NEW MACGREGOR IRON AND WEDGES

[MT-PRO]

Mike,

 

Just e-mail me your phone # to [email protected] and I'll call you back so we can talk things through.

 

Thanks, Reid.

Mr. Gorman,

 

Thank you for chiming in in regards to the outstanding response that your new products are getting.

 

I remember a few years back when I ordered a set of custon 1025M's and they were at the time the best iron I had played. I was very excited when your company picked up Bobby Grace to join your team, and must say that the New Generation Fat Lady was a tremendous product, which unfortunately can be picked up for mere pennies today.

 

This new line looks to be exciting and promising to get Mac back in the game and to have a new strategy to concentrate on what made Mac golf clubs so great. I think that the DW wedges and the cavity backs are true winners for your company, and I cannot wait to see the other woods and Game Improvement irons.

 

Also, when you post more, as you are now a great and welcome addition to the board, please show us the pictures of the DW Gunmetal wedges!

 

All the Best, and it would be great to hear from the Immortal Don White as well as Bobby Grace on this board!

 

Thanks Mr. Gorman!

 

Matt

And someone on this site a few months back said that McGregor was pulling out of the American Market? Those are sweet! My bro-in-law is on staff with them. He will be getting a call from his older brother and I for a smokin' deal on those babies! Those could be frikin' laser beams, yah baby!

[phelps22]

All I have to say is GREAT JOB! I cannot wait to replace my PMB's and pick up some of those wedges.

huge respect for Macgregor now after seeing the President posting on here in response. With a guy like that in charge the only way is up for the company.

[TM golf guy]

WOW! Those are the best looking sticks they have made in a while!

Well said. More companies need Presidents that are in touch with the actual consumer instead of just "guessing" or assuming what they want. I played the M675s for a while and thought that was a great iron, but these new offerings are superb!

[Spin Doctor]

At this time these products are RH only, but if we get a good early response (orders!) we'll invest in some LH tooling.

 

OK - you right handed guys get busy ordering so us lefties get a shot at them too...I WANT.

hey all:WOW those irons and wedges look sweet.What happened with barry shneider and macgregor golf didn't know that he's no longer with them?Thanks for the pics and info ;)

[slicktry]

I think my PMB Tours have competition... ;) Best looking cavity backs I have ever seen.

 

God Bless

beautiful cb's. is it me or do the hosels seem longer than standard?

[Milo]

Looks like Mac's back.

 

Classy clubs; switched on, tuned in President. Hope it goes well.

[oregongolf]

kind of a throwback aren't they?

 

they look nice, hopefully they do well!

[BD57]

Yep.

 

Eons ago, MacGregor had two basic "premium" lines - Tommy Armour and MT's. The "Flying MT" that you're seeing in the photos was on their irons at least as far back as the 50's - my first full set of clubs was a used set of "Louise Suggs" MT's (I was 12).

 

In the 60's (I' think) The "MT" label faded away in favor of the "DX Tourney" - I have no idea what "DX" stood for. Sometimes, the only real difference between the Armours & the Tourneys was the packaging - for example, both Armour & Tourney irons had a 'diamond back' muscle at one time or another.

 

As I recall it, the "Armour" line became a "custom order" line in the late 60's, after the introduction of "VIP's by Nicklaus". The MT line started mutating - they came out with a "split level" sole - the sole started out 'normal' and then it 'stepped down'. For those who didn't like the look, they also made MT's with a normal sole.

 

MacGregor eventually made a bunch of mistakes - giving up its rights to the Armour name; diluting the Nicklaus brand by marketing "Golden Bear" clubs at K-Mart & the like, etc.; getting themselves so tied to Jack in their marketing that his eventual decline as a tour player left the brand selling nostalgia.

 

BTW - that muscle back looks a bit like something Arnold Palmer's golf company put out eons ago.

I wonder if the red MT on the toe is a nod towards the Tiger blade - Tiger has his logo in red on the toe of his Nikes!!!

[Konklifer]

I don't think so. Even if it was, the TW is stamped in the center now.

[Konklifer]

Are the pics of the PRO-M exclusive to this site? If not they've already been lifted and posted on another. Gotta watermark these guys.

[itsaboutfeel]

Wow,

 

I had all but given up on Mac! My old PCB tours are worn out and I have had to go elsewhere. These definitely deserve a serious look.

 

Ciao

[easyyy]

Here is the new wedge...

 

[shift627]

Wow!!! Now they look sweet...

 

Might have found a set to replace my PCB's

 

I was thinking the Exact same thing!!! My God are those nice ;)

[cubfanbob]

> MacG had something going with the updated Eye O Matic

 

As you can see from my signature, I agree! ;)

 

Reid - thanks for stopping by with some very good news. Looking forward to hearing more from you, and seeing more great products from MacGregor!

[Titleist87]

Just received an email form Mr. Gorman. I asked if a combo set will be available and it will. How cool is that? And the President of the company responding! I know what my next set of irons will be. They will go along with my copper face Tourney irons.

[19th_Hole]

I wish this was Hogan having the big turn around

[Riuzzi]

GREAT looking irons...WOW!! Welcome back MacGregor! ;)

 

Mr. Gorman, thanks so much for chiming in. Truly an honour to have you on here with us. Who will be doing the forging of the irons? I personally can't wait to see the rest of the new line-up.

[euros]

I currently play a set of M675s but also own a tour bladed set of M675 and a M685(3+4)/M675(5-Pw) combo set and love them(did i say i like the M675s ;)).

 

cant wait to try the CBs as they look amazing

[hoganboy]

I wish this was Hogan having the big turn around

 

Was sitting here reading the post thinking the same thing.

 

Great to see MacGregor going back to their roots. One of the greatest equipment companies there has been. The irons look superb and great to see the president taking time out to post and answer queries on here. Top Class.

Great to see Macgregor making some serious players irons again, but in my world, they will NOT be on top of my wish list for several reasons:

 

1. Don't like shiny chrome at all

2. Why 1025 carbon steel and not 1020 carbon steel ?

3. PW looks a bit too round for my taste

 

Would like to know WHO forged them and who did the finish on them.

[GOLF FTW]

Definitely one of the best looking clubs I've ever seen. I love this way better than the mcdonalds color scheme clubs that have been coming out on the market.

 

 

GREAT CLUBS I LOVE THEM!

[freddiec]

Awesome looking irons. I played some of my best golf growing up with MT Irons and woods (circa mid 1980s). It would be cool to go back to those roots. I really like the looks of those MT cavity backs. I can't wait to get a good look at those.

Will 1025 vs 1020 make that big a difference? Mizuno uses 1025 and they are the best feeling irons I've ever hit. I agree the short iron is a little rounded for my tastes but I'll pass judgement after I see them.
