MacGregor V-Foil 1025CM Mixed Set

Summary:
Bought a used set for cheap on e-Bay. The previous owner owns a golf shop and reshafted his set with DG S-300, which increased the swingweight to D-4. I prefer a heavier swingweight for feel...it is easier for me to release. Basically, I "stole" the set.

These are great irons. A good swing results in a perfect boring trajectory, and they are easy to hit high or low. Knock-down and punch shots travel low and true. You can work the ball with either the cavity backs or the blades, although it is obviously easier with the blades.

They set up nicely, too. It will take a while to get the distances down with a new set, and I imagine one or two clubs will have to be adjusted for the loft. The PW is a little too strong (goes too far) for my liking, but that can be resolved by shortening the shaft (it was the only club that swingweighted too high, anyway).

Negatives? These are not for people who can't get through the ball. although you can pick the ball clean and hit it high with little loss of distance.

I am very pleased with this set, bought primarily because nobody else bid on them (got them cheap) and because they had the shaft I use.

Summary:
At this point this review will only serve those persons that will buy this set of irons in used condition, or those of you who are lucky enough to find a new set that may still out there. MacGregor discontinued these irons last year. It is a shame really, since these irons are not only excellent to play with, they are truly the best looking irons to come to the market in years. With a sleek look that is reminiscent of the classic irons of years gone by, these clubs have been described as more like jewelry than sports equipment. As you no doubt are aware, in golf the look of a club, if you like it, helps to impart confidence. In spite of the fact that the set is forged (a thing that scares many mid-handicap players away), the MacGregor 1025CM’s are incredibly playable. Because the pitching wedge through seven iron are muscle-back blades, they impart something almost lost in most golf irons these days, feedback. The feedback is not harsh, however, it is just enough to let you know a solid strike from one not so solid. I have found that even on those thinned shots where the feedback is evident, there is little, or no loss of distance and direction, just a lower trajectory. Solid shots are rewarded with no feeling at all, or what some have referred to as a”buttery” feeling. The six through three irons are cavity-backs, completing the mixed set. Again these cavity-backs have a luxurious look. The other day a golf partner picked up my six iron and commented, “These are nice!”. The cavity-backs are easy to hit. They fly long and straight with a high trajectory that helps stop longer shots, something that really helps control distances. My set originally came with rifle shafts, but I had them changed to DG S300's per launch monitor results. As with anything else in golf, these irons should be correctly fitted for your swing. I wish every set of golf irons would look and preform like these. Alas, even MacGregor has gone away from its classic look....again...opting for a larger blade with a satin finish as a replacement. Oh well, finally I can say something that has been a long time in coming. I see no reason to change my irons in the foreseeable future.

Summary:
Can't say enough for this set of Irons. Have bought and sold more sets than I can count. These are the best feeling, most forgiving, set of irons I've ever places in my hands. Even the blades are easy to hit. These are as close to perfect as a set of irons can get. Got them for $399 at Edwin Watts.

Customer Service:

Summary:
I bought these irons abouts 8 months ago and find that they are the best irons I have yet to play. I switched to these from the Cleveland TA1's. I think that the long irons in the MacGregors are very solid and accurate and with the 7-PW you can just attack every pin. I have went from a 8 down to a 3 handicap in 8 months and I plan on being scratch in just a few more. I have played the MP-32's and many other blade and cavity back irons and find these to be the best fit from tee to green. If you decide to get a set of these I must say that the shot dispersion with the Rifle shaft is alot tighter that the DG S300. The Rifle shaft from club to club seems to be alot more controllable than other shafts and the trajectory is very consistent as well.
