took the cleveland 792 vas irons out for a round

[super20dan]

havnt been out in several years. you can laugh and ridicule these all you want but these preform much better than you think. some of the straightest irons i have ever hit. even trying to move the ball is hard. i hit some spectacular shots with these.

Pavin and I played a set of those back in the day and from my perspective they were pretty solid clubs and a bit ahead of their time.
Needless to say Corey played them slightly better than I did. lol!

[NDGolfer13]

Those were so ugly but you're right they do perform.

I like it.

[mosesgolf]

Wow. Blast from the past. Yes corey pavin rocked these and did pretty good with them. But corey can play with anything.

[scomac2002]

They're unique! I would think that they could be a good choice for a very playable semi-vintage bag. One thing is for sure, they would be cheaper to buy than a set of Eye 2 BeCu's!

[mejmo]

Noooo, not the vasectomy clubs! Stay away from the big V!

[animalgolfs]

I could hit them, but hit TPS black better

[leftie]

Those were sure ugly irons in the day, not much has changed!

[cdndude]

I loved those clubs at the time...strange look for the time ...but they worked

My cousin gave me a set of these when I was 10 years old. Ugliest irons Ive ever played but they did get the job done.

I was paired up with a guy once who had a fully mixed bag. He had all different irons, none of his wedges matched, etc. His 3, 4, and 5 irons were VAS. Said he played the course almost every day.

On the first tee I had this image that he was a total scrapper, had been collecting this bag of all his favorite clubs from the last 20 years. I just knew he was going to shoot 68 or something. I assumed he knew the course like the back of his hand.

Then he flubbed one off the first tee, and proceeded to shoot like 125. But it was a fun dream while it lasted.

Did you lose a bet which required you to play a round with these?

If I could find a set for cheap I would definitely bag them. But I'm a non conformist and would play them for the sheer shock value on the first tee.

[mike6055]

This was the first name brand iron set I bought. . . Played ok with em. Might try to find some just for nostalgia's sake. Probably won't shoot any worse than I do now...90 is 90

There's a goofy younger guy in my league who picks up oddball clubs at thrift shops and the like, he has one of these 1 irons he uses off the tee sometimes. Strangest looking thing I've ever seen outside the Power Pod.

[willard1523]

My first real set in high school. Still have them.

[Jaygolf37]

Believe it or not, there used to be clone versions of the 792 Vasectomies. I would pair them with some sweet Hammer's.

[GolfProTJ]

Didn't Pavin win a major with them? Went from the 485/588 tour action to those. WOW

I got paired up with a guy this summer playing a set of these.
He played pretty good, prolly 10 hdcp or so, iron play was the best part of his game too!
I passed on a set at a pawn shop a while back for $40, should have picked them up for sh*ts and giggles.

Necromancing an old thread for the heck of it....

 

Pavin played a set of irons with this labeling, but his were very modified. It looks like he did use them in his U.S. Open win.

 

I played them when first starting out. They were my second set of irons. I thought they would be an improvement for me vs. my first set, Hogan Edges. I was right. I moved from them to the over-hyped TM Burner Bubble irons. A mistake; so much torque in those shafts!

I would jump on them for way more than that if I found a set with reg shafts. I'd love to see the looks on the faces of guys when they saw them on the first tee. I also have young daughters who are starting to take an interest in the game and the vas would be a great set for them with the purple and all haha.

And they were shank proof.

Hi guys - I am switching my woods/hybrid around and removing my 3 wood, keeping hybrid and putting in a OLD 1 iron, these suckers. Cleveland VAS. probably the easiest 1 iron to hit, has largeoffset, low COG, etc. It is between this am old Ping eye 2 2 iron that is bent 1 deg strong (not be me :-). for me was so-so off the deck but solid off the tee, very easy to keep straight.

 

I cant even find this in the USGA confirming list, does anyone know if these are "approved"? I dont play in many tournaments but try to keep it legit. I am looking at the new mizuni MP18 MMC 2 iron, that looks pretty sweet but havent hit them yet. Current sticks are 3-5 MP-25, 6-PW MP-5, proj X 6.5 +0.5 inch, 1 deg up.

 

Yes this iron looks horrible but i had it since i bought it new forever ago, kind of nostalgic for me, going to re-grip and give it a shot.

[super20dan]

even my wife can hit the vas 1 iron
