Hi Gents, I have been following many of your reviews on Irons and today I finally decided on the.... P 790s! Much of your reviews/ insights & data came to the ‘fore’ (sorry!) but it the end I felt, all things considered, I can grow my game with the 790s while feeling I am not hoping /depending on perfect swings every time. Again recalling your inputs I have made some minor tweaks and now cannot wait to take delivery and play. Sincere thanks and come Xmas I hope a Driver is next on my list.... THANK YOU
So pleased we could help Rick, hope you enjoy the P790's, they are a cracking set, would be great to hear how they go.
I just got me a set of p790s last week also and am loving them !!
I should play the p790!!! Went out and tested the p770 and p7mc but was most consistent and could strike the ball better with the p790. Picked up the set right after
Great to hear, P790 are a fantastic set, hope they go well for you.
Nice review.
I'm looking forward when you do the same test on Mizuno JPX 921
Thanks for taking the time to say so.
For a sneaky peek at the results on the Mizuno's you can see them on our website on the link below. Scroll down to the data comparison. The JPX921 video will be live on the 24th August using this data.

I’m going to combo these irons, 770 for 3-5, MC for 6-8, MB 9-PW
Interesting as a follow up to my previous comments. I believe that the spwedfoam like the p760 only are up to 7 iron in the p770.
I loved my p760s but traded them in as I was losing a little distance given my age and swing - mid 60s. Thought the nicest feel irons I have owned. Seems the p770 may be the ideal mix perhaps with an mc at the top end to give you what the 760 did but without losing as much distance. Currently game the apex cf19 and the irons I loved but out of price range is the pxg gen 3. Keen to test out this combo sometime in the autumn
Sounds like you know where you're going Aly. Let us know how they go.
Today's Golfer yes have tested almost every make out there and several models. Have tm woods and vokey wedges. The apex are good so no urgent but miss the thinner top line, the better feel etc that I had with the p760s. Will test and let you know.
One of the best reviews I have seen for these clubs
Thanks for taking the time to says Daniel, much appreciated.
@@todaysgolfer I actually have both the MCs and the 790s...for the life of me I can't decide which to put into the bag...both sets are awesome!
@@danielpan5147 That's a great problem to have.
@@todaysgolfer Haha...very true!
Great review i ordered a set of 770 about 3 weeks ago can't wait to get them
Thank you for taking the time to feedback.
How do you like them ?
No idea mate I was supposed to get them at the beginning of November and now I'm being told it will be 2nd of December I was told talormade just can't manufacture the heads fast enough but to be fair it's not just talormade its all the main brands I was told the other day if you order a set of mizuno iorns now you won't get them till February ill let you know how I get on with them when I get them lol
@@henhouse110 Thanks what h'cap are you ?
I was 11 not sure with the new system because of the second lockdown I haven't been that bothered about finding out because i can't play anyway 😒
How do you think they stack up/compare or differ from the Mizuno MP 20 range?
Great honest review gents. What’s the price range for a set of these irons?
Thank you very much appreciate for the feedback.
All three sets are £1299, and you can mix and match a 7-piece set from the MB, MC and P770 if you want.
There's more info on our website below if you need it.

How would you compare the new P770 to Ping i210 in terms of forgiveness and handicap range?
Ye I had project x 6.0 shafts In mine they were nice but the rrp of the p770 is £1200 in the UK but they are abit cheaper than that i paid £900 4 to pw
The mc’s look and sound nice 👍
As a 3 handicap who has loved the p790 irons but wondered if I am giving up shots with distance control or how long say the 7 iron goes
Would the p770 be for me or a combo set with the P770 for 4-6 iron and the p7mc for 7-Pw
I hate idea of a blade tho and love look of the current 790
If you're playing the P790 already Andrew, you would absolutely be the target golfer for the P770.
If you struggle with distance and spin control in the short irons with the P790, a combo set of P770 and P7MC might well be a great solution.
The P770 and P790 are quite closely matched for forgiveness so it's like you're giving up virtually nothing and gaining a little control and consistency.
I got a custom fit for P760 2 weeks ago but they are not selling them anymore so I’m have a new custom fit for the new p irons. I don’t know what to go for but do now because of this video
Thanks for the feedback Kyle, guessing you're thinking P770's?
Today's Golfer ye maybe p7mc
@@neonskullkiller2946 Sounds like you really should give them both a try when you can Kyle, it's the only way really to see where the focus falls within your own game. And what's put on the line by going one way or the other.
Today's Golfer thank you. Will do. Keep up the great work
I wonder how long the speed foam lasts?
Consequently, they follow the Titleist line-up. Starting with the balls followed now by the perfect range of players iron. I think for good players they become brand No. 1
Thanks for the input Thomas, nice point.
Hey Today's golfer, I just got fit for the p790s and while they were a great head my spin rate with 7 iron was only 4500 and carry was 165 metres. I'm a 10 handicapper and was worried this spin rate was too low even though launch and decent angles were quite high. Would you suggest something with a bit more stopping power?
