[@JacksonHurdles]

LOVE the format of only irons for an iron review. Also a great decision to hit different irons off the tee to have different clubs for approach shots.

[@victorebalasoto3523]

I used to carry a set of MacGregor musclebacks. What a way to make a comeback!

[@starks1974]

Love these hidden gems of clubs as you are not seeing any reviews on the other channels. Can't wait to see the head-to-heads!

[@BLU4579]

I'm still using a set of MacTec irons, they just fell familiar.

[@LetsPlayThru]

It’s been a blast trying out all these niche offerings.

[@AZstu324]

Hey Gabe, great video as always and it's great to see McGregor making another run. Just FYI if those marks that you saw on the back end of the club are consistent throughout the set it might just be where they adjusted them at the build shop to make sure they met the specs before they sent them out. That mark is where they are seated in the adjustment saddle. Every club set that I have that I've built I have to have adjusted just a little bit and those marks are on all of my clubs. 1020c is going to be on the softer side of the forged alloys that companies will use so those marks will be unavoidable. I would actually count that as a positive for their quality control being that they didn't just glue them up straight from the factory and send them out.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Oh, that’s very interesting. My set came stock I think. But maybe they are checking the lofts before they leave?

[@AZstu324]

@@LetsPlayThru that's my guess. But again it's just a speculation. If you see the same mark in the same spot on more than 1 club that's definitely a possibility. Heads will always come out of spec from the foundry to some degree +/- in both loft and lie. Most companies just glue them up and send them out. That's why it's always good to check when you get a new set.. or any set for that matter.

[@leonardblush2557]

Fabulous review.. Would love to see you try the MACSPD hollow-bodied irons, too, if for no other reason than to see if they look as nice in your hands as they do in the pictures on the website. BTW, showing a little bit of the ol' running back shake and bake after that first birdie putt...😆

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Yes! I wanna see the MT-86 irons. They are beautiful.

[@bernjf]

Can't wait for the comparison video! They look great!

[@commonman317]

I haven't been able to play much golf this year. So, these videos are so much fun to watch and enjoy. Also, I'm really surprised at the quality of these new MacGregor clubs. Seems like they came out of nowhere, and are really trying to get some attention. Very nice clubs.

[@LetsPlayThru]

A great option for sure.

[@snaphookright4767]

Had a set of MacGregor VIP V-Foil 1025c irons. One the best irons I have ever had. Gorgeous and soft. To this day I regret letting them go.

[@richardblock5186]

I played Macgregor blades when I was young in the 1950's and early 60s. My father handed them down to me. I always like the brand. I am a retired doctor and PGA professional. I was a staff member for Callaway, but I am definitely in the market for players distance irons.

[@kileypaet8221]

I would like to see all the old school brands make a comeback. They seem to be trying. I hope they succeed.

[@LetsPlayThru]

They have had a ton of turmoil over the years. Agree, hopefully they are back for a long while.

[@allenparker2690]

Great as always Sir. Awesome to see you give McGregor a shot (pun intended lol). Would love to see the MacTec driver also Sir. God Bless

[@Paul-cm7ie]

Great to watch as you got closer to the end and shots came together. Happy to see MacGregor getting out there again with a quality product.

[@charlesharvey9115]

I hope they comeback ,always was a good co.

[@gripitripitchipit]

Great review Gabe. I can tell you I have become a fanboy of the MacGregor clubs. A while back, I did the test, of the 7 iron with the MT86 Pro and MT86 Oversize versions that you can do for a month and then return to them for credit. I was very impressed with the clubs, especially for the value price they are at. In fact, if I had not just rebuilt my current clubs with my new shafts I would be getting a set and putting them in the bag. I also really like the Mizuno irons and if the price is not an issue I personally don't feel like you can get a better iron than the Mizuno Pro series clubs but I feel these are just about as good but at a much better price point. I just bought the MacGregor wedges and put the 52, 56, and 60 in the bag replacing my mixed set of Wilson and Cleveland wedges. I have always loved my Cleveland wedge but I wanted to get a matching set and these are very good for the price. Glad you got a chance to try these irons and review them. I think they will make a resurgence when more people get a chance to hit these because you really can't beat the price for what you get.

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Thank you for this I’ve been looking at those MT-86 pros and I can’t find one decent review on them. I really want a set.

[@amalfi460]

Love the iron only review video format!

[@wessims3412]

[@slave0102]

Great vid Gabe. Your game is getting tight. It’s refreshing to watch. Keep them coming.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thank you Tom

[@BLU4579]

Wow, my very first set were MacGregors, in a box! Drivers, woods, irons, and pitching wedge with the bag and head covers! Playing golf for the first time ever on my high school varsity golf team in 1995! Of course I have a par of white 'spiked' MacGregor gold shoes and gloves, using my employee discount 😂 at Super KMart. I currently swing a set of MacTec irons, more sentimental than an ability to purchase a newer full set of irons.

