MacGregor is historically one of the biggest names in golf with numerous major championship victories being achieved with its clubs. Nowadays, however, it is more synonymous with value equipment and offers some of the best package sets.

Similarly with the irons, the visual is reasonable from the back, but is once again better in behind the ball, which is where it matters right? The paint job in the cavity could be slightly higher quality as some of this overspills a touch, but that is being fussy.
