Which golf ball

[Snelly]

I recommend Vice balls. I am playing really well with them. Great to chip and putt with. They cannot be faulted and it is nice to support a disruptor to the market.

If your after a good cheap ball , don't rule out the Wilson staff dx3 or even FG tour

Liking the Vice pro plus....however, here in France the cost for 60 plus shipping is TOTAL €157.39 against the UK web site of TOTAL £ 112.39...even with exchange rate that makes it expensive over in here in Franco land...............seen a deal on 'Thegolfshoponline' for the srixon ad333 tour at £22.98 for 12......will be buying a few other items from them so will save on the postage etc. It's a shame as if the ball cost in Euro's was more aligned to the current exchange rate I would definately go ahead...just seems too much to pay in Euro's....

As an aside how does the cheaper Vice Tour compare to say the Srixon AD333 Tour....seems a better price at Vice...but is it as nice!

Have to think what kind of player you are.

When you have a 20 yard chip, 5 yard to front of green, do you bump and run it or do you loft it to a few feet and stop it second bounce.


I have recently bought some chromesofts and have been loving the responsiveness on the greens, so different to 2 piece balls I have used.

What if I do both - and what particular shot I play depends upon the day, the round and how I feel.

I can honestly say that in all my 45yrs playing this game I have never thought 'oh I like this ball and will continue to play it because...'. Other than ...because I had a good round last time out with it

I have thought 'god - this ball is like hitting a stone - not going to play one of these again'

But beyond that - I will put my hand in my ball pocket and pull one out - my usual criteria for whether or not I play it is what markings or scribbling are on it. I play mostly balls I find - and just about all I find go in my bag. I can't remember last time I bought a golf ball - but I know I have in the last couple of years as I have a sleeve of Titleist Pro V1s or Pro V1xs in a drawer in the back room.

Maybe it is the small details like this that are the difference between a 10 handicap golfer and someone who gets to scratch and below.

Very probably so, but I'm never going to get to scratch or better. I'll just try and sort my swing and get to 7 or 8 this year - and that'll do me just dandy (for I know that getting my swing and striking better than they are will be what could make a significant difference to my scoring).

But each to his own (and I am most probably on my own ) I get that balls are important to many players, as they are to me - pretty much anything but a stone. If I ever get to 5 then I'll probably take more notice of my ball choice.

I will however have a go with these Vice balls so I know what folks are talking about
