Anyone on here used them?
£24 for two dozen.
Will be heading up shortly to grab a bunch but they sound too good to be true.

I bought some last year so may be the older model, cracking ball and great value.

According to almost every review I've seen, they spin more than most balls. Some say they spin too much if anything. May lose distance as a result.

I have 3 dozen of the older model sitting in my office, they will be going in my practice bag.

Costco are also stocking the Vice Tour ball at about £21.50 a dozen, a better ball by far.

I disliked them for entirely that reason! Far too much spin which led to an odd flight and I also struggled to putt with them.
However, others I know love them, so hope they work for the OP.

A good ball to use going downwind into a green and you need to stop it quick..
They spin like mad....

Noticed yesterday my local Costco is now stocking vice, so much for not dealing with retail!

based on your previous exhibition of putting, I don’t think you can blame the ball!

I used the previous ones and now got some v2’s. As above loads of spin. Havent noticed lost distance. The v2 are more durable than the original ones. No reason for me to use anything else really

I hear the new version is rubbish and not a patch on the first version.

That’s funny as I’ve heard the new version fixes the issues with the first.

Rick shiels does a positive review about them. Personally I’d get titleists from premier lakeballs. I normally Go pearl grade but I just bought a box of pearl/a grade mix and for just over £1 a ball they are incredible for quality.

Can only go off my own experience, I was a little skeptical around the very high spin.
I did a test for myself on course and compared it with the Smell MTB, Snell MTB-X and the Chromesoft X (they are the balls I normally use) I hit 5 drives with each (wanted the drives to be roughly the same in terms of strike)
All went around the same distance maybe 5 yards total coverage in distance? (My SS is around 103 with driver)
However the biggest difference was into a decent wind, the Kirkland was noticeably shorter off the tee. It would just stall in the air.
Also I did try the vice balls that Costco are stocking. Would not recommend them to anybody, each ball lasted 1-2 holes before the cover was almost destroyed. Was extremely disappointed as vice balls where something I wanted to try.

I think this is actually the 3rd ball Costco have released.
The initial ball was the one everyone loved as it was a carbon copy of the ProV1. Titleist lawyers had to send them a cease and desist letter.
The next ball was the one that had loads of issues with the cover being destroyed by a couple of wedge shots or even splitting like an old balata ball on thin shots.
The current version was a fix to the cover issues of the 2nd ball.

I’m not sure what model Costco are selling of the vice but I’ve tried their prov/chromesoft/zstar version and also the cheaper nxt/supersoft/ad333tour version and both were pretty good

If memory serves it was the Vice Tour

I think the tour was the super soft / nxt equiv (next one down from prov).
If I hadn’t got a deal on 10dz supersofts i would have gone vice.

Seed balls get decent reviews and are a bit cheaper than the main manufacturers balls with direct to consumer selling.
