I definitely think people should buy these..so I can find them and use them too

[@andybarger8486]

I've been using the Air for a couple of weeks now. I really like them but the driver numbers on the new 2024 Plus look to be 16 yards longer using the authors numbers. I received the Plus today and will try to compare side by side soon. I will let you know I find. I will do this a couple of times. Give me a week because I have a couple things I am playing in in the next few days so I won't change until afterwards.

[@benchang8905]

Can we do a video with different swing speed? High speed/ Mid speed/ low speed.

[@Hedgie-zq4wf]

Great review Simon. I've been playing the Snell MTB Prime (not the Prime X ball) ball the last 2 seasons and super impressed. It's long, plenty spin and my distance control seems better with it (that may also be something to do with the bargain Honma Forged irons I picked up 18 months ago). I'd recommend giving the Snell balls a try 🙂

[@kimbrigreen950]

Bragger!😊

[@That_Cajun_Guy]

Big fan of the Pro in previous years. Compared to the Pro V1 I get nearly identical numbers on GCQuad. The Pro V1 would spin a little more with wedges but I'm interested to see if Vice has closed that gap with the update..

[@thecourser7072]

I only play two brands, Vice and Srixzon. Vice pro plus and Srixzon Q Star Tour

[@jonbuikema7399]

I've played the Vice Pro. Good overall ball. Especially like the drip with blue and red. The issue for me and many here in USA is yellow has a following. Yellow ProV, TP5, AVX, Bridgestone, Srixon, even Mizuno RB max has optic yellow, Snell, etc. are used. Vice is hip with green but if they had a good color yellow they might gain sales. Until then, I won't budge on buying dozens.

[@Drycleanerguy]

Over the winter I used Vice Pro in red. It was sort of an orangish red, but they were very easy to see and find. My personal favorite is the multi-toned orange. They are easy to see and find, but have a radical look to them, as they are unlike any other ball on the market. I always get a lot of comments when I play the radioactive orange, as I call them. The green is fine, too. As for the paint splotches, they look great, however they are harder to find if you hit them into trouble. My go-to ball all summer, though is white.

[@jonbuikema7399]

@@Drycleanerguy Thanks I have seen the Orangish color. It isn't bad. With multiple dozens still in my storage I'm years away from new balls being purchased. May never need to buy them. As a 3-4 HCP player I'm fortunate I lose very few balls. Play them, they get scruffed up some then they go into my shag tube. When they finally are beyond use or I replace those, they go into my shag bag for places we go that don't have a driving range. People I golf with also pick the ranges on local courses. They find me all the yellow I'd want also. Cheers to more golf!

[@Drycleanerguy]

@@jonbuikema7399 I also have about 4 dozen balls left from last year, and that will last me at least the rest of this year. I am about a 13, so I lose a few balls, but not too many. Like you, I use them until they are scuffed, then they go into the shag bag.

[@greginRVA]

That vice lime green is their hi vis yellow ball. It's not much different.

[@swimp15]

I played Vice Pro’s and they’re a very good ball! Still have a few dozen left and keep a few in the bag to build my confidence back up when I chunk my TP5’s in the water…

[@mileseey7158]

Another fantastic video, Simon! I really appreciate your thorough testing of the Vice 2024 new golf balls. Your analysis of the Pro Air's performance was particularly enlightening and gave a clear insight into their practical capabilities. Your videos are always informative and easy to follow. Looking forward to your next one! Keep up the great work!

[@mikehammett6652]

And you get the previous version Vice pro 2 dozen for 49 bucks at Sam's club. 25 a dozen not bad

[@dustinroberson1865]

I wish they offered it in the pro plus. I prefer the feel of the plus a lot more

[@charlesm783]

Great blog. Love the honesty. Need to lose a few balls before being in the market to test your theory.

[@gomd3rd]

I wait for their 5 and get a box free sale. Comes out to about $2.50 a ball. I use the pro plus with my swing speed. Def gives you a bit of confidence standing over it and you guys know it’s all a mindset. That purchase will last me a whole season so budget of $160 a year is not bad a all

[@duncand1964]

I use Vice Pro Neon red as I’m visually impaired and the glossy red really pops! Hope they continue to do eye-popping colours and designs..

[@matthewdibenedetto5880]

Vice pro is my favorite ball. They are so long and perform so well!

[@myst8217]

I bought a box of the drips, they're nice. I only use 1 per round since they're expensive. I've yet to finish a round with 1 sadly

[@lionelgarcia2221]

Expensive? They are $32 a dozen and I’ve gotten some on EBay brand new for $22, $25 with taxes.

[@dustinroberson1865]

Vice Pro Plus is my go to ball, but with the prices going up from when I first bought them, they are still affordable compared to prov1's, but not an affordable ball for most people.

[@garydavis8213]

This is a source of confusion: when they say “low spin golf ball”, are they talking about off the driver or around the greens? When they say, “high spin golf ball”, are they talking about with the driver or around the greens? Obviously, the optimum is low spin off the driver and high spin around the greens, but I can’t ever figure out what it is that the manufacturer is selling.

