Jonny_Crash Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I played with the black pro plus balls today. They look great and I love them.... unless you hit into the rough. They were near impossible to find in the deeper stuff. The best bet was to get some reflection off of them, but I ended up losing two just by not being able to find them in the areas where I hit them. Guess I just need to hit the fairway more often tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver: Ping 425LST 9* (Aldila Rouge White 130) 3 Wood: Sub70 Pro (13) (HZRDS Black 60) 3U: Sub70 (19.5) (True Temper Project X U) Irons: Sub70 699 Pro (5-Gap) (Dynamic Gold S300) Wedges: Vokey SM8 54 and 58 (10S) (Project X) Putter: Some old green Nike Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of other ball manufacturers in addition to Foremost. What makes it complicated, however, is we don't really know the full list of DTC brands produced by Foremost Actually, Taylormade’s entered that partnership with Foremost in 2019 (Nassau was exclusively producing the core/mantle assemblies for their urethane models until that point). A bit ambiguous as to what the partnership entailed, but it didn’t appear to be an outright acquisition. The more likely scenario was an equity investment to essentially reserve permanent capacity, however it did not appear to impact Foremost’s larger customer’s much (DSG, Wilson, Volvik, Vice). It will be interesting to see what happens to this partnership following Taylormade’s acquisition of the Nassau factory in late 2021 since it seems a bit redundant given that they now have full control of their factory of choice.

Tommy T. Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I haven't played the Pro Plus, but I do play the Vice Pro and I love it. It has green stopping power that I don't seem to get from other brands of balls. I have tried several other brands that advertise "Spin Skin" and other brand handles that are advertising slogans, but I get the performance that I want at a much lower price.

Pincher Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 As attested here, the balls must be good. But beware of customer service. IF you you any problem with your order, it will be a big problem. I ordered the Pro in red. It came in orange. They would not exchange without me paying the postage back to Germany. I did so regretably. Then the balls sat in German customs for a month. Vice did not want to send me the correct balls until they received them. Then my balls finally come. They only send my 5 dozen when I bought the promo 6 dozen for 5. The 6 dozen is what I received the first time but not the replacement. I ordered my balls in early April. Now it is June and the order is yet to be complete.

RollingGreens Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Still love playing the all white pro plus. When I need to be fancy I always get a few boxes of prov1x for Christmas that I use but I love these as a true gamer. They have some slight durability issues with sand and tend to wear a bit faster but no different that what you may expect for the cost tony@CIC 1 Quote Stealth 2 Plus 9deg Kai' li Red Stealth 2 13deg Aldilla Rogue Silver Stealth 2 15deg Aldilla Rogue Silver JPX 921 Hot Metal 4-PW Nippon Modus 120s SM8 54 and 58deg Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Titleist ProV1 Hoofer Stand Bag Stewart Q Follow Electric Caddie 300 PRO Rangefinder Official Nippon Regio B+ Driver Shaft Review Official Stewart Q Follow Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m for the Pro Plus shade, and it’s out of stock … but I’ve been mixing in their Vice Pro (and TM TP5) as of late due to Snell still restricting purchases to two dozen at time. So no $28.99 per dzn opportunity with them. tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver: G410 SFT 10.5* 3W: Speedzone 14.5* Hybrid: TS2 19* & 21* Irons: Forged Tec One Length (5i-GW) Wedges: T22 55* & 59* Putter: 002 Mid-Mallet Ball: Callaway Chrome Soft LS & Prime-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Golfer Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I don't get the shade balls. It looks like they were red balls and the red wore off because they were submerged in water and mudd for two years. What's the appeal? But, thumbs up to Vice for trying different products.

tony@CIC Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Just got my 6 doz order (one free doz) I'll take all of those down to Florida since I've got a 2 doz here in Ohio that I'll keep. I really like the Pro Plus but it did take 2 weeks to get the order delivered. It spent a week at Fedex's Paris facility. That's one thing II liked about Snell - my order was always delivered within 3 days. On the other hand the VIce 5 + free doz comes out to just over 24. hard to beat.

I have to say after playing with a dozen of the shade balls... it is now my favorite color (pattern?). I have never played with a ball that is easier to see or to find in the rough. Something about the contrasting color makes them stick out. I hope they keep making them as I plan on playing them going forward. (That being said, I understand it isn't for everyone).

mynerds Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Picked up a box of pure white Pro Plus balls at target this weekend for a planned DIY ball-fitting project. If anyone is looking for the black or gold versions (both sold out online), they're at least still in stock at my target. I'd have to imagine they were restocked or people just tend to not go to target for golf balls . They also had the Drive balls but no Pro's, Tour's, or any of their other types.

I believe Target is phasing out the Pro Plus, which is why most stores have the black and gold. I've seen the Drive but the only time I've seen Pro is the Pro Drip. No other models. Maybe there's a new version of Pro Plus coming out? My big concern for Target is that the better quality balls update every couple years and I'm not sure Target will update their inventory.

GolfSpy_APH Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 So after much searching there is no doubt that the Vice golf balls are the best bang for buck here in Switzerland. I know the Pro Plus likely fits my game the best, however at 208 chf for 60 it is the most expensive. I am more curious if anyone has tried the Pro Zero. I know it isn't as highly rated and all that I have found in my quick search was it is much harder of a golf ball. Which is a feeling I am not opposed to. The price is near 50 chf cheaper for 60 so the value is certainly there. Love to hear some thoughts from spys who have used the Pro Zero.
