After all the debate about the 2008 season from Macgregor, I have been able to get you guys a sneak preview of some of their new offerings. Macgregor is going back to a forged line up, Don White designs that are 1025 forged carbon steel. They expect to be available this upcoming december/january.

Uh, those are awesome.
VEEMAN1152
Holy Crap those are nice! never thought i'd want MacGregors again till i saw these! Very Nice
sergizmo
Those look nice. They didn't waste any time after dumping Barry Shneider going back to MacGregors roots, classic looking forged irons.

Using Don White to help brand them is a smart move as well.
titleistnutter
very retro...classy
abewley
OMG... could be the best blades to come out since the mp33.

and those wedges are to die for.
adam1234

Tour_Ace
Freakin' sweeet! I had heard that those guys were coming out with some awesome new once piece forgings. I can't wait to hit these. By Bye MACTEC, HELLOOO MT!
VEEMAN1152
Now they need to do the same thing with their woods!
ddubose

All in due time. A change is coming. New driver, fairway woods and hybrid are on the horizon as well.

Love em, very good looking from address

Oooh yes, went and had another look before I posted- really sweet
TheMoneyShot
Its nice to see Macgregor getting back to their roots. I think that these clubs will do well.
fletch
Wow!!! Now they look sweet...

Might have found a set to replace my PCB's
dogge1157
gorgeous clubs!!! But the cavity backs sure looks like the old wilson RM irons! Sweet though!
sadie2677

Haha, I wonder if MT is an abbreviation for MacTec. I seriously don't know, it could mean something else.
weakright
Any idea what the MT stands for?
daheels
Those irons are beautiful. And the wedges do look a lot like vokeys. Do you have any topline shots of the blades?
Johnny
damn ! Welcome back macgregor... those are nice
Jack The Lad
Just a bit of an improvement from the awful NVG2 irons!

MT = MacGregor Tourney

They've been stamping that on their irons for decades!
TheCapedAvenger
Boy, that's straight outta left field. Those are some great, great looking irons.

they were getting progressively uglier, and then all of a sudden someone in charge grows a brain? How often does that happen?

I really hope the nvg's go on the chopping block next. MacG had something going with the updated Eye O Matic and then suddenly went off the deep end.

VERY NICE! clapping.gif
markheardjr
Much agreed, nice sticks. Let's hope they can gain enough market share to keep good things coming!

Unfortunately for Baddley he doesn't seem to have much choice. MacGregor may be trying to focus on revitalizing their struggling brand (more important) before they're really able to support and grow their pro staff. Can't put the cart before the horse!

Who knows.....a turnaround may come sooner than expected, and for damn sure THESE IRONS ARE A GREAT START!! yahoo.gif yahoo.gif yahoo.gif

Really like the wedges, very vokey-esque. Ill have to try a 56-10.
iskysoma01
They are absolutely beautiful, however unless they come out with a line for the average golfer there is no way they are going to be able to make it. The numbers will not be there.
webber
Those look awesome from the pics but Mac's always looked too long heel to toe with a very shallow face height. How do these look excactly?
Cdn_golfer
Wow those irons are dead sexy.
KTgolf1
Now thats more like it!

Classic good looks instead of crappy grey/blue stickers with 'Tec'! written everywhere, or blades with stupid bulges.

That would be my fear with the forged cavity backs. If they put the cg too low for the everyday consumer, they will launch too high for the more accomplished golfer. The forged cbs are beautiful.

I'll be interested to see if the wedges are also forged 1025 or 8620. The grinds look pretty good.

Don White will never get the respect that he truly deserves, but these designs might help to change that.
bjackson
Incredible stuff. Love the CB's
wkuo3
Classic beauty, and I thought that I won't be getting another set of irons for awhile.
I might have to talk to wife about this..........
justyn
Yep, found my new MB's

There will be other sets of irons as well. These are just the forged cbs and muscle backs. When the rest of the sets are available, I will try post them as well.

I thought I read in GolfWorld (a few issues back) that Macgregor was coming out with a Greg Norman line of clubs? Did you hear anything about that?
aussiehack
A cast version of the PRO-C would put Macgregor up with the Cobra's, Nike's and Adams and get them back to where they were in the mid to late 80's.

People forget how big Macgregor once was i think.
Skaffa77
All I can say is...DAMN.

I had huge fears for Mac's future, but these are great looking irons. WOW!
exlinegolf
Where's Badd's going to?
Sakman
Wow...now those look sharp!
Asleep
Now those are some good looking designs!
Shortknocker
The wedges are 1025 just like the irons.
ErichZF
What a jerk! Now I have to buy more clubs. Thanks for posting that.

Clubs go in the garage and the cars stay out.
mr_divots
Just floored at what a complete 180 Mac did already. Just awesome.
This is eerily similar to the PCB/PCB Tour introduction though. Beautiful clubs that never caught on. (You can see a definite resemblance in the cavity of the CB set to the PCB Tours as to the shape.)

Let's hope the rest of the lineup looks this solid so that they get some momentum going. Can't wait to try these. Those MB's make me want to hit a MB again, even though I've sworn them off! rolleyes.gif
