Testers Wanted: Vice Golf Irons

We are always excited when we can bring new products to the MyGolfSpy member testing platform, especially when they have created a lot of buzz. The new irons from fit this mold and we are thrilled to have our members get their hands on them for testing.

About Vice Golf Irons

Vice Golf made a big leap by entering the golf club market. The Wunderkind irons consist of the VGI01 and VGI02. With many DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands producing irons, it would be easy to think these are template irons. However, that thought would be wrong.

Vice Golf partnered with HIO, the largest golf fitting and club building company in Europe, to create and build these irons using their combined expertise and knowledge. In addition, all Vice Golf clubs will be built in-house at the HIO headquarters in Munich, Germany.

The Testing Opportunity

We will be selecting four golfers to test, review and keep a set of Vice Golf irons. Two testers will be selected to test the game-improvement offering, the VGI02 irons. Another two will test the player’s irons, the VGI01.

The VGI02 irons have a two-piece cast head with minimal offset and slight heel weighting to increase face closure. The head is lighter to help promote increased swing speed. All of these characteristics are focused on making the game easier for mid to high handicap golfers.

DeChambeau Takes U.S. Open Lead

I had the fortunate experience of talking long hours with Donald Ross more than thirty years ago, ad the unhappy experience of writing his obituary in 1948 for The Pinehurst Outlook. He was a strict man, with himself and everybody else, and he looked distastefully on amateurs who didn't do anything with their lives except play golf. He thought, really thought, and all those thoughts were channeled through golf. If golf can be regarded as some kind of religion among some people, then Ross regarded Pinehurst as his Vatican City.

Making A Bag With 14 Memorable U.S. Open Clubs

The 124th playing of the U.S. Open is taking place this week at Pinehurst No. 2.

Similar to our compilation of historic Masters gear, we wanted to build a bag with memorable clubs used in the U.S. Open over the years.

These aren’t necessarily the best clubs or the clubs I would want to use for a recreational round—but they are all memorable for one reason or another.

These are the clubs that hit some of the most iconic shots in U.S. Open history. In many cases they are representative of the greatest champions the tournament has witnessed.

Testers Wanted: Vortex Rangefinders

The MyGolfSpy Forum prides itself on bringing new brands and equipment to our member testing platform. Golf is growing and so are the brands entering the golfing industry. It can be difficult to keep track of them all and even harder to discern which brands are actually producing worthwhile equipment for consumers. This is where you come in.

About Vortex

Vortex Optics is an American company that makes high-end scopes, binoculars and rangefinders for hunting and other outdoor sports. In February, Vortex released golf-specific rangefinders.

With world-class optics and an unlimited, unconditional lifetime warranty, their new line of rangefinders has a lot of potential.

Their current lineup of rangefinders consists of three models: Anarch, Blade Slope and Blade. The Blade is the base version and includes a cart magnet and ping spotter mode. The Blade Slope builds on those features by adding a slope function. The Anarch, their premium model, adds a red display and image stabilization. All models are tournament legal, shockproof and waterproof.

The Testing Opportunity

For this testing opportunity, we are looking for four golfers to test, review and keep a Vortex rangefinder. We will have the full lineup tested and select two golfers for the Anarch and one each for the Blade and Blade Slope.

Tough breaks, big shots at the 2024 U.S. Open

Here are the top moments from Friday at the 2024 U.S. Open in North Carolina.

Scheffler makes cut on number despite 74, 'grind'

‘Mad’ Hatton Searches For Right Mix Of Grace And Agita

Tyrrell Hatton is known for his piquant thoughts on golf course setups and profane self-flagellation seemingly every time a shot goes awry but his greatest challenge during tournament weeks is lunch in the locker room.

“The sound of people chewing, it drives me mad,” he says, citing Haotong Li as the worst offender. At home, Hatton plays music during meals because, he says, “I can’t stand to hear myself chew.”

It’s not easy being wired like Hatton. Just driving around his native England often sets him off. “I just have to vent in the car, maybe do a little shouting. I’m not going to follow the person that cut me off and have a tear at them, though sometimes I want to.”

Yet somehow this cat on a hot tin roof is thriving on golf’s most stressful course at its most pressure-packed championship. With rounds of 68-71, Hatton is in contention at the 124th United States Open. He is already halfway to a unique Grand Slam, having flipped the bird at both the Masters and Open Championship. But now this six-time winner on the European Tour, and champion of the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational, is in position to become known for more than just his temper.

And the key is—get this!—being a little more chill.
