Taylormade Golf has released the new P790 irons; who could game them, and are they any better than the last TaylorMade P790 irons?
In my full review, I take these new irons onto the golf course for a full rest to see if the TaylorMade marketing machine lives up to the hype regarding their golf irons.

The T350s are too good this year to be looking at anything else in the category
Looks like a Takomo 101T…which is about half the price.
Mark how comparable is this to the Srixon ZX4?
Taylormade hater 😂🤐🫣🤫🤫🤫
When i checked TM site directly, I see the following for P790s:
2021 $1099.99 for 7 clubs (4-PW)
2023 $1399.99 for 7 clubs (4-PW)
2023 $1599.99 for 8 clubs (4-PW, AW)
So older model will he about $160 per club while newest is $200.
Note: Amounts are US Dollar.
5 to wedge is £1200 but most sites have them on offer already for £1050 a lot of money and if you want an Approach or 4 iron then your looking at around £1300 plus. For a new set of irons and woods it’s over 2k now it’s sickening
Would this be the 4th version of the p790? Or was this a review for version 3?
It's all fun and games till the face cave or crack. But don't worry "TaLoRMade WiLl rEplACE it FoR fRee".
If i was to go for a fitting these would, with out question, be in the test.
Looks like they have taken design ideas – elements from Ping i230 ..
Been saying this for years. Please stop kicking the clubs 😢😮😂
I think they look terrible. Somehow look chunkier. T200 looks miles better while in same category. Still manages to look like a players iron at address.
The distance was nice in my fitting, coming off Mizuno MP18 blades, but what sold me on the clubs was 1) The dispersion, it was as tight as I have ever seen when I got the right shaft in it, 2) I was able to still work it (just not as much). I also did not have any hot shots after 2 hours of testing, they were all pretty much within 10 yards of each other and this was with me hitting normal all over the face shots and a few with a positive angle of attack. I was trying to get more forgiveness with the same workability I am accustomed too with my Mizuno's. Also testing the 225's and those were similar, but not as good of dispersion for me and I liked the muted satin look of these better. Yes, in the end, looks still matter. Great review Mark, really liked the distance control at the end that is super important!
Would be great to see you do a head to head comparison with 2021 790’s. Only because I trust your opinion over so many others that are doing reviews. Thanks.
It really is staggering how much these things are now. I'd get fit but buy used heads and shaft accordingly. Probably a far better deal if you can work on clubs yourself.
Watching Marks swing in slow motion. He gets to the top and his wrist is perfect. When I get to the top my wrist bends causing my right arm at elbow bend even more. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP IT FROM BENDING ON THE TOP OF THE SWING? Played golf for 10 years but even people that just started golf dont have that issue.
Thanks for taking us to the course, so much better review .the spin numbers, sound , feel comments outside mean so much
How do they compare to the previous 2021 P790?
Very thick top line
They are not cheap. I ordered a set two days ago to replace my 2019 model P790s and it cost some serious cash. But I have always liked these irons, they fit my kind of game.
These are the irons that someone that hits the ball well, but doesn't have that extremely fast swing speed, could use. I am in my 50s and just don't hit my clubs as far as I did just 10 years ago. Knowing that I looked at clubs that could improve my ability to get my irons out there a bit farther while at the same time still have some kind of control.
Are the 2023 version of the irons better than my 2019? Probably not to be honest. Distances were identical. Dispersion seemed pretty close. The biggest reason I changed was because my current set was bought used and the lie angle is about one degree off from what I need. I have trouble fading these irons and no trouble drawing them and it turns out they were 1.5 degrees up. Even bent back they were still to high. But, if it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't switch.
I am lucky to play 3 times a month and when I switched from players irons to game improvement irons I dropped from a 9 to a 4 handicap with no practice! Never going back!
Players Hollow body, there I named them
Love the throwback review Mark! The iron looks the biz… but, that is definitely some big dent in the pocket for someone like me.
Will the 2nd hand market explode when pricing for new stuff has become mental? There is virtually tons of great clubs available on that market. At less than half the price compared to the new blingy stuff that’s been pushed out now
7 piece set 1800 Canadian dollars
I wouldn't want to demo a club with those adjustable fitter's hosel.
Fully agree with you. I have for years played forged blades with traditional lofts, Mizuno MP-33s and now another that is almost identical to the MP-33. But I also admit at age 82 it would be nice to have some lost distance back. My 34 degree 7 iron used to be my 150 carry club 20 years ago, then 140 10 years ago, and then a year ago down to 130. My clubs had 120 gram stiff Rifle Lite shafts, needed lighter, so had a second set of the same heads built with 87.5 gram Nippon NS Pro Zelos 8 stiff shafts. That helped add 5 or 6 yards carry on average, up to 141 on a perfect shot. This past week I tested the new Titleist T150 and T200 7 irons with Nippon NS Pro 950 GH R flex shafts at the PGA Superstore I go to that has practice bays with Foresight GC Hawk launch monitors. Was pleasantly surprised, got added carry with essentially the same height, descent angle and spin. Then a day ago I tested the 2023 P790 7 iron with a DG 95 regular shaft. Previously had not found the P790 appealing for sound and feel. But this time I was really impressed. It looks good, topline not too thick even for me. It sounds good, there is a definite crack to a good strike, but it is a solid one, not at all tinny. Best of all, I got 14 yards more carry on average, which one might expect from a 30.5 degree loft versus 34 degree, but in addition I got 6 to 7 mph more ball speed, even greater peak height, less than one degree lower descent angle, and the runout (total yds vs carry) was less, meaning the ball will stop on the green better than with my own 34 degree 7 iron. Ironic, no? (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.) I have always thought that the trend to stronger lofts was kind of a marketing gimmick, and turning a 7 iron into a 5 iron might give more distance, but at the expense of a lower descent angle and longer runoff, so shots would not hold the green. But the P790 has proven me wrong. And you are right. TM is really on to something.
Hi Mark,
Any chance you could do a compare of the Titleist T200 vs these P790's..?
Gorgeous looking iron💯👍
Just can’t beat the ZX5 mkii. Looks and performance are magic and tend to cost less than clubs like P790
Haven’t seen lockey in a bit did i miss something?
Any feedback on how they perform around the green? Having gamed a set of 2019 P790s having moved from Mizuno blades, I could not get used to how the P790s performed around the greens and in the end went back to Wilson staff blades. I don’t need more speed, just a little more help with off centre strikes on my 4 iron.
I know looks shouldn’t matter, but I am getting a bit tired of the matte finish on the irons. I’d like to see a set that looks like my 2020 P770 irons. Mostly brushed steel with a bit of shine and just a little stripe of matte where the model number is.
Performance is paramount, but looks in the bag also matter when I’m dropping $1200 plus on a set of only 6 irons. Wish they had more of a Titleist T-series look to them.
I game 2019 P790…….no need to change.
My advice…..buy some 2019’s they will do the same thing and be 30% of the price.
Plus unless you play off 2, don’t bother with a fitting waste of time
Just make sure the length is correct and lie angle is standard
Mark, that Cleveland golf hat is 🔥
awesome video mate! those irons look so dam nice!
Great review 👏
