Vice made its name selling golf balls straight to your door for a fraction of what the big brands charge at retail. The VGW01 is that same idea pointed at the short game. It's a wedge sold direct, without the pro-shop markup, and it comes in six lofts from 50 to 60 degrees so you can build a matched set that covers full-swing gap shots all the way down to flop shots off a tight lie.
That loft range is the whole pitch. With 2-degree steps at 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60, you can dial in your yardage gaps without leaving a hole between your pitching wedge and your lowest lob. Most golfers carry two or three of these, not all six. The 50 and 54 pair well behind a modern strong-lofted pitching wedge, while a 56 and 60 combo is the classic sand-plus-lob setup that never really goes out of style.
What you're getting is a clean, straightforward wedge at a price that undercuts the name brands. It won't have the tour marketing budget behind it, and Vice keeps the grind and finish options simple rather than offering a dozen configurations. For a lot of golfers, that's exactly the point. You pay for the club, not the logo.

About the Vice Golf VGW01
The VGW01 sticks to a traditional teardrop shape that sits square behind the ball and gives you a familiar look at address. Nothing about the profile is trying to reinvent the category. The lofts step evenly in 2-degree increments across the six options, which keeps your distance gaps consistent as you move up and down the set. Vice sells the VGW01 in a single clean finish rather than splitting it into multiple grind and bounce packages, so the buying decision is really just about which lofts you need. That simplicity is deliberate. It keeps the price down and takes the guesswork out of ordering, though golfers who fit their wedges to very specific turf conditions may want to see the bounce numbers before committing to the higher lofts.
Who Should Play the Vice Golf VGW01?
- ✓Value-focused players who already buy their balls direct from Vice and want the short game to match the same logic.
- ✓Anyone building a gapped set who wants matched 2-degree steps without paying flagship prices for each head.
- ✓Mid-handicappers who need a reliable 56 and 60 for greenside work more than they need a shelf of grind options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which VGW01 lofts should I buy?
Start by checking your pitching wedge loft, then fill the gaps from there. A common two-wedge setup is a 54 and 58, or a 56 and 60 if you want a dedicated sand wedge and a true lob. If you carry a strong-lofted pitching wedge, add a 50 to bridge the jump. Three wedges at roughly 4-degree spacing, like 52, 56, and 60, covers most golfers without leaving distance holes.
Are Vice wedges actually any good?
Vice sells direct, so you're paying for the club instead of the retail and marketing markup. The VGW01 uses a conventional teardrop head and even loft steps, which is what most players actually need from a wedge. You give up the wide range of grind and bounce packages the big brands offer, but for the price the performance around the green holds up for the average golfer.
What's the difference between the 56 and 60 degree?
The 56 is your sand wedge. It's the club for greenside bunkers, standard chips, and full pitch shots inside 100 yards. The 60 is a lob wedge built for higher, softer shots that stop fast, plus flop shots when you have to carry something and land it steep. The 60 is harder to hit clean off tight, firm lies, so if you play hardpan a lot, lean on the 56 more.
Why is the VGW01 cheaper than name-brand wedges?
Vice runs a direct-to-consumer model, the same one that built its golf ball business. There's no pro shop, no distributor, and no retail shelf taking a cut, so the savings go to you instead of the middle of the supply chain. It's the same reason Vice balls cost less than the equivalent premium tour ball.
Do I need all six lofts?
No. The six options exist so you can pick the exact lofts that fit your set, not so you carry every one. Most players use two or three wedges beyond their pitching wedge. Buy the lofts that close your distance gaps and match the turf you usually play, and skip the rest.
