Whats the best Vice ball for a 95-100 mph swing

[settling4birdie]

Is the Vice pro or the Vice pro plus longer off the tee for a 95-100 mph swing ?

[The Pearl]

The Vice Pro Plus is a yard or so longer in the MGS ball test.  Both are quite a few yards behind the leaders at your swing speed.

 

I am just under 90 MPH and the Vice Pro Plus is the longest ball for me.

 

You are just going to have to try both out AND try both out against one of the longer options (ProV1X).

My swing speed is even slower than yours, and I had great success with the Vice Pro Plus last year. This year, I'm giving the Vice Pro a healthy test. According to the ball test, it may be slightly shorter off the driver, but it makes up for it off the irons. Preferring a little softer feel is why I am giving the Pro a shot.

All else being equal, a higher compression model will produce higher ball speed regardless of club head speed. Its COR is higher.

 

When considering different models, think of them as either maintenance or compensation. For instance, If your driver launch and/or spin is higher than optimal, the greater inherent ball speed of a V1x may not produce the greatest total distance.

 

Robot testing requires that the robot be setup to create a specific launch characteristic. Take. To extremes, a robot can produce greater distances for virtually any ball than another. Worse, the models with the greatest degree of “compensation”, which may be what you need, will tend to produce the worst generic results.

 

For the Vice balls, the Pro is a V1 clone-ish. It’s going to be slightly higher launch and spin than a V1. It’s interchangeable with the Maxfli Tour.

 

The Pro Plus is not a V1x clone. They don’t have the technology to do that. It’s closer to the 2019 TP5x - a distance ball. Its primary weakness will be stopping power for those with lower swing speeds using loft-jacked/high COR/low spin irons.

There is a ball fitting tool on the Vice website

 

I also have a swing speed of 95-100 and I play the Vice Pro when I buy Vice golf balls

Your results may vary

 

Best of luck

To echo @Jeff58, the clubhead speed myth about what golf ball to play was busted years ago. A firmer golf ball will create more ball speed at ANY speed. For me, I’ve played both the Vice Pro and Pro Plus and saw virtually zero difference in distance. Only performance differences I found were the Pro had a slightly higher peak, spin more inside 80 yds, and had a softer feel.

Well I used the golf ball selector on the Vice website and it came up with Vice Pro Zero.

 

At least its cheap for a urethane ball.

IMHO, the Pro and Pro Plus are the only Vice models worth considering  (Pro Soft’s low compression results in ball speed/spin loss for many and their other offerings are junk).

Thx. You probably saved me 30 bucks.

Which is why I stocked up a couple months ago on the Pro Plus shade.  It's the closest thing to the '19 TP5x which I loved.  To the OP, you can't go wrong with either Pro Plus or Pro, but the Pro does spin more and feel softer.

Try the Vice Tour.  Very similar to the old Titleist NXT Tour.

I keep finding Vice balls all over the course. Pro. Pro Plus. Pro Zero. Pro Soft.

 

Haven't found one I haven't loved yet. They feel different yet they are 

 

1) Free as I keep finding them

2) Much harder for me to lose as they were for the previous owners

3) See #1 above

There's a reason why there's a ton of them out in the wild that have strayed from their previous owners. 

 

1) They are every bit as good as their OEM counterparts IMO.

2) They're about 15 bucks cheaper per box when bought in bulk.

3) Pro and Pro Plus are pretty much bullet proof and can take a beating. 

4) See 1 and 2.  Do I need to go on?
