WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT

It’s simple: Vice Golf makes premium golf balls, sells them over the internet, and ships them directly to the consumer. The balls are as good as anything out there, but a lot less expensive.

You can stop reading now. But if you’re curious—and we hope you are—here’s the background.

Vice Golf was founded in Germany in 2012 by Ingo Duellmann and Rainer Stoeckl. The company started selling the highest-quality golf balls first in Germany, expanded into other parts of Europe, and entered the U.S. market in 2015.

Orders are taken over the internet and the balls are shipped, directly from the manufacturer, to the consumer’s front door.

The prices are cheap, the golf balls aren’t. Vice Golf balls cost less than half as much as of comparable products from other manufacturers of premium balls. In fact, one new, top-quality Vice Golf ball costs about the same as a used ball purchased through normal channels in America.

You might ask: Why do other balls cost so much? When bought the “other” way, golf balls go through at least three middlemen and receive a four- or five-time markup in price before getting into the golfer’s hands. Vice Golf avoids those middlemen (who, as far as we can tell, don't do anything helpful except add to the price!) by selling directly through its own website. The balls get even less expensive when bought in large quantities. 

We produce five different golf balls (designed and engineered in Germany), all of the highest quality, including good enough for Tour players. All types of balls were tested by independent, international testing institutes. The results were conclusive: Vice Golf balls are as good as any comparable ball available.

Besides making great products, Vice Golf wants to change the golf-ball market by combining selling its products in a new way and with a smart and sassy attitude: cool designs and a totally new concept for marketing. 

So, Vice Golf offers personalization options few other companies do, especially at such low prices.

Golf balls are Vice Golf’s main business, and we are very serious about them. So much so that Vice Golf is the official ball of the German Golf Association (DGL) and has begun growing a player portfolio that includes up-and-coming pros as well as top European amateurs. 

By the way, why Vice you ask? Because…being bad is so good.