[@andybarger8486]

I have some Pro Plus Air coming. I have played the plus for 2 years now and like them, but my driver swing speed is 90mph which is why I am trying the Air. I don't lose balls very often. The Air has a 75 compression while the Plus is 100. My hope is to get more yardage without giving up control. I am very curious.

[@sscully67]

Same boat. Would be interested to hear which works better for you. I’m currently using the Air.

[@andybarger8486]

@@sscully67 I tested them both side by side. I chipped around the green, 20-yard pitches, 50-yard shots, 100-yard shots, 150-yard shots and driver. I am getting a little more yardages with the driver but, all the other comparisons were close enough that I cannot tell the difference. That said, I am switching to the Air for the little bit of extra distance. The biggest difference is the feel. The Air is a softer feel and that is fine with me. I don't really have a preference for feel. I have played soft and firm. I hope this helps. I will be looking at Vice's new irons shortly. They have them at Club Champion. I am really curious. I play Srixon zx5's now and want to compare the two.

[@sscully67]

@@andybarger8486 thanks for the feedback! I’m partial to a softer feel and the Pro is definitely firmer, especially on mishits. The Air is staying in the bag this year.

[@bwalsh1105]

I think it would be fun for the pga to experiment with a rule change that allowed you to use different balls throughout the round to cater to the hole being played. You have to use the same ball throughout the entire hole but would be interesting to see if it would lead to more exciting golf.

[@blackllamasociety9123]

The drip must stay in their stable, especially the Black Lime Pro which I play😂. I would love for them to come out with an alignment ball that is black on the equator and then fades to a high visibility color on each side.

[@fat-shotgolf2937]

Head now full of golf balls! What golf balls will benefit me the most? Driver 83mph, 200-230yds 7 iron carry 125-140yds Like spin, not too much. Distance & control. Feel around the green important. I'm thinking Vice air. Comment

[@Kaiju-Goji]

Im a 15 handicapper I buy a box of 30 Optima balls at Big W for $28. Cant tell the difference

[@vegas005]

Enjoy being a 15….

[@ccarlock8537]

Vice pro plus is way more consistent the 2022 or prior pro v1x and 2023 about the same but the vice pro plus is just made for the everyday golfer.

[@DSizzle]

Price keeps going up in them. They’re pricing themselves out of the market

[@edanzore]

Tell us you haven't been to a pro shop lately

[@DSizzle]

@@edanzoreright now at golftown in Canada I can get Srixon z stars for 32.59 a dozen (buy 1 get one at 65). Last gen tp5 for 40 a dozen (2 for 80). Prov will do a buy 3 get 1 (75 ea which turns into 55) Vice are 45 dollars Canadian without shipping if you buy 5! If you wait for the buy 5 get 1 free it gets you to around 37ish a dozen. They’re basically matching up with the big guys if you play the specials. 3 dollar difference I’m taking the tp5. If it was a 7-10 dollar difference I’d go for the vice. Gap used to be bigger is all I’m sayin. Know what I’m sayyyyinnn

Let's be honest, the brand/model of ball makes almost no difference for 90 percent of golfers.

[@CharlotteK2008]

But for 10% it does so 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

[@Jacob-ed1bl]

I completely disagree. Playing a ball suited for you makes a huge difference. This is something an absolute hack would say, and most players are better than that.

[@matthewdibenedetto5880]

Horribly incorrect.

[@Drycleanerguy]

I don't think brand matters that much, but compression certainly does. Every golfer will have a compression range that feels best to them. For me, I am most comfortable with 85ish compression. I try out a lot of balls that I find. High compression balls, like the Pro V1X, always feel too hard for my slower swing speed, while low compression balls, such as the Callaway SuperSoft feel mushy to me. Most any ball from a top manufacturer that is in the 85 range, though, will feel fine to me.

[@ekinjtizll]

Because those 90% are hacks and can’t understand there’s a huge difference in golf balls

[@kkeith08]

Bag of lake balls will do 🤣

[@paulhuk2748]

Golf ball rollback coming yet manufacturers still trying to sell us the ball that's longer than the last model 🤔

[@jackiemoon_lms]

R&D takes years. Why not try and recoup the money spent over the past few years for rule changes that are still a few years out? The money made from this with generate money for the new conforming ball. Companies will still make non conforming balls after the roll back as 99% of golfers are not playing in official events mandating the new ball.

[@ryanwalters694]

@@jackiemoon_lmsit won’t effect you unless you play in USGA sanctioned events

[@jackiemoon_lms]

@@ryanwalters694 exactly. Feels like some people think they will be arrested if they play a non conforming ball when they are playing with friends after the roll back.

[@sausagembape677]

If golf were a serious game and not just an industry, we'd all play with the same ball. It would be much cheaper for everyone, 50p a ball would be completely possible, but that isn't the idea is it.

I didn't like these. Too much spin for me. 🤷‍♂ And no, I am not the best golfer. Not the worst, but definitely not the best! No need to insult! 😉

Only good golfers have to worry about too much spin. ;)
