Nike Victory Red Blades Vs Nike Forged Blades

Thread Starter 
Anybody played both? I've been using the forged blades for about 2 years, and I love them. But with all the hype around the victory red irons, I just ordered a set of the victory red blades. Just wondering if anybody has opinions on which is better, though I'll find out in a few days lol

Re: Nike Victory Red Blades Vs Nike Forged Blades

Ive hit both, love them both alot! I think the old blades are better if you can get a really good new set of them, but if you can;t get them new the VR blades would be better.

I just like the look and feel of the old blades, saying that there still a very very good club. I even have a set of the VR blades.

Re: Nike Victory Red Blades Vs Nike Forged Blades

Yea...I think I'm going to play the VRs a few rounds before deciding if I should keep them or sell my old ones. I got such a steal on the VRs that I could break even selling my old ones, so can't lose either way

Re: Nike Victory Red Blades Vs Nike Forged Blades

FYI, Nike's coming out with the VR Pro Blades in '11, so that might explain why the VR Blades are coming down in price:



Check it out in a "scan" of Nike's 2011 catalog: http://ngnation.com/2010/08/30/sneak...quipment-line/

Where do you see that info, I pretty sure they have the same specs as the tws, which are completely standard.

Re: Nike Victory Red Blades Vs Nike Forged Blades

I have played the VR blades for two rounds and several driving range outings. They are very nice sticks, but I still like my old forged blades better. Might be a tad biased though Both sets were identical setups (+1 and 2* upright).

Lucky you, man! Sure wish I had a 1 & 2 iron in my old blades. The 1-iron is impossible to find.

It's pretty good, ironically I seem to hit it better from the fairway than the tee, I could live without it though, but I could never go without a 2 lol
