1830.0. "MacGregor Club ?'s" by STOWOA::SBAKER () Wed Jan 26 1994 12:53

    I have a some questions about a set of MacGregor clubs that I own. They
    are MecGregor DX Cavity back, perimeter-weighted irons with offset
    hosels and all that. I bought these clubs used allmost in brand new
    condition.  Is anyone famillar with these clubs ?  Are they good clubs
    to learn on ?  I have been playing them for three years and progressing
    ok.  The next question is about the shaffs.  They are marked MacGregor
    Tour Step 1 Lightweight.  Are they stiff, regular or what ?  Thanks for
    any info.

    Here is MacGregor's # if you want to find out from the horses mouth.
    
    407-694-0011 I hope that number is still good, it is a few years old
1830.2Power Pyramid?CAPNET::EHSWed Jan 26 1994 14:4212
    
    Are your Irons marked DX Power Pyramid (Yellow imprint)?  The clubs are no 
    longer available through MacGregor, I believe that they were 1990
    close-outs. Good clubs from what I understand, basic Investment cast,
    Ping wanna-be. The next step up in the Macgregor line would be the CG
    1800's, which incidently are close-outs also. I believe the VIP and
    VIP "Tour" forged blade is the newest "upper end" replacement. The
    shaft that you currently have is a lightweight regular shaft (similar
    to a TT Gold Plus regular 200).

1830.4same club, different yearASDG::TREMBLAYThu Jan 27 1994 12:247
    	I bought a set of these clubs in the mid-80's.  I paid $265 for the
    set which included 3-PW and 1,3,5 persimmon woods (at N.E. golf in
    Auburn).  The next year I saw the same clubs at Spag's, except they had
    the power pyramid thing on them and metal woods instead of persimmon
    woods for $235.  I think that they're pretty much bottom line but ok to
    learn with.

    I dunno 'bout those clubs, but I would guess that they are not impeding
    your progress. My opinion is that you can enjoy and excell at this game
    by just trying to master the basics, and most golf clubs will allow you
    to do that.  I shoot 'bogey golf' and I love to play.  I've been beaten 
    badly by guys with much older/dated equipment than I have (Tour Model II 
    Ping copies).  My game improved when I switched to the Tour Model 
    perimeter weighted clubs, so they get my vote, but I think they actually 
    let me get away with more flawed swings than I used to, but I'll take it!  
    BTW, the first time I broke 90 I had sole weighted Wilson Blue Ridge 
    cheapos.
    
    Enjoy your MacGregs, they're good clubs!

    I own a set of MacGeggor, "Jack Nicholas CG1800's" The
    DX's were and earlier model. I love my CG1800's... I just
    recentely went back to them from a set of tourblades I bought
    a few years ago. I love the tour blades but the CG1800's are
    alot more forgiving. I did see them at SPAGS for $269.00 or so..
