Hey y'all,
I have been looking at some of the irons on the Nike website and I really like the Victory Red Full Cavity irons. It says it has high forgiveness and low workability, compared with the other Victory Red series irons.
Does this mean that they are not as workable as any of the other irons out there or just not as workable as the Victory Red Blades?

I am looking at these as a replacement for my crappy wal-mart set I've been working with for the past 3 years (I'm kind of ready to upgrade! . I don't want to get these clubs and then be ready to upgrade in another year or so, I would like these to work for a while for me, especially because of the price...

I was debating on whether to get the full cavity victories or the 4D slingshot irons... Thoughts?

I am already planning to go try a few clubs out, but I have to go quite a ways to get to anyplace where I can from here.

Thanks for the help guys, and sorry if the message is kind of jumbled, its been a long day!

Surely the Victory Red full cavity's will be more workable than the 4D Slingshots... I would think anyway...

Thats kind of what I thought. But I want to be absolutely sure before I spend the money on these babies. I think the website just compared the victory red muscle backs, split, and full cavity irons. So I figured that it just meant the full cavity were low workability as compared to the muscle backs.

The Nike Victory Red full-cavity clubs are considered game improvement irons, so chances are they will work well for you.

It's best to check out independent reviews rather than the product description from Nike's website, in order to avoid bias.

Run a google-search with the following terms to find independent reviews:

nike victory irons "full cavity" review

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

I'll let you know when mine show up tomorrow...

I hit a friend of a friends 7 Iron and it felt really good... I am/was in need of a "Game Improvement" type club, and these felt really nice... I honestly didn't hit a lot of clubs before deciding on these, but I'm also playing a 12 year old set of Clevelands that I bought after hitting only a couple styles back when I bought em new.

SuperWade you have to let me know how you like these clubs! I liked the slingshot irons but they were real heavy compared to any of the other clubs I picked up! I didn't like that too much...

But I really LOVE the look of the Victory Reds. They just look amazing! Simple and sweet. I like them a lot. Hopefully you have good luck with them. Keep me posted!

The Victory Red blades are the nicest i've ever seen, short of maybe Miura's.

My first set of clubs were slingshots, but they were too short and had the wrong lie angles for me, and they were very, very good clubs. I imagine the Victory Red full cavity bacs are probably even better.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)

If you're also considering forged irons, I would recommend the victory red irons that are not full cavity back. They will let you become used to the feel of forged irons but also be forgiving because of the cavity.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
