Links Gear: Macgregor MT Pro-C Irons
© Bob Grier
Perfect melding of form and function.
By Tom Cunneff After a management shake-up at MacGregor, part-owner Greg Norman has taken over as chairman, leading the company to a position of what it does best: making classic-looking irons. With its satin chrome finish, the MT Pro-C is a beautifully crafted iron, a club Norman himself could have played in his prime. Forged from soft 1025 carbon steel, the MT Pro-C’s compact design and flat, narrow sole allows better players to work the ball, while the weight in the cavity moves up or down from club to club for optimal launch. “These have just the right combination of forgiveness and workability,” says a 4. “I had no problem hitting cuts, usually hard for me.” MSRP: $800 (3–PW, steel shafts; can be combined with Pro-M muscleback)
