What do these specs mean?

Compression

How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.

Cover

Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.

Layers

2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.

Trajectory

How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.

Spin

Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).

Tier

Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.

A lightweight three-piece urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with 72 compression delivering the lowest long-game spin in the Vice lineup with a high launch, plus soft feel and tour-level greenside spin, for moderate and slower swing speed players.

Who It’s For

The Vice Pro Air is built for slow-to-moderate swing speeds (roughly 80–95 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, slow swing speed, seniors, soft feel, high launch. In the Vice lineup, the Pro Air is the softest, highest-launching urethane ball, sitting well below the Vice Pro — and it’s the ball Vice replaced the discontinued Pro Soft with. Vice’s product page lists it as Ranked Gold by Golf Digest.

Feel

With a compression of 72 and a urethane cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.

Spin Profile

Expect low driver and long-iron spin — the lowest in the Vice lineup — traded for a higher launch that keeps carry up. Around the green, the cover gives you tour-level greenside spin and one-hop-stop performance on full wedges.

Trajectory & Construction

A high-launching ball — better for golfers who struggle to get the ball up or want maximum carry. The 3-piece construction uses a three-piece design — one mantle layer manages driver spin while the cover handles wedge grip. Performs well in cooler temperatures.

Price & Value

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

Buy it if

  • You sit in the 80–95 mph range and want a ball that works across your bag.
  • Greenside spin and stopping power matter more than durability.
  • You play a lot of shoulder-season or cold-weather golf.
