I've been playing the gen 1 irons for 3 seasons and still love them. The long irons are hot and the short irons are consistent - exactly what I like. Probably won't switch until the grooves wear out.
Thanks for the advice guys! I kept the 2019 model but I changed my gofball to the 2021 Pro V1 X. Spin increases and height. No need for the new investmet for the 2021 P790. Would not have been able to do this without your youtube channel. Your show empowers the golfer with knowledge. Thank you!
By far the best looking of the P790 iterations. This screams for a P790 vs P770 comparison
Love the vids guys, I have the gen 2s and they’ve been good to me. When they’re sitting in the bag they look gorgeous which gives me confidence somehow.
Been playing the whole 2022 season with the new p790s and I love them. I carry 5i-AW with Cleveland rtx zip core 54 and 58 wedges. I noticed they mark up easily on the finish so I’ve used iron covers the whole season to avoid bag chatter. I clean them often- they are mint! 7i carry 170yd
These guys are the best. I can listen to them talk golf all day.
Just got my p790s delivered today. Got fitted at my local Golf Champion. Ended up going with the steel fiber i95 shafts, and ended gaining roughly 15-18 yards per club. So consistent, getting fit is so worth it!

As a scratch golfer, I love my gen 3 P790's......had them in the bag for 6 months now with KBS Tour S shafts and they've made a massive difference to my game. Added 10 yards to each club but crucially I've been able to retain spin (Prov1x) 👍 These clubs are not just for higher handicappers, so if you're a low handicapper, wanting a little help from your irons, I highly recommend. Cracking content as always Team TXG 👏
I watch this channel so much I was anticipating the video!
Great stuff gents. Always see what you guys make of new product for an honest, deep, deep dive into the technology, the feel, and the resulting data.
Great review. Looking forward to your 2021 UDI P790 review!
These are on the list when I get fitted to replace my old Mizuno MP32's. Would love to be able to hit like Matty, being a fellow lefty! Great review as usual...
Just been fitted for the new 2021 P790 gen3’s and they are awesome. Fell soft and powerful. So easy to hit and so SO forgiving. Give them a try if you get a chance!!
Thanks for updating new irons. Please compare 2021 taylormade p790 with 2021 titleist T200.
Very informative review. Thanks TXG!
Nice vid, gents! Guessing these show up in every other witb IG post I see going forward now!
2021 P790's coming in tomorrow. Had the bag fitted top to bottom. Excited to dissect my game.
Got fit for these today at my club by Taylormade reps. Very impressed with the clubs AND the reps. Was playing 921 hot metals and I gotta say the P790s out performed them. I tend to get a little too shallow at times and loose distance with the 921s. I tried steep and shallow shots with the p790s and the turf interaction was really good either way (on real grass), 162-165 yd (7i) consistently. This was all done after playing 18 in 90° heat, was worried I would be too worn out to put good swings on during this fitting, but these clubs made it easy even with varying strikes. Never thought I would replace a one year old set of irons but it was a no brainer for me. Definitely do it through a fitter, they put me 2° flat and dialed my ball flight right in.
Lovely stuff as always!
Great content as usual guys, loved the video. Would love to see a video with P770/790 combo and how you’d manage the distance gapping you spoke about in the video. I have always been interested in seeing the benefits of a combo set after seeing the multiple recommended combos by TM online. I really like how the new P790 looks more like the P770. Currently game the 2019 P790 but have been interested in the P770 since release. Love the channel, keep up the great work!
Please do a milled grind 3 60 ,56 high and low bounce test for both
would even love to see a comparison to the original versions. I have the original p790 5-7 and they are just the easiest irons I've ever hit.
These are a big improvement on the previous model(s) aesthetics but I wish they had beveled and polished the top line to make it appear thinner.
A good 4i option (maybe even 5i) to stretch top of the bag
Love the p790s and have had the OG ones for 3 years now. Went from a 8 marker down to a 4. So forgiving and great for people that aren't the best ball strikers.
This is where you come when you want a in depth review of clubs
I still play my 15 year old Nike pro combos. They are the best. 👏👏👏
Great video showing the difference. I have gen 1 and I'm interested in changing them this year. My one gripe with them is that periodically I'll hit a shot well but it'll drop well short of where I'm expecting. Difficult to tell what the problem is as I've done this from perfect lies and not just the rough. Any guesses? Keep up the great content :)
This is what I want for the titleist t200 2019 vs 2021
2 things: could we get a comparison to the T200? Can you do it with AL back and forth or split screen?
That sound great. I just don’t love the hallow body iron. I’m not high spin anyway. These look great though
Probably be more interesting to see difference between version 1 and the new version as guess might be more noticeable differences and maybe more like the window where people could change irons
Thoughts on making the whole set a degree or two weaker. I would prefer p770 lofts but want the forgiveness of the p790s. I don't want to hit my 6i over 200 yards. Would weakening the lofts make the ball fly too high?
Could you guys test out the 2019 p790 UDI against the 2021 version and see if there is much a difference? Please! Love your guys videos!!
These revisions are interesting
Cool video guys! Can I ask what shaft Matt was hitting with here?
I got fitted for the 2019 P790s about 3 months ago. Due to covid related delays, they just arrived last Friday. I had no idea an update was even coming. What a pain in the ass.

