About the MacGregor VIP
This VIP is the 2010 relaunch of MacGregor's most famous iron name under Golfsmith, which had acquired the brand rights in May 2009 after MacGregor ceased US operations. It is not the 1967 Nicklaus VIP or the 1990s VIP by Jack Nicklaus line — no verifiable factory spec table survives for those — but a modern players iron: forged from 1020 carbon steel on an 800-ton press with a precision-milled muscle cavity and a thin topline, pitched at players who want shot-making and feel with a little help. Lofts are traditional for a players iron of the era, with a 35-degree 7-iron and 47-degree pitching wedge across the stock 3-PW set, and KBS Tour steel was the stock shaft. A VIP Pro tour prototype had been spotted on tour as early as 2008 while the relaunch was being prepared.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a MacGregor VIP (2010) 7-iron?
The 2010 MacGregor VIP 7-iron has a loft of 35 degrees, a lie of 62.5 degrees and a length of 37 inches.
Is the 2010 MacGregor VIP the same as the Jack Nicklaus VIP?
No. The 1967 VIP and the 1990s VIP by Jack Nicklaus lines are earlier, unrelated designs; no verifiable factory spec tables survive for them. The 2010 VIP is a Golfsmith-era relaunch of the name on a modern forged muscle-cavity players iron.
What shaft came in the 2010 MacGregor VIP irons?
KBS Tour steel in regular or stiff flex was the stock shaft, per MacGregor's own product page.
Production status
Introduced in 2010, the MacGregor VIP has no confirmed end date on file. LoftChart records a discontinuation year only where a source dates it, and none has been found for this set, so it may or may not still be in the MacGregor catalogue — check with MacGregor or a retailer before counting on a new set. Used sets appear on eBay, and should be measured against the chart above before buying, since irons are routinely bent from standard.
