Old blade lofts

[ezra76]

I've got a set 2-9 of MacGregor Nicklaus blades. They say 080 TSL on them. Any idea what the lofts would be on these? I'm thinking the whole set would go with my GW as the PW and the 2i would be shorter than my 5W. I've been thinking of messing around with them and also sending my irons out to have the lofts and lies checked.

I have an older set of Maxfli blades and persimmons. Irons are 2-PW. I think probably that the 2 iron is the same loft as my 3 iron, and so on. I keep telling myself that I'm going out with them some weekend. I've hit the deuce 5 times, and I've never missed it. So sweet. Thin lines, old school forged, with the stamping around the top of the long hosel.

That's what I figured. I've also got another set of MacGregor VFQ MT tourney irons. The hosels, shaft and grips are in rough shape though... and they are fairly ugly. Also have a set of Wilson Dyna Powered but missing a 6iron for the set.

Any ideas on what the MacGregor stock steel shafts that say "B" on them are? They feel a little harsh but some of that is due to the grips on them I think. I'm half thinking of grabbing some S300's and maybe trying a TLT on them.

Wishon lists the old lofts in his book but I don't have it at home...

i think for the most part blades have weaker loft. PW is around 48-49* in loft. older versions might be even weaker.
