MG or Vice golf balls?


SuperDave

Recommended Posts

I'm finally getting control of my driver and want to which to a urethane golf ball for more spin and stopping ability on the greens. Of course, Titleist ProV1 is the "#1" ball on the market but extremely pricey.

I've read a lot about MG and Vice golf balls and how they compare to Prov1's and read their reviews.

I trust you guys and would like to know if anyone has tried either of these and what they think.

If there's been a review here I don't know about, let me know. Thank you.

And a favorite at MGS is the Snell My Tour Ball

Check that one out!

 

MG and Snell are not available here in Europe, but I have tested the Vice Pro is very comparable to the Pro V1 and cheaper as well.

I believe quality-wise, they should be very comparable.

Then it comes down to pricing.

I personally still lose 2-3 balls per round, so the cheapest option serves my purpose.

 

My current choice are lakeballs, whatever is on sale. Last time got 200 TM Penta for about $1.5 each in AAAA grade.

I played the MG for a while. It was decent for the price. Snell MTB is my gamer now. Slightly better than the MG in terms of spin and distance. Don't notice a difference between it and a Pro V1X.

It's great to know that there are companies that specialise in making golf balls comparable to the Big Boys - Titliest, Bridgestone, etc. - for a lower price point. Once I've used all my current stockpile of Pro V1s, I'll definitely try out the Snell, Vice and other similar products.

 

On a side note, there are websites that offer AAA-rated golf balls - Pro V1s, ChromeSofts, B330s, etc. - for about a third of the price. The website I used was LostGolfBalls.com (the Aussie version).

I've seen a lot of ads for VIce and they have me interested. The reviews seem really good as well for such reasonable priced ball. Sadly I just picked up 6 dozen Srixon XV for the price of 3. I guess I'll have to wait

I would say vice pro and pro plus are as close to both the pro v1 vs v1x. The snell takes good qualities from both as well as the tour preferred x/ non x

I can vouche for the MG Tour C4 and the Snell MTB. Both excellent balls. Can't say for the Vice as I haven't played them. For the money I'd choose the MG C4 at $19.95. I play them off and on all the time. For me personally I can't see a difference between them and more expensive balls. The Snell is an excellent choice also.. just more expensive. Another good choice is the Chrome Soft. ~$37/dz. Love them. If I had to choose one ball and one ball only forever I'd probably pick the Snell MTB.

I appreciate it, sir. I'm leaning towards MG'S. I've playing a couple that I've found but didn't get a good feel for them cause I lost them back to quickly.

Once I've gone through my current stash of Titliest Pro V1s, I'll have a crack at the Snell, Vice and those Kick balls! They sound quite interesting, and would be fun to compare against. The only issue I've got against them is the postage fees from the USA to Australia.

It'll take a while - I've got about 17 Pro V1s left, and I only lose one every 5-6 rounds. I'd need to get below 10 for me to consider getting more.

I think we need to start a thread asking the rest of the forum about their golf ball survival rates!!

Sounds like a good idea. We can included what we call tree love. Into the woods hit a tree and back in the fairway. I know I've seen it more than a few times.

I can play the same ball for 2-3 rounds and then go on a spree where I will lose 3-4 in one round! Ball survival is the same as the game of golf.... fickle and unpredictable! :huh:

But it sure is fun. My friends dad always says don't worry about losing your golf balls. As far as he knows. They still make them.
