Vice Golf VGP03 Putter

Blade Putter

Vice made its name selling golf balls straight to golfers online, skipping the pro shop markup, and the VGP03 brings that same idea to the putter. This is a 2024 blade with a traditional heel-toe shape, priced the way Vice prices everything, which is well under what a comparable putter from a legacy brand runs. It looks the part at address, and it costs a fraction of the marquee blades it resembles.

The spec that defines this putter is full toe hang. Balance the shaft across your finger and the toe swings hard toward the floor. That tells you everything about who it's for. The VGP03 wants a stroke that arcs, where the face opens going back and rotates closed through the ball. Take it straight back and straight through and the head will feel like it's working against you the whole way.

There's no alignment aid up top, and that's on purpose. A clean crown suits players who aim off the leading edge and the shape of the head rather than a painted line. If that's you, the VGP03 gives you an uncluttered look to settle over. If you lean on a sightline to square the face, you'll notice its absence on every putt.

Design

The VGP03 is a heel-toe weighted blade, the profile that's been holing putts since long before anyone talked about MOI. Weight sits out toward the heel and toe of a compact head, and the shaft connects in a way that produces full toe hang. That hang is the whole point. It ties the putter to an arcing stroke, letting the face rotate open and closed on its own instead of forcing you to hold it square through impact. Vice left the crown bare, no line, no dot, no topline sightline. You aim with the leading edge and the frame of the head, so how well you set up depends on your eye. The blade sits small behind the ball, which is honest about what it is. A compact head like this gives you sharp feedback, rewards a center strike, and lets you feel exactly where you caught the ones you missed.

Who It's For

• You have a moderate to strong arc in your stroke and want a putter that moves with the release instead of resisting it.
• A clean crown with no lines suits how you aim, and you trust the leading edge to square the face.
• You want a proper blade shape without paying legacy-brand money for the name stamped on it.
• You're a feel putter who values the honest feedback a compact head gives on off-center hits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Vice VGP03 good for a straight-back-straight-through putting stroke?

No. Full toe hang is built for an arc, where the face opens and closes through the stroke. If you putt straight back and straight through, this head will feel like it's fighting your motion. A face-balanced mallet or a blade with slight toe hang would fit you better.

What does full toe hang tell me about the VGP03?

Rest the shaft on your finger and the toe drops to point at the ground. That's full toe hang, and it means the head wants to rotate open on the backswing and closed through impact. The more toe hang a putter has, the more arc it's asking for, and the VGP03 sits at the far end of that scale.

Why doesn't the VGP03 have an alignment line?

Vice left the crown clean for players who aim better without one. Some golfers find a sightline creates tension or false confidence and square the face more reliably off the leading edge alone. If you depend on a line to point the head, this bare top will feel like it's missing something.

Is the VGP03 worth it compared to a big-brand blade?

That's the pitch. Vice sells direct and skips the retail markup, so you get a traditional full-toe-hang blade for a good bit less than a comparable putter from an established name. You're paying for the shape and the stroke fit, not for a logo.

Is a blade like the VGP03 harder to putt than a mallet?

A blade is less forgiving on off-center strikes because it has less perimeter weight to steady the head. That's the trade for a compact look and direct feedback. If you find the center of the face consistently and like feeling exactly where you struck it, that's a plus. If your contact drifts around the face, a mallet will hold more distance on your mishits.
