I used to work at MacGregor in the late 60s until the mid 70s, during my high school and college years, when they were located in Cincinnati. We made great clubs back then…the VIPs, Tommy Armour Silver Scots, Tourney Customs, MTs, DXs, and persimmon woods, especially the deep face George Bayer model. I see the current MacGregor iron offering that will be tested is an updated version of one of their best selling vintage models, the MT wingback. It will be interesting to see what the feedback is after testing, because when I worked at MacGregor the lie angles were flatter and lofts were weaker. That said, I know I’ll get flack for saying this, but today’s “standard” club offerings being upright promote an over the top downswing, making it more difficult to swing from the inside on the downswing. Don’t get me wrong…you can play that way and have success, but I have my doubts it’s consistent.

I see the McGregor iron testing that is being offered, how great to see that brand back. I'm 61 and remember as a kid I has MacGregor irons and Northwestern woods (when woods were wood!) I'm on the shelf for the rest of the season due to shoulder surgery, however, I hope all the testers have a great time with these clubs and find them as good as the current popular brands' clubs. Have fun.
