Vice Pro Air Golf Ball Review–4 Key Takeaways You Should Know

The Vice Pro Air replaces the long-running Vice Pro Soft. It’s designed for players who love a soft feel but need help getting the ball airborne without sacrificing distance.

MyGolfSpy’s 2025 Ball Test data paints a clear picture that the Pro Air is the softest-feeling Vice ball and it’s tuned for higher launch and lower spin. That combination makes it especially playable for moderate and slower swingers looking for carry and control.

Here are four key takeaways every golfer should know about the Vice Pro Air.

1. Higher launch and lower spin than other Vice models

The Vice Pro Air produces a higher-launching, lower-spinning flight than the rest of the Vice lineup.

Driver spin averaged 2,862 rpm (slow) and 2,351 rpm (mid), both on the lower end among urethane-covered balls tested.

For golfers with moderate or slower swing speeds, that combination can translate to easier launch and greater carry through trajectory.

2. Softest feel in the Vice lineup

If you’ve ever gamed the Vice Pro Soft, you’ll feel right at home.

The Vice Pro Air was the softest-feeling Vice model in the test. Vice confirms this is the brand’s lowest-compression tour urethane ball, rated around 75 compression.

The new design keeps that soft, responsive feel while tightening up launch and spin for more efficient performance. The urethane cover is Vice’s thinnest yet.

3. Trade-offs: Stopping power and pure distance may be slightly compromised

As with most soft-feel golf balls, there’s a give-and-take.

While distance is fine overall, the Pro Air, like most soft balls, trades some speed with wedge spin around 5,592 rpm. That’s a touch lower than firmer tour balls, meaning slightly less one-hop-and-stop control on firm greens.

Even with lower spin, the Pro Air’s descent angles up to 47 degrees with mid-irons (fast swing) fall within the average to high range among balls tested. That means approach shots should land on a steeper trajectory than most low-spin options, helping maintain playable stopping characteristics despite softer compression.

4. Solid performance for less

The Vice Pro Air was named a runner-up among mid-priced golf balls, offering tour-level urethane performance at around $39.99 per dozen.

That puts it below the price of most premium tour balls while still delivering comparable feel and consistency. For golfers who want soft feel and solid all-around performance without paying top-tier prices, the Pro Air stands out as one of 2025’s best values.

Final thoughts

The Vice Pro Air takes over where the Pro Soft left off but brings a refined, more balanced performance profile. It’s soft, playable and consistent for a low-compression tour urethane design.

If your swing speed is moderate and your priority is height and softer feel, the Vice Pro Air deserves a spot on your short list.
