Nike VR Irons 2009!
There have been a lot of rumors about what the new lineup of Nike Golf Clubs will be named and just as much curiosity about what they will look like. With previous names like Sasquatch and Sumo, you just know they are going to try to stay hip and fresh when it comes to naming the new sticks. And when your known for literally changing the shape of golf and making it not only square but canary yellow, you also know that they might have a little something up their sleeve when it comes to putting a little shock and awe into what they look like as well.
Both Tiger Woods and KJ Choi have been spotted playing the new wedge from the line…called the Nike VR Wedge. Both tried out a 60 Degree wedge from the new line.
Rumor Mill:
- New Line will be called Victory Red or VR
- Irons Released Fall 2008…New Driver Released Early 2009
- 3 Sets of Irons (Blade Set, Combo Forged Set, Cast Players Set)
- Mix-and-Match Irons
- New Driver (Adjustable Loft and Lie or Adjustable MOI?)
SPOTTED: Are these the New Victory Red Irons or Nike VR Irons.

DO NOT GET THE FT-iq unless you like loosing 10 yards off the tee box. It is a very forgiving but it was 10 yards shorter.

Our testing here had the distance better then most we tested it against…which shaft did you have in it?

the new nike vr blades are simply sublime. look terrific and very forgiving. went from carrying a 6 iron 166 with the ping s58 to 197 with the the new vrs

Hey Andy C – welcome to the MGS blog. I agree with you they are a sweet looking blade. Only problem is they dont perform well at ALL on off center hits.

Andyc 31 yards extra from S58 to VRS!!! Come on……. Ive just been having a go with the blades and felt the cavity backs went a lot further then the blades!

MGS,
What are your thoughts on the VRS split cavity? I was able to demo a set recently and really liked them. From the looks of the comments you made you have hit them as well.

I am not the biggest fan of the VRS cavity. I feel there are many better mid-cavity irons.

Im debating on getting new irons.I have my mind on the niked forged blades, taylormade tp mb smokes or if I should wait for the mizuno mp 68’s to come out. What do you think is a wise choice?
