SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted June 22, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted June 22, 2011 Here are some images of the new MacGregor 2011 Tourney Iron. It is scheduled for a Fall 2011 release. The Finish is a Black PVD Chrome. RATE THESE IRONS 1-10 #TruthDigest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saternus Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They look like a chunkier Cobra S3. It does seem like the black does a fair job of making them look better than they really should. Not my cup of tea, but I'd say...6.5/10. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortwein Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The pictures don't do them justice. I give them a 10 but I'm bias. I will also be looking to bag these irons once they hit stores and I can get myself a complete set of them. Golfsmith - Proprietary Graphic Designer What's in my Bag?

SydneyxB Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I like the color combination. I agree, too chunky, but I like blades anyways! MacGregor always has very simple and clean designs and I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted June 22, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted June 22, 2011 As someone who plays a larger iron, I like them. The back badge gives me a bit of the 09 Burner vibe. Slap some DG S300's in 'em and send them this way Visual 9/10 for me.

mrhall Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I am not sure how golfsmith have done it...... they have taken a brand who created some of the most beautiful clubs and created a total spade. How hard would it have been for them to take a look at the old VIP line and create something beautiful..... instead they give us this. Thanks a bunch another soulless spade.

HillWilliam Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Not a bad looking club. Everyone is welcome to their opinion, but the Tourney is better looking than a lot of the over styled clubs from Callaway or TM. Even though I'm not a black finish fan, I think they're ok looking for a game improvement club. The thicker top line serves that market. I really like the VIP and hope MacGregor can gain a foothold in the market. The drivers they've put out so far were uninspiring but the VIP is solid and the Tourney will hold some appeal for GI fans.

ortiz2161996 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Looks like a cross between the TA5 and Burner 2.0. Not bad but if they could have gone gunmetal instead, it would have looked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarry Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I like them, I play 2010 Burners, and they do remind me a bit of the Taylor Made clubs, which isn't a bad thing. John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 These look good to my eyes but I am reluctant about the durability of the color and am wondering how they would look after some use. They are calling it black chrome. Is the color built into the metal or some surface application ? Black shows wear and use so easily that these might not look that good at the end of a round or two. The head shape looks good to me, if seemingly a bit undersized. Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozcycle Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 What's not to like? I currently game the Callaway X24 Hot irons w/gahite shafts. The dark finish is scratching off, but i did not buy them for the finish, i bought them for the extra control and they work. These are very appealing to the mid handicapper wanting to get better.

Dave Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 75g steel shaft? They must be targeting the older bracket. Wonder how many 7 iron shot I can hit until I bend a shaft? I have a revolving WITB policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunmetal Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 They must be targeting the older bracket. Wonder how many 7 iron shot I can hit until I bend a shaft? It's certainly clear that Golfsmith has fully taken over. They don't look bad at all, but certainly not the classic MacGregor I like. As a clubmaker, I really wish they would make these available as components to offer serious customization. As they stand right now, nothing really sets them apart from anything...
