    I just played my first round with the Vice Pro today.

    Durability: played 1 ball for 18 holes and no visible signs of tear and wear

    Accuracy: hit 10/14 fairways

    Distance: similar to my previous gamer

    Spin: no backspin, since I rarely take a divot, but with a 7i full swing, ball stopped 1m away from the pitch mark

    AAANNNDDD... *drumrolls*

    I shot a 79, breaking 80 for the first time in my life.

    I've found my new gamer... for now... 

     

     

    Congrats on the 79!!!  👏👏👏

    So that was the Z Star not Z Star XV? And you thought it was a little too firm. If it was the XV I could understand that but if it's the Z Star then it should feel softer than the XS and spin less according to the data.

    What, Tiger is allowing them to change his ball. I'm guessing he must have a lot of input into the changes.

    It was the regular Z Star (Yellow) and firmer throughout the bag.  It was not bad, just less muted compared to the TP5 or XS.

     Who knows about 2020.  It could be visual technology (camo), microchips like Oncore, or a hole-attracting magnet. 🤣🤣🤣

     I've been a Bstone XS player for years, but I tried the TP5 Pix and Z Star yesterday.  Both played very well. The Z Star spun more around the green and felt a little more firm. I found the Z Star had a lower trajectory on drives and long irons.  I think if someone was playing the Truvis, the Pix graphics would be appealing. It's a bit more subtle.  I'll be going back to the XS, however, I could easily game either of the Z Star or TP5.  

     The Bstone ball rep said that 2020, will showcase new technology in their ball.  It did sound similar to Callaway a couple of years ago with "the Ball that changed the ball."   Supposedly something that other companies will try and copy??? Interesting at least.

     This MGS report has really excited golfers, so I'm all in on their tests.

    Hit 'em well everyone!

    Aris Golf Co - Hero/Captain/Scout Balls

    I just wanted to bring up a great ball that I happened to find while testing them this winter. After testing just about everything else out there, I decided on the Aris Golf Co. Hero for this season. It's a 4 piece, urethane ball that performs amazingly well. The distance of the ball is right on par with everything else from the Titleist AVX to the Callaway Chrome Soft and the price point puts it below the Snell MTB and Vice Pro Series. Overall, the Hero performs as well or better than everything else I've hit out there. 

    Just a few details and thoughts on the Hero

    Pros

     - Cost: The $22.95 a box price is pretty decent for a tour level ball - free shipping kicks in at 4 dozen - so for under $100 you should make it through the season without an issue.
     - Availability: They have never had a stock issue or an issue shipping product from California to me in a a few days (ordered Saturday - received Tuesday).
     - Feel: The Hero feels like butter off the club face - firm butter, but just soft and smooth.
     - Spin: This ball stops on a dime! The good news is that you can hit rip back shots with these guys or you can just take a normal swing and the ball stops where it hits.

    Cons

     - Durability: The cover on the Hero is still a bit suspect to me. I managed 9 holes with one before I started to worry and by the 14th it looked pretty ratty.
     - That Logo: The logo is a bit "large" for my tastes, but it does make it easy to identify.
     - Locality: Is that a word? But finding them locally is impossible - they are mail order only and even with fast shipping - if you run out on Friday, you won't see them until Monday.

    Overall, the Hero is an excellent value in a tour ball - even with the durability issues - and should be a ball to order a trial sleeve of when you start looking for a new performance ball. If you need a distance ball, definitely check out the Scout. If you're a middle of the road player, the Captain is a nice blend of the two. You can check them out at www.arisgolf.com
