Strength:

These irons are awesome. They are just forgiving enough to score with, and just enough of a player's club, to give you feedback. Which is what you need in order to advance your game and get better. You will want to make sure you get fitted right for your swing and body size, it makes a big difference. If you get the chance to buy yourself a set, pick them up, you won't be sorry.

Weakness:

You'll need a lot of practice hitting the long irons, but once you figure out how to sweep them, you'll love how they feel and how great they work into a strong wind etc...

I love my pro-c's. I also have a set of Mp-60's. I've been awsy from the game due to heslth issues but I'm ready to take my swing out on the course. Thr pro-c I'd like butter if you are a good ballstriker, which I am. My normal shot is a nice fade. I can't play with both setd. My MP-60's give me slightly more pop.anyone interested in the pro-c's, hit me up at bbro01@yahoo.com.

just recently moved up to these from a set of titliest 822 os game improvement irons and couldnt be happier. i actually feel more confident with these, and believe it or not, i am hitting them further and way more consistently. was shooting mid to high eighties with the 822's, and after eight round with these now, i have shot two 81's and even broke into the seventies with a 79 and a 78. i think its because they make me actually focus and take head to all the practice and ball striking drills i have put myself through...lol

none needed, and the gunmetal finish actually looks better with wear.

Last year, I stumbled on a full set of these at the Newhall Roger Dunn in great condition. They weren't marked with a price. The guy behind the counter, obviously a dweeb, quoted me a price off the top of his head - $150! I took full advantage and asked for $100 out the door, cash. He said "no" at first, but later handed them over. I think he pocketed the money. Who cares. These ended up being the best sticks I've ever swung. They came with new oversize grips and stiff Dynamic Gold shafts. Not only are they pretty, but they are accurate and are the best of both worlds - workable with just enough forgiveness for someone like me who's a solid single digit, but doesn't play enough to be a consistently solid ball striker. So the forgiveness helps. The forging is soft so they ding easily, but God are they pretty. As nice as the Hogan Apex Plus irons I used to play, but so much easier to hit. If you can find a set, buy them!

When it comes to iron play, I am without a doubt the best ball striker on this forum. It's not atypical for me to create a dime sized wear mark in the center of each iron in my set. Macgregor has come a long with these irons.

First, let me digress. I would like to apologize to the reader for the poor grammar used by the previous two reviewers. Personally, I had a difficult time trying to discern exactly what they were attempting to convey about these fine sticks. Nevertheless, what I could ascertain was that they favored the irons but simply had a hard time expressing their feelings in words.

Now, back to the review. I hit the pin with the 8 iron twice in the same round and I was hitting darts all day with whatever I hit.

I don't think I would buy them because Macgregor doesn't have the best resell value out there. Besides, I like my Ping Eye 2s.

I'm the best. So there's no need to read any other reviews.

Cheers.

These are very good looking set. The lines are perfekt from all angles. They have rather thin soles and a thin toplines. Very much like the Titleist 712 CB at address. Side by side they differ only in their finishes. To me they are among the best looking CB-irons on the market. (Blades alway take the cream in terms of looks.)

Feel and feedback are great: Oh, so sweet on center shots, pretty good on heel and toe strikes and rather harsh only on thin hits. These definitively let you know where you made contact. In that sense they are true game improvement irons. However, beeing progressive cavity backs they do not punish you distance wise on lesser strikes. So I would encourage any avid golfer to give these a try (and to replace the 3- and 4-iron with hybrids).

These are very accurate irons. To me they offer the same feel and control as Mizuno MP-60s or Titleist CBs. Only real difference is the price: I got a new set for just USD 250.

I'm a 10 handicapper striving to become a 9 or better. (We all have our dreams.) These will certainly help on that way. Mine have the TT DG SL shafts installed, which are comparable to the Nippon 1150 shafts. The Nippons might be slightly livelier, the TTs might offer slighty more control.

All in all I consider these the best golf club buy I have made. I only had to overcome the urge to stay with Mizuno or Titleist and to go for an now old-fashioned brand. To me that was not an easy decision. But then again you will the the only one in your foursome with these. I'm happy with these and don't look back.

I do not understand why an owner of these sticks have not chose to write a review as of yet, especially since they were first avalable 4 years ago. I was sad to learn Macgregor went out of business as I have owned and played with 4 sets of Macgregor forged irons since 1981. I knew once Mac went out of business I wanted a set of the last of a Don White designed club before they all disappear. I have been patiently awaiting for a set of the Pro-Cs in tour chrome to show up on e-bay but they seem to only be available with the TT Dynamic Golds. I ran out of patience and settled for the satin finish due to they came with the Nippon shafts and also Macgregor standard lie specs fit me perfectly. I bought a slightly used set of MT Pro-C with the Nippon shafts because they have a bit more feel than the harsher TT Dynamic Golds. I love the feel of these clubs when my swing and tempo are on, but like most forgings when you miss hit you know it right away with the punishment felt in the hands. There is nothing out there that hits any better than these, I can still work the ball and control the trajectory with some small set up changes, which is more difficult with the softer feeling Nippon shafts due to they hit a little higher than TTDG shafts but the better feel at impact is worth it campared to TT Dynamic Gold feel. Since I purchased these for $163.00 on ebay in almost new condition I can safely say a good choice because I refuse to shell out $600 to $900 for new bridgestone, callaway, mizuno, taylor made, cobra, srixon, etc. I would buy Golfsmith or the Golf works component heads and assemble my own clubs at less than half the price of big name brand OEM clubs if it weren't for great deals at auctions like e-bay

Customer Service

I do not know if Golfsmith will honor customer service issues with older Mac equipment. I do know the previous Macgregor treated customers great. In 1982 my Mac MT tour 6 iron chrome peeled off in one spot and I sent it to Mac in Georgia and they sand blasted, re-cut score lines and rechromed the iron then sent back to me within 2 weeks, it looked like brand new. They did it free of charge, I only paid shiiping
