A year ago, TaylorMade released an update to the P·790 irons, one of its most popular clubs. Two months ago, the Carlsbad, California-based equipment maker announced that it has a new version of its P·770 iron, a club that is very similar to the P·790. They are so similar, in fact, that many golfers with a handicap between five and 12 might be confused about what separates the new P·770 and the P·790.

The P·770 and P·790 cater to different types of golfers, so here’s a detailed comparison to help you understand the similarities and differences between them, and then decide which set might be the best fit for you.

Construction and Technology

The 2024 P·770 irons feature a hollow body construction with the inner chambers in the heads filled with SpeedFoam Air, a material that debuted in the 2021 version of the P·770. It is a lighter version of the original SpeedFoam and enhances the feel and acoustics while maintaining a solid, forged feel.

The P·770 irons have L-shaped faces that are forged using 4041 stainless steel. The face plate wraps under the leading edge and into the sole, which TaylorMade claims helps to broaden the sweet spot. The 3-iron through 7-iron have also been designed with a Speed Pocket slot that is positioned directly behind the leading edge, along with tungsten weighs in the heel and toe to increase the moment of inertia (MOI) and provide stability on off-center hits. The center of gravity (CG) is low in the long irons and elevates through the set to optimize the launch angle for each club, making it easier to hit the long irons higher and flight the scoring clubs down for enhanced distance control.