Is it fair to say that the player these irons are targeted wouldn’t be able to strike the ball well enough to say whether the differences came from the clubs or the person using them?
U guys are up too 163k subscribers! Lets get that counter behind you updated! Lol
Gen 1 will always reign supreme!
Would be interesting to see a comparison between similar clubs, like T200, Srixon ZX5 and the new P790. Great video, thanks.
I’ve played gen 1 black and now gen 2 black. Waiting for mizuno to drop a murdered iron and I’m switching 😛
How does the sole width compare between the 2019 model and the 2021? I have the 2019s and I'm a picker of the ball? I don't like the turf interaction.
Thoughts on the sound and feel of 2021 vs 2019. Currently own the 2019 model. Worth the upgrade?
love em !!! ,, been playing the 2019 version for 2 years but with this satin finish ,, oh baby !!! ordered and waiting ( could be a while im told :-( ) great job guys !
So they were officially released by TM the same week that their factory in Asia shut down due to Covid. Current delivery date on orders placed by fitters = mid-December! Wait a dew days and that date will be 2022.
Great video
Look quite like P770, what are your thoughts on playing P790 on 4 iron to try and stretch out the gap between 4 and 5 iron where find the gapping closes a little. I know that I might need to tweak the loft a little as playing P770 1deg weak.
I think I need these irons...
When you announced this yesterday I was intrigued. But what really caught my attention was hearing Ping was sending you something special. I’m playing the i10 irons and needing replacements soon.

Based on this conversation around the 11 min mark. Does less spin = less control in terms of left and right dispersion? Less spin = more axis tilt?
It will be nice to see a comparison between all the new product manufactures in this category.
Im currently using the Nike vapor fly irons and Im wondering if I should change them to a newer set of irons. With a handicap of 24, what kind of irons should I consider? I love the looks of p790 and the Ping i500. What do you reckon?
The 2019 6-iron sounded so much louder. Did that possibly result because the contact was higher on the face? Is there any change to the upright angle or perhaps the weight distribution within the club possibly account for the contact point change?
That’s my general issue with players distance clubs. I want to be able to perceive my exact strike location. For Matt, as skilled as he is, to have difficulty feeling where his strikes are, that’s a bit concerning for me in this iron.

Honestly, Props to TM staff. They know what they're doing when they sent out the improvement figures. lol
Has this new generation of speedfoam, in combination with the other P790 design features, finally given the consumer a TRUE forgiving "players style" iron that doesn't have that 5-10% chance of blasting an iron shot 15 yards further than your average? If I recall, previous generations of many manufacturers' hollow body irons all had that same issue. If so, this iteration really is a great response to manufacturing a club that every handicap can benefit from!
These would make a really nice combo with the p770s for the player like me who needs forgiveness but still values that sleek look (no chunky cavity, etc)

They do basically look the same!!, buying 2 corvettes, 1 with a 6 cylinder and one with a turbo charged v8…both look the same from the outside.👍
Would you switch from Gen 1 to Gen 3? Is there enough improvement to make that switch in your opinion?
Now yall gotta do a t200 vz p790
Based on the testing it feels like these might cannibalize on the P770s? Or are the differences still quite noticeable?
May I ask is it normal to have high bounce on 8,9,pw and aw . Higher bounce than my wedges on pw and aw
This is awesome.

Exactly. Maybe make a full hollow body comparison with all the different brands out there
Please test all 3 gens. Lot's of people with gen 1 probably didn't upgrade to gen 2. But perhaps there's enough of a difference to consider updating. Also, why can't they just round off the topline so they don't look so flat and thick? Seems like a no brainer???
I may have missed it but what shaft is in these that you're testing?
Remind me of the Honma TW-X irons which I love, and are available for a steal currently.
Ian feel free to send me a set on the 21s. Been really interested in these w the DG 105 X100
I don’t understand why you would blend these with the 770s. It’s the same tech and overall concept… why not just get mg3s for PW-60?
How do the TM p790 compare to the 2021 Srixon ZX5 irons
So what do you mean by "the type of player that needs to use this iron"... is that not Matt? Three shots in a row with an 8-iron he strayed 12mm+ on the face, yet produced three nearly identical shots. 6-iron almost the same story. Apex height retained even as the loft goes down. Not sure what more you'd want from a club when the goal is to shoot the lowest scores possible?

@@ariesnc6320 I've only used the sensors for the past 2 rounds so currently not getting the full benefit of the app but after i think 2-3 more rounds it will have enough data to start helping my game, it already has told me i'm losing strokes in the 120-150 approach distance. Arccos sent me a box with 8 additional sensors to set up all my other non Cobra clubs so because I was waiting I couldn't use the app for any of my rounds this season. Getting fitted is the proper thing for sure. I wasn't for the Forged Tec but I asked the guy that fit me for my driver if the shaft was ok and he gave me the all clear based on what he saw from me at a demo day. I just need to go back for a gap/lie session most likely in the winter

How do they call that a forged club? Is it just the face forged? When I think of forged I think of endo forging.

My biggest issue with these clubs is not being able to really tell where you are hitting it on the face. Yes for the average golfer who just wants decent forgiveness and performance these are great, but I've always felt knowing exactly where you hit the ball on the face can help improve your game. Feedback is important for players who want to improve and these just didn't seem to provide that (at least when I tested them out).

Great video, what I don’t understand is when you’d switch from something like this to more of a players iron, at what point is your ball striking so good that you should trade that forgiveness and consistency for shaping and feel?

whenever you as a player feel that something that isn’t as workable is hurting your game is some way. If you find yourself always trying to draw/fade into pins, around trees, etc. then something more players like would be a lot better if your ballstriking can handle it. I play the 2021 apex pro’s because they’re forgiving enough for me and as a shallow player, I needed a thinner sole with less bounce. It’s also interesting that the more i use thin clubs like the apex pro, the bigger they start to look 😂
