Which Vice Golf Ball Should You Play? (Based On 2025 Test Results)

The golf ball is the most important piece of equipment in your bag. It’s the only thing you use on every shot and the 2025 Ball Test presented by UNRL showed once again that the differences between golf balls are often bigger than the differences between clubs.

Vice’s current lineup includes Pro Plus, Pro, Pro Air, Tour and Drive. Only the Pro Plus, Pro and Pro Air were included in MyGolfSpy’s 2025 robot test. The Tour and Drive models remain value-oriented options for golfers who want distance and durability over tour-level spin.

Remember that the key differences here aren’t about your swing speed. They’re about spin, flight and how the ball behaves from tee to green. Here’s what the data says about Vice.

High-speed testing (115 mph driver/90 mph 7-iron)

In high-speed testing, Vice’s lineup was clearly separated by spin and flight. The Pro Plus offered the lowest driver spin and firmest flight while the Pro Air launched higher with slightly less total distance. The Pro sat comfortably in between.

• Vice Pro Plus → Firm and fast, with low spin rates off the tee. Its flatter iron flight and mid-tier wedge spin (5,823 rpm) made it one of the most controlled Vice models for high-speed players.
• Vice Pro → Balanced from tee to green, with moderate launch and spin levels. Its wedge spin (5,773 rpm) kept it near the middle of the pack overall, providing a good mix of feel and stopping power.
• Vice Pro Air → The softest-feeling Vice model. It launched higher with slightly lower wedge spin (5,592 rpm), trading greenside grab for additional peak height and softer feel.

Mid-speed testing (100 mph driver/80 mph 7-iron)

At mid swing speeds, the Pro Plus maintained strong total distance, the Pro offered mid-flight control and the Pro Air helped players launch it higher with less effort.

• Vice Pro Plus → Mid-low spin off the driver (≈2,500 rpm) with a flatter trajectory. Wedge spin (5,823 rpm) held steady and consistent, offering a firm feel and strong distance potential.
• Vice Pro → The most balanced option, with steady driver launch and wedge spin (5,773 rpm) that mirrored the high-speed test.
• Vice Pro Air → The clear high-launch ball of the group. Its lower driver spin and higher peak height make it good for mid-speed swings needing extra carry.

Low-speed testing (85 mph driver/65 mph 7-iron)

At slower speeds, the Pro Air’s higher flight helped it maintain carry distance while the Pro Plus retained more rollout. The Pro again landed between those extremes, offering balanced height and spin.

• Vice Pro Plus → Still firm and slightly higher-spinning at slow speeds (≈3,250 rpm off the driver), providing solid total distance and mid-spin control. Wedge spin averaged 5,823 rpm.
• Vice Pro → A mid-launch, mid-spin performer that produced reliable flight and stopping power. Its 5,773 rpm wedge spin and stable iron flight make it a consistent option across the bag.
• Vice Pro Air → The softest and easiest to launch. Its lower spin (≈2,800 rpm) and 5,592 rpm wedge spin helped maximize carry and descent angle for slower swingers needing height and soft landings.

Picks by performance goal

If you’re chasing a specific outcome, whether it be distance, spin or a specific flight, here’s the Vice ball to consider:

• Max Distance → Vice Pro Plus — Lowest driver spin and flattest flight in the lineup. Best for high-speed players or anyone looking to minimize excess spin.
• Low Spin (tee-to-green) → Vice Pro Air — Consistently lower spin across all swing speeds (≈5,592 rpm on wedges). Straighter, higher and softer than most tour balls.
• High Greenside Spin → Vice Pro Plus — The highest wedge spin (5,823 rpm) of the three Vice balls tested.
• High Flight/Stopping Power → Vice Pro Air — Higher launch and descent angle across every speed group. Helps shots hold firm greens.

Final thoughts

From the lower-spin control of the Pro Plus to the balanced performance of the Pro and the higher-launch, softer-feeling Pro Air, there’s a clear option for nearly every type of player in the Vice lineup. The 2025 Ball Test shows that spin, flight and feel, not just swing speed, are what matter most when choosing the right Vice golf ball for your game.
