We bought around 2000 balls for a charity tournament, and the boxes were all labeled Made in Taiwan. Foremost, which does Vice, OnCore, the Maxlfi Tour Stuff and Wilson Staff model and TP5/5x core & mantles is in Taiwan. Snell MTB and MTB-X are made by Nassau in Korea. 6 Quote MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies. With your support we can keep it that way.

Jonny_Crash 292 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I often wonder how much of an opinion about a golf ball is confirmation bias and/or cognitive dissonance. The differences are more or less negligible between these balls.

Snell balls are designed and engineered by someone with decades of experience. That makes a big difference when you consider the actual product. true, but Foremost has decades of building ball experience too. So they get some credit for making a bazillion golf balls. I like the Snell story better, but as far as the balls go, I find them both very capable. I said both were made in Korea, I really just meant to say both were made overseas, and by very reputable ball manufactures, they are both going to be pretty decent quality. All that said, I still want to hear how these Zero's do. 2 Quote WITB: Driver: SIM2 Max 12° - Accra TZ6 M4 FW Wood: Gen5 0311 7w Fujikura Motore X F3 Utility: King Forged 20.5° Utility - Catalyst X Irons: D7 Forged GW-5i - Recoils Wedges: JB 52° , 286 56° Putter: MySpider X Cart: Onewheel XR+ Ball: Z-Star Diamond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonSal 565 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 As a 9, it would probably be presumptuous of me to consider the ball to be a major factor in my quality of play. I had an awful time trying to club myself with wound balls when I started out, so I simply didn't play them. Now they don't exist; so much for that problem. How I landed on such a self-indulgently expensive ball choice when my playing it may not be absolutely necessary is also random. I got a dozen as a gift. I did reasonably well playing them. My previously played model went out of production. New regular ball. No point making things more complicated than they are already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice most definitely has an "out-of-the-box" approach to golf balls. Anyone gaming "The Drip"? And, if you happen upon one of these, hang onto it as they are a limited edition and may one day be a collectible. I played the drip and felt it was okay in all aspects imo. Honestly I liked the color of it but I'd probably do better with the pro/pro plus.

magician2 5 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi Guys and maybe gals too. I tested the Vice Zeros today. Yes they do go farther, maybe 10 to 15 yds more. I tried the Drive, Tour, Tour Pros. This Zero with my swing speed had the old expected crack sound and I actually had several balls back up. Think Ill get some more before they are sold out. Have fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketratnik 11 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Tried mine today around the green against a Chrome Soft and a Z Star XV. Was definitely harder than the Chrome Soft and fairly similar to the XV. Seemed to produce more spin on different shots around the green. I felt like I could get this ball to check more than the Chrome Soft and a bit more than the XV when I needed/wanted to. Reminded me of a TP5 in terms of how it reacted around the green, not the same feel though. Still trying to process that, but I was able to do things with the Zero that I was able to do with the TP5. Taking it out on the course tomorrow. Hopefully they don't spin out of control for me on full shots. It was the problem I had with the TP5 and ended up re-homing those balls :-).

vagabon68 84 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Well all I can say about the vice pro zeros is they are stupid. I mean stupid long added 5 to 10 yards. Stupid straight the went on beautiful lines in which aimed and the stopping on the greens was amazing. Usually I would hit a green and hop off on most shots but these would be within a yard if not close to the divot. So these are now my go too balls. My old gammers were pv1,1x, or z stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizunocorgi 2 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Got my shipment in last night and they're garbage so everything said about them likely being manufactured in a different facility is probably true. They bear the "pro" name and are barely cheaper than the excellent Pro Plus but they feel like a Noodle off irons. The putting alignment that's usually another reason I stick with Vice (besides price) over Pro V's is now printed over dimples in a more haphazard manner that makes it much less useful for alignment purposes. It's disappointing that they took a ball that belongs with their Tour/Drive lines and stuck the Pro name on it because I thought it was going to be something I would use at a good price point. Should have ignored the hype and stuck with the balls I've actually used and like. 1 Quote Driver - SIM (10.5°) - Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black (S) 3 Hybrid - Z H85 (19°) - Project X HZRDUS Black (S) 5 Hybrid - XP-1 (25°) - Vizard (R) 4I-GW - JPX 900 Hot Metal - Nippon NS (R - +0.5) SW - TW-w4 (56°/12 - Nippon Modus 125) LW - TW-w4 (60°/8 - Nippon Modus 125) Putter - Kirkland Signature KS-1 Ball - Tour B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketratnik 11 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Well played them yesterday. They were a really solid golf ball. Definitely a little more click to them than the XV and Chrome Soft. Performed well around and on the greens. It was a bit windy and they didn't spin out or balloon on me. Other than me spraying them all over the place at was a ball that was worth the price.

Londo 220 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Really interesting price point, especially with the sale. I am curious but I don't think there is any way I would buy 5 dozen of these without more feedback first. It really seemed that they hurried these to market, going through a new manufacturer. I would be pretty surprised if these balls were as good or better than their other Pro balls. Wish I could just get a sleeve and compare to Pro/Pro Plus and another urethane ball! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO and this is just IMHO I think they designed this ball to compete in the under $25 catagory with the Srixon Soft Feel and Srixon Marathon at Wal Mart. I know Wal Mart now carries Vice balls--- Before I joined my current club I was a big fan of and played both Vice and Snell balls. Both again IMHO are quality balls and if I went back to playing Pro Comp or big money matches I would have no hesitation of playing Snell or Vice. These balls I have not tried yet. My current course has a big Srixon presence so in the last couple of years in various events I have won a plethera of Srixon balls so I play them. But I may for under $25 get a dozen at Wally World to try.
