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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
