I have to say, these early MacGregors, now that they are set to ABS specs, are sweet! They really play well.
I am certain that the only reason I have been hitting the ball well and can now play with these, is because of applying and practicing ABS principles. As @twomasters said in: Holding Shaft Flex... The Holy Grail of Golf - #292 by twomasters (post 291 in that thread):
-
@twomasters : " I have never tried to hit the ball with the clubhead- I have tried to make the ball move by using the entire club"

John and I know we can see ground forces by doing drill 2 with the carpet (for eg) Just like if we hit PV5 with a vertical shaft we all know the pivot is moving faster than the club or hands can.

It’s concepts and teachings like this, that makes it possible for a 12 handicap like myself, to be able to enjoy playing vintage classic irons.
Here’s the next two vintage iron sets that will get adjusted to the aforementioned ABS lie specs.
I’ll report back when those are done and tested.
