Hey Alex, you are one of my favorite TH-camrs and I always look forward to your videos. Some things that you didn't mention that you should mention when reviewing irons is are these hollow injected irons like the P790? There is a black dot in the toe which makes me think they are. Another thing you didn't mention is what is the 5 iron loft? These days some 5 irons are 27 degrees and others are 24 degrees which is actually a 1/2 inch short 4 iron. In future videos can you let us know complete specs and types. I know I can look it up but if you include that info it would just make all of our lives easier. I would have to say high penetrating ball flight is more to do with shaft. They sound amazing because they come with great shaft options but I. Hold never buy them because I play X100 Tour Issue and if I can't get those I won't buy the club because that is what I play and I don't want to change. Most of my life I have played forged muscle cavity irons. In 2012 when I got my last irons I spent 6 months testing and surprisingly ended up in Titleist 712 MB's. I don't find them that unforgiving. You also keep pushing light fast shafts. I hate those. I like heavy shafts. It helps my tempo and helps me feel where the club is during the swing. I think most golfers would benefit more from heavier shafts rather than light shafts. I know 125 isn't light but just saying to counter you talk about light shafts. When I got my most recent Titleist driver, 3 wood and 5 wood I was talked into 60 grams in my driver and 70gram shafts in my 3 and 5 woods. I really do t care for them but have not had the opportunity to change them out yet as I have not played that much golf in a few years. When I do get new clubs I'm going to get 70 in my driver, 80 in my 3 wood, and 90 in my 5 wood and never listen to anyone again. I also play my driver at 44.5", my 3 wood at 42.5" and my 5 wood at 42" and I'm only 5'7" and 140 lbs. it sure what that is in stones. Anyway, you do a great job with the videos. Try to pin a comment with the 5 iron spec so we know. Thanks Alex.
You being a PG a professional and scratch golfer any club will feel good you could cut down a hockey stick and still hit the ball solid. Us 15 to 20 handicappers can't relate to the same experience
They didn't keep this quiet as I've seen a lot of content regarding their release. That was here in the States, not sure about your region. However, they are very good looking.
Keeping them quiet? Haha I’ve had 15 emails from vice in the last 5 weeks about these irons just because I bought golf balls off their website 3 years ago and I haven’t unsubscribed. The price will need to drop more towards Takomo/Maltby prices or these don’t stand a chance in my opinion. Directly to consumer prices can’t be $1000 usd without being able to try them or get fitted for them in store. Just my opinion as a golf gear nerd.
After seeing this video went to their site and guess what ? No lefties !! … great job your doing but really like when you reviews can you mention all specs and availability with lefties …. 👍🏽
Any advice on how to get support on returning a item purchased. Have been trying to return their putter for almost a month and they stop responding to me.
The problem is that these clubs aren't a fraction of the cost of comparable competitors. These are suffering from the same problem as the putters. Vice made their name selling balls that performed the same as a pro v1 at half the price when bought in bulk (not half the price anymore). The new vice putters are comparable to huntington beach putters, but for more money. These irons look like they will be comparable to the name brand clubs, but not the high end offerings from those brands. They will be comparable or worse than the other brands $1200 offerings, at the same cost. Meanwhile, you have manufactures like Takomo that are coming in at a fraction of the cost and basically following the business model that put Vice on the map. I understand trying to grow the business, but I feel like Vice will alienate too many of its current customers and won't be able to bring in enough of the customers willing to spend this price for their clubs and not have the mizuno, titleist, cobra, callaway, taylor made, etc branding.
The only issue I see is that Vice is known as a DTC with their balls, but these irons are priced like all the big brands BUT they are still a DTC company. Poor executive decision making.
They originally were. Their balls can be found in Walmart now and these clubs are also available to be tested and fitted at Club Champion. They seem to be slowly leaving the DTC space but no advertising it as much.
@@justinkoons8782 Hopefully they have a lot of new consumers lined up, because most of their current customers were there in the beginning because of the cost to quality ratio. Now it seems as those two things have flipped. I can buy forged clubs from the top manufactures with tungsten weighting in the toe and heel and any option in club shaft for about the same price as these forged irons. What makes them worth what they are? In my eyes, it looks like they put less tech and pricey materials in than other manufactures, but are offering at the same price
200 euro per club... Thats why they are quiet. The price is stupid.. I would love to have them, but 200 euro per club...WTF? Thats 1400 euro for a set 4-PW.. thats just stupid. But they look realy realy good.
@@edanzorewhat do you mean not really? He’s been using Vice balls for quite some time and has Vice boxes in the back ground of his pod cast. I think Alex had a video a while back now talking about it.

I feel like they could compete at the $800 range but I agree the price is a little steep for DTC. But it does have a lot of cool shaft options which is almost worth it for some flair in my opinion.
@@calebm2161The only shafts they offer without paying for upgrades is the one shaft, in three different weights. 4-PW is $1154.93 USD and that’s before shipping and taxes. These will be a very tough purchase at that price.
*I bet you didn’t see this coming?*
love the looks of that 9i. Inviting is the right word. Big blade height (just like my i525). Minimal offset too. Almost a wedge size!

I completely empathize it is a righty world
Man those looks amazing, but still harder to hit than my 5 hybrid! 😮
Do they come in left hand?

Are these made by the same manufacturer that makes the new Takomo and Caley irons just different names ??
I don’t think so. Vice says they are made in Germany, in their website.
These irons are beautiful.
i see you got the video out for the vices wtg alex.
Very nice looking blades. I like blades.
Looks like my Bridgestone J15cb irons
Looks like the Bettinardi’s, but it’s been said before
I’d play them! Thanks
I think i gona switch from my blades to this butt i think i gona buy them with more loft becaus they lock very strong...

9iron should be 40 yards shorter than 5.But,your shots were not😅
Beautiful
Why don't you say the lofts of clubs?
What are they?
Look them up lazy
Was it just me or was that rough lie very favorable. Mine are always buried

You’re sponsored by Vice so we knew this review was coming and what your thoughts on them would be.
Haha!
Is this true?
Not really
@@edanzorewhat do you mean not really? He’s been using Vice balls for quite some time and has Vice boxes in the back ground of his pod cast. I think Alex had a video a while back now talking about it.
Yet here you are
Too much chat. I also note your sponsored by Vice, what no Price yet.
$1100-1200 for a set of the forged 4-PW depending on color
$850-$870 for a set of the cavity 5-PW up to $1120-$1160 5-SW depending on color
You are pay by vice golf.Salesman you are😅
Simple they are too expensive
They’re made in Germany. Taylor made are produced in China yet nobody complains there.
I think they look sexy
Overpriced.
They’re made in Germany mate. taylor made are made in China and you’re bitching about the price 😂
How cheap are they
not cheap... £1120 with their own shafts and own grips...
@@grieveousbodilyharm then it's a no from me
Vice don't do things by half. It's no surprise their irons are great. Bernadetti have done a good job too.
Bettinardi irons look amazing and great things said about them but I'm not spending $1600 on irons that are DTC.
Me either old mate, as you can double that price here in Australia….Still no denying they are nice but.
Made in China or Vietnam ?
Made in Germany
