“A properly fitting golf glove (for those that wear them) is nearly as important as properly fitted clubs. Our hands are different. Some of us have wider palms or shorter fingers. Those details matter when choosing not only the right glove, but a properly sized glove as well.”
MYGOLFSPY wants to make the decision-making process when buying a premium golf glove very easy. That’s why each year they put the best brands to the test to see, which one of them deserves a medal. Last year our Vice PURE was awarded with the Editor’s Choice Award, however this year we ranked up to receive a medal for the third place.
Thank you MYGOLFSPY for the brilliant test results, which aligns with our belief in our products.

“What a revelation! We had no idea it was possible to create a ball for £29.98 a dozen that for many golfers would be indistinguishable from a leading tour ball.”
What a fantastic conclusion! The UK-based magazine “Today’s Golfer” rated our Vice PRO and Vice PRO PLUS among the best golf balls for under £30. Both ball models are absolutely comparable to any other tour-grade golf ball but come with a much smaller price tag.

The people over at MYGOLFSPY must be working day and night on their mission to test every single piece of golf equipment and it is working. Their latest investigation was to determine the best golf umbrellas of 2017 and our Vice GUARD was among them. 12 hours and 23 products were invested in this examination; 23 of which only 14 umbrellas went into the final test phase.
MYGOLFSPY put special attention to factors like wind resistance, coverage, opening speed, handle and durability to determine which golf umbrella is the best.
After seeing the results we are happy to see that even though this is our debut in making umbrellas, we are among the most renowned brands and can definitely compete with them. If style would have taken into account, we sure would have scored even better.
Speaking of style: Did you know that you can have the Vice GUARD not only in BLACK but also in NEON LIME?

Gold for Team Vice Golf
Do you remember what we said after last year’s Golf Digest Hot List? We have a mission for our golf balls and this mission is golden.
Now, all the sweat and hard work finally gets the full recognition. We’re very excited to announce that we are on the golden road with our Vice PRO SOFT. The Golf Digest’s annual Hot List is the Roman arena of golf ball testing and this year we were victorious. Booya!
It actually feels pretty good to get this kind of feedback from our friends at Golf Digest. For the third year in succession we were awarded with medals, two of which were gold medals.
So what remains is my appeal to you to go out, play golf and have fun! What a great chance to try out our Vice PRO SOFT.
It’s David vs. Goliath time: MYGOLFSPY wanted an answer to this big question. Can the Vice PRO PLUS compete against the Titleist PRO V1x on one level? As we know from their previous tests and reviews, MYGOLFSPY always puts a lot of effort into research. This time, they were investing 10 hours of research and hitting 400 shots, you could say that MYGOLFSPY did their homework.
The test events included playing the driver, a 6-iron, a sand wedge and the factors included measurements of distance, accuracy, spin, launch angle and the ball speed.
We are very proud to get the confirmation of our hard work: The Vice PRO PLUS plays on the same league as its competitor. In most disciplines, our 4-piece cast urethane ball either has marginally small better or worse values than the PRO V1x, but you guessed it: the Vice PRO PLUS is not playing on the same league when it comes to the price. Even at our smallest discount level (when buying only 1 dozen) the Vice PRO PLUS is still significantly cheaper than the Titleist.
Did you know that you get the biggest savings when buying 5 dozen or more? Yes. You. Can.

When someone writes about you who is per se not golf-related, you know that you did something right.
In this case, we were especially excited to find our Vice DRIVE in this article, that as the headline says is about being most stylish on the golf course. Without doubt, Vice Golf must not be missed, when it comes to style. Apart from that, the Men’s Health also points out the vice within the vice (Viceception): Gambling on the golf course. Yes, we hear you, it can be very expensive. That is why you should actively save money by buying Vice DRIVE balls.Question now is: Will you even lose that match when you play Vice Golf? We think not.

The 100% waterproof design in combination with the extremely attractive price tag continues to impress our customers and the media alike. That is, when our friends from the Golf Digest interviewed Vice Golf’s founders Ingo Düllmann and Rainer Stöckl about the Vice FORCE bag.
“The Vice Golf Force features a carbonfiber frame and a six-way top with full length dividers. It is designed with a nylon material resistant to water and UV light, and it uses YKK Aquaseal zippers on its five pockets. It weighs approximately five pounds.”
Co-Founder Ingo Duellmann about the mix of function, quality and price: "Our bag is 100 percent waterproof—not only one little part of the bag, but the whole bag," he said. "At the end, the same bag sold in retail would cost around 0-460 so I guess that our price of 0 is still a great one."
Check out the product page for our Vice FORCE bag and while you’re at it, why not get some matching CACHE BACKPACK as well?

