The TaylorMade P790 and TaylorMade P770 are both forged hollow body players distance irons, but they split on loft, technology and price. The P790 is the more distance-focused set. Its 7-iron sits at 30° against 31° for the P770, which works out to roughly 2 yards more carry at the same swing speed, and only the P790 adds a Face Insert and Speed Pocket. The P770 is tagged Progressive Lofts, starts its stock set at the 4-iron rather than the 5-iron, and lists at $1,299 versus $1,399, a $100 saving. Editorial scores favor the P790: 92/100 from Golf Digest, 90/100 from MyGolfSpy and 92/100 from Golf Monthly, compared with 78/100 and 84/100 for the P770. The P790 suits a golfer chasing speed. The P770 suits one who wants a long iron in the set and a more traditional loft structure.
The P790 is the pick for most golfers. It has the stronger lofts, more face technology and the better published ratings. Choose the P770 if you want a 4-iron in the bag, prefer slightly weaker lofts for gapping into your wedges, or would rather save $100. If distance is your priority, go with the P790. If price or a conventional loft progression matters more, the P770 is the smarter buy.
