I never would have tried these without your review, and now that I have, I really like them. My durability test includes trees and cart paths and these passed that test. The only complaint I have is they keep getting lost.

[@braedenbowie997]

I could say the exact same

[@robertgarrick4077]

I have actually only hit a Vice golf ball one time. I found a Vice golf ball on the 14 hole while looking for my ball in the rough. On the 15th hole it was a 153 yard par 3 over water. I had never heard of a Vice golf ball so I figured I would use that in case I hit it in the water. Just before swinging I jokingly told my buddy that after this shot everyone will want a Vice golf ball. Miraculously I made my first and only hole in one on that shot. I took the ball out of the hole, put it in my bag, and later bought a display case and put it in there. So needless to say, I am a HUGE Vice golf ball fan!

[@bigg2226]

[@dgreene4234]

When you decide to go out, these balls are really nice. I've played 3 rounds with them and I will not be buying ProV1 again. Titelist wants $60 dozen now. In the states, Target sells a dozen Vice for $35. Surprisingly, they are less at Target than I could find on Amazon.

[@DanWessonSpecialist]

@@dgreene4234 Sam’s Club has them now on the self for $48 for 2 dozen. Half the cost of a ProV1.

[@ModusPonenz]

Your videos are so valuable to beginning golfers like me. Since so many of my shots go out-of-bounds, it is especially good to know more about the balls I find as I search for my balls. It is important to know the quality of the balls so I can better select which one to tee up on a shot that is likely to end up in the water hazard.

[@nhowland81]

They look nice I'm sure I could slice that dozen in the woods like a pro.

[@bradstevens4733]

I would love to test how these perform when cold-topped off the tee on a long par 5.

[@JoshEvansHeavens]

[@neilmaude8479]

I'm less worried about a durable golf ball - now, a more "findable" golf ball, that would be really useful...

[@coby6128]

This video shows exactly why Rick is one of my very favorite reviewers of any type of product really. At the beginning it seemed like he didn't expect them to maybe hold up and with the initial scuffs alot of reviewers might have held onto it and let it bias the future tests, but he didnt try to find small flaws and nit pick and confirm his initial thoughts, he saw they performed well and let us know!

[@Novaollie]

Found one of these balls whilst playing. It was my favourite ball until I lost it 3 holes later :D

[@Patluke2012]

Great in depth review

[@Ssdiamond8]

I’ve got to admit I’ve seen so many advertisements for these and was convinced they were all hype. Appreciate you testing them.

[@Lightandluck]

Playing Vice for over two years. My favourite ball. Already bought five dozen personalised Pro plus balls for my Christmas present! Hidden away! Can't wait for the surprise! Oh! Nearly forgot to say that I have never had a problem with scuffing or marking!

[@Lightandluck]

@ssjadam I don't see that at all. My swing speed is much higher and really don't have a problem with scuffing. I play Vice pro plus. What do you play? Maybe other Vice balls are not as durable!

[@ryanmccarthy9088]

I love these, I've played the pro or pro plus for the past 4 years, they play really long. I have seen them at Target from time to time.

[@stevobevo91]

Me too, I still suck tho lol

[@msalzberg4962]

I've been using the Vice for a couple of years. In the US, when you buy 5 dozen, they're about 1/2 the price of the Pro V1 or TP5. I also find them to be a lot more durable than the Titleist; I find Pro V's get scuffed fairly easily in comparison.

[@America1779]

I agree. I like titelist balls but the first layer scuffs very easily. I’m liking the Vice Pro.

[@Reffitt2]

Agreed. That's actually why I stopped using Titleist golf balls and switched to the TP5, disability. I bought a box of the Pro Drip balls earlier and will be testing them over the next few rounds. I'm not crazy about the "drip" paint splatter look but I'm sure I'll get a great idea about performance regardless of the paint. And who knows, it might grow on me. It's definitely different and I do really like (prefer actually) the Pix pattern and Tour Response Stripe balls.

[@Reffitt2]

@James Jennings They are great golf balls. I have played several rounds with the Pro Drip and while they don't offer any putting feedback they are a fantastic golf ball! 👌

I played 9 holes with a buddy today and used the Vice Pro ball because he was playing them and asked if I wanted to try them out. I normally play the TP5, which is fantastic, but that vice ball was really nice. I may have found a second favorite ball, and now I’m interested in the Vice Pro Plus ball. Thanks for the review Rick!

What I really like about your tests, is that your not influenced by any sponsors. I've played the Vice ball a couple of times. Heard it was comparable to the Pro V's. I don't play Titleist, but I did like the Vice. A little shorter than my regular ball of the tee, but still a very nice ball. Thank you for your truthful analysis.

Use the cheapest most durable ball you can find. You're going to lose many and the actual ball makes no difference to a beginner as you cannot control the ball anyway. Strike is king for weekend golfers like us.

[@Zach_Routhier]

The other day I linked up with some good rando gents at my local course. Overhit my gap wedge past a very short par 3 that has a gigantic "greenbelt" area behind it. "I'll be right back", I said. After they had finished putting, I heard them say "where is he, do you think he fell in?". I came out of the brush and proceeded to slowly dump 14 different balls on the green from my pockets. They laughed and cheered and I felt like a boss. Couple prov1's a couple tp5's, some bridgestone's. Basically almost paid for my round!

[@PeterFabian]

@@johnnypenso9574 durability is unnecessary for a beginner golfer exactly because of chances of losing the balls, especially if you play on water rich courses.

G'day Rick, I noticed one of our renowned members (Mornington Golf Club, Victoria, Australia) was using Vice golf balls. Yes, price and performance was mentioned, This man has won numerous club championships, so I went ahead and bought a few dozen. I found they were as good for me as the Callaway Chrome Soft that was recommended for a player like me: mid 70's who has lost a bit of distance, can putt and chip. The latest purchase is the Pro Soft neon "Lime Green" cover golf balls. I found some Pro Vix in my locker, I put one in play and was impressed but not enough to discard the Vice balls. Another bonus, most of the guys I play with are revolted by the colour.
