NIKE VICTORY RED IRONS

You'll never be able to play like Tiger Woods, but at least you can play his clubs. Nike has just released its Victory Red Forged TW Blades. The irons feature a more traditional muscle back design that includes the "TW" mark. The center of gravity is positioned to Woods' specs for control and shot shaping.

"I like the new VR Blades because of the consistent feel throughout the bag, how good it looks in a playing position and my workability," said Woods, who hopes to have the irons in the bag when he returns to competition next year. You don't have to wait that long. The 3-iron through pitching wedge set sells for $999.99.
