What I've learnt from this channel - Me and Ian have very different definitions of a "Toe Strike"

I am endlessly entertained by the idea of “trying” to hit it out of the toe or heel. Lol

This is pretty exciting. Many of us love the vice golf ball. I’m honestly not sure I expected this good of a review from their first ever set of irons.

@justinstephenson9360 2 ай бұрын

I agree. Love the Vice balls and I really like the look of the irons. The VGI01 has the simple look that I adore although I would want more shaft options

Very nice performing set of irons. I love my Vice Pro Plus, thus I'm glad to see Vice bring additional golf equipment to consideration. Well done everyone!

@InwonKim1982 2 ай бұрын

As a big fan of their balls, the pricing of these irons is too high. There are so many 'proven' DTC irons to beat. Thanks for the review!

@patrickromero1223 20 күн бұрын

I just went and got fitted and with someone with a super high handicap of 34 these clubs are amazing! I was maxing out my Calloway’s at 144 and after hitting and getting fitted these clubs are amazing. My miss hits are between 156-164 and max hit at 178 and that’s with a smash factor of 1.24 which still has a lot of room for improvement if you are ever looking for an iron set that can perform forgive and increase distance this iron is for sure for you !!!

@user-rw9rs6di9n 2 ай бұрын

When I saw the weight distro and back designs, thought the 01 looked similar to one of the Bettinardi model irons. I know the construction and materials are different. Would maybe be interesting to see a comparison of the two. Cheers, lads.

With the Srixon Z-Star Half-price deals every 6 months or so and Maxfli Tours, I find it interesting that these DTC golf ball companies are able to survive. Speaks to the importance of marketing and branding.

@J_B72 2 ай бұрын

The Z-Star “Buy X dozen and get 1 dozen free” deal is the single best value in golf.

Agreed, I just picked up another 2 dozen Z-Star XV's. Love em. If they are good enough for Brooks Koepka they are good enough for me!

@LegacyAirTech 2 ай бұрын

I think Vice stands out among the other DTC golf ball companies though. They were not only the first real DTC golf ball that got a seat at the table (partly due to marketing to be fair) but they have tested AMAZING year after year. Maxfli only became “good” this past year and Vice balls are still cheaper than those. Srixon balls are amazing, but even with their deal Vice are still cheaper. For someone looking for a budget Pro V1 or Pro V1x, Vice golf balls are still the best bang for the buck option that consistently stacks up performance wise. As long as the prices dont creep up I only see them getting more popular.

Absolutely LOVE this review lads. They’re sending me the putters to test soon which I’m looking forward too, but hear your opinion on these irons and to see the data is really good. I can’t wait to try these. They really do look fantastic

@MrDrappel 23 күн бұрын

Hey guys, what would be really useful is a table of how far you hit various clubs. After 30 years of golf I only learned that lofts are different from set to set, not just maker to maker. I played Titleist AP2s for years then switched to their T200s and couldn't work out how some clubs played different, then compared the lofts and now I know! If you had a table showing how far you hit these clubs and we could see how you hit all the other clubs you've tested, it'll show us what distances we can expect from each of these new clubs. Is this actually done anywhere? Maybe that could be a new adventure!?!

@barracatcher6466 2 ай бұрын

What a gorgeous looking pair of irons. I have been a vice pro user for a few years and the quality this company upholds itself to, seems to have reflected well in their iron. The collaboration with HIO would seem to be a great success. Looking forward to testing soon.

@angrygardener2430 2 ай бұрын

I’m loving the whole DTC club movement and I play Haywood Golf irons and wedges (influenced by Club Champion videos). As a taller high-handicap golfer I value the benefits and satisfaction of ordering custom fit clubs without feeling guilty spending for way more than my game can justify. Despite my good nature, I’ve definitely rolled my eyes playing with guys hacking around with famously expensive clubs. Don’t want to be that guy.

Great video y'all! I've been excited at the prospect of Vice releasing their own line, but was saddened when I saw the price. Was hoping it would be in the same DTC competitive pricing like Takomo, Caley, etc.

@DavidSwanson6576 2 ай бұрын

Totally agree, they look awesome but the price is a bit of a let down as an original ‘direct to consumer’ company!

It's strange to see that Vice uses a lower price point on their balls as a selling point but their irons aren't really much cheaper than the big brands.

@andybarger8486 2 ай бұрын

I hit the 101's at Club Champion. The 101's are the exact lofts of my ZX5 irons. I was able to compare side by side with the exact shafts. On average they were 5 yards shorter in carry. They felt good and I felt they were a bit less forgiving than my Srixons. They look awesome. That being said, I also hit the PXG Gen 6 0311/XP and the Taylormade P790. For me, the ZX5's work but it could be familiarity. The biggest problem is the price for a direct to consumer. They are only $2.00 cheaper per club than my Srixons. That for me is a deal breaker because there are quite a few good direct to consumer clubs (Takomo, Calley). I didn't hit the 102's.

As a 67 year old who still plays single figures, i wish someone would produce a distance iron that isn’t draw biased, all the hybrids and distance irons ive tested have this draw bias and I don’t need nor want it, so I struggle on with blades.

@dnpregitzer 2 ай бұрын

All of us who have left misses are stuck with terrible offsets and draw bias everything. 3D printing may be the way out.

@kourt2469 2 ай бұрын

How are they draw bias? If anything some of these players distance irons with tungsten in the toe would make them slightly fade bias by pushing it away from the shaft

@TheOtherDave148 2 ай бұрын

Agree. Need a fade biased iron. Closest I’ve found are the Edel SMS irons where I placed the heavy weight in the toe

@LegacyAirTech 2 ай бұрын

Not a single players distance iron is draw bias. Game improvement irons do tend to be “draw bias” but not directly. The face doesnt set up closed, it just has more offset to allow more time for the user to close the face. Pulling weight away from the toe and toward the heal also makes it easier to close the face. If you need forgiveness and distance but dont like the chunky soles or offsets of most game improvement irons, then you need to look at players distance clubs not game improvement ones. There are 3 or 4 entire categories of golf irons between blades and “game improvement” I would recommend looking at the Taylormade P790, Ping i530, Srixon ZX5 Mkii, Mizuno Pro 245, Cobra Forged Tech, Titleist T200, Wilson Dynapower Forged, Takomo 101T, etc

@kyleleskiw5644 2 ай бұрын

Wilson CBs are pretty minimal offset. The staff Blades are forgiving as well 🙃

@RogueSquidward 2 ай бұрын

I’m happy companies are finally going away from iron heads with crazy designs and shapes on them and just keeping it clean and simple. 620 MBs and MP-20s are the best looking of all time but more and more are coming around.

I'm a fan of the Vice balls, and I love what I'm hearing and seeing about both of these irons, but for the $$ I feel most people like me will want a fitting or at least to try them in-store prior to spending $1000+ for 7-8 irons.

So, choice is great as a consumer. But at what point is the golf club iron market just flat out saturated? Like, these are fine irons, but the numbers and the looks and everything about them are just noise. Golf clubs have limitations, you can't just make anything you want. At some point, what is left to really differentiate on? The marketing??....and we all know that leads to all kinds of bad products and expectations. I think we are reaching that saturation point. I'm not sure the market really needed these.

What term would you prefer that wouldn’t offend you? It’s kinda refreshing that golf equipment calls it like it is in this regard and isn’t catering to everyone’s delicate sensibilities. Get better if it bothers you so much. You’re gonna have to earn it but it’s only a few lessons away.
