The size of the ViQ forged club head is slightly larger than the MR23 US spec & have more offset & thicker top line. The US spec is obviously less forgiving & ball flight is lower. Feel wise they are pretty much the same, both soft but not mushy with the US spec gives you more feelback when you do not hit the sweet spot, and the feel is not harsh. One needs a steady & consistent swing to fully utilise the US specs hence the urge to ho the ViQ forged. Both sets are excellent but the US spec is more demanding & I believe only 1500 sets of MR23 US spec CB are made.

I've tried them at the range in Hong Kong with NS Pro 950GH R & S flex. They are very forgiving as far as player CB is concerned & have a super feel, soft but plenty of feedback. Ball flight is high probably due to the massive cavity at the bottom. I haven't checked the specs but when I flushed it, the ball seemed to fly further than my MR23 US spec CB. As you may already know, the finishing is excellent. I also want to get this set & am waiting for the right deal. This set of iron is used by the most popular female JLPGA player Ai Miyazato though she uses graphite shafts.

Mine is with NS Pro 950GH S flex. They set up nicely & give you tons of confidence. Feel is as good as any player CBs though they are not as soft as Miz MP32 , is more a soft but crisp feel & when mis**t, it doesn't feel as harsh as TS201 but you can tell which part of the club head that you've hit. They are more forgiving than TS201 & trajectory is mid to high & very accurate. I'm a TS ho & currently owe the MR23 US spec CB & the X-blade CB, want to acquire the new Viq forged, tried it & fell in love with it & is waiting for the right deal. Anybody has tried the Viq forged? Master
