re: Vice golf balls question

awesome glad they're back. they were gone a good 3 months for me. my store had them for a bit but never at the sub $30. i've played a variety of budget urethane balls this is my favorite for sure.

Those new Cally Chrome Tour balls are legit. I’m a Pro V1x guy almost exclusively but I’ve played several rounds this year with the Chrome Tour X. I feel (maybe it’s just because I know I’m using a different ball) that the Cally spins more around the greens than the Pro V1x. Just as long off the tee and just as durable. Iron game spin seems similar to V1x too which is why I switched to the V1x over the V.

I play this ball.

The only negative is the striped ones lack the visibility of the yellow ones.

I love the stripe for alignment putting, but I can hardly see them on the ground. Probably my vision, but many friends make the same statement.

Also the paint gets worn quicker than a ProV.

However, I love the alignment aid.

I believe the best putters do this, but I struggle with an extremely dominant right eye which makes me have a left bias. I need all the help I can get.

Combining the SeeMore FGP with the Tour Response stripe has been good for me.

Of course I’m only 2 rounds into the new setup so we will see if it lasts.

I kept the other putter along with several other putters as backups.

Just a thought,

If we could get a ball test thread sticked, it might be of beneficial to everyone.

A tester could state his hcp, clubhead speed, age, etc... anything that might be helpful as he reviewed a certain ball and it characteristics.

One thing that I have learned, what's stated about the ball on the box doesn't always measure up.

hcp 11
speed maybe 75-85mph
age 60(but high mileage)

The only time my ball speed is elite is IF it is headed for a hazard or a boundary stake. Yesterday I had 157 to a front pin at a par 3. Chose my 6 hybrid. Took a great swing, thought “that’s on” then watched it carry the entire green (back edge was 179) into a creek behind everything. In retrospect, it played slightly downhill and next to the lake I may have caught a wind I could not feel at the tee. Just as a check I hit a 7 iron(normally 135-140) onto the back have of the green so there must have been some real wind up there.

Played Tour Response by TM.
Urethane cover so it spin good.
It’s soft.
I like it.

I get more spin with it.

The regular q-star is pretty much land and end up inside of a foot from where it landed from 7 on down for a standard strike.

Q-Star tour gets a little zip on it especially from gap wedge down. That can be handy from 7 on up. I’ve got a couple sleeves of those I keep for courses that have really fast greens. A little spin on them can be handy.

Get the PRO or Pro Plus. I like them. They hold up and feel good. I always tend to play well with them
