![]() ![]() You can expect to pay about $34.99 for a dozen of both these balls. Both the Vice Pro Plus balls and the Snell MTB Black are the same price virtually anywhere you can get them. The Vice balls again did not provide enough spin on the green but their alignment markers made a wide variety of putts easier to line up. They held really well and provided optimal control. The Snell MTB Black balls were better for soft greens. But on fairway drives, we got all the distance and workability we needed to get in good position. The Vice balls leave a little to be desired in terms of roll on approach shots. They sounded great with our irons on the fairway and spun great too. They gave an adequate amount of roll while still being easy to control. The Snell MTB Black balls performed better on approach shots than the Vice balls. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but they may not be the right balls if you are an intermediate player. The Snell MTB Black balls also gave good distance but were certainly less forgiving. They give great flight time and distance. And once you get a good swing off these balls, they carry a long way. The finish, which again is infused with silicate particles, seems to grip the face of the club more which corrects some errant swinging. And the reason has to be the matte finish on these balls. Balls that we hit too thin or too thick were flying straighter than they normally would with other balls. Something that we all noticed about the Vice Pro balls was that they were very forgiving off the tee. Great for players with lower swing speeds.Good distance for a compression 100 ball.The softer cover gives more bite and we saw a noticeable improvement on spin. If you are looking to get more backspin from your ball due to a slower swing speed, these balls may actually help. You can actually feel the relatively high compression core off drives.Īt any rate, the cast urethane cover is supposed to provide more control and greenside spin. The compression rating on these balls is 100 which is surprisingly high for a ball they advertise as soft. Like the Vice Pros, the Snell MTB Black balls have a cast urethane outer layer and a 3-piece design. As opposed to the original Snell MTB balls, the MTB Black golf balls have a softer feel so they are friendlier to golfers with slower swing speeds. ![]() The MTB Black premium tour caliber golf balls from Snell are another set of balls that offer high-end features in a relatively soft golf ball. Not the most ideal ball if you have a fast swing speed.They don’t sound like a premium ball off the tee.The durability of these balls is questionable.Feature a “keep in line” alignment marker for putts.You can get good distance with these balls even if you have a slow swing speed.Come in your choice of white, neon green and red.The cover is made of cast urethane which is apparently supposed to deliver both superior feel and ball durability. There are 336 dimples adorning these balls which helps keep trajectory pretty true. The low compression core is what gives it its soft feel. The outer coating feels very thin and has silicate particles interspersed on it. So right off the bat, they were a little different.Īs you would expect from a tour caliber golf ball, the Vice Pro balls feature a 3-piece construction. We thought the matte finish was relegated to the neon green and red balls but even the white balls have a matte finish. Whereas most balls have a glossy slick finish, the Vice Pro balls have a flat matte finish. The thing that you will notice right away about these balls (at least, it was the first thing that we noticed) is the matte finish. With that caveat noted, the two balls we will be reviewing today are said to be suitable for a wide range of swing speeds. Of course, it should be noted that your own swing speed will be a huge factor in the kind of golf balls you prefer. We played two full rounds with each of these balls to find out if they are really worth the price and if so, which one is the better buy. So as you might’ve expected, we hit the links with both of these balls to see if they lived up to the hype – and they did. ![]() We have been hearing a lot about these two tour grade balls but we never take anything for granted – especially when it comes to golf gear. After all, you are paying a premium for these kinds of balls, right? You should be getting your money’s worth. Premium tour grade balls should be a number of things – namely long, feel-y and controllable. Vice Pro Plus – What’s the Better Golf Ball ![]()
