i am having a tough time pulling the trigger on some new irons narrowed down to the new Taylormade P-790's ( currently on sale for 1050 Canadian 675 ( US ) ) TAKOMO 101's 850 ( Canadian ) and the PXG BLACK OPS 1125 ( canadian ) i will be 60 next March and am an 8 handicap looking for feel , distance , forgiveness and something that will age well with me I even thought of the ELEVENS HYBRID irons 1175 ( canadian ) what are your thoughts or suggestions ( I am unable to hit these ahead of time ) well done video cheers from Canada
Nice, I just got fitted for these and I was amazed at the dispersion and consistency. 2 hours of hitting and I had the tightest groups ever. I went with a full set of 790's and my only concern is at the top of the bag as I wasn't able to test the 8-PW. Is the gapping consistent from what you saw? It seems as if the scoring irons are more traditionally lofted, did you find that a problem?
I found that there was brilliant consistency from PW all the way in to the longer irons. The PW is 45 degrees in loft, so its on the stronger side, along with 9-8 iron, but you'll not see any issues with gapping in the scoring irons.
The turf interaction with the P790'S are brilliant, it just glides through. I compress and hit down on the ball quite a lot as I also have a steeper attack angle and found it really easy to cut through the turf.
Abilities maybe, but budget not really! The design of the lofts are interesting! I’m a hybrid guy though from 5>. I’m playing the standard off the rack PXG 0211 XCOR 2 irons 6-GW.
These clubs look and sound awesome .

How do these interact with the turf? Asking as I have a steeper swing
Get srixons .. don’t worry about these , Srixon made for steep swings that v sole is magical for it

Are they workable? Draws and fades...?
Absolutely, very workable if you like to shape the ball.
