May 21, 20159 yr if you like these Vice balls you might want to stock up. Looks like lawsuit has been filed by Titleist/Achushnet - http://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2015/04/10/titleist-parent-suing-independent-ball-makers-dimple-pattern-10711/
May 21, 20159 yr This part in that article is very interesting: "All of the balls are manufactured in Taiwan by the same company (not named in the suit) with a cast, aromatic urethane cover at the approximately same thickness and hardness." I wonder if "all of the balls" include Titleist as well? It certainly makes you think more about the differences between the various balls on the market and ultimately the manufacturing vs. marketing that happens behind the scenes...
May 22, 20159 yr After 3 rounds the Vice Pro Plus ball is in great shape. Cover has no ugly marks. At this price point these are a good value.
May 22, 20159 yr Titleist builds their balls in a factory in Massachusetts. According to them it speeds prototypes and testing. Also controls quality. Not my words. Theirs.. I might have to try the Vice and the Snell to see if I can tell a difference.
May 22, 20159 yr I ordered more Vice just in case. Love this ball. I ordered some Snell's as well. It will take Snell 9 days from order to deliver. 31.99 for a dozen with free delivery. I have 6 dozen Pro V1s now gathering dust. I may never stop playing Vice.
May 22, 20159 yr I got my 5 dozen yesterday of Pro+ and just ordered 3 dozen of the Pro's to be safe as well (logo'd too :) For the price, you can't beat this ball...
May 22, 20159 yr Obviously the price is great, but I find it spins better for me on short shots around the green which helps a ton. Very happy.
May 23, 20159 yr Author any discernable difference between the pro and the pro plus? Like the difference between v1 and v1x? gonna order some tomorrow. thnx!
May 23, 20159 yr Finished my week's testing and have decided on the Pro+. It's longer than the Pro, and I also like the feel better for putting. Nice spin around the greens too. It not only measures up to the RZN Black, I like it better. And while soft in feel, the cover isn't cutting and scuffing like I find this year's Nike doing -- big plus for me -- I used one ball for the whole round yesterday.

Glad everyone is liking the Vice, good company with good product and biz model :)
May 23, 20159 yr More props to you, D, for bringing this company to my attention. Hadn't heard about it before, and really like their whole attitude and service. Can't believe how fast they get stuff to you. Hope the big 'Cushnet doesn't ruin a good thing here...
May 23, 20159 yr Same here D, thanks for showing these off! I ordered some of the Pros just to compare but after a round with the Pro+ and a good chipping session yesterday, I think I have those dialed in. Though, one course I play has extremely hard greens, so maybe my gamer is the Pro+ but for that course on dry conditions, a Pro with more greenside spin wouldn't hurt :) Maybe some Tour versions for rainy/soggy days where you don't need the spin? With those prices, hard to pass up :)
May 23, 20159 yr Great idea M. Also want to throw my thanks in to D for bringing the Vice company to my attention.
May 24, 20159 yr +1...I am also I big believer in using the right ball for the conditions. This is great D, thanks for the heads up on this product, still haven't been out for a hit so cant comment yet. Hopefully I can change that this week. M that logo kills me. I seriously wouldn't be able to hit the ball without laughing occasionally. The blokes I play with already think I am mad enough without spontaneous laughter.
May 24, 20159 yr Yep! 5 dozen coming! I am also going to make another with Shooter McGavin if I can find a good .gif...
May 24, 20159 yr Maybe as well... "Should I go for this shot? I think Chuck Norris approves..." Edited May 24, 20159 yr by mpbachman
May 24, 20159 yr Happy to pass on any good info that I have, and glad those that have tried have found some good new ball options :) that is an awesome .gif and perfect for a golf ball, M. I think I have to order some too, or perhaps I'll try another pic and we can swap! Hutch, just rotate the ball so u don't see it when putting or teeing off haha
May 24, 20159 yr Haha, you should go with Bruce Lee so you can both see who the boss is at the end of the round ;) Way of the dragon style. Sorry MB but I will have a speckled hen on the Bruce. ;) Edited May 24, 20159 yr by hutchy