[@LetsPlayThru]

That’s super cool. Love hearing the stories.

[@nate19]

Good to see more value clubs that are performing! Good review.

[@christophersherman2437]

So if we were to match these with the other budget friendly players irons what are your rankings? Tacomo, Maltby, MacGregor, and Ben Hogan. I would love to say Kirkland but since you cannot get those right now e won’t include them. What are your competitive feelings.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I think I’d go Maltby, MacGregor, Takomo, Hogan personally.

[@shaunkelley55]

Played MacGregor steel shaft woods years ago, great clubs good to see them on the comeback

[@user-oo9zf1hx6n]

[@bentwookie348]

Ha, I still play with a 20+ year old set of Golden Bear irons which were made by McGregor if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure they're not great, but they're all I've ever known.

[@cnoto4466]

Years ago, I borrowed my friend's irons and loved them! I always wondered about those Golden Bears. My friend doesn't play golf regularly so he just doesn't care much for golf but I never forgot the feel of those irons. No wonder....MacGregors! (didn't know they made the GBs.)

[@irish5359]

Loved the review Gabe. Nice to see a classic brand making a comeback.

[@LetsPlayThru]

[@johnnymossville]

I would love to see them make a comeback. It's a legendary name in golf. mainly because of Jack Nicklaus.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes I think they have the 2nd most PGA Tour wins, or maybe majors? I remember seeing some stat.

[@johnnymossville]

@@LetsPlayThru These irons look amazing! I also like that they aren't using something like a 27 degrees for a 7 iron.

Great channel . Sorry typo

[@Murf1802]

Hey Gabe , I ordered a set couple of weeks ago 5 to PW, and it's on its way. I'm excited to give them a hit. Hey Gabe very strange I ordered a set of Ben Hogan PTX tour irons new for 2024,outstanding irons, really pure,but every club came with the same exact ding in the same spot as your McGregors, idk, definitely something to say about the machine it's being pressed in , no way there using the same manufacturing right?? Anyway ty for review and McGregors customer service is outstanding, a few emails back in fourth answered immediately, and nothing seems to be a problem. A+

[@frankengolfer1252]

Another great review Gabe. I prefer those where you play as you normally would from your regular tees, rather than moving up to play irons-only, but I’m not surprised at your responsiveness to the community or willingness to try something different. Keep trying the old school, budget, unpopular, or unusual stuff, as few others do it as well as you do and everyone covers the big brands.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I’m with you. It was interesting to test, but I think I ended up hitting more wedges. Next time I’ll be back on the white tees.

[@hoppman6649]

First set of full irons I bought were Macgregor MXC irons, 2-PW, somewhere around 1982.

[@paulhuk2748]

Hi Gabe another great show, I personally got fitted for some cobra air x a couple of years back now, hadn't heard about takomo, caley, and now McGregor back on the scene, I now know that I will be spoiled for choice on my next budget friendly step up , as I do like the looks of all these new irons now, starting to feel a bit dated with the cavity back, although I did test quite a few of the big brands when I had fitting, it was the cobra's that just felt that little bit better ( for me). keep them coming mate.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Enjoy those Cobras for now and when ready, yes, you’ll have more options than ever. 🙌

[@williamchapman1538]

My first set of clubs were MacGregors. Irons and a laminate driver, three wood and five wood. I got them when I was 19 at freaking Sears! I am currently 55. They may have been great clubs, I was so god-awful that no one would ever know.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Great looking irons and a good price too. Lofts look very similar to my D9 forged irons. Pity about the quality issues though

[@JDSFLA]

I was looking at the MacGregor MT-86 OS and Pro models recently, but can't find a review of them. Hope you can do that. Love your reviews and these Milled irons were impressive.

[@markzinda8863]

Bought my very first new irons in 1969 from the Mt Pleasant GC Pro Shop in Baltimore. They were MacGregor’s!

I think you should do a 3 or 4 hole round with irons only from the forward tees.

[@scottgraham2298]

Nice looking irons but I really like the putter

[@carlosGarcia-xl1ql]

I think the UK version of the mcgregors have a little more color pop. Even though I am not looking for a new iron set, but I am looking at their MacTec driving iron in 18 degrees. Since I can’t hit my 3wood consistently. Btw.. I like the forward tees/ iron only review!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes, it’s a completely different company. I just found this out actually. Crazy!

[@nbargolf]

Gabe now you know how it feels to hit your drive 190-200 yards off tee. Being 81 that's my golf still love the game just move to the senior tees and maybe later the forward tees. BTW take a look at the MT-86 wow what a club.

[@LetsPlayThru]

It’s the greatest game in the world that you can play it until your 80s 🙌

Look into the Ram Axial irons. Very cheaply priced and just scored in the top 3 players irons for My Golf Spy. The only irons that beat them out was the TM P-7MC and the Ping I230. When Ram beats out OEM's like Titleist, Callaway, Cobra etc they have to be something special.
