Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in DWR coating on the Callaway and not on the Vice Golf.
- The Callaway is Leather palm, synthetic/textile back with DWR treatment where the Vice Golf is synthetic polymer core with urethane/elastomer cover, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Vice Golf is the one to buy.
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 →
