HOW WE TEST OUR BALLS

Why do we use a robot for testing?

UNBIASED EVALUATION

At Vice Golf, we utilize a mechanical golf robot for an unbiased evaluation of how the club interacts with the ball. This highly repeatable setup allows for precise duplication of launch conditions and simulates any golf swing, from tour players to beginners.

OPTIMAL CONTROL

Our robot precisely controls key parameters like clubhead speed, swing path, angle of attack, and face position. It also adjusts for environmental factors such as air temperature and humidity, achieving a level of accuracy beyond even the best players.

How do we collect data?

Data from launch monitors like Trackman and Foresight is collected to ensure accurate measurements of clubhead delivery, impact conditions, and ball flight.

Supplementary data

Supplementary data like attack angle, swing plane, and club-head speed offer valuable insights into testing conditions. This data is summarized in various comparisons and detailed reports for further analysis.

2024 Ball Test

Independent ball tests were conducted in early 2024 at San Diego Golf Laboratories, a recognized standard for testing golf equipment.

What are the findings?

The findings showed that Vice Golf balls perform on par with, and in some cases outperform, Titleist’s golf balls.
