Is VICE really the PRO V1 killer you’ve been told?

  • How do you know which is the best golf ball for your game?
    No matter what you score in a round of golf, the golf ball is the only consistent factor. So, whatever your budget, brand or ball preferences, you need to play the best ball possible in order to shoot lower scores.
    I found this awesome tool on the Titleist website that gives you the perfect way of deciding on the right golf ball for you: shorturl.at/CDPT0 (no matter the brand).
    I hope it helps you!

    The Vice pro is my favorite ball of all time. The distance and feel for me can’t be beat. Love them.

    I'd say I'm above beginner/intermediate golfer... but to be honest, I've never even bothered buying titleist balls because of their price. I pretty much only use the Vice Pro and love them. I've used the Vice pro soft and the Vice tour but I keep falling back on the Vice Pro. It should absolutely be viewed as a ball on the same tier as the Pro V1, but I guess I'm not qualified to say that because I've never used a Pro V1. lol. Good vid mate. - Guy from North Texas.

    I love the Bridgestone e12. Drives long, feels springy, soft with great feel and spins like a battling top on the green. I buy them bulk 100 at a time for $4.00AUD each. $36.00 per doz. Outperforms Titleist balls every time for me.

      I just look on line and see who has a deal for bulk balls. I buy AAA grade hit once with no blemishes. I also spin them with a high speed spinner so I can make their balance line. Works for me. Cheers.@@JonPerkinsGolf

    The problem with a test like this is that the sample size is small, plus that each swing is a bit different. The good thing you can take away from this type of test is not the shot results, but rather your personal "feel" from each ball. If you want larger samples, mygolfspy does a ball test where they hit thousands of balls with a machine, so that each swing is the same. That test tells you exactly the opposite information, how the balls respond in terms of distance, spin, launch angle, etc, but nothing about the "feel".
    FWIW, I'm playing VICE Pro balls, but I like Pro V1 as well. I dislike the V1X, though because it's too hard, and the same is true of the VICE PRO Plus.

    • @JonPerkinsGolf
      @JonPerkinsGolf  Год назад

      Totally agree. I've played Vice for a couple of years so have a good idea how they feel, this was more a test for my own sense of performance. Certainly would agree that MGS do a great job collecting the data!

      I chose the vice pro as my ball. i would also play a pro v1 (i did until recently) , a chrome soft and a tp5, in a heartbeat. but i paid only 170€ for 6 dozens. and sub 2,50€ for THIS ball is a steal.
      For that price you can get a wilson duo soft. And that is not a good ball by any stretch.

    Seems like minimum gain for maximum price but each to their own. I played Sugar balls and really liked them and today receive my order of a supply of Vice Pro Plus. Personally, if I can get balls that are half the price of Pro V1/V1X which similarly perform then it’s a no brainer.
    Direct to consumer golf balls and clubs are a great way of getting top gear into the hands of people at affordable prices.

  • @madflava21
    @madflava21 11 месяцев назад +1

    I think the prov1 is the best all around ball out there. It's not the longest but can keep up. It doesn't spin the highest but spins just enough to keep it on the green and check up. It's the ball everything else is compared to. It's been the benchmark since it's debut for good reason.

  • @anilvirginia
    @anilvirginia 10 месяцев назад +3

    You're not a professional golfer and as such, your strike isn't going to be consistent. Basing a golf ball off of one shot is never going to yield data that is reliable. I would much prefer that you would have hit many shots to identify the best ball, but this is an honest on course assessment which is pretty good too. You found the ball you like the most, but I'm not sure if it's the ball I would like the most.

    • @JonPerkinsGolf
      @JonPerkinsGolf  10 месяцев назад +2

      Totally. I think pro or not, there is always going to be an amount of personal preference in anyone's decision. I liked this format of test more than anything. Though it did help me confirm my own choice. Cheers, Jon
