I like Vice balls - but have found Cut balls even better (cutgolfco.com).
I bought 7 dozen Cut Blue (a four piece urethane ball) for roughly $28cdn per dozen, shipping in. I did contact them directly to do it, but they were very helpful as they don’t show Cdn shipping on their site.
The balls themselves: they play almost exactly like Prov1x but are more durable. Very, very good spin on irons and chips, but solid off the driver. In terms of bite on the greens, I think the Cut Blues may be the best I’ve ever tried.
There are also some other versions - grey, white, etc. The grey is the other urethane - it’s a three piece ball, a lot less spin than the blue but feels softer like a chrome soft.
I most recently played Srixon ZXVs, and before that I played chrome softs - the Cut Blue is easily as good as both, and is more durable. I do like the XVs off the driver the best, but not so much that the price difference would ever make me go back.
I also have tried the Kirklands - both 3 and 4 piece. Both are great balls, but I’d take the Cut Blue over them too. There’s my sales pitch! Anyway, you absolutely will not be disappointed if you give them a try - they are nearly identical to the Prov1x in performance.
What sucks about Vice 5 dozen deal is that they will not let you mix and match anymore, it has to be 5 dozen of the same model and colour.
I was part of 2 group buys for Vice golf balls. Ended up to be about $70 for 2 dozen after exchange rate and shipping. With the current exchange rate, I'm guessing it will be under $75 for 2 dozen.
I'd be interested in a dozen of the Vice Pro Soft...but in the neon lime colour. I might be interested in an umbrella as well.

I’ve had a similar season:
Handicap at the end of last season was 7.6
Currently at a 10.4
Most of my rounds have been around 90 lately. My new bag does not seem to have paid off.
I played 22 rounds in 2015 but only 12 in 2016 and 10 in 2017. I've worked a lot on my drive and it seems to show in consistency. I'm trying to play more this year to get more consistently low to mid 90s, but the 99/100 scores definitely push the average. But 100 is the worst score I've posted.

Had a chat with a member of my golf course this morning. He told me his son played in the Mens 2 day Scramble on the weekend and won $10'000 for getting a hole in one on hole #8. Turns out the young man is also getting married this weekend and the money will come in quite handy.
