I reviewed this putter back in 2023 and was impressed with the value on offer. Fair to say that the 2026 price is, well, has to be seen to be believed.

MacGregor V-Foil #4 Putter review

I reviewed this putter back in May 2023 and was good value back then. Fast forward now to 2026 it must be a contender for one of the best value putters on the market! Available for under £50 and in the mallet design, that is proving so popular on Tour right now.

The #4 is one of five in the collection. Read on to find out how it performed in my full MacGregor V-Foil #4 putter review and why for the price it is hard to beat!

4 star review
NCG SUMMARY

The MacGregor V-Foil putter offers something for those golfers who don’t want to spend a fortune on a putter.

It has an extremely popular head shape, with easy ball line alignment aid and a high MOI mallet design.

PROS

  • Affordable
  • Rolls well
  • Spongey grip
  • Nice shape head

CONS

  • Only available to right-handed players
  • Noisy strike

First Impressions

The MacGregor V-Foil #4 takes a very similar appearance to the more well-known Spider putter from TaylorMade. Unlike the the Spider the price tag of the MacGregor is considerably less – 85% less in fact!

Looks wise the top of the putter can’t really be faulted and the bottom offers quite a bold yellow and black design, which certainly won’t be to everyone’s taste. The bold white line on the black head looks great and is also a great alignment aid.

NCG Review

I can’t say I’ve ever used a putter that makes a sound like this one. The MacGregor V-Foil putter makes a tinging sound when it makes contact with the ball. This sound doesn’t alter depending on stroke length. As I’m not accustomed to this sound it was a little off-putting as I wasn’t expecting it but after many putts, it became less noticeable.

Over the ball, I found this putter to sit fairly closed naturally and found myself having to square it up purposely. Off of the face the ball off quite firm, I didn’t mind this however it very much depends on personal preference.

Speaking of the face, when you look down on this putter you can see the metal face insert that includes the ARC Tech face milling that aims to provide an improved roll and distance control. On either side of this is two yellow rubber inserts. I wasn’t sure what would happen to the ball upon colliding with these but after a couple of purposeful toe strikes, I didn’t really see any difference in roll or distance.

MacGregor offers this putting in a regular grip and a jumbo grip. I very much enjoyed the spongey grip which had a tacky feeling. Unfortunately, this style of the V-Foil putter is only available for right-handed players.

The V-Foil #4 also comes with a headcover that is quite thin and fastens using velcro.

NCG Verdict

Overall, the MacGregor V-Foil might not be everyone’s choice of putter but if you’re not after a big brand with a big price tag this is a great budget option that will certainly still get the ball in the hole.
