I have recently tried offerings from both Vice and Snell so here are my thoughts.
Vice Pro Plus
Nice feeling ball, I thought it performed very well compared to the Pro V or TM TP that I normally use. Feel, spin and distance all felt pretty similar but 2 minor niggles for me. First is the discolouration, the ball definitely lost it's 'whiteness' after just 1 round. No affect on performance, just purely cosmetic. The other gripe is the logo, very personal but to me it just looks a bit naff.
Snell
I bought the trial pack of 6 Red and 6 Black balls. The Red is a 4 piece and reading the description you would believe it is the top of the range one. Certainly it is firmer than the Black but I played 9 holes with each and didn't notice any difference in distance but the Red is much 'clickier' off the irons and putter. Also it has that very white look you tend to associate with cheaper Surlyn balls despite having a urethane cover.
The Black however is a different kettle of fish altogether. It is a 3 piece ball but it plays and performs every bit as well as the 4 or 5 piece balls I normally use. It has a better 'premium' look to it than the Red and a much nicer feel off woods, irons and putter. Very impressed with this ball and at £30 a dozen I would have no hesitation playing them on a regular basis.
