They should shoot for $800-900 range, so a little more than the $500 (Takomo/Ram/Kirkland) sets but $4-600 less than the TaylorMade/Calloway, Mizuno, and Ping. I think only a few hundred dollars less isn't enough to gamble on these direct to consumer irons. They look great though.

[@Simple_Man_Golf]

@@jasonmizuno6117 Realistically they aren’t even that much less. 1200 dollars for a set of irons gets you a set of Srixons or Wilsons

[@VICEGOLF]

Hey Jason, we appreciate your thoughts on this. Similar to our golf balls, our primary objective was to release a range of clubs that can compete with the best out there. We know that these irons are producing as good (better in some cases...) numbers as the traditional brands you noted - we are in this really exciting time where the more independent reviews that are published, the more it will become evident that we have a really really high performing product! It's also worth noting, that the pricing of clubs is heavily driven by not only the physical product/R&D, but also the incredibly lengthy logistical operation behind any club manufacture. There is a huge segment of the golf club market who drive down their prices by cutting every single corner there is throughout their operation. Of course, the price is important to consumers, but we have no intention to compromise in quality at any stage of our operation. The best example I can share of this; we've taken on the workload to custom build everything in Germany. Why? It ensures the product we ship is of the highest quality. Thanks again for your thoughts here!

4:17 Regarding shafts, the Vice web site says the steel shafts are "Whiz Steel by True Temper" with a choice of 90, 105 or 125 grams. Or you can choose Whiz Graphite by Mitsubishi Chemical in 45, 60, 75, 95g.

[@alexjennings3165]

I do really like the look of these clubs and I like a lot of Vice’s products. However, I think these are priced too high, especially when you consider that they don’t have a name premium shaft… For the same price you could get a set of Srixon Z Forged irons with Dynamic Gold X100 shafts.

[@Simple_Man_Golf]

@@alexjennings3165 They built their whole identity around being a lower priced alternative to the ProV1 and ProV1X, only to bring out a set the same price as a set of T150 Titleist Irons. So many other DTC Club manufacturers (Takomo, Sub70, Maltby) are producing insanely good clubs for WAY less

[@VICEGOLF]

Hey Alex, thanks for the compliment! Regarding the shafts, our steel shafts are made in collaboration with True Temper and Graphite with Mitsubishi.

[@donjr.m]

Hey Rick, I feel like you were trying too hard to sell these clubs lol. Vice golf clubs($1200+) is definitely not for an average golfer. Let’s be honest, you should recommend the kirkland irons($500), you were hitting better shots with them.

[@jbgtly4930]

Unless they are just fine with selling a very small amount of these clubs, they are going to have to seriously lower the price. $600 should be the max for these. At $1200 only the most hardcore Vice fanboys with that kind of money are going to buy these. Cant imagine there are a lot of those people out there.

[@jonathandeboer74]

I would purchase a set of Takomo irons or a used set of Taylormade, Callaway, and Mizuno irons well before considering these. I could see myself using their balls but not any of their clubs. I am not a fan of the limited shaft options either. Great video Rick!

1200 bucks is NOT cheap. That’s basically a set of Titleist or Callaway Irons. Vice built their entire brand on being less expensive than the big brands. This was NOT the move. For 1200 bucks you can nearly buy TWO sets of Takomo irons.

[@LegacyAirTech]

Completely agree, and I even play Vice balls. If Im spending $1000+ on irons Im not even going to consider Vice - Im going with Wilson, Titleist, Mizuno, Ping, Taylormade, Callaway, Cobra or even PXG. These clubs look great and Im sure they perform well, but with no track record and proprietary shafts on a budget brand, they need to compete with Takomo not Mizuno…

@@LegacyAirTech if you buying just because of the name you probably should stay with the heritage brands. BUT If you really want to get the best product for your game you should definitely consider us. Vice clubs have been developed with millions of data points from amateurs like you and me in mind.

[@cameronslater1857]

My honest view... I don't believe any company has the right to charge premium club prices when brand new into the market,$1100 isn't particularly cheaper, especially not considering who these irons are aimed at. Surely higher prices come with heritage, and a proven track record. I think they look nice but I wouldn't pick these over a company that have been at it for years. Not at all...

[@VICEGOLF]

Hey Cameron, you've raised a totally valid point here. What we know and love about the golf world, is that golfers always demand high performing equipment to aid their game. The more we see independent reviews of our clubs, like Rick's here, it will become evident that our products are as high performing as any others out there.

If the heads have been made lighter it would be interesting to know what the swingweight is. To keep it in the normal steel shaft SW of D0-D2 they will have had to lose weight at the grip end somehow. Personally really don’t like a light swingweight.

Yes they are new to the club market game but lets be honest when buying a new set of irons at minimum you are looking to spend anywhere from 1200 to 2000. If you are expecting lower than you are looking at the prior years models or used sets. If you were to customize a set of Titleist or any other brand the price jumps closer to 2000.
