The Vice VGi03 irons deliver top-tier forged feel and competitive distance, but their flashy branding and lack of traditional heritage make their target audience hard to define.
Their scorecard
Forgiveness: 3/5 — High for a blade due to concave back
Workability: 5/5 — Traditional compact blade shape
Feel: 5/5 — Buttery 1020 carbon steel forging
Distance: 4/5 — Strong lofts provide extra yards
What they rate
One-piece 1020 carbon steel forged construction for great feel
Competitive pricing compared to major OEM blades
Personalized unboxing and spec-sheet experience
Forgiving 'concave' back design helps with off-center hits
What they don’t
Distracting colorful ferrules and grips in some configurations
Identity crisis between being a 'cool' brand and a serious blade maker
Stronger lofts (32° 7-iron) may not suit traditionalists
