Vice Pro Air Golf Balls (2025), Drip Red/Black
A soft, fairly priced urethane ball for slower swings; faster swingers should look elsewhere.
The short version
- Golfers with slower to moderate swing speeds
- Players who want a soft feel and a urethane cover without tour ball pricing
- Anyone who likes a bold ball pattern
- You swing around 100 mph or faster
- You need maximum wedge spin to stop the ball
- Cover durability matters more to you than cost
What owners like
- Soft, muted feel off the face and putter
- Very low driver spin and a high flight that help slower swingers carry the ball
- Urethane cover at a lower cost than big brand tour balls
- High approach flight helps shots land softly on the green
Common complaints
- Wedge spin is decent but lower than premium tour balls
- Cover scuffs after cart path hits faster than major brands
- Faster swingers around 100 mph may lose about a club of distance
- Short chips can roll out more than expected

What it does
Vice's softest, lowest compression urethane golf ball, a three layer ball for slower and mid swing speeds, here in the red and black Drip finish.
- Lower compression core aimed at a softer feel and more speed for slower swings, per Vice
- Thinnest cast urethane cover in the Vice lineup, for short game spin
- Higher launch with mid and short irons to raise landing angles, per Vice
- Replaces the Vice Pro Soft as the softest ball in the Pro series
- Also sold in white, neon colors and other Drip patterns
A good fit for golfers with slower or moderate swing speeds who want a soft feel, a high flight and a urethane cover for less than the big brand tour balls cost. The trade-offs are greenside spin that trails premium tour balls, a cover that reviewers say scuffs faster than major brands, and lost distance for faster swingers.
