Love em! Had a set of split cavity built for me. Changed to a project X shaft and 2 down on the standard lie. First round kicked ass!! Can't wait to get out again. Replacing my old irons was a hard choice. Lot of good rounds but the poor things were ready for the sidelines. It was worth it.

Seems like comments should be made about how they play vs how they look... i could care less about the looks... I want to be able to be more effective using them... if you like looks, keep doing you hair & make up while you drive.

Just bought a set of the split cavity's. Tried the blade and fell in love with it but looking for something a little more forgiving. The heads are made in Thailand and the clubs are assembled in the US. I loved the look and feel of the blade. Range balls felt soft and the club looks great at address. Picking up the split cavity's tomorrow so will see how it goes.

These irons are beautiful. just bought myself a set. No matter what anyone says these clubs are very nice looking, nike hit the nail on the head with these irons. They feel nice and are very forgiving. I used to play with the Nike NDS and loved them but they are no comparison to these

I hit the full blade yesterday on the simulator in my local golf shop and the club is absolutely amazing! Nike really did an amazing job with this club. I am getting the full blade in the X100 stiffness because of a 108-115 swing speed with a 6 iron. Cobra pro cb was my first choice but i have a new favorite!

Played with my new set of VR Splits yesterday for the first time. I'd been playing with the TaylorMade r7's, but was looking to upgrade to a better players club (about a 10 handicap right now). These really are very nice clubs. I don't care if they're made in China or Timbuktu or Japan, they go through quality control, and you're going to get a product you will be satisfied with. They very appealing at address and in my opinion, people complaining about the logo have nothing better to complain about, so they chose that. They're solid, as long as any iron, and the feel is outstanding. I had no problem getting the ball in the air and the flight was also a plus. The one kicker, the $900 dollar price tag. Demo a set, hit some at a shop, but do your buying on ebay. You can get a set there for about $625 any day of the week.

It should be known that all of these Niike irons are manufactured in China. The quality level is average at best. Tiger's actual clubs, as well as most tour players clubs, are made in Japan by either Miura or Endo. Tiger's irons have always been made by Mr. Miura himself, including his previous Tltleist blades. Buy a Japanese forging, spend more and feel perfection. There are many great brands. Epon, Miura, Tourstage, Mizuno just to name a few. Hit em straight.

Nike's biggest mistake to date: not capitalizing on the left-handers looking for a players club, like the blades, forcing others like me to not consider remarkable clubs.

Just bought the VR blades today.. gave em go in the simulator but you know how that goes.. Taking them to the driving range and course tomorrow. I had previous nike forged blades before and loved them. BTW I am a 2 handicap and I do not recommend these for any player higher than around say 8-10. That 3 iron is a beast to hit if you have never hit blades and struggle with ball striking. Try the split cavity ones first. I hit those also and hit them well too and was undecided. I like the look of the blades better so I got them... We will see how it goes tomorrow though. I love the look of the VR logo and the colors of the club though. That is what caught my eye in the beginning.

The split cavities were the first clubs I tried about 3 months ago when I was looking for new irons. I'm unfortunately not a long hitter, i've never understood why as I am heavy, tall and strong. But I sadly carry my 8 irons typically about 110-125. I tried out the 8 iron Split Cavity, 150 90% of the time. I was very impressed. I like how they look when you're above the ball, they give you much confidence that a blade would strip you of. So I than moved away fro Nike's as I thought they were tacky and to "Poser" like. I was very wrong in that theory as here I am now saving up for a set. It is safe to say that Nike is one of the industries leading iron maker. And no one can argue the fact these clubs were shaped around Tiger's preferences, so you will not find a club of equal caliber as he is the best.
