263.0. "Macgregor Tourney irons?" by NAC::KALLUNKI () Mon May 02 1988 13:14

    
    	Hi,
    
    		A friend of mine is looking for a new set of irons...
    	He has tried swinging some Macgregor tourney's and likes them.
    	He currently uses Wilson K-28's and needs the perimeter weighting
    	for his low iron shots. Does anyone have any information about
    	the tourney's? Good or bad. The store attendant was not very
    	helpful... 
    
    	Thanks

    Macgregor Tourney is a good golf club.  They are a standard off
    the shelf type club in general but are adjustable by a knowledgeable
    person.  I just took one in for repair (broken shaft) and it is not
    a perimeter weighted club.  If your friend wants to have a large
    sweet spot iron, this is not the club.

    Hmmmm... doesn't sound like the Macgregor irons will be much 
    better than the K-28's. I didn't want to see Gerry pay $230+
    and be where he started. 
    
    Thanks for the information.

263.3Worth a look?AUTHOR::F_MCGOWANTue May 03 1988 14:413
    May be a little out of the price range, but check the MacGregor
    CG1800's; a perimeter-weighted club with "forgiveness" and power.

    Just to finish the story...  Gerry bought the MacGregor tourneys.
    They are a perimeter-weighted club and feel/look similar to pings.
    He has played a few rounds to date and is happy with the added
    distance... Seems they are selling pretty good lately (so the
    attendant says).

    Hmmmmmm That's interesting.. Learn something new every day.  I wonder
    when that happened.

    Yeah... I was surprised also. Matter of fact it wasn't until I read
    it on the club that I believed it. Must be new this year?? 
    
    thanks again

    re:-x
    
    Are these clubs the new RPM clubs? The only perimeter weighted
    MacGregor clubs I know of are the RPM, and CG1800's.
