A harder golf ball will travel further, under almost all conditions. The only time that changes, is when spin becomes an issue. (If a player cannot produce sufficient spin to get the ball in the air.)
If I'm not mistaken, you said you play Vice Pro Tour? That ball is recommended for higher swing speeds, but is longer for most swing speeds, than the Vice Pro Soft. Personally, I hit the Tour Pro about 4-5 yards longer than the Pro Soft and my swing speed rarely reaches 90.

I was merely stating that the average 15-30 handicapper that plays here in TV, which is the vast majority of us, should be using the softer ball for better overall results. In this group of golfers, they do not care about spin or another 4-5 yards. I still get a kick out of high handicap golfers that buy very expensive clubs and hit the ProV balls and get sucked in to thinking this is going to help their game.
