DO THE TAYLORMADE P790 IRONS LIVE UP TO THE HYPE?

Спорт

TaylorMade recently unveiled its third generation P•790 irons, and, following his initial review, our man David Cunninghame decided to re-evaluate them.
In many ways, the P•790 is the benchmark iron in the player’s distance category, offering the sleek looks and soft feel we all desire, while also providing almost game improvement levels of speed and forgiveness.
Having tested the 790s extensively since their release, David headed to Gleneagles to give you his definitive outlook on these impressive irons.

    Absolutely love my new P790's. Finally upgraded from my beloved R7 TP's i had been playing for the last 12 years, I loved those clubs but it was more than time to upgrade. After about 6 rounds in with the P790's I am averaging about a 195 yard carry with my 7 iron. I am 6'6" which a high swing speed and my shafts are X stiff and +1.5 long. These things are amazing and for me its hard to find a green I cannot get at with a mid to low iron. The only negative I can find with the clubs is that with the 8,9 & PW especially sometimes I get 10ish yards I wasn't planning on when you hit it 'too good' and you can fly over the back of greens. Its happened to me a handful of times in my first few rounds but now that I got more used to them its not near as much of a problem as it was to start.

    I watched this video and it made me so excited to try these clubs. Ended up getting fit into p790s with the i95 steel fiber shafts. Should have them in a couple weeks, can’t wait to hit the range and dial in my new distances. On average I was 15-20yards longer per club, with the same stopping power. I’ll take that all day.

    I went in for a fitting hoping to game these as i love Tmade gear but in the end ended up with the Titleist t200s. They just gave me the perfect numbers for my swing and front to back dispersion and forgivness was unreal on the t200s. These are my first ever Titleist purchase so I'm hoping the results transfer from the fitting to the course.

    That discussion about workability and even being able to pull off the shot that you envision was spot on. I just got fitted into P790 but I went in thinking I’d like to take the P770 home. For my game, it’s better to have the distance and forgiveness because I usually aim for the middle of the green

    I've got a fitted set been hitting about a month now. Absolutely amazing irons. Very forgiving I've literally had 1 errant shot in 40 rounds with them. Yes I play often. Mine are 2 Up 1° Strong Loft. In fact the AW is so good I'm switching up taking the 54 and 58° out. Adding the HI Toe 56 and the P790 2 UDI. 5 - AW is the set I ordered. Use AW for pitch and roll 56 for flop shots. 2 I need for when I need to keep it low either for rescue or long par 3 etc

    This is 100% the best review of the P790 out there..on course testing with honest feedback for the average club golfer. Well done. My only concern with these irons is distance control. I have plenty of speed so gapping and tweaking the lofts ( which mess with the bounce and offset) could be an issue? i swing a 7i at 88-90mph and with a 32 degree 7i, I get about 165 carry. if I'm hitting a 26 degree P790 6i 190+/- thats a pretty big gap issue.

    Thanks Jason. You are unlikely to find any issues with distance control with the P790. TaylorMade has done a great job elimination those 'hot ones' with this latest model. Gapping wise you'll also be absolutely fine. Every iron does its job very well. Where you may need to look at your gapping is from the PW to the next wedges in your set. DC

    If I was to put a set of P790s in the bag I would probably have to reassess my wedge gapping. The 790s are more powerful than my current iron so would maybe need to look at adding a stronger gap wedge to my set up. Gapping to your wedges is something you should always consider when changing your irons. DC

    I just recently started playing again after a 20 year hiatus from the game. I played regularly throughout my childhood all the way up to my 40's. I'm 64 now and I acquired a set of TM SIM 2 Max irons. I hit them well but I miss the crisp feel of a more traditional head. The SIMs feel a little mushy to me. Right now I would say I am 10 to 14 handicapper, but in my prime I was a 5. Do think it would be a good idea to switch to the P790's or should I leave well enough alone?

    I've been thinking about this for a while. Currently play ping i210 and really like them. I hit them good but just feel as though I'm leaving something out with the extra forgiveness available. I don't really see and down side to going to a p790 or 770

    If you are considering changing irons then both the P790 and P770 are great options. The P770 and i210 will be fairly similar on the forgiveness scale, but the 790 will deliver more speed and forgiveness for you most likely. As always, get fitted and go with what works for you best. DC

Both are powerful irons that offer plenty of distance, but the 921 HM Pro is probably a bit more forgiving than the P790. Where the 790 really has the edge is in looks and feel, catering more to the better player. Both great options and if you are considering sticking a set in your bag go and test them for yourself. And get fitted. DC
