About the MacGregor Golf M455
The MacGregor Golf M455 features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent - designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
Loft Analysis
The MacGregor Golf M455's 7-iron is lofted at 32° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 143-153 yards. The 5-iron (25°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 46° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.

- ✓Golfers who benefit from a higher launch and softer landing on approach shots
