MacGregor Ironmaster Putters

[Richard Nixon]

There are dozens of varieties floating around on Ebay. They're good looking. Anybody have any favorites of the various models? And is it possible to shaft up these older models with a graphite shaft? (It's a project in my mind that I'd like to try.)

Sam . the MacGregor Tourney Iromasters had a good reputation some years back and evolved into the various ING models.  I played with a guy who bought a ING putter for $1200, a ridiculous sum, and it never left his sight. Tommy Armour's name and mystique was strongly attached to them ,same as his Persimmon woods which were the grail for collectors in the mid-eighties. The price of these putters have dropped immensely since those peak days.
I had or have one in my collection somewhere. It is the green shafted Tourney Ironmaster with a thin round leather wrap. All I can say is the head feels nice on impact.
I can't see why you wouldn't be able to re-shaft with a graphite. Would it make it any better? I can't say if it would. It will change the overall weight for sure so you will have toadjust for it in some way.

I think you mean IMG = Iron Master Goose-neck.

IMGL = Iron Master Goose-Neck Ladies

IM = Iron Master

etc.

There are a load of later reproductions.

Not gonna lie - I'm currently hunting for one. Even if I can't use it for another six months.
