Vice Golf Irons Review: Are They Really Worth the Hype?
Vice Golf has built an outstanding reputation by challenging the biggest names in golf with premium products at more affordable prices. After shaking up the golf ball market, they've now turned their attention to golf clubs and their iron range is creating plenty of interest.
But are Vice Golf irons actually any good, and who should be playing them?
Let's take a closer look.
Why Are Golfers Talking About Vice Golf Irons?
Unlike many direct to consumer brands, Vice hasn't simply produced another copy of existing irons.
Their goal has been simple:
Premium materials
Modern technology
Clean, traditional looks
Competitive pricing
Extensive custom fitting options
The result is three very different iron models designed for different types of golfers.
Vice Golf VGI01 – The Players Iron
The VGI01 is aimed at golfers who want the look and feel of a traditional forged players iron but with more forgiveness than many classic blades.
Key features include:
Triple forged construction
Soft forged feel
Compact head shape
Surprisingly forgiving for its size
Premium finish
If you like irons such as:
TaylorMade P790
Titleist T150
Mizuno Pro Series
Ping i-Series
…the VGI01 deserves to be on your shortlist.
Vice Golf VGI02 – The Performance Iron
For the majority of golfers, the VGI02 is likely to be the standout option.
It offers:
More forgiveness
Higher launch
Greater stability on off centre strikes
Confidence inspiring shape
Strong distance without looking oversized
It's designed for golfers who want to improve consistency without sacrificing looks.
This makes it an excellent choice for mid handicap golfers wanting a premium iron that remains easy to hit.
Vice Golf VGI03 – The Blade
The VGI03 is Vice's true forged blade.
Designed for elite ball strikers, it offers:
One piece forged construction
Maximum workability
Incredible feedback
Traditional blade profile
Classic appearance at address
Independent reviews have praised the feel and value of the VGI03, while noting it's best suited to accomplished golfers looking for precision rather than forgiveness.
Can You Custom Fit Vice Golf Irons?
Absolutely.
One of the biggest strengths of the Vice range is the ability to customise:
Shaft options - we have a wide range of shafts to fit with them that can’t be matched elsewhere
Grip choices - a wide range of grips to suit
Loft
Lie angle
Length
Paint fill
Cosmetic finishes
This allows golfers to build a set tailored to their swing rather than settling for off the shelf specifications.
Are Vice Golf Irons Good Value?
In today's market, premium forged iron sets from the major manufacturers often cost well over £1,000.
Vice has positioned its irons significantly below many comparable models while still offering forged construction, premium materials and extensive customisation. Current UK pricing starts from around £479 for the VGI02 range, with the VGI01 and VGI03 sitting higher depending on specification.
That makes them one of the more interesting value propositions in the premium iron market.
Should You Buy Vice Golf Irons?
If you're considering a new set of irons, Vice Golf is certainly a brand worth looking at.
Whether you're:
wanting more forgiveness,
looking for a compact forged players iron,
or searching for a premium blade,
There's likely a model that fits your game.
The only way to know if they're right for you, however, is to compare them against other leading brands in a professional custom fitting. Matching the correct head with the right shaft and specifications can make a far bigger difference than the logo on the back of the club.
