I've got an update. 5 weeks ago I compared the MT OS to Taylormade and Nickent. Since then I also compared them with Adams, Callaway X-18 (didn't like) and Ping G-10. Ended up buying the Macgregors w/ 1" long graphite shafts, 2 degrees upright. I've only played golf once since then, but I love them! I'm having troubles overshooting the green, have to recalibrate everything. Plus, they are accurate. If I skull it or something there's nothing the club can do, but if it's hit on the face, the ball goes straight and long.

Well after another 18 holes, and numerous range balls, the MacGregor MT 460 10.5 "R" flex DVS Aldila shaft, though a bit longer when swung perfectly has been placed in the closet until my swing speed slows down some. The 9.5 Stiff DVS just performs better under "the pressure" of the actual round of golf. These are the longest and best feeling clubs I've hit since the advent of metal woods back in the 80's.
Go grab one off Ebay and give it a chance. I think you will like them.

Just bought the MT mids and love them!! I owned CW X-20's but fell in love with the look and feel of the MT's and expect to shave a point or 2 off my handicap with then as well.
Anyone looking for a classic look with some game improvment tech built in should look at these! Norman won't disappoint you!

I've been playing golf for 40 years, and back in the days always used MacGregor clubs. Last summer I purchased a set of V-Foil Macgregor Irons 585's and these are the best irons I have hit in years. Great forged feel, very forgiving, and long. Now I've ventured into the MacGregor MT line of "woods".
Purchasing two 460 CC drivers with the Aldila DVS shafts. I tried to purchase that shaft alone off ebay, and lost out at $175 twice. The 9.5 (S) and the 10.5 (R) arrived together and I headed to the range. Both were awesome to start and while I was secretly hoping the R would go in the closet for another year or two, when I swung a bit more smoothly, it added 10mph ball speed than the S which is a bit easier to hit straight each time. At 57 I'm trying to tone the tee shot down just a bit. The MT 3 wood 15* arrived next, and last Thursday I played my first round with them. I reached places in the middle of the fairway that my brand new Ping G10 "R" had not reached. The overall feel and playability of the MT is (for me anyway) heads above any driver I have tried or played in the past. My playing partners used words such as, "you hit that one out there with the big boys Mark,".
I've orded the Pro Mt 60*LW to replace a Taylor made that has served me well.
My swing speed is normally 96-104. The R gets up to 110 a few times. Way to go MacGregor

I'm finally trying to learn the game after owning but seldom playing an old set of Ping Zing2 knockoffs. Went to a free swing analysis/fitting at the local shop to see if a new set of clubs might help. I compared my 6-iron to the Macgregor MT OS, Nickent 3DX, and Taylormade r7 CGB Max. The Nickents and the TM's added 20 yards according to the machine. The MT OS added almost 40 yards!! I didn't believe it was possible for clubs to make that much difference (isn't it all marketing hype?), but went back and forth between the clubs several times. Accuracy was much better as well. I'm sure much of it is in the shaft, they were all graphite.

Unless you like flash, the Macgregors are much better looking to boot. The sale lasts until the end of the month. Maybe that swing analysis wasn't so free...

MacGregor really missed the mark by not making the majority of these great looking products available for lefties

Easily the best looking irons released this year, nothing even comes close, not even my Mizuno's...

Very excited to see how they perform and I'm hoping they offer the Pro-C in LH.

I have a set of the macgregor pro forged mt tourney irons. I bought these in 2001, & have not been interested in any other irons. I might try the new MT mix set. I am always looking for a new driver & am going to give the new Mac a try against the 907D2.

I wasn't aware that MacGregor had revamped their line when I saw these in my "local" golf shop this weekend. I was very impressed with the look of the new irons; they reminded me of the old Jack Nicklaus Muirfield line of old. The irons actually look like something I would actually put in my bag, especially since you can order a blended set.
