I am looking to upgrade my irons and wedges. Currently hitting the Nike VR Pro Cavity 4-PW. Not trying to spend $1000. What can I upgrade to that’s comparable but maybe a bit better feel

Well…as far as ‘feel’ that’s subjective and  difficult to answer for you. Mizuno irons are pretty notorious for having a great feel to them. I played the MP54’s and can attest to them being beautifully buttery. 
 

Do you prefer a thinner top line? Do you want to stick to cavity backs? I’m assuming you’re not looking for Game Improvement irons? Titleist irons may appeal to you and you could definitely get a used set under $1000. The T-series are pretty sweet. I played the Titleist MB690’s and they had a beautiful feel but of course those are muscle backs and have minimal forgiveness. 
 

TaylorMade P770/790…another option. Really I’d suggest you explore some that look appealing then go somewhere where you can hit them and see what you think. Cheers!🙂

Let me tell you something, those Nikes are GREAT clubs.  The VR pro line is very much sought after.  You’ll be hard pressed to find anything that feels better.  Mizuno makes some on piece irons and might be a good place to start looking.  Don’t know your skill level but what you have now would be played by scratch golfers as well as 20 handicaps.  Taylormade p770 and 790 will get you a little more distance but the feel/sound will be clicky in comparison.  Check out Ping G and I series… can’t go wrong there either but keep in mind, if you want the same feel, you’re going to have to look for a one piece head.

Look at Sub 70.  They have some nice forged irons that are well under $1000.  Unfortunately, there aren’t many places that carry the fitting heads but you can order a couple of demo irons and try them for a couple of weeks for $20.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