Are you looking at staying within the TaylorMade iron line up Dion?
Did you also only try the stock Dynamic Gold 105 shaft?
Nice range and if I could I would :-)
Great review. I am currently playing Mizuno MP5’s, in terms of matching forgiveness levels, is that likely to be the MC?
Thanks for the feedback Steve. The two would be pretty closely matched in terms of inertia for sure.
I play the p7mc, went into them from the p760 and obviously way less forgiveness and no speed foam, but they're the best iron I've ever played.
Thanks for your input Tazhill
A week ago I ordered a set of p790's not knowing these clubs were coming out. I have a handicap of 9 with a better long game. The simulator said I would hit the 7 iron 790 180 yards. Is it worth trying to check out the 770?
Great question Rich.
Think about how you felt about the head size of the P790. Were you keen on it? You won't get anything more from the new P770, but if you felt the head size of the P790 were perhaps a compromise on size (a little large) then yes, the P770 would be worth a look.
They're out on the 4th September.
@@todaysgolfer head size I didn't mind, it could be smaller but not bigger 😊
I prefer the loft angles on the 770's because the gapping is better. I guess the only concern is are the 770's much harder to hit/less forgiving?
Great video btw.
@@rich9573 Thank you. We spoke to Matt Bovee the Head of Product Creation for Irons at TaylorMade last Friday and he said the inertia between the new P770 and P790 are actually pretty close.
His comments are at the bottom of the review page on our website. Link below.

I'm a 18 handicap. I love the look of the p770 but do you think I should go for 790s. Thanks guys
How's your ball striking Ian? P770's certainly weren't designed for an 18 handicapper, and not knowing anything about your game it's hard to say.
I have only ever played with cb irons from titelist. Would i be able to play with the p7mc or is p770 the way to go?
Why not give them both a try on a launch monitor Dapzi?
For a Dry course, which one do you recommend?
Very Nice review Btw!!
Thank you, explain a little more what you mean by dry course. What type of golfer are you? What's your handicap and how well do you hit your irons?
@@todaysgolfer It´s a course in which the ball doesn´t land on a good lie very often, I am a 5 HCP golfer and a solid iron hitter
@@julitogoti6290 We'd be looking at P770 for sure, you're giving up no spin to get some extra performance ball speed and forgiveness wise. They are in fact very close to the P790 inertia wise.
Remember you can mix and match between the sets too. So if you wanted the extra performance of the P770 for long and mid irons, but feel comfortable with the blade P7MB short irons that's a lovely set up too.
@@todaysgolfer Thank youuu, didn´t consider that
I do not understand that You say its for hcp 4-7, when a lot of others say they are for up to 15. I play of 10 and tested and loved these but am afraid they will not work for me, even though I regard myself a decent ballstriker.
I’m undecided between the 770s and P7MC. I play off 15 and have high ball flight and currently hit a 7i 170 yards. Worried 770s be too high ball flight and not stop and P7MC I’m not good enough to use!!? Any advice please??
If you hit a high ball Alan have you thought about the P790s?
Understand some UA-camrs are saying the P770 can suit a mid handicap player, but it's certainly not what TaylorMade are saying. We spoke to Matt Bovee who looks after Product Creation for Irons at TaylorMade, he was saying the P770 are designed for low single figure handicappers.
Today's Golfer Yeah I have thought about the p790 but heard the distance with them is very inconsistent and gapping can be quite big between clubs
So I’m a Sophmore in highschool right now playing off a 74 competition scoring avg and a 0.7 handicap and I have the ping i210s rn and they are big, go to far and just don’t like them… You think it’s worth for me going down to a blade like the mbs? I’ve hit them before and loved them but I don’t wanna lose consistency because of the small head… and when I play tournaments I get nervous and ball striking isn’t exactly perfect. What is ur take? I’ve also though about how a blade might make my ball striking a little better over the years because of the feed back.
Thanks!!
Interesting one Cameron. We're big fans of not making the game harder than it needs to be (but we are not playing the game at your level), which is probably not what you want to hear.
Do you like to work the ball much more than hitting straighter shots? As this tends to be the main reason (other than looks and kudos) why players choose blades.
I still use taylormade mb s from 2014
They were a favourite with a few tour players for years Roy. Nice choice.
What clubs suit certain handicaps please.
Both the MB and MC are designed for the worlds best ball strikers Steven, so TaylorMade would say scratch or better, even though some sets will inevitably end up in low single figure handicappers hands.
TaylorMade say the P770 is designed for low single figure players, so the target golfer is 5 and below, but it's likely depending on ability some will be played by possibly up to an 8 handicapper.
Hope that helps.
Are the P7MC suitable for 14 handicapper would you say?
We certainly wouldn't recommend them to a 14 handicapper Alan, but everyone is different.
