Macgregor Vfoil VIP?

[will54]

Just saw a set at a local sporting goods store for $100 with original shafts and the grips need to be replaced. The heads are in good shape (guessing they haven't been used in a while)and as far as loft and lie I have no idea though I would make sure they are not to messed up before buying.

So if I have to spend about $65 for grips (tour wrap installed) and maybe a bit more to get them bent would these be worth the money? Oh yeah anybody hit these before and if so what is the feel comparable to and do they have any forgiveness at all?

Also I am talking about the 1025 M's

I have a VIP wedge and it's fantastic, but not sure if the irons would be ~ $180 worth of fantastic.

I want an older set of blades for practice and when my swing is grooved but if I can't talk them down to $75 I think I'll just get a set of Mizuno MP 32 or 33 on Ebay. Than maybe my swing will be ready for a new set of blades by next fall so I can hopefully get a set of MP 69.

Take a picture - what condition are they in?

If they're mint, get them. Top MacGregor forged irons newer than ~ 1975 are worth every penny if they're in decent shape. You very well could have those irons for a lifetime and they'd make every other set of blades feel dead in comparison. Then again you might not like them at all - it's all personal.

The condition is not really the normal wear and tear you expect on an older set of forged 1025 steel irons. In fact they look like they were stored for a long time and the grips dried out. Heck even the shaft bands are on there,TT DG by the way.

The grooves on the PW,9 and 7 are worn with the chrome wore off though not real bad, the 8,6 and 5 are moderately used and the 3 and 4 look new. The back of the heads are good with only minor scuffs on the sole. The hosels are all loose and some are chipped, though the grips are a bit better than I thought. I was really considering them but I was there for 30 min looking over each iron and a sales rep walked by me 4-5 times and never asked if I needed help which is unusual since they are usually a nuisance, so I walked out and figured the next guy can get the write up if I do decide to buy them.

I have a set and they are really good clubs, but not particularly forgiving. A modern club with a very classic / traditional look.
