Vice's three-ball Pro family splits its lineup by compression: Pro Air is the softest and lowest-spinning, Pro sits in the middle, and Pro Plus is the firmest, highest-spinning, four-piece ball in the group. The latter is built specifically for players north of 100 mph who want maximum short-game control out of a tour-caliber ball. At $36 in bulk, it's priced to attract players who game the flagship offerings from Titleist, Callaway, and TaylorMade but are sick of paying $57 a dozen but don’t want to give up performance.
We put Vice Pro Plus through our standard golf ball testing protocols, and the results make a clear case for exactly the player Vice built this ball for, along with an equally compelling case against it for everyone else.
How We Tested the Vice Pro Plus
We put the Vice Pro Plus through our published golf ball testing protocols using the SkyTrak ST Max launch monitor. That means human swings under strict bands for swing speed, impact quality, and delivery dynamics.
To see performance from tee to green, we test driver, 7-iron, and 50-yard wedge shots with each ball.
We tested 43 golf balls in total for 2026 then translated the raw data into 1-10 scores in the categories that matter most to your game. That lets you easily see how each ball stacks up to the field.

Vice Pro Plus Specs, Pricing & Performance
Cover: Urethane
Layers: 4-Piece
Price: $41.99/dozen ($36/dozen bulk, 6-dozen minimum)
Vice Pro Plus produced a high-spin, mid-launch driver profile in our test, and settled into a mid-spin, mid-launch profile with the 7-iron. In our 50-yard wedge test, it climbed back to the high-spin, mid-launch tier.
That's expected from a firm, high-spin, four-piece tour level ball built for players who need that extra shot of spin to optimize launch, apex, and carry distances. This can be particularly beneficial for faster-swinging players who use a low-spin driver.
Shot | Spin | Launch |
Driver | High | Mid |
7-Iron | Mid | Mid |
50-Yard Shot | High | Mid |
Distance: 6.7/10
Pro Plus finished 35th of 43 balls in our distance test, totaling 238.0 yards. The 136.9 mph ball speed — right at our full field's average — is a sign that the 105+ mph swingers who get Pro Plus to peak at the right apex can expect to see satisfying distance.
Still, Pro Plus isn't specifically a distance ball, and Vice doesn't market it as one. Pro Plus is built to maximize spin and control for players with real swing speed, and the same firm, high-spin construction that makes the short game sing can limit total distance if that spin creeps too high.

Stopping Power: 7.4/10
Pro Plus finished 23rd of 43 balls in our stopping power test, right at the middle of the field. Rollout on our 7-iron test was 10.4 yards, with a 41.4-degree descent angle and 24.0-yard apex.
That's a solid, unremarkable result on its own, and a little surprising given how firm and high-spin this ball is everywhere else. The real stopping-power story with Pro Plus shows up closer to the green, not from 150 yards out.

Wedge Control: 9.2/10
Pro Plus finished 2nd of 43 balls in our wedge control test. For a ball designed to compete with the top tour balls, that’s a huge win for Vice. A 50-yard spin rate of 7,329 RPM paired with just 1.6 yards of rollout, the tightest of any ball we've tested, produces a wedge game that rivals anything on tour.
If elite greenside spin and control is the biggest thing you want most from your ball, Pro Plus belongs on your short list of balls to try.

50-Yard Spin (RPM) | 7,329 |
50-Yard Launch | 31.8° |
Wedge Control Score | 9.2 |
Accuracy: 7.2/10
X-type balls like Pro Plus – the four-piece, higher-spin siblings within their respective lineups – aren’t designed for accuracy. They lean more into workability, and that helps explain why Vice Pro Plus finished in the bottom half of our Accuracy scoring.
With the irons, Pro Plus generated 165 RPM of sidespin, enough to be workable for the player who seeks it, while flying just 2.5 yards offline on average.
It was a similar story with driver, where we saw an average of 197 RPM of sidespin, with a wider dispersion of 12.5 yards.
This fits someone who controls driver well enough that a firm, high-spin ball doesn't amplify the miss, and who wants that spin working in their favor once they're hitting into greens.
If your driver dispersion is already a question mark, Pro Plus's firm, high-spin construction isn't going to calm it down.

Value: 7.4/10
At $36 in bulk, Pro Plus's value score of 7.4 represents a fair bargain for a ball that delivers one of the best short-game performances we've measured, even with the below-average distance numbers factored in.
For the player this ball is actually built for — real swing speed, a reliable driver, and a priority on greenside control — that value is even more enticing.
Who Is the Vice Pro Plus For?
Pro Plus is for the player with real swing speed — 100 mph and up — who trusts their driver and wants the best possible short-game spin to go with it. Our test revealed Pro Plus as one of the top wedge performers, exactly the profile Vice built this ball to deliver.
It's a tougher recommendation if your driver dispersion needs help, or if total distance matters more to you than greenside control. In that case, going down one step of firmness in Vice’s own lineup to Vice Pro is likely the better fit.
