Tour Driver

Vice Golf built its reputation selling premium balls direct, cutting out the retail markup that made golf feel like a luxury tax. The VGD01+ is their 2024 driver, and it carries the same logic forward: Tour-spec performance at a price that doesn't need justification.

A 460cc head in a Tour category might look like a contradiction, but it's intentional. You get the maximum moment of inertia the rules allow, paired with low-spin tuning that keeps the trajectory flat and controllable. For players who produce too much spin, especially at higher swing speeds, that combination is exactly what they need.

The adjustable hosel adds another layer of control, letting you move loft up or down to match your attack angle and optimize launch. It's not a checkbox feature here. Dialing in the right loft can mean the difference between a ballooning drive and one that holds its line in a crosswind.

• Players with faster swing speeds who tend to spin the ball too high and lose distance as a result will get immediate benefit from the low-spin head design.
• Shotmakers who want to work the ball off the tee, either shaping draws and fades or controlling trajectory in wind, rather than relying on draw-bias forgiveness to keep shots in play.
• Value-conscious golfers who want specs comparable to Tour drivers from the major OEMs without paying the brand premium attached to those names.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Vice Golf VGD01+ best suited for?

It targets better players and mid-to-high swing speed golfers who produce excess spin. The low-spin design and adjustable hosel are most useful for someone who already strikes the ball reasonably well and wants to optimize launch conditions rather than add forgiveness.

Does the low-spin design hurt distance for slower swing speeds?

Yes, potentially. Low-spin drivers work best when swing speed is high enough to generate adequate lift without relying on spin to keep the ball airborne. Golfers below around 95 mph will likely find a higher-spin, higher-launch option produces more carry and total distance.

What adjustments does the VGD01+ hosel allow?

The adjustable hosel lets you change loft, typically in half-degree or one-degree increments, and can influence face angle depending on the position. That range lets you fine-tune launch angle and spin rate without switching shafts or buying a different head.

Is the VGD01+ forgiving enough for a mid-handicapper?

It depends on the player. If your misses are consistently off-center and you need draw bias or high-MOI forgiveness to stay in play, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're a 10 to 15 handicap with a decent swing who just produces too much spin, the low-spin profile could genuinely help.

How does the Vice Golf VGD01+ compare to Tour drivers from Titleist or TaylorMade?

Vice competes on specs and price, not on tour validation or retail presence. The VGD01+ is positioned as a Tour-spec club at a lower cost. Whether it performs identically to a Titleist TSR3 or TaylorMade Qi10 LS is something a fitting session would confirm, but the specs on paper put it in the same neighborhood.
