I was looking for a set of blades that I could hit. I tried all of the major brands and the one I kept going back to were the Macgregor 1025M's. They are a classy and beautiful club to look at and do inspire confidence at address. Easy to hit and I am able to work them in both directions. These irons are by far underrated! I have never felt a set of irons so soft in my hands when the ball comes off the club as I do with these. Definitely a solid set of irons that will definitely stay in my bag for a long time. Would recommend to anyone wanting to make the shift from OS to blades that has a consisent ball striking ability.

The magcgregor muscle back blades have got to be one of the best clubs i have ever seen or hit. When i first got them i was abit worried about the sweet spot, shortly after playing with them i realised that you make a good swing, you get a great feeling, make a bad one then kiss the distance good bye. good flight, great spin and fantastic feel. what more do you want from a golf club, sure there not as forgiving as callaways or titleist 762's but they feel a hell of alot better when you hit them. A splendid golf club

Bought them brand new for $350, as they are being discontinued. Originally these are $650 clubs. First of all, these are beautiful clubs with a classic, traditional look. It's a shame they are being discontinued. As for playability, I like them much better than the overisized cavity-backs I was playing before. The feel is much better and I don't really notice any difference in length or forgiveness. The thin top line is pleasing at address and I find my concentration level is higher than it was with the O-size clubs I had before. This whole "blades are for low handicaps, and cavity-backs/game improvements are for high handicaps" is nothing but marketing spin. The fact is that with irons, a poor swing is your worst enemy and it doesn't much matter which club you are playing. In terms of striking the ball, the forgiveness gap between blades (esp. modern blades) and cavity-backs is marginal at best despite all the techno-hype from the manufacturers. Now woods are a different story. The drivers of today are light years ahead of where they were 20+ years ago. So my advice to fellow high-handicappers. For sure you need to work on your swing, but don't be afraid to buy blades. What you lose in forgiveness is pretty insignificant IMO, and you gain a better feel for the ball on true contact. Plus they are just nicer clubs.

Ben Hogan Apex Edge, Ben Hogan Edge-CFT. Both good clubs.

First, let me say that I have owned just about every iron on the market (which more of a personal slam, than a boast). If you want an opinion about basically anything, email me. I've had the 1025M's and the 1025 CM's, and love the 1025M's. Like them better than the C part of the CM's. Trajectory (for me) is slightly higher than average. The sweet spot seems more generous than most Mizunos or Apex's. They set up well, and the little diamonds on the face help my alignment. I have no trouble working the ball, but they don't get out of control any more than anything else. Very accurate. Plus, these just look so wonderful, I practically want to wear them as a fashion accessory. On the whole "can you hit blades" gig: hey, a bad swing is a bad swing, whether you're hitting VFT's or blades. And while technology can probably shave a couple strokes, I think that in the long run, you're better off honing your swing. If you have a decent swing (15 or lower Hdcp. give them a whirl...the price is right.) On the comment about why these are selling cheap, it is because they are being discontinued...not that they are bad clubs.

I went to the local shop after my seven iron was stolen from my bag. I called clubfinders and they wanted 109 dollars for the matching titleist blade. i said screw it and just put any random blade till i could get a replacement cheap. The club hits pretty well, its a little lite but, it has a high trajectory,and looks as good if not better than any other blade. I might buy a set but i was curious if the plastic hosel band comes off on every macgregor club, for i have had two other macgrergor 3 woods in the past and the plastic bands came off on both, and one of the clubheads fell off even.

I've not played blades for 15 years or so since I ditched my rusting Ram Tour Grinds. A succession of game improvement clubs followed ending up with Maxfli Revolutions that have been excellent.However, I have decided to get back to purity and looking down on to the Macgregors is compensation enough for the greater concentration needed when addressing the ball.They are beautiful. Early rounds show a tendency to flight the S300 clubs just left of the target but I 'm working at it and thinking about my game again. The feel is great and minimal vibration is felt on off centre hits. Trajectory mid-high. Great expectations!!

I also want to comment on helenedwards review. It sounds to me like you are also a hacker based on your reivew. If you are hiting a 7 iron with a trajectory of a 4 iron, they it's either a) you need golf lessons b)you have a clubhead swing speed of a 10 year old c)you need to try the senior flex to bring up your swing speed up d) you are just full of crap :-)

well, I like the looks of this club too, but you do have to wonder why these are going so cheap. You don't see any other major brand of good-player blades going so cheap. Maybe the uniformity of positive reviews before that one guy is itself suspicious. As Rush would say, "Hmmmmmm?"

I just wanted to comment on the previous reviewer, heleneewards. He obviously is a hack and wouldn't know a decent club if he saw one. To begin with, it certainly doesn't that he was custom fitted which makes a huge difference. These are a beautiful classic iron with excellent distances as attested by the majority of previous reviews. As the old saying goes, it ain't arrow, it's the indian!
