Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Microplastic or particle shedding and Degradation of cover integrity and water ingress on the OnCore and not on the Vice Golf.
  • The OnCore is Urethane/synthetic rubber core and cover 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 →
