Pro Soft
A three-piece cast urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with 65 compression engineered for golfers with swing speeds under 95 mph who prioritize soft feel and short-game control at an accessible price point.
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 Pro Soft is built for slower swing speeds (under ~95 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize slow swing speed, seniors, soft feel, mid-to-high handicap. In the Vice lineup, the Pro Soft sits softer than the Vice Pro Air.
Feel
With a compression of 65 and a urethane cover, feel is noticeably soft off the face — marshmallow at impact, quiet off the putter.
Spin Profile
Expect balanced driver spin — neither squirrelly in the wind nor knuckling short. Around the green, the cover gives you tour-level greenside spin and one-hop-stop performance on full wedges.
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. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
At $39.99 per dozen (direct-to-consumer, no retail markup), the Pro Soft delivers premium materials at a meaningful discount to the big brands.
Buy it if
- Your swing speed is under ~95 mph and you want a ball that actually compresses.
- Greenside spin and stopping power matter more than durability.
- You play a lot of shoulder-season or cold-weather golf.
Skip it if
- You swing over 105 mph — you’ll overcompress the core and lose carry.
