  3. Well this is the week to Old Kinderhook to put the Vice Drives to the test on a top rated course. As Ive mentioned before I have been very pleased with the performance of them so far. I not a long hitter but getting more distance and still hitting straight. Chipping and putting are good as well. They are keepers.
  4. Morning all! Slugging down the coffee, a doughnut would be nice. Going to start a big landscape project today. Going to be a nice 100 degree day here in Kansas. This is the big golf week, going to Lake of the Ozarks to play Old Kinderhook
  5. I’ve had now problems. No cuts, scratches or anything. Even trees don’t hurt them
  6. Played another 9 holes this morning. The Vice Drive still seems very favorable. I'm guessing I'm getting a good 10-15 yards better. This is based off of using my Bushnell scope. Chipping and putting are also on the plus side. Looking forward to next week playing Old Kinderhook, Lake of the Ozarks. It is a Tom Weiskopf design. OldKinderhook.com
  7. Was able to get in 9 yesterday. Over all hit the little white one pretty good . I feel I’m getting move distance on my drives. Irons were a little off but more my faults. Shot a 49 mostly due to my putting. On a side note, played with a single who used a set of of 100 yr old hickory shafted clubs. Had a great time
  8. Ice online has Drives for $14.99 dozen Vice Online
  9. Got in 9 on the local. Only 1 three putt. Shot a 44. Nice thing was no one behind me so I was able to hit multiple balls and also had my Swing Caddie SC300 with me.. When I lived in AZ heat was never a problem, KS is a different story!
  10. Been doing some indoor putting. I like the black stripe for seeing if you are getting a true straight roll. I have a Callaway White Hot putter and you can barely hear the contact. Still liking these balls very much. Price wise extremely competitive
  11. Congratulations! Enjoy the process and thanks for helping all that may be looking for a new putter
  12. Great idea to go off the reds and get short game practice!
  13. Really looking forward to the test. Currently play multiply different ball (depends what's on sale), Upgraded to Callaway Edge in the offseason. Looking to see how they work. Have a Srixon Driver, Callaway Edge 3,5, 6-9 irons PW, SW and putter
  14. Played 9 this morning with the wife. Great weather, slight breeze and temps in the seventies. Shot a 47. Could have been better. Missed a bunch of par putts
  15. Thinking of all of those and their families that have given us so much.
  16. Got my Vice Drive balls. Can't wait to get started if it will stop raining. About Me! I'm at the upper end of my 60's (not me score), Moved from AZ to KS about 3 years ago. Ottawa is a small town and we have Ottawa CC. Was built in the 1920's and is only 2 miles from the homestead. Been playing since I was in my teens. No lessons except 3 in the last year. Had to iron out some kinks from not playing The Product! The balls were package very nice. Upon opening NO damage anywhere. They look very nice. My first impression was a nice. The logo was good and I really like the lineup mark. The Future! I've got new Callaway Edge clubs and I' anxious to pair them up. End of the month heading to Lake of The Ozark, Old Kinderhook Resort for a golf weekend Keep you all posted and thanks to all for putting up with me and getting this posted July 7 2024 Vice Drive Golf Balls -2024 Forum Review Intro Hello, I’m Dennis A little about me. Been golfing since I was in High School so that about 50 years ago. Used to live in a golf Mecca, Scottsdale AZ. Now playing in the Heartland of America, Kansas. Never had any lessons until about 6 months ago. Game was way off due to various personal reasons. I decided to do something to improve and make the rounds more enjoyable. Along with the lessons I also bought new clubs. As for my ability I usually play in the 40’s for 9 holes and in the 90’s for 18. The Golf Question • There is not one single thing that will make the Vice Drive stay in the bag, it is a combination of; feel, performance, durability and value • This is an opportunity that I have never had and I’m very excited to get out and try • My knowledge of the product is very limited. I have seen some articles and had reviewed the website. I was somewhat skeptical as I view that as marketing jargon • My game plan is to put the Vice Drive through the same conditions that I would normally play. I will make notes as I go along. I am also going to do some skills based on the areas of my game that need improvement as well as those areas that are stronger. I am going into this with an open mind and don’t want to have any preconceived positive or negative thoughts • I was able to use my Swing Caddy SC300 during a couple of rounds First Impressions 8/10 My first impression was positive. The Vice Drive balls were packaged well, no damage to the box or contents. The only thing I would add is it would have nice to have a text or email saying the product had been shipped. The Drive has a nice feel. Solid sound on Driver and Fairway woods. Most of my iron shots are mid to short range. I felt that the Drive had a higher trajectory than previous brands I’ve played and a nicer touch around the greens. Aesthetics 9/10 The Vice Drive is a good looking ball. From the tee, it appears a little more bright then others. The logo or the alignment stripe give a good visual. As for durability, I have had no scratches, cuts or discoloration (even when it was saying hello t0 the trees). I would lump the feel, durability, feel etc., comparable to better then most others. As far as sound and feel I liked the sound. It was not out of line and gave a consistent sound. Was very nice on solid contact. My rating on feel is middle of the road. This is my preference. The Numbers 18/20 Overall I would rate this higher than the normal balls I play. They felt more solid overall. I was able to use my Swing Caddie SC300 on one of my rounds. Was able to set up on drives and occasionally in the fairway. When I could I would hit multiple shots. Most consistently I was getting 5-10 yards better. On putting I really liked the alignment line. On The Course 16/20 • Off the Tee – I was getting good results. Better yardage & a little straighter. From the fairways I would say I was getting a little higher as well as extra distance. I am normally not a high ball hitter • Approach – As far as my iron game I was seeing much better results. Less roll and better feel • Ball Flight – I would say the best thing is the consistency on the approach shots. You could rely on the club. You have chosen, didn’t have to hope and pray as to the results • Around the Green – As stated above, it was very reliable for chipping, bump and runs. That made the scores better as there were much shorter puts for 2 puts • Putting – The ball felt very nice coming of the putter. I just started using a Callaway White Hot Putter and did not have to make any changes. I never used to use an alinement aid before however started to with the Drive and really liked it • Bottom line: I would give it a thumbs up to improving scores The Good, the bad, the in-between 18/20 My overall impression is that this is a good ball and delivers as advertised. I would not say that there is any bad or in-between. On the Good side is… Appearance: Logo is nice for alignment, not over bearing, the white color stands out and the best is the alignment mark Consistency: There is good performance in all aspects and that removes the thought of what am I going to see Play it or Trade it? 18/20 PLAY IT For game the Vice Drive fits all that I am looking for. This is a good ball for the overall golfer. I have a slower swing speed and got good results. I believe the it is very value friendly piece of equipment for my style. The only thing I would change is I would try the green ones next time. Conclusion: Lots of reading up to here so I’m going to make this short and simple Give this value option ball a try. I’m sure you will not be disappointed. The look good. Play very nice with feel sound and reaction to you hits. The durability is good. I truly believe the Vice Drive gives the performance it says it will Final Score 87/100
  17. We were adopted by the neighborhood cat. Not really a lap cat but will jump up on the bed and sleep on my feet
  18. We had a big storm. Up most of the night. One of the 4 legged beasts doesn’t do well with lightning and thunder
  19. Waiting for LIV to start their recap of yesterday. Another soggy day in Kansas
