Can’t wait to see the data on it This was really surprising to me to hear as well. From what I have heard/read so far, the spin was down on the V3 compared to the V2. Maybe by the testing parameters it is still too spinny. I was thinking about putting it in play once I need a refresh on golf balls so I'm really looking forward to the results. @chisag has played the V3 and so far it sounded like it was comparable to the Maxfli Tours. I know when I played the V2 last year, I LOVED the feel and thought it played well off irons, but the spin was way too high on driver.

I have been playing the new V3s recently as I burned through all of my demo V1x balls. The V3 isn't bad, but the high spin off of long clubs is noticible. Distance as well as bigger slices are suffering, especially compared to the V1x. Handling around the greens has been good. I do like the feel of the V3.

After spending and embarrassing amount of time studying studying the 2021 test and then mooching as much time in a simulator that had all the diagnostics including spin instead of just the holy total distance especially for driver and then trying more different balls on an actual course that I will admit to my wife that I bought I have come to realize that to a point harder compression balls are not only not automatically bad for slower swing speed players but if that mid to harder compression ball ticks off all the other check marks for spin, trajectory, short game spin, putter feel, etc. then its possible to be the best ball for that slower swing player. Being outdriven by 15 yards by a dude who picks a ball solely on total driver distance including doesnt faze me like it used to, I just smile when that BXS hop and stops on the green from 15 yards behind him and his ball lands perfects and rolls way off the back of the green.

I seem to recall a HQ recommendation a year or 2 ago that recommended both for slower swing speeds - unfortunately I can't find the it now. The MGS 2021 golf ball test had both the Vice Pro and Pro Plus performing very well at the slow swig speed, despite the Vice website saying the Pro Plus is for "advanced golfers with high swing speeds (110+ mph driver swing speed)." tony@CIC and OdinSnipes414 1 1 Quote In my TaylorMade Supreme Golf Bag: Driver: PXG Gen 6 0311 10.5° with Motore X F3 R Shaft 45" 3W: Callaway 3W Mavrik Max w/ UST Helium Black 4F2 5W: Callaway Epic Flash (+1/N) w/ Project X Evenflow Green R Flex Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha 4H (+1/N) w/ UST Recoil 760 ES F2 Irons: Callaway Apex CF19 with UST Recoil F2 shafts Wedges: Callaway MD5 54° and 58° with KBS steel shafts.

Plus only titleist and Srixon from the major OEMs released new balls I think. Oh and Mizuno. Callaway will be next year as will Bridgestone I think.. DTC brands don’t really count the LAGolf ball was terrible, the PXG ball is not great. Vice has not done anything new. Snell has a new ball I would like to try but I have so many balls I just can’t order any. Vice buys expired patents so they only do new stuff when they but a patent. tony@CIC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being outdriven by 15 yards by a dude who picks a ball solely on total driver distance including doesnt faze me like it used to, I just smile when that BXS hop and stops on the green from 15 yards behind him and his ball lands perfects and rolls way off the back of the green. Having just tested them... Id give the sugar pures' a try. not super rock hard like a TP5 / ProV but not super super soft like my B RXS either.
