Vice Golf VGD01 Driver

Loft Options & Stock Shafts

Game Improvement Driver

Vice Golf built its reputation selling premium golf balls direct to consumers, cutting out the retail markup and passing the savings along. The VGD01 is their move into hardware, and it follows the same logic: a full-featured 460cc game improvement driver at a price that undercuts the major OEMs without asking you to give up much. For 2024, they've shipped a proper adjustable driver that doesn't look or feel like a budget option.

At 460cc, this is the maximum legal head size, which means maximum forgiveness on off-center strikes. The adjustable hosel lets you dial in loft to match your swing speed and launch conditions, something that used to cost $500 or more to get into. Whether Vice can translate their ball business success into the club market is the real test here, and the VGD01 is a credible first answer.

• Mid-to-high handicappers who want a full-sized forgiving head without paying tour-level prices.
• Golfers upgrading from an older fixed-loft driver who want the ability to tune loft without buying a new head every time conditions change.
• Vice Golf ball loyalists who want to keep their brand consistent from tee to green and aren't looking to spend Callaway money on a driver.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Vice Golf VGD01 compare to drivers from Callaway or TaylorMade?

The VGD01 matches the 460cc head and adjustable hosel you'd find on flagship drivers from the big names, but typically sells for significantly less. Where it gives ground is in R&D depth and stock shaft quality. The major OEMs run thousands of iterations on face geometry and internal weighting. Vice is newer to this side of the business, so the gap shows up in finer performance nuances rather than outright playability for the average golfer.

What loft settings does the VGD01 adjustable hosel support?

The VGD01 hosel lets you adjust loft across a range above and below the stated head loft. The exact degree spread is confirmed in the spec sheet included with the club. For most recreational golfers, the ability to add a degree or two of loft is more practically useful than the ability to lower it, since higher launch tends to help the average swing speed more than lower spin.

Is the VGD01 a good driver for slow swing speeds?

The 460cc head and game improvement profile make it a reasonable option for players with moderate swing speeds who need help getting the ball airborne and finding the fairway. If your swing speed is under 80 mph, pay close attention to shaft flex when ordering. The stock shaft may not be the right fit, and a proper fitting would help you get the most from this head.

What shaft comes stock on the Vice Golf VGD01?

Vice ships the VGD01 with a stock graphite shaft in a few flex options. It's playable for most recreational golfers, but it isn't a premium aftermarket option. Players who are serious about driver performance may want to consider reshafting with something matched specifically to their tempo and swing speed, since the head itself is the stronger part of the package.

Can I get the VGD01 custom fit?

Vice primarily sells direct online, which limits in-person fitting access compared to brands with retail fitting networks. You can order in different loft and flex options at purchase, and the adjustable hosel gives you room to fine-tune after delivery. For a full fitting, you'd need a local fitter who can test the head independently, which is worth doing if you're serious about optimizing your driver numbers.
