Seed are worth a look.
I really like the Seed 01 ball. It's my current ball but I'm thinking of changing now once my last few are used. Last year they had a promotion selling "wrong uns" basically balls they said were slightly wrongly printed, blemished, etc. Came without packaging etc. So I bought 50 of them, no hope were they the 01 ball. Definitely harder and totally different feel. And many others online have said same. The company implied that the ball was the 01 with maybe the font a little out, stuff like that. But without doubt I think it was their basic ball but printed as a 01.
I thought it was a poor tactic from the company to try get rid of the large quantity they obviously were left with, turned me off supporting them.

I found the QStar Tour to be a great ball but with one exception. With the batch of balls there were selling at our club around 2018/19 (4 doz for the price of 3) they split on on the seam. Sadly due to lockdown it was a long time before I realised the problem.

The only time I tried Vice was when they first came out.
The did a trial box of one of each of the 4 types.
Bought 3 dozen and immediately sold the 2 lots of 2 piece balls.
The Vice pro and the pro+ were both very good but they did suffer from them very quickly turned off white.

Never tried again as the price increased so much.

Found better deals in other 3/4 piece balls

One of the best deals around is the Kirkland signature if you shop about for them.
Eh? They come from Costco. They are a bargain though

Barely worth it, Shirley
I was looking for a friend recently and had seen them on there cheaper than Costco, obviously with the latter only good enough if you have one near you. If you have not played one and like a ball with good spin and distance they are worth a try, personally I found my preferred balls felt a touch softer and had marginally more greenside spin.

I always order online from Costco. You have to order 48 balls which I suppose is a downside, but it works out at £16 a dozen which is a bargain. I'm on Vice balls now as mentioned before

Now that this is a general golf ball discussion, I'll mention the Ram balls that I bought a couple of weeks ago. With the code that the website prompts you to use, they were £45 for 6-dozen balls.
Absolutely no difference (discernible to me) in performance or scores to the Titleist Tour Speed that I normally use. I'll certainly be using them all Winter and maybe beyond.

As per Oddsocks the AD333 Tour and the AD333 are different balls

Funnily enough the Ad333 TOUR was made by Dunlop and not Srixon, although I believe they are part of the same overall company (Sumito Rubber Industries)

Defo the same group, I was on srixon’s website looking at bags and there was a lot of Dunlop links there.

I can only assume the Dunlop that SD sells is own made import tooot with a licence paid for the name.

At one time they were selling the Dunlop DP1v3 which was as good as the Prov1 except for one thing - durability. Still got a couple of dozen kicking around.
Dunlop is still quite a big name in Asia.
