Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: MacGregor V-Foil 1025C
Summary: I bought these irons on ebay a few weeks ago for $150. They couldn't be more worth it. I've been golfing for 20 years and shoot in the low 80s. Over the years I've played with many different irons, from Ping Zings and Ping Eye 2s to Titleist DCI 962s, Callaway X-16s and Mizuno MP-30s. In a nutshell, the MacGregor V-Foils are the best clubs I've ever hit. They're solid, perfectly weighted and insanely forgiving for a forged club. The perimeter weighting on these clubs makes it so easy to launch the ball on line you'll think you're ready to make a run at the club championship.
Immediately prior to getting the MacGregors, I played with the Mizuno MP-30s. While a nice club, they didn't provide me nearly the distance of the V-Foils. My MP-30 7-iron was going 150 yards, while I was lucky to get 170 out of the 5-iron. Simply, I thought there was something wrong with my swing. But since buying the MacGregors I've discovered there is nothing wrong with my swing: My V-Foil 9-iron goes 150; the 7-iron goes 170, and the 5-iron goes 200, all on a consistent basis.
Anyway, suffice to say, the V-Foil 1025Cs are GREAT clubs, at least in my opinion. I imagine I'll be playing them for years.
Customer Service: Haven't had a chance to use it. But I've heard it's very good.

Summary: A quality set of forgings with a classic look that purists enjoy. I read a review in a golf magazine which said that these clubs would be suitable for all handicap levels. Don't be fooled, whilst they are quite forgiving I would say they are better suited to low (10 or below) handicapers. The clubs offer superb feel and the smaller heads allow for shot shaping should you feel the urge to do so. Consistent ball strikers will love the feel of a well struck shot off of these clubs. Mine are fitted with the Precision Rifle 5.0 shafts. I tend to de-loft but the shafts enable me to float shots into the green with no trouble. The clubs look good, play very well and clean up like new after every round. A great buy if you can find them.
Customer Service: Never had the need to contact.
Similar Products Used: Second set of clubs are Mizuno MX23's. They are more forgiving and give half a club more of extra distance. However, they have a larger head and are not as easy to shape shots with. Still a good set of clubs though!

Summary: Forgiving does not go with forged, or so I was told. I wanted to try the feel of forged irons when my uncle decided it was time to go back to cast. So I inhereted the MacGregor 1025C's that he purchased. What an amazing experience. Shot shaping is a breeze, in any direction. Sweet spot hits feel like cutting through air, and off-center hits don't damage your hands nor do they cost you much in the way of yardage. These clubs are definitely low 2 mid cappers (repeatedly must hit close to center every time) but with their muscleback design allow a higher capper to work on their game without getting killed by their buddies on the course. The best thing about these clubs is that they clean up awesome. Wash them in the sink and I guarantee you every time they will make you think you got new irons all over again. A beautiful set that most people would not think about. They should.
Customer Service: Never needed them. I do all repairs on my own gear (and so far have not had to do a thing except change grips each season).

Summary: I recently puchased these on E-bay at great price. I have to say, they are great clubs for a low to mid-hadicapper. I have been practicing at working the ball and these beauties do it very well for a cavity back. The feel they have is very soft even by forged standards.Preety forgiving clubs for forged,as well.
I am someone who is torn between hitting the super forgiving cavity backs or going with something like these. I've hit the Big Bertha's,Fusions,Slingshots,mx-23 and many others. The winners in the big cavity backs is the Macgregor M455's and in the mid-handicap class would be the Adams Gt ultimate(very easy to hit for small heads) and the Mac.1025c's.
Back to the 1025c-these clubs are flat fun to hit and if you are someone who is willing be patient and learn how to hit a smaller head like these,they will be very rewarding in the long run. They give great feedback,have good trajectory and are very playable. I chose the stiff flex shaft because the shafts are super light and I was looking for max control.They have worked out fine.
High handicappers could hit them but might be better served with something more forgiving until they get a solid swing. I will alternate between the M455's and these on the course to see how they fare. The M455 irons are awesome in the forgiveness department and are FORGED too.Macgregor is back and deserve to be.
