LoganT 202 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Has anyone tried any of the balls from the oncore or vice lineups. If so what are your opinions on them and which do you prefer? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bens197 6,187 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm playing Vice Pro Plus right now. I was loyal to the ProV1x but $4 a ball isn't happening. The consumer direct model works because this product can hold its own. All the boxes check off for me... Affordable Durable Great feel Consistent ball flight As mentioned above, I agree with the spin around the greens. It's good, not the best. They're worth a try, I am very pleased.

MaxEntropy 6,624 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 If you are looking for other balls, I would also recommend getting a Snell MTB trial pack of Black and Red. Reviews on them are just rolling in and I have been very happy with the Reds. 5 Quote Driver: Tour B JGR 9.5* Recoil 460ES cut to 45" 3W: Tour B JGR 15* Recoil 460ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-PW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 AW: S5 52* SW: 588 LW: MD3 Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: Tour B Stand Bag Ball: Z-Star Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Tester Starting Driver Speed on PRGR Monitor: 102 mph Final Driver Speed (end of Level 2): 120 mph Link to post Share on other sites

forzabucks 58 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I've been enjoying playing Vice balls. My home course has a ton of water and it's just not worth losing $3-4 balls. I also love the Vice style/design. I use their gloves, towel, and umbrella as well. Always great customer service and shipping. Great customization options too if you are into that sort of thing.

blackngold_blood 4,291 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I am a huge fan of the OnCore Elixr. Incredibly soft feel, very good spin, and holds its line really well in the wind.

justnred 35 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I just got a box of vice pro+ and played my first round with them on Saturday. So far I am hitting them pretty well and they seem as advertised. As mentioned above they seem close if not equal to prov1 balls, and hopefully my opinion doesn't change after playing with them more with them. After reading what you guys have said I think my next batch will be OnCore and/or snell and see how those feel. It seems that most guys are over paying $50 a dozen for golf balls, so I am glad there are some quality options out there for us. 1 Quote G30 Driver G30 3 and 5 Wood i200 red dot 4-U Milled Grind 54 and 58 Scotty Cameron Fastback Select Link to post Share on other sites

They are direct-to-consumer just like Vice & Encore, and they have many great, high-end qualities to them. At a mere $31.99 and free ship, it's a no-brainer to try the Snell MTB test pack... https://www.snellgolf.com/products/mtb-test-pack-golf-balls?variant=4722213257257 I am currently writing up my final official eval on the Reds, and will be playing the Blacks this weekend for the first time for an unofficial review. When I received the Blacks, they also came with a very nice "thank-you" note from Snell with a live ink signature from the owner himself-very class and these have been amazing to play with. 2 Quote In my DLX Cart Bag: Driver: G410 SFT, set to 9.5*, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 60, stiff (MGS Official 2019 Tester) 3W: G-Series SF TEC, set to 16*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 5W: G400 SFT, set to 19*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 7W: G410 SFT, set to 22*.

PMookie 12,499 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I played all 18 yesterday with the OnCore Elixr. It flat-out performed! Great distance, great spin and feel around the greens, and very good in the wind. I hit one bad tee shot where I thought I had sliced it. It never sliced and ended-up just off the fairway. Maybe there really is something to the interior weighting they talk about. It's a very straight ball!
