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.

    • During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture. 
    • My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?
    • 6700 treelined course (72 rating). It was a good yardage for my distance, not his. It was an official mid am competition. He finished 2nd with 4 under after 36 holes.    
    • Played Sunday at my home course and shot an 83.....with four 3 putts.   So that is at least promising.   Played Men' Night last night (9 holes) and was Even after 7.....but then had a tough bogey and a terrible double to finish +3.   Either way.....I like the way things are trending.
