Most golfers treat shoes as the last equipment decision. They are actually one of the first. The shoes you wear are the only point of contact between your body and the ground. Every shot you hit involves this single interface. Lateral slide at impact, heel rise in the backswing, and loss of balance in the follow-through are all directly affected by your footwear.

The current Performance+ is a different product. It deserves fresh evaluation on its own merits.…

In fact, Vice Golf is the fastest-rising golf ball brand in the world right now. Founded in Munich in 2012, the company now ranks ninth globally across all golf brands and posted approximately $79.7 million in revenue in 2026. That is not the story of a budget gimmick. It is the story of a DTC brand that cut the pro-shop markup, merged with Europe’s largest golf fitter, and built premium balls at roughly half the price of Titleist. The Vice Pro is the centrepiece of that story. However, the Vice Golf lineup causes genuine confusion. The name “Vice Pro Plus”…
