Solid set of irons. Classic look of a blade yet the v-foil technology provides a degree of forgiveness. I grew up playing Wilson Staffs and still prefer the thin top line and compact head of a blade. I've played cavity backs since the Armour 845's first came out due to increased forgivess but always missed that heavy head feel of a blade and the feeling of a pured shot. These irons strike the best balance between classic clubs with forgiveness.

Bought these from Ebay from a guy that hit the 4-6 iron only once on the driving range and was too much club for him. I've played blades all my life (hogans and mizuno's exclusively). You first fall in love with the looks of the clubs which can only be described as jewel like. Next I was more than impressed with the overall quality of the clubs which put the Mizuno's and Hogan's to shame. Then when you actually hit them they are unbelievable. The feel of the club is perfectly balanced with the weight feeling just right. These clubs do feel softer than the others and the vfoil technology really makes a difference. The first shots on the course were from 160 yards out. I hit the 7 hole high 6 feet away. I put down another ball and i kid you not you could have thrown a paper towel over both the balls. These clubs aren't any more expensive than similar clubs out there. If you can't find a great deal on ebay go to bhmgolf.com. A new set from this shop goes for $559 and comes direct to you from the factory.

I started off looking for a set of clubs with 2 preconceived ideas. 1) That club manufacturers use ridiculous marketing gimmicks to sell clubs. 2) That blades are difficult to hit, especially in the long irons. While those ideas still hold up with other manufacturers, they don’t with these new MacGregor's. The V-Foil technology works! Don’t ask me how or why, it just does! Shots fly high and long and there is even an element of forgiveness, Yes even in a blade! The long irons, although shallow to look at face to face, give confidence at address and are relatively easy to launch. I even own the 2 iron and I'm not afraid to use it if needed. I’d also recommend the matching V-Foil wedges. With the added height I’ve gained comes extra stopping power, and no iron I’ve owned and played before stops the ball like these. Add to that the truly sweet feel that these clubs give on long shots, or greenside pitches and chips, makes them unbeatable. If you are a reasonable ball striker give these clubs a try, you deserve it !

If you are use to playing a blade style club the better part of your life, you will be pleased to know the 1025m is a perfect upgrade from what ever you are hitting. Imagine a muscle back blade with forgivenes and workability built in. Beautifully crafted club's that work. There is something to v-foil hipe. Very confident look at address, swing is extremely balanced, very nice feel. Macgregor is back in to quality. Don't buy the hipe, buy the Macgregor's.

Attended a November 2002 Demo Day at a driving range in Mesa, Arizona where literally every manufacturer was there. Originally wanted to again try the new Nike Combo Irons again but ended up trying them, their regular blades,as well as numerous sets from Hogan, Mizuno, Cobra, Titleist and Ping. TaylorMade didn't bother having irons there and Hogan only had their cavity-backed irons available to hit - stupid in both cases!The last set I tried were the MacGregors. Surprisingly I immediately liked them, but was still leery, so I went back and hit the Mizuno and Nike irons again - hitting about 300 balls in total. Because of MacGregor's rather recent history of making junk clubs, I returned the next day and hit about 200 balls with the Nike and Mizuno blades before finally buying a set of the 1025M's that had to be factory custom fitted. Because of first experiencing bad December weather and a January flu, I have only hit maybe 200 dring range balls with them. They need some furthing tweaking, but still enjoy each club (3-PW)hitting them. But, their factory Customer Service (see below comments)is so inept, that given the same unusual demo day opportunity again I might choose differently.

Customer Service

Baaaaaaaaaaad! They are aloof, do not respond to phone calls, letters or faxes. They double drop-shipped me and yet act as if the problem is mine even though I reported the second shipment the next day. I've gotten so fed-up I have sent both a letter and a fax to their President (Barry Schneider) but neither he, nor anyone else, has bothered to respond over a 6 week period of time. Certainly makes me wonder two things. One is what will they do for me if I have a problem with their equipment. Secondly, with that kind of bad service how long will they stay in business.

