MacGregor Golf Club Reviews

By Lyle@Nymble

Specs

MacGregor Golf has revitalized itself over the past several years with a brand new image and a new line of products including the perimeter-weighted MT Pro-C forged irons. A company with a great, long history, MacGregor has taken a new direction with the MT Pro-C irons, building a perimeter-weighted, forged, high-performance club that is quite easy to hit. This new club has a classic design, slim topline and petite clubhead attractive to skilled players, plus the high technology embraced by average amateurs. Available in a set of 8 irons from 3 through pitching wedge, these clubs have the solid feel and direct feedback favored by high-level players.

Perks

For generations, forged irons were only available in difficult-to-hit blade or muscle back designs with small sweet spots. MacGregor has taken a shot at manufacturing a club with the feel of forged steel and the forgiveness of perimeter weighting. The MT Pro-C offers that elusive combination attractive to everyone from the tour player to the mid-level amateur.

Sacrifices

Forged clubs, even perimeter-weighted forged clubs, provide all the feedback on missed hits any player needs to make adjustments during a round. But with that feedback, the player gives up the ability to pull off a shot that is mis-hit. While this club is perfect for the mid- to high-level amateur, higher-handicap players might be better served by more of a game-improvement iron.

Bottom Line

The MT Pro-C is an outstanding forged club for the low- to mid-handicap player and a fantastic step deeper into the mainstream market for MacGregor.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Using Frequency to Test the Flex of Your Shafts
by Jeff Jackson
What's the flex of your shafts? At one time, a golfer could safely answer that his or her shafts were stiff, regular or ladies flex. That simply isn't the case any longer. Most manufacturers have their own method of shaft measurement. What this means is that one company's "R" flex shaft may actually be softer than another's "A" or even "L" flex. How, then, can a golfer select the appropriate shaft if no manufacturing standard exists? In a word: frequency.
