Vice Golf made its name selling golf balls straight to your door and cutting out the pro shop markup. The VGW02 takes that same direct-to-consumer playbook into the short game. It's a 2024 wedge with a tour grind sole, offered in six lofts from 50 to 60 degrees, and it lands at a price that undercuts most of the big-brand wedges sitting next to it in a fitting bay.
The spread of lofts is the first thing worth noting. Two-degree gaps from 50 through 60 mean you can build a full wedge set off one model, whether that's a simple 50/54/58 or a tighter four-wedge setup. That matters more than it sounds, because mixing grinds and shapes across brands is how people end up with yardage gaps they never quite trust.
What you're buying here is a versatile wedge at a fair price, not a boutique grind-shop project. If you already know your exact bounce and grind preferences down to the degree, you'll want to look at what Vice publishes for each loft before ordering. For most golfers picking a wedge online without a launch monitor, the tour grind is the safe, do-everything choice.

About the Vice Golf VGW02
The tour grind is the reason this wedge works for a wide range of players. It uses a moderate sole with relief ground off the heel and toe, so the leading edge stays close to the turf when you open the face for a flop or a cut lob. Square it up for a stock full swing and the sole still has enough width to keep you from digging. That combination is why tour grinds show up on so many players' bags: they don't force you into one type of shot. Where the tour grind asks something of you is on the turf. It's happiest on firm to medium conditions and with a shallow-to-neutral angle of attack. If you take deep divots or play soft, wet courses most of the time, a wider or higher-bounce sole would sit better under the ball. The higher lofts, the 56, 58, and 60, are where the versatility pays off most, since those are the clubs you're most likely to lay open around the greens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vice VGW02 tour grind good for a high handicapper?
It works, with a caveat. The tour grind is versatile and forgiving enough for a mid-to-higher handicap on decent turf, and the two-degree loft gaps make it easy to build a set you can trust. But it rewards a shallow-to-neutral swing. If you take steep, deep divots or play soft courses, a higher-bounce sole will be more forgiving on your mishits.
What lofts should I get in the VGW02?
It comes in 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. A simple, reliable setup is 50 or 52 as your gap wedge, 54 or 56 for sand and mid-range shots, and 58 for the flop and lob shots. If you carry a strong pitching wedge, start higher; if your pitching wedge is closer to 46, the 50 fills the gap nicely.
How does a tour grind differ from other wedge grinds?
The tour grind has a moderate sole with the heel and toe ground away, which lets you open the face and still keep the leading edge low to the ground. Wider or full soles glide more on soft turf but resist opening. Low-bounce grinds suit firm, tight lies but punish steep swings. The tour grind sits in the middle, which is why it fits the most players.
Where do you buy the Vice VGW02 and why is it cheaper?
Vice sells direct through its own website rather than through golf retailers and pro shops. Cutting out that middle layer is how the price comes in below comparable big-brand wedges. The tradeoff is you usually can't hit it in a store first, so check the loft and spec details on Vice's site before you order.
Can I use the VGW02 as a full matching wedge set?
Yes, and that's one of its strongest arguments. Because it's offered in every loft from 50 to 60 in two-degree steps, you can run three or four wedges of the same model, sole, and feel. That consistency removes the guesswork you get when you mix grinds and shapes from different brands across your short-game clubs.