Bought these 'as new', with only the 2 iron and 7 iron having hit a few times each at a range. I hit all the current blades available, but these stood out. They were more forgiving and felt better when the ball is struck well than the others. I played blades for years until they were stolen traveling. I replaced them with Pings, and then a custom set of cavity backs, but these 1025m's are the real deal! I am happy to be back playing with forged blade style clubs. It seemed the Pings I had been playing allowed for sloppier play due to the larger sweet spot and duller feedback. Buying these gave me incentive to look around and buy some other 'World Class' forged blades (used) such as Muirfield 20ths and standard Muirfields. I played them back to back, head to head on the grass range...No comparison. Those are great clubs, but these 1025M's are sweet!

This is a terrific club. I was playing the MP 33's, which I love but had banged up in two years (the chrome flakes easily) and had been goofing around with some Macgregor blades at my local golf shop. Went to the Macgregor web site, saw the 1025's, and had to have them. Truly handsome clubs, easy to hit, and as for mis-hits- I've never understood why people complain. It's a mis-hit, right? Macgregor's coming back with these irons. Good work!

super set of irons. heads are slightly longer and shallower than other blades. the stars on the face are not only attractive but great alignment aides. the feel is sweet on solid shots and not as harsh as other blades on off center ones. they seem to be SLIGHTLY easier to hit than the other usual suspects (MP-33s, Titleists, Hogans) - especially the longer irons. not for the high handicapper (no blade is) but any decent iron player can hit these. and if you stick with them (or any blade for that matter) and practice you'll be forced to develop a more controled and precise swing. frankly there are not a whole lot of differences between most good blades but to me these set up better behind the ball. gorgeous.

Did a fitting at the driving range for a putter and a 5 wood, but while I was there I decided to hit all the irons and compare to my current set. I am currently using Tommy Armour 845 EVO-31 irons, and like them but was curious if the newer iron sets could help my game. Uo to this point I had never hit a "game improvement" or full cavity back club. The EVOs have a progressive cavit, with the 9, PW, and Sw being essentially blades. I brought my original set of irons too, an ancient set of MacGregor MT blades just to get a perspective and probably a laugh on the improvement in technology. I hit all the major irons, Titlesit 762, 822OS, Hogan Apex Pro, Callaway X-14, Cleveland Ta-5 and 7, Ping I3 blade and oversize, and the MacGregor 1025C cavity back. After hitting them all, I found I hated the Callaway, Cleveland, and 822 irons. I had the Titleist 762 as the irons I like best, The MacGregors second, the hogans 3rd and the rest I thought were awful. I found that offset is not suited to my game- the more there is the worse I hit it, and I found that the full cavity backs were not that big of a deal for me. At this point, I still liked my Tommy Armours more than any of the sets I was testing. I tried the old Mt iron and found that yes the technology had improved a lot, even in my EVO set. Then, on a lark, I tried the muscle back 1025M, thinking I would not like them that much. I was wrong. From the first shot, I was hitting beautifulk crisp shots. The feel, being forged was awesome. The feature of "more directed mass" from the V-FOIL is much more than hype. It really is a huge amount of technology hidden ina classic blade appearance. The clubs were as forgiving as any of the others, but sweet sopt hits (which didnt seem small or had to find) was just pure heaven. You really can feel the mass behing the ball, and the contact is unbelievably crisp ad solid. After a few minutes of hitting I was over whelmed. Went back a few days later and tried them again and had the same reaction. These are simply the best clubs I have ever hit. Beautiful trajectory, unbelievably solid hit, and the pure forged feel of a blade. I even think they are the right choice fro mid and mid-hi, say 20 and below handicaps. These clubs will will not hirt your game name, and you wont going looking for new clubs as your handicap drops. As soon as I can afford them they will be in the bag.

I've played cavity backs as long as I remembered and never had the confidence to hit blades. Then I tried out the MacGregor 1025M musclebacks. They look hot and are more forgiving than most players' cavity backs. The long irons are exceptionally easy to hit. The feel is incredible as the ball explodes off the club face. I'm tempted to get the 2I.
