Nike Victory Red irons review

Price: £560.00

With the up-and-coming golfer in mind, Nike have designed a fantastic full cavity iron. With a great feel and ball flight.

Design and Tech Benefits

The Nike Victory Red irons are full cavity irons with more offset than the other models. The head is made from 431 stainless steel, which is 25% softer than 17-4 stainless steel. The centre of gravity is back in the head and a thicker face at the bottom helps create high-launching shots. The undercut cavity and perimeter weighting should increase the moment of inertia (MOI) for forgiveness on mis-hits.

Golf Monthly Verdict

Nike continue to design impressive, ultra-forgiving sets that offer plenty of margin for error. There is a huge difference visually compared to the rest of the Victory Red range with forgiveness levels at a premium. The long irons inspired confidence.

I bought the nike vr irons about 4 months ago and to say they've improved my game is an understatement!! I'm a 27 handicapper and before i had these i was using a 10 year old second hand bargain basement set so never realised what a quality fitted set would do to help me but these nike victory reds have helped no end (standard length, 2degrees upright, regular flex). My ball striking has improved and 99% of the time my shots go the way that i'm facing, which can only be a good thing. Since buying this iron set i've gone and won 2 saturday comps at my club and i'm hoping this year to lower my handicap more with the aid of the clubs.
My playing partners have had a swing with them (all of them being taylormade users) and have noted that the heads are slightly heavier than theirs but i feel this only helps me as i get more control due to not having to swing as fast or hard as the others to get the distance that i need.
I would highly recommend this set to anyone who is looking for a good set of game improving irons at a resonable price (i got mine 4-pw for 400pounds)

I've had a set of the full cavity Victory Reds for about three months now and i'm very impressed with them. My playing partners all play with TaylorMades and I was never really impressed by them so i thought i'd try this set. The heads do feel heavier than the TaylorMade sets but i feel this helps me as a high handicapper as i don't have to swing so hard to get the length i need. My shots have gone a lot straighter with a nice amount of height on them which is nice to watch as it makes its way towards the green. I now aim this year to enter more comps(I've already won two with these clubs) and get my handicap down, and these clubs are the ones to get me there.
This is a set i'd highly recommend to anyone who wants a good quality game improver iron set.
