Some of the Vice balls are fairly expensive and I\u2019m not the biggest fan but these are much more reasonably priced and use them a lot in the winter (along with Noodle) when balls tend to plug and you can\u2019t find them. It\u2019s a 2-piece golf ball and that\u2019s why it\u2019s cheaper than the rest but it\u2019s built tough and doesn\u2019t scratch up as easily as others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t use them in the spring\/summer too much because I get better performance from other balls (see my\u00a0favorite balls for average golfers<\/a>) but I think they\u2019re a great option for most weekend golfers who want something cheap while still giving the performance they need.

I\u2019ll sacrifice a bit of distance all day long if I can get more of this because it\u2019s one of the easiest ways to lower scores. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019ll fix your hook or slice but I am saying that if you use the right ball and focus on fairways over distance then you\u2019ll shoot better rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I did really like the feel<\/strong> of these balls because they weren\u2019t too soft (like the Pro Soft) and I felt like I could put the ball somewhat close to where I wanted. They weren\u2019t as accurate<\/strong> as some and they weren\u2019t the best for shaping the ball around but I still did enjoy playing with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of forgiveness,<\/strong> I wouldn\u2019t say they\u2019re as forgiving as the Noodle Long and Soft or the Wilson Fifty Elite but they were reasonably close. I definitely hit more fairways\/greens in regulation using this ball than a ProV1 or a higher-end ball from Taylormade. If you\u2019re a medium to high handicap player and are using those balls then you should switch right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn\u2019t really expect these balls to perform as well as some of the higher-end balls out there because it is much cheaper but compared to other balls in the price range, the Drive balls from Vice were surprisingly solid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing I\u2019ll talk about is the launch.<\/strong> I don\u2019t have the highest ball flight (gets the job done but can be ugly looking) but I do think this ball was the highest launching for me in the price range. It\u2019s not always the best thing because it\u2019ll hit the ground harder and can plug in wet conditions. It is confidence-boosting though and you\u2019ll probably gain a few yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The good news though is that the Drive balls were pretty much identical to the Noodle and Wilson when it came to distance.<\/strong> I\u2019m comparing it to these because they have a similar price and they\u2019re the 3 balls I use in the winter and feel comfortable comparing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, if you\u2019re an average weekend golfer and have a low to mid swing speed<\/strong> then I see no reason why you couldn\u2019t benefit from using the Drive balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q. How are these balls around the green?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A. They aren\u2019t as soft and easy to control as some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q. What compression are these balls?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A. I believe they\u2019re close to a ProV1 (felt similar to me anyway).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q. What Titleist ball are they similar to?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A. I found them close to the Titleist Velocity balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, if you\u2019re an average weekend golfer who doesn\u2019t want to spend a fortune on golf balls, you have a slower swing speed,<\/strong> and you don\u2019t care about spinning or shaping the ball then these could be perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are they the best golf ball out there? No, definitely not, but they\u2019re one of the best entry-level balls<\/strong> and still offer a decent amount of forgiveness. The distance I got from them was also just as good as most other balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need a cheap ball to play with during the winter or want a cheap ball that still offers pretty good performance then I see no reason why you shouldn\u2019t give the Vice Drive golf balls a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me know your thoughts and any questions you have.
