What testers said: Spin
Vice Pro Plus
The Pro Plus model exhibited high spin rates, especially with short irons and wedges. This increased spin translated to better control and stopping power on the greens, making it an excellent choice for approach shots. Our high swing speed tester storm319 found the Pro Plus allowed him to impart significant backspin, enhancing his ability to hold the ball on the green. Tester hands39 noted, “The higher apex and spin were noticeable with my longer irons.”
Vice Pro
The Pro model offered even higher spin rates than the Pro Plus which was evident in approach shots and around the greens. This model provided excellent control, allowing players to execute precise shots with confidence. The high spin rates made the Pro ideal for players who prioritize accuracy and control over sheer distance. Tester 3putt4double said, “The spin rates with wedges were excellent, providing great stopping power.”
