Vice Golf VGH01 Hybrid

Hybrid Options & Stock Shafts

Game Improvement Hybrid

Vice built its name selling golf balls straight to players and skipping the retail markup, and the VGH01 is that same idea pointed at an iron set. This is a game improvement iron for 2024, which tells you most of what you need before you ever hit one. Wide sole, cavity back, plenty of forgiveness built into the head. It's made for the golfer who wants the ball in the air and the miss punished less, not the shotmaker chasing workability.

What sets the VGH01 apart isn't the technology so much as how you buy it. Vice sells direct, so you get a game improvement set at a price that undercuts the big brands doing similar things. You give up the fitting bay and the wall of demos at a golf shop. In return you keep a couple hundred dollars in your pocket. For a mid-to-high handicapper who already knows they need forgiveness, that's a fair trade.

These are not adjustable, and they were never meant to be. Irons rarely are, and a game improvement set least of all. You pick your loft and lie at order, and the head does its job the same way every swing. Simple, and honestly that's the point.

• Mid-to-high handicappers who miss all over the face and need the head to cover for it.
• Anyone shopping value first, since buying direct from Vice cuts a real chunk off the price of a comparable name-brand set.
• Players who struggle to get long and mid irons airborne and want a set that launches high on its own.
• Golfers moving up from an older or beginner set who are ready for consistent, forgiving irons without paying flagship money.
• People who are fine ordering online and don't need a fitting bay to know they want forgiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Vice VGH01 irons any good for high handicappers?

Yes, this is exactly who they're built for. The wide sole, cavity back, and offset all work to make off-center hits fly straighter and higher, which is the main thing a high handicapper needs from an iron. If you're breaking 100 or working toward it, the VGH01 will hide more of your bad swings than a players iron ever would.

Why are Vice VGH01 irons cheaper than TaylorMade or Callaway?

Vice sells direct to you instead of through golf retailers, so there's no shop markup baked into the price. The head design and forgiveness are in the same game improvement family as the big brands, but you're not paying for the retail middle. The tradeoff is you can't demo them in a store before buying.

Are the VGH01 irons adjustable?

No. Like almost all irons, the VGH01 has a fixed head with no adjustable hosel or weights. You choose your specs such as loft, lie, and shaft when you order, and the set plays the same every swing. Adjustability lives in drivers and fairway woods, not in a game improvement iron like this.

Do the VGH01 irons launch the ball high enough?

High launch is one of the design goals here. The perimeter weighting sits low in the head, which helps get the long and mid irons up in the air even on a shot you catch a touch thin. If getting your 5 and 6 iron airborne has been a struggle, that's a problem this set is built to solve.

Who should skip the Vice VGH01 irons?

Low handicappers and better ball strikers who want to shape shots and control trajectory will find the VGH01 too forgiving and too high launching for their taste. The thicker topline and offset that help an average golfer will bother a player who wants a compact head and workability. If you're a single digit shooting for feel, look at a players or players-distance iron instead.
