NEW 2023 TaylorMade irons are a BIG problem for P790! 

I played the 2021 P790's 3-PW for about 10 months. I really liked them but the occasional fliers and low trajectory put me in too many instances where instead of putting for birdies I was facing and up-and-down situation. Too many times I saw a well hit ball land close to the pin and then role off onto the fringe. I am now playing the P7MC's 5-PW and I absolutely love them. The feel is exhilarating and I love the sound of a solid strike. The ball flight is more to my liking with a beautiful high, soaring baby draw, and the ball lands soft and sticky. I soon realized that I was going to have to add a 4 iron so I decided to order a P770, which is arriving tomorrow. I can't wait to take it out to the range.

Seems like the decision between these two should be influenced by the gapping between the irons / wedges / hybrids or fairways. I'd like to hear your views on that. Maybe an episode on how to go about properly gapping out the entire bag. For me, when the 5 iron starts getting longer than 180 yards it starts overlapping my shortest hybrid or fairway wood. The distance difference on the 5i between the 790 and 770 seems very much in line with the loft differences. Maybe with the 790s I could drop the 5i from the bag. Is that better for an average golfer or is it better to have closer gaps in the higher lofted irons?

Andy, that is exactly what I felt. From a person that would buy either could want to show off how far they hit...

I absolutely love the look of the new p770s I’m moving from my current apex dcb though so will probably get the p970s

Like Titleist's T100 & T100s, these are really now just loft different clubs - and that means that most players if they just swap out their last iron for the stronger lofted P790, it will likely help their top-end gapping from falling off

Not video related but top as normal! 👌 Just want to say thanks having purchased Dhy 2 iron which is a fantastic club but only yesterday bought ping chipr!...what a club! 👌..straight lonng(170yds) might even play 9 just with chipr&putter 😄...Thanks again for great videos and recommendations,spot on every time! 👍

Happy New Year Andy! After you banging on about 7 woods, 9 woods & hy-woods for 6 months, I bit the bullet and bought a 7 wood a couple of weeks ago. Oh my, oh my, oh my!!! First shot at the range a duff, but since that one shot, 200 yds down the middle every time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why the hell weren't you on about them a few years ago😛

I really would like you to tell us what shaft is in the clubs you are using when testing clubs. Shafts really do make a big difference in the feel of the club....Juts a thought. Love your reviews

One reason for choosing between them must be to get close to the required distance one being shorter than the other another would be the required height that you mention and the two don’t seem to go together which creates a dilemma

Great video. Pleased I found your channel great content 👍😀

I play T200 (2022) where do they sit compared to the P770/P790? I love my T200s and I don't see me changing them in quite a while.

Good review 👍

Good video as I’m looking and having a change . I have played the the original p790s for 4 years now and play off 9 . I will get fitted but thinking a combo of the p790s 4-6 then 7-p770s (or mc7) . Worried about gapping and like a bit more loft . Could it be a good idea getting the p790s in the same weaker loft as the p770s in the longer irons ? Cheers

But here’s my question. Let’s say an iron model is released. Two years later, the new model is released and it’s practically the same club - but the lofts are all 1* stronger. The club manufacturer says it’s a touch more forgiving (6%, for example)… Does that make the new, stronger lofted irons easier, as easy or more difficult to hit than the previous? I bought a set of players distance irons three years ago and while I like them and have adjusted, there’s something about swinging more traditional lofted clubs that gives me my most confidence. I dunno. As for these irons, I got to see them in person, but didn’t try them. While they do look and feel nice (I like the stock grip), there’s something I don’t like about how thick they are front to back. Yes, they’re relatively small from heel to toe, but they’re just…bulkier or something. Thick, square topline.

I've played the P790s last year, and have a blended set of P770 - P7MC on the way this month. I like the P790s, but the occasional flier sent some shots sailing past greens. I was shocked when I hit the MCs as well as I did, and the feel is incredible. Granted, I'll lose a little distance, but dispersion on trackman was just better, for me. I like the gap of lofts better with the MCs.

what a difference in swing path between you and Lewis!

Happy New Year. Always loved the P770s, problem is that I have i210 irons which are just as good and have no risk of hollow body fliers

Great video. I hit the 770 way better than the 790s but Mizuno 225/223 were the best for my game. 2-4 in 225 and 5-PW in 223.

I had the 2021 P790’s and when the 2023 Phantoms came out, I traded up for those. I’m Finding that I hit the 2021’s a lot better than I do the blacked out version. The weight feels way different and the strikes on the 2023’s don’t feel nearly as pure. I actually wish I had kept my old set and never fooled with the P790 phantoms at all

It was hard to understand the comparisons between old p770 and new p770s, since you switched it to be a p770 vs p790 vid, a little bit confused with this review. I just want to know if new new p770s are discernibly different from the 2021s. Thanks

I've got p790 2021 would love to try p770 side by side with my own swing

Takomo Team 201 irons. , Happy new years

Hi i use 770 pw to 7 iron then 790’s 6and 5 iron which they had to change the lofts x

A question for you Andy. I Just came back to golf after a 25 year break. I am getting lessons and rapidly improving with the help of a good pro. I bought a set of game improvement irons and they are fine irons, except for the lofts. While I was away from the game it seems like manufacturers decided to take what was a 5 iron and call it the new 7 iron etc. Even as a 'beginner' I now hit my 7 iron up to 175 yards! This seems very strange to me. Spin and loft are just as useful for control for the high handicap player, especially since this is the category of player that will improve most rapidly and potentially outgrow the limitations of 'power-bats' fairly quickly. I cannot, no matter how hard I look, find a set of clubs that are marketed as 'forgiving' for the high handicapper, yet have anything close to sensible (sorry traditional :) lofts. The closest I have come is Ping who have a retro spec option on their g425 irons and even this combo I would consider on the strong side. Can you recommend any manufacturers or products for me?

Just got PXG 0317 ST irons

to blend them you would need to have two 6 irons. Too much of a gap between p790 6 iron and p770 7 iron

Just get to the fing point what club and year you are reviewing jeeeesh

What do you mean ❓ @the average golfer “ 8:36 at the top end it’s almost inseparable particularly on 5i“ Then you said “ 8:54 it’s visible difference particulary on 5i, it’s separated by 10 yards “ So 5i is the most inseparable(8:36) or most visible difference(8:54)❓❓ And the middle and bottom is less or more different than 5i ❓❓( 10yards)

Might be cold but every shot is out of long grass and thus hitting fliers. Find a fairway.

Super super confusing video

Too many P's for me all confused
