Nike Vr Forged pro Combo Iron Review - Pluggedingolf

Hi, this is Matt Saternus for Plugged In Golf and in this video I'm going to review the new Nike VR Forged Pro Combo irons. Let's get plugged in. The Pro Combos iron set is really two iron sets in one. This is basically because Nike understands that better players want more control and precision in their short irons but they still need a little more forgiveness in their long irons. So from the 3 to the 6 iron, you have pocket cavities and from the 7 to the pitching wedge you have split cavities. The looks of the VR Forged Pro Combo irons are very consistent all the way through the bag from the 3 iron all the way through the pitching wedge. And that looks is pretty much what a good player or aspiring player is going to want: thin top line, relatively thin sole, and modest offset. The feel of these irons is pretty much what you'd expect from a forged players iron. It's nice and soft on centered hits, you get good feedback of where you hit the ball on the face, but what's most impressive about this set is that the feel is perfectly consistent from the 3 iron through the wedge. What you would have expected, or what I expected, was that the pocket cavity clubs would feel different than the short irons, but they don't. Nike has used a polymer, what they're calling a shot making goo or gel, and they've filled the cavity so that feel is very consistent even when you're switching from the pocket cavity clubs to the short irons. Now the performance of the short irons in this set is excellent. You get a lot of ball control, you can control trajectory very easily, shape shots very well, but what really sets it apart from similar irons in its range are the long irons, the 3 through 6 iron where they have the pocket cavity. Personally, I play 5 through pitching wedge because I hit a very low ball so a 3 and a 4 iron don't make sense for me because I don't get good distance gaps, but with these irons the ball launches 2 degrees higher compared to my clubs with the long irons so I could actually play 3 through pitching wedge and have real distance gaps all the way through because those long irons are getting up on a much more playable trajectory. In addition to that, they are a little more forgiving, you can hit it a little bit thin, a little toe, a little heel, and still get a pretty good result. With that, you're not really giving up anything in terms of control of the ball. If you want to hit a little cut, a little draw, you can still do that even with the long irons, so to me, you gets lots and lots of benefits from playing this combo set without really giving anything up. The other thing that Nike did really well was picking a great stock shaft for this. They're using the new DG Pro which is a flighted iron shaft. It's meant to help get those long irons up in the air a little more while keeping the short irons down. It's a great shaft, it feels really good, and pairs really well with what this iron head, this iron set is trying to do.
