For fall 2020, TaylorMade is releasing three new iron models. Those better golfers represent the meaty part of the TaylorMade P770 target demographic.TaylorMade expects the average P770 buyer will be around a five handicap. 47 deg people reminds me of my dads set I first learned on. Very clean. Its market appeal should prove to be orders of magnitude higher than the other two (probably combined), so let’s start there.In nearly every respect, the P770 is P790’s Mini-Me and I say that with the greatest of admiration for what TaylorMade has done with this iron and for the category in which it fits.That category is “player’s distance” and while I might be getting ahead of myself (P770 isn’t even on shelves yet), I believe it has the potential to be a category-redefining iron.My thinking goes back to the Titleist T100S and the idea of putting the What I like about the TaylorMade approach and why I think it will resonate with the target golfer is that while it reemphasizes the Call it getting back to your roots; P770 could signal the rest of the industry to press reset on their player’s distance designs.TaylorMade has fitted golfers with handicaps from plus-4 to 25 into P790. With the P7MC, you still get the compact design that many players crave. and so it needs a mainstream blade (insomuch as such a thing exists) that’s separate from Tiger’s iron.It’s also true in that an effort to position the P7TW as a premium, TaylorMade offers it only as a full set s,o to address the needs of golfers who want to buy a few blades as part of a combo set, something else had to come to market.So that gets us P7MB, and because TaylorMade pays its tour staff big money so you can bet it’s going to lean on them for some input into the design.To that end, P7MB blade lengths are a bit longer than the P730 but it’s consistent throughout the set. The cavity detailing reminds me of some of TaylorMade’s older RAC stuff. It’s forged into the design and has a high-polish finish that really makes it pop.
The new TaylorMade P770 iron blends distance with forgiveness in a compact players head shape.

Love the look, even if it is similar to Mizuno. Even with its compact head shape, P•770 is loaded with the technology needed to make it playable for a wide range of golfers.With the technology of P•790 in a smaller package, P•770 is forged from the same DNA with hollow body construction, SpeedFoam™ and advanced tungsten weighting for precise CG placement.Designed to fit the eye of a more discerning player, P•770 shaping relies on visual cues such as a thinner topline, less offset and shorter blade length when compared to the P•790.These irons consist of a thin, wrap around forged 4140 steel face, soft carbon steel body and up to 46g of tungsten weighting designed to deliver explosive distance and forgiveness.An ultra-light urethane foam injected inside the head that’s engineered to push the design limits of face speed while simultaneously improving feel.Our most flexible Speed Pocket™ design is engineered to maximize ball speeds and provide forgiveness on low face shots.Engineers strategically positioned Progressive ICT in each iron to improve accuracy and protect off-center ball speed.
Getting to be the time for a new set, but disappointed that (and somewhat curious how) the new gen P790 did so poorly in the last iron test. It’s called Compact Grain Forging – a phrase that bears a passing similarity to Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forging HD.
There are plenty of 15s who choose to play blades so this strikes me as a better option.As always, your mileage may vary, but TaylorMade says that despite the smaller package, P770 keeps up with P790 yard for yard, though it’s reasonable to assume you can expect some fall off in forgiveness.Across the new P-Series lineup, you’ll find plenty of Mizuno-esque language to describe the aesthetics of the new models. There’s no floor, as the compact size should appeal to plus handicaps. Where is the CG located on these irons? Retail availability begins on Sept. 4.
