i'd like to know.|||I have 4 sets of 1025M's...maybe the best club ever made. One of the last "cold-forged" clubs out there. I just bought a set of forged cavity back, MT's, no offset. getting them reshafted as we speak.
My brother and many buddies play macgreagor irons, made after 2002. Golfsmith, just bought them out and have some outstanding buys on them.
Highly reecommend!!!|||MG golf equipment has evolved into a mass market manufacturer. In the 1960's and 70's the forged blades they made were in the top three for quality of craftsmanship, design and playability. Jack Nicklaus is the most well known professional player to use MG forged blades. Greg Norman also was a staff player with MG. At that time MG was a vertically integrated manufacturer and the heads were forged in Memphis and Chicago. Some of the raw forgings were finished in Tennessee. The forged blade models VIP and Muirfield to this day are some of the best blades you can play. Their persimmmon woods were also in the top three and are still collector items world wide. Eye-O-Matic woods are probably a model you may have heard of.
The clubs MG maekets now are no where near the playability of the former ers where MG did the best work. MG irons are now made off shore and the quality of the clubs, the retained value and tradition have gone by the wayside. Very little innovation is in the new designs. The cavity back irons don't even hit my personal radar screen as top level equipment. Ping cavity irons put MG clubs way back in the ratings for several elements. MG has been bounced around for years and is now just another "brand" which falls in the assortment of clubs sold by Golf Smith. The entire line of MG branded clubs are middle of the road at best and you would be better served being properly fitted and configure you irons to include hybrids for the long irons. I play Muirfield irons once in a while and the VIP's struck center are a treat to play with when my game is right. But that's forged blades which still have the original leather wrapped grips.
I suggest you try a few other brands before you buy MG's. Years ago the forged blades were the best, now they are also rans.
Tidbit: Nicklaus always played with leather grips which included a gold trim in the wrap. MG also made balls in Elyria, Ohio.|||Years ago, I was talked into getting a set of Mac Gregor Jack Nicklaus blades after a set of Wilson Woods and Irons which I sent back via Amtrak conveniently disappeared. At the time I had a very consistent golf swing so the clubs suited my purpose . Others have tried them and found them very hard to hit consistently well.
