Vice Tour Performance Notes

Vice Tour took the crown as the Best Value Golf Ball of 2026 according to our testing. 

What exactly does that mean? It means that Vice Tour performed well from tee to green in our test with no weaknesses, and it comes in at a consumer-friendly price.

That price? Just $25 a dozen when you buy in bulk. What you get in exchange for that modest investment is distance that surpassed 93% of the balls in our 2026 test, one of the most accurate balls under $30 of 2026, and a ball that can more than hold its own in the approach game and short game.
