MacGregor Review: V-Foil Bobby Grace MOI M5K Putter

Manufacturer: MacGregor Golf

Model: V-Foil Bobby Grace MOI M5K
Category: Putters

Additional Details:

Purchase: I tried this puppy out on the practice green at a Golf Galaxy while I was waiting for some clubs to be regripped. At $249.00, I don't think I'd ever buy one, but I had to give it a try.

Pros: Very large, stable putter head. Long alignment line down the entire top of the putter head is easiest putter to align on the market, no question. Nice grip, leather or leather-like. Good weight/balance make it easy to create a pendulumn-like stroke. Brass face insert is pretty soft, yet not mushy like a urethane insert. Really beautiful construction.

Cons: This is another one of these backweighted putters where if you don't consciously keep the putter face square with a firm grip, the face wants to open to the right a la Futuras. Too much weight too far away from the putter face I believe. Odyssey 2 balls don't tend to open up like that. Price is steep, I'd rather have a Cameron blade style for that price.

V-Foil Bobby Grace MOI M5K Quality: Beautiful attention to detail, nice materials. Nothing was spared in this regard.

Review & Rating Summary: A beautiful piece of craftsmanship. The extreme backweighting of this putter forced me to concentrate on keeping it aligned squarely to my target. When I was successful, pure money. When it got off kilter, pushes to the right were common. A nice piece, but just not right for me.
