With the new Vice TOUR, you benefit from the technological improvements, including an updated hardness distribution, a higher coefficient of restitution (COR) and lower driver spin, which result in more distance off the tee. he new 312 dimple design features an increase in the diameter of dimples which reduces air resistance and results in a more stable trajectory of the golf ball and higher ball speed. The high spin around the green allows for aggressive shots to tough pin positions.
What Is the Vice Tour Golf Ball?
Construction & Materials
A 3‑piece design featuring a Surlyn® ionomer cover, diverging from the premium urethane covers but offering enhanced durability and cost-efficiency. Includes a High Energy Speed Core (HESC or ESC) for optimized energy transfer and added distance. Aerodynamic design utilizes either a 312 or 392 dimple pattern, improving flight stability and reducing dispersion.
Performance Overview
Feel & Swing Characteristics
Crowds a medium-firm feel, leaning slightly firm due to the Surlyn cover and compression around ~80, akin to range balls like Titleist Velocity.
Engineered for 90–110 mph swing speeds, but generally well-suited for a wide range of players seeking affordability and consistency.
Distance & Accuracy
Offers strong carry and distance off the tee, with a stable trajectory and tight dispersion.
Holds its line well even in windy conditions thanks to its aerodynamic profile.
Short Game & Spin
Low driver spin, which aids length and straighter ball flight.
Mid-level wedge spin, delivering usable greenside control, though not as sharp as urethane offerings.
Robot testing data showed surprisingly competitive short-game performance—even outspinning some premium urethane balls on wedge shots.
Durability & Longevity
The Surlyn cover is highly cut-resistant, offering outstanding durability—excellent for those who lose/ding balls often or play multiple rounds per ball. Reviewers noted minimal scuffs after aggressive use.
