Vice Drive Performance Notes
Great price, good distance. If those are your top priorities, Vice Drive might be your new favorite golf ball.
But our test revealed Vice Drive can do more than that. In our 7-iron test, Vice Drive displayed a mid-spin profile, and registered the second-highest spin of any 2-piece ball in our test. That's a pleasant surprise for players who want to turn loger drives off the tee into more Greens in Regulation.
