Of all the Equinoxes, the Vernal Equinox is my favorite because it means Spring is officially here.

It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter, little darlings, and looky-loo, here comes the sun. It’s time for all that snow, wind and cold to go the hell back to where it came from. We’re pretty much good until the Autumnal Equinox, my least favorite Equinox, shows its face in late September.

It’s also time for the inevitable onslaught of Majors-related limited edition merchandise from anyone even remotely connected to the golf industry.

At first glance, the MacGregor MacBLK packaged set of golf clubs looks like any other packaged set of golf clubs. It comes, after all, in a package.

The MacBLK set features a driver, 3-wood, hybrid, six irons, a pitching wedge and a CNC precision milled putter. And a bag. Pick yourself up some tees and balls and you are, as they say, golf-ready.

As we stated earlier this week in our look at five other packaged set options, not all packaged sets are created equal. While you can still find ridiculously cheap (in every sense of the word) department store brands, you’re seeing mainstream OEMs and direct-to-consumer brands raising the bar.

The packaged set world is evolving and that, my friends, is a good thing for everyone concerned.

Why packaged sets are important

We avid golfer types have traditionally turned our collective noses up at packaged sets or, as we more derisively call them, boxed sets. The term screams the sporting goods section of a big-box department store. Wilson, despite its history and its long run of solid-to-excellent performing pro-line gear, is still tarred with the boxed-set at Wal-Mart brush. We conveniently forget that COBRA, Callaway, TaylorMade and even XXIO offer packaged sets.
