This article on the new MaGregor MT86 irons needs to start with a mea culpa.
In fact, it needs a mea maxima culpa.
In an old History’s Mysteries article on the life and death of MacGregor, I went all Monty Python on MacGregor and dubbed it, ahem, a dead parrot.
That didn’t age very well.
The legendary MacGregor brand is back and is being reintroduced with an iron that won’t just wake up the echoes of back nine roars at Augusta. It might just find its way into your bag.
An arbitration hearing that will determine the future of players involved in the breakaway LIV Golf tour began in London on Monday.

Introducing the Geotech Quelot Black Driver. This driver is one of the newer offerings from Geotech Golf, which is a subsidiary of DYNAMIC, one of the biggest driver factories in the world. DYNAMIC is responsible for manufacturing metal woods for many of the top OEMs, which have won countless victories including major victories.
The Quelot Black Driver is a prime example of the expertise that comes with being part of the DYNAMIC family. It is designed with the input of the factory’s lead engineers, which means that it is packed with all of the latest technology and design innovations.
One of the most exciting things about the Quelot Black Driver is its SP700 face which is widely known to be the best and most desirable face material in the industry. The reason why you do not hear about it is that SP700 is no longer produced. SP700 was a golf-specific titanium made by the Japanese company JFE. Once the material was discontinued DYNAMIC purchased all they could which translates to about 5-10 years worth. SP700 is an expensive material with very high ball speeds and an amazing feel at impact. face vs face material has some of the highest and fastest rebound attributes.
Another thing worth noting is that it is available in either conforming or non-conforming. This means that you can choose the one that best fits how you play. If you are playing in USGA-sanctioned events you will want to stay away from the thinner and hotter non-conforming version.
The Quelot black is available in three different loft options: 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5 degrees. So, no matter what your swing speed or preferred trajectory, there is a Quelot Black Driver that likely fits the bill.
It’s hard to believe the 2023 PGA Show was my first in four years. Coincidentally, it’s also been four years since I last wrote a PGA Show recap article. I can’t say that I missed the show although I do enjoy writing these recaps.
With that in mind, it’s probably best to start with the answer to a question that’s come up quite a bit lately: Why does Tony hate the PGA Show?
The summary version goes like this:
It’s poorly timed. With respect to equipment brands, there’s nothing we haven’t seen, nothing golfers haven’t seen and, from the business side, nothing that hasn’t been ordered already. Apparel and miscellaneous accessories are different animals but at the show’s equivalent of anchor stores, nobody is buying.
Also, for a guy in upstate N.Y., getting there has proven challenging over the years. My flights are delayed or impacted one way or another about 30 percent of the time.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
Dave Wolfe– MyGolfSpy writer and putter fanatic. I am always looking for ways to improve my game and fight off the impact of aging.
Some would argue with me but I believe speed is everything in golf. Sure, control also helps but I find speed to be more important. If you disagree, you likely hit the ball a long way. Control is cool but it does not override distance. Being in the fairway is nice but being way back in the fairway is not that nice.
