A few years many golfers might not have never seen a Vice ball if they stumbled across one in the woods on their local course. Those days are long gone as Vice is now a known and respected brand. Like the major OEMs, Vice offers a full line of balls suited to a variety of golfers. Since you can’t pick up a sleeve to try in the pro shop, however, how will you know what ball is best for you? Here, we’ll look at the best Vice golf ball for a number of different types of player.
BEST VICE GOLF BALL FOR HIGH SPEED SWINGS
Vice Pro Plus
The Vice Pro Plus golf ball has 4-Piece construction with a cast urethane cover. Vice designed the ball to provide the lower launch and spin desired by many fast swingers. MyGolfSpy ball testing also showed the Pro Plus to be a strong performer with irons. It finished within the top 10 for distance with high speed iron swings, but with a manageable spin number to hold greens. That’s what makes the Pro Plus the best Vice golf ball for high speed swings.
BEST VICE GOLF BALL FOR MEDIUM SPEED SWINGS
Vice Pro
For golfers who sit in the center of the bell curve for speed, spin, and ability, the Vice Pro is an all-around strong performer. The three-piece design, mid-firm compression, and cast urethane cover hit the mark for distance, green-side spin, and feel. While it might not lead the pack in any particular area, it also doesn’t fall behind. With no need to compromise, the Pro is the best Vice golf ball for medium swing speeds.
BEST VICE GOLF BALL FOR SOFT FEEL
Vice Pro Soft
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.
BEST VICE GOLF BALL FOR THE BUDGET-CONSCIOUS
Vice Pro Zero
A major advantage that Vice has over most OEMs is price. On average, the premium Vice balls start around $36 a dozen. Buyers can bring this below $30 by buying in bulk. For some golfers, however, this might still be a bit too pricey to feel comfortable with. Rather than compromising and getting a cheaper ionomer cover ball, these golfers now have the option to purchase a Vice Pro Zero. The Pro Zero uses a fused (rather than cast) urethane process that brings down production costs while still producing premium feel. For the budget-conscious, the Pro Zero is the best Vice golf ball to try.
BEST VICE GOLF BALL FOR THE UNDECIDED
Vice Variety Pack
If a golfer can’t decide if the Pro Plus, Pro, or Pro Soft is best for them, Vice has their back with a variety pack. This pack contains two each of the premium offerings, plus two each of the Surlyn-covered Vice Drive and Vice Tour. While the current offering lacks the Pro Zero, it can still be the best way to test out the waters.

I play the Vice Pro Plus and really like them, I think that they are quite close to the ProV1 in distance (for me at least 117mph swing speed) I think the only thing that is lacking from the Vice pro line is the durability of other high end golf balls.
