Vice Boost Plus Golf Club Set Review: A Complete Package for the Next Level

Introduction

Vice has been steadily expanding its golf lineup, and the new Boost Plus package set is their latest release for 2026. This complete set includes a driver, 3-wood, 4-hybrid, irons from 6 through pitching wedge, a couple of wedges, and a putter. It is positioned as the next step for players who have outgrown a basic starter set but still want the convenience of a complete package.

The retail price for this set is $999. That places it above many entry-level package sets but well below what you would spend assembling a comparable set from major OEM brands. The question is whether this package delivers enough performance and quality to justify that price point.

Who This Set Is For

The Boost Plus is aimed at golfers who are ready to move beyond a beginner set. Vice already offers their standard Boost set for true beginners, so the Boost Plus is designed for players who have been using a used set or an entry-level package and are looking for something more capable.

This type of advanced package set is becoming more common across the industry. The idea is to offer a complete set with better components than a basic starter set, without requiring the buyer to piece together clubs individually. That approach has a somewhat limited market, since more experienced golfers often prefer to customize their bag. But for someone who wants a quality complete set without the hassle of building one club by club, this type of package makes sense.

First Impressions and Design

The Vice Boost Plus set makes a strong visual impression. The branding is carried through consistently across all the clubs, which gives the set a cohesive, premium look. The color scheme features clean striping rather than the topographical map design Vice has used on some other models, and it looks sharp.

The grips are one of the first things you notice. They are extremely sticky and tacky, which is not a bad thing at all. In fact, they are among the most grippy grips available. It remains to be seen how they hold up over the long term and whether they become slippery in wet conditions, but in dry conditions they provide excellent grip.

The heads on the irons are fairly long with not a lot of offset, giving them a clean, player-oriented look. The driver has a full titanium head with a matte finish and a deep face. There is some draw bias built into the driver, which is worth noting for players who already tend to draw the ball. The head covers are better than most package sets, though they are still a bit flimsier than premium options.

Driver Performance

The driver in this set is a full titanium head with a matte finish and a deep face. The Vice logo serves as the alignment line on the crown. There is definitely some draw bias to this driver, so players who naturally draw the ball will need to be mindful of that.

Sound-wise, the driver performs better than most package set drivers, though it does have a slightly tingy tone. Feel is decent, but it is not exceptional. On well-struck shots, the driver delivers good distance. However, on off-center hits, it tends to lose some distance. The trajectory is also noticeably low, which is a theme across this set.

For players who want to stay in the Vice family, the VGD01 driver is a much stronger performer. That said, the driver included in this set is serviceable and will work fine for the target audience.

Fairway Wood and Hybrid

The 3-wood in this set performs well. Ball flight is not super high, but the shot shape is controllable. Feel is decent, and the club is easy to work with. On the course, it proved reliable for shaping shots and keeping the ball away from trouble.

The 4-hybrid is one of the stronger clubs in the bag. It delivers nice peak height, good distance, and very straight ball flight. Unfortunately, it did not get much time on the course during testing, but the range session showed it to be a dependable club. For many golfers, the hybrid will be one of the most used clubs in the set.

Iron Performance

The irons in this set are fairly strong lofted, with the 7-iron coming in at 29 degrees. That means the 8-iron is around 33 degrees. The strong lofts contribute to good distance, and these irons have plenty of pop. As package sets go, this is probably on the higher end of distance.

Feel-wise, the irons are a little on the stiffer side. They are not super buttery like some premium forged irons, but they are not harsh either. The feel coming off the face is solid, if not thrilling.

The main issue with the irons is trajectory. The ball flight is considerably lower than expected given the loft structure. This is likely due to the shafts in these clubs. There are two shaft options available, and the set tested here had the heavier 110-gram regular shafts. The low trajectory means less stopping power, and the ball tends to roll out more after landing.

Forgiveness is a strength of these irons. Off-center hits still produce good results, and the clubs are easy to hit straight. Control is decent, but the lack of peak height makes it harder to hold greens, especially with longer irons.

Putter Performance

The putter is arguably the best club in this entire set. It is a stainless steel putter with a fang tooth design and a slant neck. The face has nice milling, and the top has clean T alignment lines. The large Vice-branded grip feels good in hand.

On the course, the putter performed exceptionally well. The roll coming off the face is smooth, and there is a definitive sweet spot that feels very nice. Speed control is excellent, and the putter inspires confidence on the greens.

This is a club that could easily stay in the bag even if a golfer later upgrades other parts of the set. The quality and performance are genuinely impressive.

Wedge Performance

The set includes two wedges: a 50-degree and a 56-degree. A 58-degree would be a nice addition for some players, but the 56-degree is probably the better choice for the majority of golfers this set is aimed at.

The wedges look really nice with very clean designs. One standout feature is the full face grooves, which provide extra spin and control on shots around the green. The wedges have less bounce than the other clubs in the set, and the balance feels more advanced. Feel is great, and they perform well from a variety of lies.

In testing, the wedges proved to be very forgiving and easy to use. They were particularly effective for getting up and down from around the greens. Between the putter and the wedges, this set is very strong at the bottom of the bag.

Buying Advice

The Vice Boost Plus set is priced at $999. That is more than many package sets on the market, but still well under what you would pay for a comparable set from major OEM brands if shopping new. The question is whether a package set makes sense once you become a better golfer.

For distance, this set earns a solid rating. The irons have plenty of pop, and the driver delivers good distance on well-struck shots. Forgiveness is also strong, particularly with the irons and wedges. The putter is excellent. The main weakness is control, specifically the lack of peak height and stopping power with the irons.

Aesthetically, this set is impeccable. The branding is sharp and consistent across all clubs. The feel of the irons is a bit stiff, and the driver sounds slightly tingy, but overall the set looks and feels premium.

If you are a golfer looking for a complete set upgrade and you value the convenience of a package, the Vice Boost Plus is a strong option. The wedges and putter alone make it worth considering. Just be aware that the low trajectory of the irons may require some adjustment, especially if you play courses with firm greens.

Conclusion

The Vice Boost Plus is a well-designed package set that delivers strong performance in several key areas. The wedges and putter are standout clubs that could easily remain in the bag even after upgrading other parts of the set. The hybrid is also a reliable performer.

The main trade-off is the low trajectory of the irons, which limits stopping power. If you need distance, these clubs deliver. If you prioritize control and height, you may want to consider other options or plan to upgrade the shafts.

Overall, this set represents good value at its price point, especially for golfers ready to move beyond a beginner set. It looks great, performs well in most areas, and offers a complete solution for players looking to improve their game.
