Vice Pro Plus Golf Balls Review

YOU NEED TO KNOW: 
Optimised for distance for good golfers with a medium to high swing speed. The Plus has a fourth layer which allows Vice to lower driver launch and spin for longer drives. All the same green-grabbing tech and good feel as the Pro.

WE SAY: 
Exactly the same premium sticky urethane cover as the Vice Pro, but with a firmer feel, which golfers who regularly play “X” balls will be accustomed to. Our test pro enjoyed the feel of the Plus more as he moved up through the bag, but for his personal preference it was a little firm in the short game. Our data shows the Plus launched 1.5° lower and peaked out three yards down on the Vice Pro, which should be a consideration if you’re a serious golfer working on lowering ball flight.

VERDICT: 
We agree with Vice – to get the best out of this ball you need either to have an above-average swing speed or harbour a particular desire to play a firmer ball and want to hit shots lower. Though a majority of tour players use firmer “x” balls, we’d say a huge majority of club golfers would be better served by the slightly softer Vice Pro.
