Vice Pro Golf ball compression, specs & review

A three-piece cast urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with 89 compression offering a balanced spin-to-distance ratio and tour-quality feel, designed as a versatile all-rounder for golfers with medium swing speeds. MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test named it the Great Buy for moderate swing speeds.

Who It’s For

The Vice Pro is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize mid-to-low handicap, mid-to-high swing speed, all-around, great value. In the Vice lineup, the Pro sits firmer than the Vice Pro Air and softer than the Vice Tour.

Feel

With a compression of 89 and a urethane cover, feel is firm and explosive, with a crisp click at impact that fast swingers tend to like.

Spin Profile

Expect mid-range driver spin and no distance bonus: carry ranked 37th and 41st of 48 at 86 and 102 mph in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test, so the case for it is control, not yards. Around the green the cast urethane cover gives you real grip and a tight pattern: 35-yard wedge dispersion was 50% tighter than its group in that test, though we rate the ball mid-spin, not high.

Trajectory & Construction

A mid-flight window that runs low at slower speeds: at 86 mph its apex ranked 45th of 48 in the robot data. The three-piece cast urethane build tested tight off the tee: driver dispersion 56% tighter than its group at 86 mph and 67% tighter at 102 mph in that test. Works best in warmer conditions.

Price & Value

At $39.99 per dozen (direct-to-consumer, no retail markup), the Pro delivers premium materials at a meaningful discount to the big brands.

Buy it if

• You swing in the 90s or low 100s; MyGolfSpy named it the Great Buy for moderate swing speeds in its 2026 robot test.
• You want cast urethane at $18 under a Pro V1 and don’t mind ordering direct.

Skip it if

• Most of your rounds are cold ones; step down to the Vice Pro Air, the Vice we list as cold-weather suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the compression of the Vice Pro golf ball?

The Vice Pro has a compression of about 89, which puts it in the mid-compression range. At 89 it is the middle of Vice’s three urethane balls, softer than the Pro Plus and firmer than the Pro Air, aimed at medium swing speeds. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.

Who should play the Vice Pro?

The Vice Pro is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize mid-to-low handicap, mid-to-high swing speed, all-around, great value.

What swing speed is the Vice Pro designed for?

Vice aims it at medium swing speeds, which is where the robot data found its value; at 116 mph its carry ranked 36th of 48. A slower swing compresses it fine. Its one weak test number was iron dispersion, 94% wider than its group on a 7-iron at 80 mph club speed, so check your own iron pattern before buying in bulk.

Does the Vice Pro have high greenside spin?

Moderately. The cast urethane cover grips, but we rate the Pro mid-spin; 7-iron spin ranked 40th of 48 in that test, and the Vice Pro Plus is the Vice for players who want more.

Is the Vice Pro good in cold weather?

Not especially. We keep it off our cold-weather list; the softer Vice Pro Air is the Vice ball we do list.

How much does the Vice Pro cost?

MSRP is $39.99 per dozen.
