The McLaren Series 3 irons offer outstanding sound, feel, and straight-line forgiveness for game-improvement irons. However, their excessive price tag (~£2,600) and limited stock shaft options make them very hard to recommend purely on value.

Workability: 2/5 — Designed to go strictly straight
Feel: 5/5 — MIM construction gives great soft feel
