Japanese equipment brand Vega may not be a household name, but they have gained a bit of a cult following in some markets. This year, they have announced their 2025 irons range, said to be their most complete and advanced lineup to date.
The brand was first founded around 120 years, made by the same craftsman who worked in the forging of samurai swords. They claim to be the first brand to have introduced forged cavity back irons, and have been under the guidance of a new team in the UK since 2024 – so you may be seeing a little more of them in the future.
The big technology that is central to Vega’s iron range is the Interchangeable Weight Bar system. This was first introduced in the Mizar Pro Blade and now features across the selection.
It offers great levels of stability, optimised energy transfer and a tighter dispersion. It allows for ultra-precise custom builds, at an even greater level than tour pros are getting on tour trucks.

Vega 2025 Irons and Wedges
Vega SS Irons
The Vega SS (£1,494) is said to be Vega’s modern take on a classic muscleback iron.
It’s the most compact and least offset iron that the brand has released, designed to encourage control, workability and a clean profile at address.
The irons feature strategic toe weighting with a distinctive ‘cut and grind’. This adds to the refined shape, for a better visual appeal to encourage stronger performance.
Mizar Pro Irons
There is a continuation of the Mizar Pro Blade (£1494), which has now been joined by the Mizar Pro Cavity Back (£1,494). Both are crafted from the same forging, making sure that the two irons look consistent and blend well within a combo set.
They have the same loft progression and a very similar design, with two slightly different options. The blade offers traditional feel and shot shaping. The cavity back encourages more forgiveness.
The irons have a thin topline and minimal offset. There’s also a refined sole grind, ensuring smooth turf interaction to allow golfers to play a range of shots.
Lyra Irons
If you’re looking for more forgiveness, without losing out on the premium forged feel, the Lyra (£1,494) is a great option. Built for easy launch, control and forgiveness, it’s the ‘big brother’ to the Mizar Pro. It has a larger head profile and more offset, improving playability.
It’s the only iron to use Dual Weight Bars. This allows swing weight, stability and launch to be fine-tuned. The head weights can be reduced by up to 7 grams per club. This makes it ideal for senior, junior or female golfers who want a lighter setup.
Despite performing like a game improvement iron, the iron is still said to have a thin topline and refined shaping. It’s also available in a DLC Black finish.
Alcor Wedges
Finishing off the range are the new Alcor X and Alcor Tour wedges. These are forged wedges, to allow for the same soft feel that you get from their irons.
The Alcor X wedges (£249) are forged from a single piece of premium steel. They feature a strategically positioned tungsten weight bar in the toe, as well as weight that has been removed from the sole. This raises the head’s CG, for a more controlled or penetrating ball flight on full shots. It also helps to enhance spin rates, without the face closing at impact.
Vega have also included refined sole grinds to offer versatility from tight lies, sand and rough. Like the Lyra irons, they are available in both satin chrome and DLC black.
The Alcor Tour (£279) is the second generation of this wedge. It has an interchangeable sole plate, which the brand says is an industry first. It’s available with low, mid and high bounce sole plates depending on different course conditions.
These sole plates are made from titanium, which can save 40g compared to a steel sole. This raises the CG in the head, helping to produce lower launching and higher spinning wedges.
More weight is placed at the toe, making the wedge easier to square up. The face has a reverse CNC spin milling, to maximise stopping power.
