As good as Apex + w/o the price tag (I also have a set of Apex+). Apex+ is a little softer but MTs are a little more forgiving. MTs are softer than any cast clubs I've tried. Great clubs. Similar Products Used: Apex + |

Excellent irons in all respects. I wasn't even considering MacGregors at all, was more concerned with Titleist DCI 990 and Hogan Apex +. Saw these in a rack and thought they looked great, classy and very high quality. The real kicker was when I swung at a few balls. Wonderful feel, feedback and softness. The MT's are made from 304 steel, which is as soft as carbon forged steel but cast instead. Whereas the Titleist 990 has a muted feel, the MacGregor MT's have an almost sweet as forged feel, but also are forgiving enough to save miss hits. The Hogan Apex+ are exceptional irons as well, and are somewhat forgiving, but the reward of a good shot is just as pleasing with the Mac's, and great forgivness as well. The MT's are just as workable as the Hogan's, set up almost identical as well. All this and a price almost 50% less than the Hogan's. MacGregor MT irons are exceptional golf clubs, a sleeper in my mind. I'm smiling with every swing of these clubs. Customer Service I called the Canadian distributor of MacGregor products for more information. They invited me to their offices, gave me a great brouchure and spent time showing me all the merits of their golf clubs. Then they gave me a set of demo clubs to play with for a week or so, just to make sure and followed up after i purchased them. Great people. Now, if only they would make their MT wedges in lefthanded, would be a happy man:) Similar Products Used: Ping Eye 2, Titleist 990, Ben Hogan Apex+, Maxfli Revolution |

In one word, WOW! Ever since I began playing, I had fallen into the big $$$ new technology clubs, but now I have seen the light. What a great set of clubs. After my first few shots at the range, I noticed that these clubs get the ball way up in the air, but do not seem to compromise distance. At first, I thought I was hitting my SW, instead of the PW. It was great! All of the clubs are easy to get up into the air, even the 3 iron. There is a small amount of offset on the clubs, but nothing major. These will not turn you gentle draw into a hook. Another thing I noticed quickly was haw great these clubs feel. Unlike other clubs which can compensate for poor swings, you'll know right away if you've hit a good one or not. These go where you aim them. There is massive loss of distance when you hit a fat shot, but that's the way it should be. And last, but not least, is the great look of these clubs. Not oversized and bulky like my Callaways X-12's (which are now on EBAY), but more of the classic look. At $325, after tax, from Edwin Watts, these may be the best clubs for the price on the market today. Similar Products Used: Callaway X-12'S, MP14's, PING Eye 2 |

These clubs are awesome. I wasn't even considering these clubs until I read some reviews about them (all I was thinking was 990's and Apex Plus). These clubs are awesome. I played with them today for the first time. My first shot ever was a five iron from 175, and it was a crush. It wasn't even good contact but it flew perfect. The feel on these clubs is amazing. I refuse to believe that these aren't forged. They have an amazing pure feel at impact. Distance is great. (old 6-iron 150, new 6-iron 155-160). These clubs also look great. Possibly the best irons on the market! I love these clubs!!!! Customer Service MacGregor was awesome! I sent them an email telling them hot much I loved these clubs. They immediately sent me (by UPS Next Day Air) a MacGregor Tourney hat, MacGregor Golf tees, a Brass MacGregor Bag Tag, and a Feel the Future Pin. This company treats is customers with care!

I've been trying to shoot in the 80s all spring and summer. I decided to try the $299 special that was going on with this clubs and what a world of difference! I shot 89 on a 126 sloped course the very first time out!! This is a great set for the "average" golfer. Similar Products Used: None |

I found them for half price at a nearby golf outlet. I figured that I would use them for a year and then trade up next year. Change of plans... These clubs are great! The clubs go right where you aim them. The three-iron is my fairway bisection tool. I'm anxiously awaiting for my 2-iron to arrive. I've learned to draw and fade my irons at will. I hit them flush, they feel like butter. If I'm off a bit, I get feedback with little change in results other than maybe a lower trajectory. I expect my handicap to go to single digits this summer because any shot with an iron is automatic. Hitting a 3 iron is like hitting a wedge. These clubs are going to stay in my bag for a long time. Customer Service I got a quick response from Customer Service re: purchasing a 2-iron. Similar Products Used: Ping Eye2, I3, Titleist 981, TM Burner Tour, MacGregor PCB, Maxfli Revolution |

Oh man are these wonderful irons! They have such a classic, clean look, no gimmicks. They are well balanced, get the ball in the air easily, and actually give you a nice feedback. I picked them out in the pro shop and didn't even bother to try them out, they looked and felt that good. I find that every shot goes exactly where i am lined up. What more can you ask for?

I am not a pro by any means but this set cut at least 10-13 strokes off my game. Very easy to hit, to get the ball airborne and they feel great. I would recommend this set of Irons to mid to high handicap players. Similar Products Used: Cobra, Firesole, Supersteel. |
