    Good video. Many of us appreciate the work you do to keep the old clubs alive.

      Have you ever considered doing a video on Toney Penna irons and or woods? They seemed to have their moment in the 70s and early 80s and then they disappeared.

    These are classic irons. I have the colokrom version of both M85 (stiff) and M75 (regular). Feel is awesome when you find the sweetspot but definitely less forgiving than modern blades. You need to play these to understand just how good the players in that era were.

    I think I’m just a glutton for punishment because I love to play these kinds of irons. I marvel at the looks too. Terminally sick……. :)

    It is fun to play the old game, back when a 7000 yard course was 'monster-long.' I play vintage late 70's clubs and persimmon woods just so I don't have driver-wedge into most holes. (I still cannot find a better putter than a Bullseye.)

      Funny how playing the game the way it was supposed to be played is more fun huh? Forget the scores and appreciate a course the way it was designed. New tech is cheating in every single way. People just don’t want to admit it because they are addicted to their handicap.

      @vanbalzup6481 Playing golf with the new tech is like writing a bicycle with training wheels.

    DELICIOUS.
    One of the greatest irons ever!
    Who cares how forgiving they are?

      I know right. I finally found a set M75T’s yesterday at goodwill. (2-pw) They are soooooo good. Do you know the lofts by chance??????

      @@ClassicGolfClubs No worries played them today. Hit some good golf shots with them and they felt fantastic. Always fun watching everyone’s reaction when you show them what you’re gaming with. Everyone loves that thick top line! 😄

    I found a nice set of these a couple of years ago. Sold them to a golfing buddy looking for a classic set. Back in the 50s and 60s standard length was shorter. Feel forged.

    Mr. Vintage- For a price too good to ignore I bought a set of the M85 copper faced irons which I understand are 1980's era remakes of these originals. Since shanks have not emerged while I have used them, maybe MacGregor made the "sweet spot" adjustments you speak about. They are fine clubs at any rate!

    @jermdawgg 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Wow what are the chances. Just picked up some M75T’s yesterday. 2-pw. They were all rusted but after a vinegar lemon bath they looked great! I have to disagree with you on playability (or shank-ability) Some of the best clubs I’ve gamed outside some 60’s Wilson Dynapowers with a load of lead tape or a set of Kenneth Smiths. 😂 Love that thick top line!

    Shanks a lot for the review, I HATE HOSEL ROCKETS, lol!! I guess "hitting it out of the middle" was a miss hit back then. The latest version of MacGregor was selling a modern copy of this iron a year or two ago, classic looks loaded with modern tech.

    Are you able to get hold of a Northwestern RB880 iron to review? In the early 80s, I had a 2nd hand set of Northwestern RB440 but have never come across any on ebay ( I'm in the UK). I know that Browning made the same model (RB880) so I'm not sure what the relationship was between the two companies? One bought the other, maybe? Thanks, I enjoy the videos 😊
