GolfSpy_APH Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I saw this package on sale for their Black Friday deal and I'll just say this. I would have no issues playing it, I just think it would be stupid hard to find at times wouldn't it? tony@CIC and GaDawg 2 Quote as of Oct 5, 2024 (Past WITB) Driver: GT2 with Graphite Design AD CQ - check out the Driver Shootout!

TylorJudd Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Love it. I just had a shipment from Vice show up on wednesday. They make really nice products at a good price. I'm in agreement with @GolfSpy_APH, I'd play those in a heartbeat. The Pro Neon Drip are great, the gold pro are great, my wife plays the vice drive and she loves them for a higher handicapper. Their gator divot repairs are really awesome too especially for $10 tony@CIC and GolfSpy_APH 2 Quote I like golf. You should like golf. If life is tough, play more golf!

GolfSpy_BNG Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’m a convert to Vice and picked up 5 dozen Pro Soft a few weeks ago and will more than likely pick up 5 more before the season starts. Absolutely love it. As for the black, I’d play it without any reservations if it performed and I could find it. I sometimes struggle to find a white ball so I’m better a black one would be impossible for me. tony@CIC and GolfSpy_APH 2 Quote What is in my Ghost MGS anyday Maverick or Jones MyGolfSpy bag Driver: GT2 with an Aretera Alpha One Blue 55/4 shaft @ 44.75” or GD VF 5s @45” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" TSR2 7 wood shaft TBD Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: Apex TiFusion 4-PW 2* flat with PX Hazrdus Gen4 Silver 75s Wedges: JP Camber 48 & 55 shaft TBD Putter: 2024 Phantom 5.5 @ 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony@CIC Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 I play the Pro Plus in white - great ball for the (5 doz) price. But black??? I think it'd be distracting especially off the tee.

I wouldn’t be distracted by the ball I don’t think but imagine finding them on the ground in the rough would be very difficult I do agree though that the 5 dozen price is great and the balls perform well tony@CIC 1 Quote What is in my Ghost MGS anyday Maverick or Jones MyGolfSpy bag Driver: GT2 with an Aretera Alpha One Blue 55/4 shaft @ 44.75” or GD VF 5s @45” Fairway: F85 3 wood with a XPhplexx Agera X @ 42.5” F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" TSR2 7 wood shaft TBD Driving Iron: Rapture 2-Iron Irons: Apex TiFusion 4-PW 2* flat with PX Hazrdus Gen4 Silver 75s Wedges: JP Camber 48 & 55 shaft TBD Putter: 2024 Phantom 5.5 @ 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested Oncore is offering a buy 2 dozen get 1 dozen free. Also, if you are military, retired, law enforcement they have a loyalty program. ELIXR 2022 Under that program is 24/dozen, Vero X1 32/ dozen and VeroX2 40/dozen. That’s how I get them and they have free shipping under the program. So, another direct to consumer option.

Jonny_Crash Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I bought a dozen of the black ones.... absolutely impossible to find in the rough. They are shiny, so if you can get the sun on them they are easy to find. I do like to use them on par 3s and also putting. They are novel and fun. IMHO, the Vice Shade balls are the absolute best for novelty and visibility. They are so easy to pick up in the air and find in the grass. Highly recommend!

Berg Ryman Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 When I started out on my local par 3 I used a black 8 ball like you'd get from a mini golf course because I didn't know any better. That ball was so easy to find on the fairway and on the green, the rough though... different story. I've also used the gold ones as well, which led to some interesting looks from playing partners. I also used the black Volvik Vivid for a round... that ball just isn't very good for me, but it was nifty to see the color contract for sure. As someone who has a tough time tracking white sometimes, Vice definitely intrigues with the different color options, and admittedly I'm looking at patterns like Pix and Truvis for my 2023 ball selection so this one might not be out of the running yet. A perfect world? Someone relaunches a urethane covered pink ball like Bridgestone did with the limited Pink B330RX. I'm playing pink golf balls with tour quality covers in a heartbeat if they get introduced, I guarantee you that.

Golf2Much Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'd have no issue finding playing a black ball. Heck, I've played with Srixon Divide, Calaway "soccer balls" and other multi-color/multi-graphic ball. As mentioned above, it's not hitting it, it's finding it! I guess encouraging people playing a black golf ball is one way to ensure continued sales! tony@CIC 1 Quote Ping G430 Max driver 10.5 degrees with an Alta Quick45 gram senior shaft Callaway Epic 3 wood, Project X Evenflow Green 45 gram senior shaft Callaway GBB Epic Heavenwood, with a Mitsubishi Diamana 50 gram senior shaft Ping G 20.5 degree 7 wood, with a stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Ping G 26 degree hybrid, stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Callaway Paradym X irons, 7-AW with Aldila Ascent Blue 50 graphite shafts Edison wedges: 50, 55 and 60 degree, KBS Tour Graphite A flex shafts Putters: L.A.B.

Phil W Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have been playing the Pro Soft in lime green for about 5 years now, It is a very good ball but in black I had better buy 20 dozen instead of 5. I think black would be hard to see n the fairway. In the rough never find it. That is just me. tony@CIC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flsw19 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I have a Black Vice Pro Plus; given to me because I have also played the Pro Plus Gold. Gold's are hard to find - I play the Gold on Par 3's I'm likely to reach. Makes for interesting conversations on the tee when playing with folks I have not played with before. Ping Ballnamic fit me into Pro Plus. like the red yellow shade and green balls otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
