About the Nike VR_S
The VR_S was Nike's 2012 distance iron, the first iron to carry the NexCOR variable-thickness face that Nike introduced across the VR_S metalwoods and irons that season. A PowerBow undercut moves weight low and deep behind the face for a high launch, on a wide-soled cast head with a deep pocket cavity. Lofts are moderately strong for the period - a 31-degree 7-iron and a 44-degree pitching wedge - and the lies run about a degree more upright than Nike's players irons of the same era. The stock set is 4-iron through approach wedge; figures below are the standard men's steel specification.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Nike VR_S 7-iron?
The Nike VR_S 7-iron has a loft of 31 degrees, with a 63-degree lie and a 37.5-inch steel-shaft length.
What is NexCOR on the Nike VR_S irons?
NexCOR is Nike's variable-thickness face design, first used on the 2012 VR_S line. The face is thinner in some zones so more of it flexes at impact, raising ball speed on strikes across the face.
What clubs come in a stock Nike VR_S iron set?
The stock set is 4-iron through pitching wedge plus a 48-degree approach wedge.
Finding a used set
The Nike VR_S ran from 2012 to 2013 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search the used listings on eBay, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- qsponge.com Nike VRS iron spec table (retrieved July 2026) - supplied loft, lie, length and bounce for 4-iron through AW. Single secondary aggregator; no second independent ladder was found, which caps confidence.
- The Hackers Paradise 'Nike VR_S Irons Review' (February 2012) - the 2012 release, the True Temper Dynalite 90 stock steel shaft, NexCOR face and PowerBow construction, and the $719.99 steel price.
- The loft ladder matches the VR_S Covert that replaced it (21/24/27/31/35/39/44/48 for 4-AW), consistent with Nike carrying the spec forward; lofts are considered solid, while the upright lie column rests on the single aggregator table.
