MacGregor Iron Sets

MacGragor Irons

Consider the following features when deciding which MacGregor irons are most suitable for your game.

MacGregor Irons - head

The first decision that you need to make when buying a set of MacGregor irons is what head you’re going to have - cast or forged? Cast heads tend to be more forgiving and for the higher handicap player where as forged heads are a single piece of metal pressed into shape - resulting is a performance head that is less forgiving and for the better player. It is easy to tell the difference between the two. Forged clubs are often referred to as blades and do not have a cavity in the back. Cast iron heads are often called cavity back’s and has an obvious cavity in the back of the club. This creates more mass around the perimeter of the club head. MacGregor irons with cavity backs are therefore less prone to twisting when you miss the sweet spot. This makes MacGregor irons with cavity backs more forgiving. MacGregor irons with deeper cavities are more forgiving but offer less feel to your shots. Bladed MacGregor irons have a thinner club head and no cavity in the back. Blades provide lots of feel but are less forgiving to hit. Blades are best suited for players with low handicaps.

MacGregor Irons – shaft

The first thing to understand is the material that your shaft is going to be made out of. Graphite shafts are lighter and generally more flexible than their steel alternatives and are common place in ladies and senior clubs. Steel is heavier and stiffer and is the choice of about 95% of golfer’s world wide as the shaft material for their MacGregor irons. MacGregor irons with graphite shafts are lighter and more suitable for golfers with slower swings or higher handicaps. Golfers with fast swings usually find they are more accurate with steel shafted MacGregor irons. Most of MacGregor’s Tour Professionals play MacGregor irons with steel shafts. New MacGregor irons with graphite shafts typically cost £100-200 more than a set with steel shafts due the higher cost of graphite. The right shaft in your MacGregor irons can increase the consistency of your shots.

MacGregor Irons - flex

The next thing to get your head around is the flex of the shaft. Usually more important in graphite shafts but the more serious player will be aware that steel shafts can come in a variety of flexes too. MacGregor irons with regular flex shafts will be suitable for most golfers. If you have a low handicap or fast swing you may prefer MacGregor irons with a stiffer shaft. If you have a higher handicap or slower swing you may prefer MacGregor irons with a more flexible shaft.

MacGregor Irons – lie

MacGregor irons with a standard lie are suitable for most golfers. If you are a tall golfer or have a more upright swing you may prefer MacGregor irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees upright. If you are a short golfer or have a flatter swing you may prefer MacGregor irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees flatter. The lie of a golf club is the angle that the hosel of the iron joins to the rest of the head. Most golfers will be ok using a standard lie but there is a simple test that you’re local pro can do with a bit of tape. Once you’ve established whether or not the lie angles need tweaking, most clubs can be usually altered in a matter of minutes by your local pro for a modest fee, well worth paying.
