What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the V-FOIL 1025C is 33.5° and the V-FOIL 1025M is 35°, a 1.5° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the V-FOIL 1025C should carry roughly 4 to 6 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the V-FOIL 1025M. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the V-FOIL 1025M averages 1.6° weaker, with the largest gap at the PW (45° vs 48°). The pitching wedges are 45° and 48°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The V-FOIL 1025C is a game improvement iron and the V-FOIL 1025M a blade iron, so they sit 3 steps apart on the forgiveness scale. The V-FOIL 1025C is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The V-FOIL 1025M trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently.
The V-FOIL 1025C is listed as forged V-FOIL cavity back and the V-FOIL 1025M as forged V-FOIL muscleback. The V-FOIL 1025M's muscle-back shape keeps mass directly behind the strike for feedback and control, where a cavity spreads it to the perimeter for forgiveness.
Both sets were introduced in 2001, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: MacGregor designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The V-FOIL 1025M is the weaker-lofted set — up to 3° weaker than the V-FOIL 1025C. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the MacGregor V-FOIL 1025C stronger lofted than the V-FOIL 1025M?
Yes. The MacGregor V-FOIL 1025C 7-iron is 33.5° against 35° for the V-FOIL 1025M, 1.5° stronger, which is worth roughly 4 to 6 yards of extra carry with the same swing.
What is the loft difference between the MacGregor V-FOIL 1025C and V-FOIL 1025M?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1.5° (33.5° vs 35°). The largest gap on a shared club is 3° at the PW, and all 9 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the MacGregor V-FOIL 1025C or the V-FOIL 1025M?
The MacGregor V-FOIL 1025C. As a game improvement iron it is the more forgiving design, suited to roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The V-FOIL 1025M is a blade iron, better suited to low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently.
Do the MacGregor V-FOIL 1025C and V-FOIL 1025M have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37 inches long.
