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)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
