A three-piece Surlyn-covered (tough, cut-resistant cover) ball with 95 compression delivering balanced distance, durability, and mid-range spin for recreational and mid-handicap golfers seeking value without sacrificing three-piece construction quality.
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.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

Who It’s For
The Vice Tour is built for faster swing speeds (105 mph and above). It suits golfers who prioritize mid handicap, budget friendly, mid-to-high swing speed, recreational. In the Vice lineup, the Tour sits firmer than the Vice Pro and softer than the Vice Pro Plus.
Feel
With a compression of 95 and a surlyn cover, feel is firm and explosive — rewards fast swings with maximum energy transfer and a click at impact.
Spin Profile
Expect balanced driver spin — neither squirrelly in the wind nor knuckling short. Around the green, the cover gives you moderate greenside bite with excellent durability — the cover shrugs off cart paths and wedge grooves.
Trajectory & Construction
A mid-flight window — versatile across course conditions. The 3-piece construction uses a three-piece design — one mantle layer manages driver spin while the cover handles wedge grip. Works best in warmer conditions.
Price & Value
At $29.99 per dozen (direct-to-consumer, no retail markup), the Tour delivers premium materials at a meaningful discount to the big brands.
Buy it if
- You swing 105+ mph and you want low spin off the driver.
- You lose more than a sleeve a round and don’t want to grimace every time.
Skip it if
- Your swing speed is under 95 mph — you won’t compress it enough to get the intended distance.
- You score in the 70s and greenside spin is your scoring advantage.
