About the Nike VR Full Cavity
The Victory Red Full Cavity - retailers and reviewers shortened it to "VR Full Cavity" well before Nike itself adopted the VR abbreviation for the 2010 VR Pro generation - was the third and most forgiving tier of Nike's three-way Victory Red iron launch, announced alongside the muscleback Victory Red Forged TW Blade and the mid-tier Victory Red Forged Split Cavity. It is cast from 431 stainless steel, about 25% softer than the 17-4 stainless commonly used elsewhere, with a deep undercut cavity, wide sole, thick topline, more offset than its forged siblings, and progressive face thickness for a lower, deeper centre of gravity. Lofts start level with the Split Cavity and TW Blade at the 4-iron (24 degrees) but run about two degrees stronger by the pitching wedge (45 versus 47), consistent with its game-improvement, more distance-oriented role. The stock set is 4-iron through approach wedge in steel or graphite, with a women's 5-iron through sand wedge set offered in graphite only.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Nike VR Full Cavity 7-iron?
The Nike VR Full Cavity 7-iron has a loft of 33 degrees, with a 62.5-degree lie and a 37-inch steel-shaft length (36.5 inches in the graphite version).
How does the VR Full Cavity compare to the Victory Red Split Cavity and TW Blade?
The Full Cavity shares an identical 24-degree 4-iron with its forged siblings but runs progressively stronger from there - a 33-degree 7-iron against 35 degrees for both the Split Cavity and TW Blade, and a 45-degree pitching wedge against their 47 degrees - reflecting its game-improvement, more distance-oriented design and added offset.
What clubs came in a stock Nike Victory Red Full Cavity set?
The standard set was 4-iron through a 50-degree approach wedge (8 clubs), offered in steel or graphite. A women's 5-iron through sand wedge set was offered in graphite only. No 3-iron appears on the retailer specification tables found for this model.
Was the Nike VR Full Cavity introduced in 2010?
No. It was announced in 2008 (26 August 2008 per Nike's press release, with a 1 November 2008 retail date) as part of the same three-way Victory Red launch as the Victory Red Forged TW Blade and Forged Split Cavity. It remained in retail and resale channels well into 2010-2011, which is likely why it is sometimes associated with the 2010 VR Pro generation, but no evidence of a separate 2010 launch was found.
Finding a used set
The Nike VR Full Cavity ran from 2008 to 2010 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- The Golf Wire, 'Nike Golf Introduces Series of Victory Red Irons for Golfers who Demand Tour Proven Craftsmanship, Performance and Forgiveness' (press release, 26 August 2008; retail from 1 November 2008) - names the three-model launch (Victory Red Forged TW Blades, Victory Red Forged Split Cavity, and the Full Cavity), gives the Full Cavity's 431 stainless steel construction (25% softer than 17-4), 4-AW set composition, women's 5-SW graphite set, and pricing ($799.99 steel / $999.99 graphite / $999.99 women's)
- InTheHoleGolf.com 'Nike Victory Red Full Cavity Irons' retailer spec page (intheholegolf.com/VRFC/Nike-Victory-Red-Full-Cavity-Irons.html) - supplies the full loft, lie, bounce, and steel/graphite length table for 4-iron through AW used above, plus the Victory Red grip by Eaton and the undercut-cavity/perimeter-weighting description
- 2nd Swing Golf 'Nike Victory Red Cavity Back Iron Set' page (2ndswing.com/golf-clubs/iron-sets/nike-victory-red-cavity-back-iron-set) - independently lists an identical loft/lie/length/bounce ladder for 4-iron through PW and names the stock shaft as True Temper Dynamic Gold High Launch, confirmed in S300 by this listing and in R300 by a Walmart pre-owned listing for the same set ('Nike Victory Red Full Cavity 4-PW, AW Iron Set... TT Dynamic Gold HL R300')
- Today's Golfer 'Nike Golf VR Full-Cavity Better Player Irons Review' and The Hackers Paradise 'Nike Victory Red Full Cavity Review' both describe the 431-stainless, undercut-cavity, perimeter-weighted construction and note the model has more offset than the Victory Red TW Blade and Forged Split Cavity; neither publishes a full per-club spec table
- This repository's sibling file data/nike/vr-split-cavity-irons.yaml documents the same three-way 2008 Victory Red launch (TheSandTrap.com bag-drop coverage, 18 November 2008) and already lists this model as its 2008-launch sibling; that cross-reference, plus the press release above, is why year_introduced is recorded as 2008 rather than 2010 - no evidence was found for a distinct 2010 'VR Full Cavity' product launched alongside the 2010 VR Pro Blade, and forum/resale listings (GolfWRX 'Previous Model Year Reviews' board, Golf Monthly marketplace posts from March 2011, eBay/Walmart pre-owned listings) show this same 2008 set still being bought, sold and discussed through 2010-2011
- No nikegolf.com page from this era is retrievable via the Wayback Machine (the domain's CDX index returns no matching captures), so all per-club figures come from retailer/review reproductions rather than a Nike-original chart; offset is not published in any source found and is omitted rather than inferred. year_discontinued and successor are inferred - no source names a direct replacement, but Nike's next cast game-improvement iron in this repository is the 2012 VR_S (data/nike/vrs-irons.yaml), which is the closest categorical descendant; confidence is medium given the retailer-table agreement offset by the lack of a manufacturer-original source
