Where these two actually differ
- We flag Microplastic shedding and Water contamination from lost balls on the Dunlop and not on the Vice Golf.
- The Dunlop is Urethane cover, synthetic polymer core where the Vice Golf is synthetic polymer core with urethane/elastomer cover, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
