You\u2019ve probably seen the ads recently about these new golf balls that are half the price as some of the higher-end balls on the market. They\u2019re supposed to be very simple and in this post, I\u2019m going to be reviewing the Vice Pro Soft golf balls and talking about whether or not they\u2019re worth picking up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how did they perform (compared to the Callaway Chrome Soft)? The Pro Soft balls from Vice are designed for average players with low to mid swing speeds. The Vice was a little bit softer, had a slightly higher trajectory, and was around 3 yards longer on average. It also had a decent amount of spin around the green and was pretty similar to the Chrome Soft. Overall, the performance was quite good and it\u2019s something I\u2019d recommend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying the Vice Pro Soft is for everyone because they\u2019re not. I\u2019m not a low handicap and I don\u2019t have a fast swing speed. This ball is designed for my game and I prefer a softer golf ball. If that\u2019s you then it could work but if not, you\u2019ll probably want to go with something else. If you want a more detailed review or you want to find out where the cheapest place to get them is, then continue reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control & Forgiveness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I look for in a golf ball is how forgiving it is. I\u2019m not a low handicap player so I can normally use all the forgiveness I can get. The thing I like best about these softer balls is that they\u2019re usually better for average players and I still think that\u2019s the case with the Pro Soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t say the Pro Soft is the most forgiving ball on the market and I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s my favorite (you can see my favorite golf balls for average players here<\/a>). That being said, I was still impressed with how forgiving it was off the tee. I\u2019d say it\u2019s very similar to the Callaway Chrome Soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing I noticed about it was that the Vice was slightly softer than the Chrome Soft. Some people will like this and some won\u2019t. I do prefer a softer ball myself but I found the Vice to be a little bit too much. That\u2019s just my personal opinion but I think a lot of weekend golfers could benefit from using something soft like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the greens, I like to have a bit of spin to help slow the ball down and the spin was the same as the Chrome Soft but not as much as some. I had pretty good control around the green with it and was able to get it to spin a bit but there are other balls on the market that spin more (will be more $$).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not able to put a huge amount of spin on the ball anyway so this wasn\u2019t really a big deal for me (and won\u2019t be for a lot of golfers). Overall, I definitely liked the amount of control and forgiveness I had with the Pro Soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distance & Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next thing I look at in a golf ball is how long it is and how it performs overall. I\u2019d way rather have a ball that\u2019s forgiving and accurate than something that\u2019s pure distance and I think you should be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll start off by saying, the Vice was longer off the tee compared to the Chrome Soft. It was somewhere around 3 yards longer on average which doesn\u2019t sound like much but I\u2019ll take any yard I can get. If you like a softer ball and want the most distance possible then this could be a great option for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a demo video: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also noticed that the Vice was slightly higher launching. That\u2019s most likely where the extra distance comes from and having a nice and high ball flight is definitely a confidence booster. My ball flight isn\u2019t always as high as I\u2019d like it so this was a nice feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the distance wasn\u2019t the longest for me but it was longer than the Chrome Soft and that\u2019s pretty respectable. All other performance was pretty solid and I was happy with what I saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
