chisag Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 7 minutes ago, GolfSpy SAM said: Dear fellow actor, Not everyone is as comfortable in front of the camera as we are While we DO encourage all testers to post photos of themselves in the Introduction, it is by no means mandatory, as I've met many people (as have you, I'm sure) who absolutely dread being in pictures. No reason to make someone do something they dread - the review is often plenty of pressure, especially for first-time testers. That being said, I agree with you that it really DOES help us get to know each other and to have a visual to imagine the tester out on the course with the equipment. ... Good points and I hear ya. That said, it doesn't have to be a close up or even looking at the camera. Just on the tee/green or at the range or casually at home to give us some idea of who we are reading. Mandatory is a bit ... well ... too mandatory but strongly suggested should be fair. ... Thankfully it seems most already include at least some kind of picture so it is just a very small nit pick.

I played the Tour for a while and I prefer a softer ball and didn't mind the feel. Plus the price is right with the Tour. @Skrek74…below is what I’ve found on the Vice website. The feeling of the Vice Tour is similar to the Vice Pro. It is softer than the Vice Drive and the Vice Pro Plus but a bit more firm than the Vice Pro Air. For most golfers with medium swing speeds the feedback will be comfortable. I hope this helps.

I suspect the Drive is a ball designed to help golfers who need more distance, rather than those looking for an artistic palette for stroke making. Different balls for different strokes.

I played the Tour for a while and I prefer a softer ball and didn't mind the feel. Plus the price is right with the Tour. When we are talking similar overall compression and cover material, I find that a 3-piece ball usually feels harder than a 2-piece ball due to the mantle layer which tended to be the firmest layer of any multilayer ball. I cannot comment on the 2024 versions, but the 2020 versions of the Tour and the Drive were also spec’d at the same overall compression and the Tour definitely felt harder to me.

Lefty11 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I recently got a free sleeve of Vice Drive balls. While I did like them, they don’t quite fit my game—they were a bit firmer than I prefer.
