance between Vice and Prov and my Call super soft. nice soft drop.
on a bad swing there is a bit more side spin I feel.Putting is a nice soft smooth roll. can’t fault the ball except the fact that it’s a good price until i ship it over to aust.

I found my first VICE ball on the course, and I wanted to try it (especially after i looked up info about VICE GOLF). Unfortunately I am so “OCD’d” that I need to have at least a whole “sleeve” of a certain ball to be able to put it into play. Also I think I can express myself well enough to file a report that would be shared by most & understood by all!