TaylorMade have said the MC in particular is designed for world class ball strikers, but we understand golfers want to play with beautiful equipment.
Give them a try and see how they go, TM certainly didn't design them for a 14 handicapper as their target audience.
How would you say the new p770 compares to say the pxg gen 3 line, The gen 3 p and t model specifically as that is the same target audience.
If I’m a 20-24 handicaper should I play the mc’s?
They certainly were not designed with a 20-24 handicapper in mind Jack.
Am I the onlyt low handicap guy (3.3) who only hits his 7 iron 155? Seems every hacker on every site hits his 7 iron 175! Also you can't always judge a certain set of irons by handicap. You can be a decent iron player but be a bad chipper or poor driver and hence the reason your handicap is higher than it should be. I just purchased the 770's mainly for their looks, have the old p770's and they were OK but never felt totally great. Best irons I had for performance was a game improvement iron, the r11's.
P770 made for 8 handicap?! Where do you get your info... that's incorrect.
Just to be clear Trevor we actually said the P770 were designed for low single figure handicappers, possibly up to about a 7 or 8 handicapper.
Our information came direct from Matt Bovee who manages Irons Product Creation at TaylorMade...where did you get your info?
@@todaysgolfer Funny, I just watched him talk about the P770's were for golfers up to 15 in another video, MC's were to 8's and obviously blades were for the elite, which is what he said. Every other video I see mentions they're up to 15 as well. I have the 790's and they're the most forgiving irons I have ever played. I am a 10... There is no way the P770's which are a touch smaller are only up to 8! There is loads of forgiveness packed in there.
@@tdelam Would be great if you could post a link to the video. Thanks.
@@tdelam Who cares what anyone said. If you like em', just fucking buy them.
“Bought” not “brought”
If I’m a 1 handicap and I’m 14 years old do think I can hit the blades
Hi Carter, probably a better way to look at it is, why do you want to play blades?
Is it because you feel that's what decent players use or are truly looking to shape a lot of your iron shots?
Thank you so much for replying back so in a couple of weeks I’m gonna head up the Taylormade kingdom in Georgia and I’m gonna get fitted because my old p.790’s are falling apart and I want more of a blade also my coach is Allen Terrell and he let me hit the p.7mb just to try it and I loved it but I lost a little bit of distance with it I noticed
Also awesome video I’ve been doing a lot of research because I want to make sure I don’t get the wrong clubs and i think this is the most helpful video thanks
Also my coach let me hit the p.770 and i didn’t like it that much
@@CarterAllisonGolf Thanks so much for the feedback Carter, it's very much appreciated.
You're doing the right thing by hitting each of the models to nail down which works for you. The guys at the Kingdom will be able to help for sure, we love the way now that all three sets are the same price, so there's no benefit to them on which set you buy.
Remember you can mix and match the sets so a combo set of MB short irons and MC mid/long irons might be a great option.
Would be good to hear how you get on.
Yes sir I will definitely let you know what I chose but that is probably what I will end up doing is the half mc and half mb thank you so much for helping me and keep up the great work on your videos they are awesome
If only sets didnt force a PW onto you...basically 300 in the trash if you dont need or want one
누가 자막좀 깔아줘요 ㅠ
Probably none of them, because they're $220.00USD a club. It's obscene what companies like Taylormade are doing to the golf market. People should be boycotting clubs at the moment until they all wake up to themselves and stop gouging the public out of their hard earned, for clubs that simply aren't worth the premium price.
If you buy new clubs every 5 years, taking real advantage of the new technology, they’re not cheap but neither expensive as it could seem.
If you want to change equipment every year, you can buy second handed of the year before, from those who like having always the latest gear, or choose some of those brands that don’t invest much in sponsoring the top players or in advertising (ben hogan, for instance).
If you want to spend even less, you can find something as 2/3 years old clubs, that can still perform well.
Technology isn’t cheap, but there’s room for every pocket.
The p770 looks like it can be played by higher than 8 handicap players. Prob more like 15
It's certainly not what Matt Bovee the Head of Product Creation at TaylorMade said when we spoke to him about the P770.
A 15 handicapper wasn't intended to be the target audience of player that's for sure.
Today's Golfer would make sense to suit a lower handicap player since it’s a smaller head. However, The consensus of the reputable you tube reviewers right now seem to be the iron can suit mid handicappers and even some higher handicappers. In terms of Distance and forgiveness it looks like there’s not a major difference in the aforementioned categories between p770 and p790. Obviously time will tell once released.
@@suprand We'll see. Sort of tickles us though that more weight is put on a 'reputable UA-camr's' word than the person who's actually designing the iron.
Today's Golfer they need to somewhat differentiate who the buyer is. I mean they call it a sibling rivalry so most same tech and distance
@@suprand It's pretty straight forward really. TM say 30% of the golfers who bought P790 were low single figure handicappers, these people are the perfect audience for P770.
It's no secret shorter blade lengths are less forgiving.
