MacGregor’s  New NVG2 Irons

by BRUCE VITTNER

MacGregor made headlines in early 2007 when the company announced that Greg Norman had become a “significant” equity investor. At the same time, the new NVG2 irons were revealed, and company spokesmen described Greg Norman’s surprise when he put the new NVG2 irons in his bag and gained 17 yards with his long and mid irons.

MacGregor has undergone a reinvention over the last few years. The company which defined “forged in America” has come to represent the latest in Japanese design concepts. The NVG2 Mid Irons are examples of the Japanese influence in current MacGregor design. The NVG2 irons are long from heel to toe. They are constructed in a hollow design with tungsten weighting low in the clubhead. They have consistently  strong lofts, delivering extra length club per club. Although they were originally designed for mid and high handicap golfers, they have gained interest from low index players who want forgiveness and extra distance.
