MacGregor M455 V Foil Golf Irons - Reviews

On 2006-04-18, Frankie Five-Angels rated this MacGregor M455 V Foil a 5...(6813)

Details: Standard set, 3-PW with stiff, ultralight steel shafts.

Purchase: I paid $234 for, , a new set from golfetail via ebay. The set was advertised as 'practically new' and thye weren't kidding! I purchased this set due to the reviews I read here and the significant price reduction found on this brand and model ( as this model was replaced by the MacTec series of muscleback irons). I was particularly attracted to the fact that these are FORGED CAVITYBACK irons - a rarity. Since the reviews, here, placed their performance higher than that of Hogans, I decided to go for the MacGregors.
Pros: First, these clubs look great! The oversized head looks heavy, but the weight is surpisingly light for game-improvement irons, through the V-Foil design. I get a significant increase in swing-speed from my heavy Big Bertha copies, but still have the weighted heel to keep the swing line. I am hitting about one club less than I used to in the long irons and two with the mids! Finally, the forged steel head feels great when you hit it right (a real solid feeling impact).
Cons: Nothing.
Quality: The finish is chrome on the heel and polished steel for the rest of the head. A real quality club, sporting forged steel heads and ultralight shafts.

Review Summary: This iron is a great buy at current prices. If you are looking for a game-improvement iron, forget about those over-priced BB Callaways and invest in these or the M-565s. My friend with brand new Ping I5s kept drooling over my clubs and telling me what a deal I got. You'll be equally happy, I'm sure of it.
