		<description>:mrgreen: To Robbie &amp; WF Golfer:  Have had only 1 hole in one (Jan1, 1994) and have had 2 with my new MacGregor Pro-M&#039;s. One @ Pine Dunes in Frankston, Texas in July and had another last week @ my home course &quot;The Cascades in Tyler, Texas which I came close with 2 of the other par 3&#039;s (inches)that day and almost eagled a par 4 (Long and ridiculous pin placement) with the 3 iron.  

I know that it&#039;s not the arrow but the indian and I have been beating alot of balls this summer but these irons are sneeky forgiving and I have confidence with what I&#039;m holding in my hand. My golf pro, who happens to be the same age as me, looked @ them when I showed- up to practice and said with abit of a smirk....&quot;God Luck&quot; and walked off.  They are only interested in selling you what they have in their pro- shop which happens to be Callaway, Taylor Made, Nike and Cobra.

Highly reccomend the Pro- M&#039;s if you want a clean, (and sexy) traditional style muscle back iron.








[quote comment=&quot;18197&quot;][quote comment=&quot;16786&quot;]Paul: You&#039;ve asked the $64k question. I bought my Pro M blades in  July 2008 (post above) from Hillandale Golf in Durham, NC (Google them), after whacking a 6-iron demo club at their range. Have yet to see another set anywhere, including golf trips to FL, OH and Scotland (the Scots went bananas over the clubs). Read at time of purchase that Greg Norman had bought the company intending to restore to their historic prominence. Read last week that Golfsmith acquired the company. So, I have no answer for you, but a suggestion to persevere, as they are exceptionally well designed and of top quality. Sorry I can&#039;t be more helpful.[/quote]

Robbie,

I picked  an MT OS 6-iron w/ stiff graphite shaft (older model) out of a range bin in Blacksburg, VA. and could not believe how easy and responsive it was to hit. I live in Wake Forest and googled for a location where they are sold nearby and Hillandale did come up. On your mention, I will give them a call to make sure some are at least on hand to try. After hacking it around Pinehurst #4 the other day, with my &quot;custom&quot; Mizuno&#039;s, that are feeling to me like a set of garden tools, I am on a mission to track those mt&#039;s down and determine if that happy day at the range was real or just a fluke! Thanks. Tom in NC.[/quote]</description>

		<description>Tom in NC:
Stopped at Golfsmith yesterday on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. Selling new sets of MacGregor MT Blades, Blade/Cavity combo sets and Cavity Back irons for +/-$399/set.
Also, had a (barely) used set 4-PW of Blade/Cavity for $119.00 in chrome finish (not a misprint: $119.00), but shafts appear to be X, as we&#039;re really stiff.

    Made a mistake leaving a reply (used Robbie).  Bought a used set (2008 models) Pro-m&#039;s for $260.00 Excited to put them in my hands.  I negotiated with my wife (some may say I was begging).  If you are ever in the Dallas to Shreveport to Houston area, Please let me know. I&#039;m in the phone book in Henderson, Texas.  

Question- Do you think the 08 grind is better than the 09 grind? And what swing weight did your pro-m&#039;s come in at?
I have TT Dynamic Gold (stiff) 400&#039;s in the set I bought.
I&#039;m hoping that they are @least D4 to D6.</description>

		<description>Robbie
     Just bought a used set of 2008 Mt pro-m&#039;s on ebay.  Can&#039;t waite to put them in my hands. Somebody else bidding on them and we went from $130. to $260 before it was all said and done.  Starting to look @ old MacGregor products especially irons and putters for my new retirement plan. 

 If you are ever in the Dallas to Shreveport to Houston area, try to contact me to play. 

I think it would be interesting to have some kind of golf tourney where the players play with the old, scottish clubs, kilts and sip scotch with no golf carts and tell lies after the round.</description>

		<description>pauleasttexas:
Good luck with them both (Pro Ms and wife). You may have a collector&#039;s item on your hands (Clubs, not wife; although she may be a collector&#039;s item as well). Link below makes it sound iffy (to me) as to whether or not we&#039;ll ever see the real MacGregor again. Pity, if so.

		<description>to: JP &amp; Robbie:

 I have found the MT Pro-M&#039;s on Ebay ($399.00) .  Just need to justify the need and the want rather than the want and the need to my other half.   I will play in the Texas State Open (Pro-Am) in Tyler this year and caddy as well as provide all the valet parking for the players and sponsors.

I hope to show some of these young pros what a great looking iron MacGregor has made.  They (MacGregor) just needs to get out to the smaller tours with the up and coming players and put it in their hands.  Hell... send me a demo set and I will show for them and then send back. 

THE CLUB WILL SPEAK FOR ITSELF!!!</description>

		<description>Paul,

You&#039;re not alone, although I&#039;m in far West Texas.  I play the 1025CM set with Rifle shafts.  Very soft and easy to hit, and durable.  I&#039;m actually more comfortable with the blades than the cavity backs.

If you search on Ebay, you can find several sets of the new Pro irons from reputable sellers for around $300.00.  That&#039;s a steal.  Comparable irons from Mizuno and Nike are going for $450.00 or so.</description>

		<description>I remember a very famous advert from the 40&#039;s(?) showing a tramp (hobo) sitting under a tree, stinking dirty, with flies buzzing round his head, writing to a soap company &quot;Since Using Your Soap, I have Used No Other.....&quot;.
I bought a set of MacGregor MTs in Miami 1972, and....you can guess the rest! Wouldn&#039;t change them for the world - love them. 
Glad to see McG&#039;s making a &#039;comeback&#039;, but they don&#039;t seem to sell them down-under. 
Pity; great clubs.</description>

		<description>Paul: You&#039;ve asked the $64k question. I bought my Pro M blades in  July 2008 (post above) from Hillandale Golf in Durham, NC (Google them), after whacking a 6-iron demo club at their range. Have yet to see another set anywhere, including golf trips to FL, OH and Scotland (the Scots went bananas over the clubs). Read at time of purchase that Greg Norman had bought the company intending to restore to their historic prominence. Read last week that Golfsmith acquired the company. So, I have no answer for you, but a suggestion to persevere, as they are exceptionally well designed and of top quality. Sorry I can&#039;t be more helpful.</description>