MYGOLFSPY once again put us and our products to the test; this time, our highly popular Vice PURE glove. The gloves had to have “100% Tour grade leather, tailored type fit and top-shelf comfort. The premium golf gloves generally is what you would expect to see the pros playing on Sunday's.”
Indeed, the Vice PURE fulfills all the requirements. It feels great, looks awesome and enables the best performance in grip and stability.
The test criteria measured the attributes fit, comfort, feel and grip. We are happy and proud to see that our Vice PURE is among the best premium gloves and even won the editor’s choice award. Some of the points the team of MYGOLFSPY liked were that the Vice PURE is “fashionable without being overly flashy”, it is a “well-designed and great fitting glove”.
Try the Vice PURE on now to make your own impression of how great it feels.

This one is pretty elaborate. The American MYGOLFSPY put us to the test and in competition against some of the biggest names in the golf bags market. 32 working hours of research were necessary to test all competing stand bags in disciplines like storage capacity, style, weight, walkability, amount of dividers used and more. The good news is: we made a pretty good impression, considering that it is our debut on the golf bags market. MYGOLFSPY awarded the Vice FORCE bag with the second place. They especially liked our design and the “Best in Class” dividers.
Check out the product page for our Vice FORCE bag and while you’re at it, why not get some matching CACHE backpack as well?

Golfshake.com honored us with their review of our brand-new FORCE golf bag. Not only do we go hand in hand with the impression of the Vice FORCE being the perfect mix of style and functionality, the price tag is also incredibly reasonable, while still comparing it to the best-in-class models.
Golfshake.com points out the Vice FORCE bags intrinsic features, which are: 100% waterproof design with YKK™ AQUASEAL® zips, while still being ultra-light (5lbs). However, the magazine also recognizes the extrinsic features. The bag is available in two different models, FORCE BLACK and FORCE NEONGREY to serve “both funky and classic tastes”.
Nonetheless, “matching styles” is the buzzword here: Golfshake.com emphasizes – and we could not agree more – that with the matching CACHE BLACK and CACHE NEONGREY you are able to “change your clothes after a round of Golf in a stylish manner”… you can also wear it on other occasions than golf, though.

The National Club Golfer reviews our series of golf balls, including the Vice DRIVE, Vice TOUR, Vice PRO and Vice PRO PLUS. Thanks from the Vice team for sharing the same conclusion as we do.
With Vice Golf, everything is premium but the price.
The article also reflects on the tough market barriers, associated with the golf industry: “There aren’t many ball manufacturers out there who aren’t part of bigger hardware companies so it’s a difficult nut to crack for people entering the market.” … or as we would put it: “you gotta have balls to enter this market.”
Big shout-out to our friends in the UK at NGC.
But now it’s time for you out there to get your hands on our balls*

Vice Golfs' expectations towards their products is clear: Offering highest quality at the fraction of the price of established brands. Golf Hacker has reviewed the Vice PURE glove and not only fancies the novel idea of a zip bag packaging to keep the glove dry and secure but also highlights its lamb leather which offers a softness that "made me feel as if I could easily forget I was wearing a glove at all." Furthermore, Golf Hacker stresses on the exceptional good grip, allowing more accurate shots without the club twisting on the downswing.
We're sure that you agree once you've tried them – the Vice PURE is your new Go-To glove!

For the past few months, since VICE Golf started selling balls in the U.S., we’ve been bragging about the quality of our products and the low prices consumers pay by buying them exclusively on the Internet.
Now we’re happy to report that Golf Digest agrees. Our Pro and Pro Plus balls were just awarded a Gold Medal on Golf Digest’s annual Hot List, making VICE the only small company to win the magazine’s highest award.
You can’t imagine how this makes us feel. Like we want to run out to the beer garden and get plastered. (Wait, we did that last week when we found out we’d won!) Anyhow, we are thrilled and humbled, and want to brag about our big win to anyone who will listen. Maybe we’ll just let Golf Digest do the bragging for us!

Golfers have long sought after a ball that plays like the best of them but doesn’t hurt their wallets – VICE have answered their calls.
