Fourteen TC-770 Forged vs. 2007 Tourstage Viq Forged

Looking for a new set to start the year, and would appreciate everyone's opinion on the pro's and con's between the two. Which would you rather have, the Fourteen TC-770 forged or the 2007 Tourstage Viq forged?

I currently use the fourteen irons. And I believe that what fourteen publish on their website with regard to the design goals of their irons are exactly as mentioned! I have not hit the Viq, but will be able to try them out soon. Having said that, the Viq and tc770 forged seem to have different golfers' ambitions in mind, with the Viq geared towards more game improvement and the tc770 are game enhancement biased. On my experience, the tc770forged are smack in between the xblade cb irons and viq forged irons.

I've just hit a demo 7 iron of the new Viq forged. The feel of the club is very good, as generally expected from 'premium forged' tourstage clubs. I tried the club with an nspro 950 stiff flex shaft. Shots have a slight draw bias. This club is like a spiffed up ping i5 iron. Its offset is more obvious than the fourteen tc770forged.

Thanks for the input. It sounds like the TC-770's are gonna be more to my liking than the Viq's, with more of an enhanced offset and the draw bias. If what you say about the 770's being in between the Xblade CB's and the Viq forged is true, than their definitely the one I'm looking for!!! Thanks for the post.
