TaylorMade
The P770 is the iron for the golfer who reads the P790 and thinks it looks a touch chunky. Same core idea, a forged hollow body with a distance engine hidden inside, but shrunk down. Thinner topline, less offset, a shorter blade length from heel to toe. At address it looks like a players iron, and that is the whole point. TaylorMade built the speed into the construction so the head could stay compact instead of bloating out to get it.
The engine is a forged hollow body filled with SpeedFoam Air, which supports a thin, flexible face without turning impact into a hollow rattle. Tungsten weighting sits low in the head to help launch and keep the center of gravity where a better player wants it. This is a Players Distance iron, so it does add ball speed and it does fly a little further than a traditional forged iron, but the 7-iron sits at 31 degrees. That is not a jacked-up loft. For this category it is fairly honest, and it keeps the P770 from turning into a de-lofted distance iron that flies too flat to hold a green.
What you get is a set that flatters a good swing and quietly helps an average one. It will not correct a bad strike the way a wide-sole game-improvement iron does, and it never tries to. If you strike your irons reasonably well and you want a bit more carry without giving up the compact look, this is squarely aimed at you.
In short
The TaylorMade P770 (2025) is a players-distance iron that blends ball speed with a clean shape. The set runs 4-iron to PW with a 31° 7-iron. It carries a $1,299 MSRP.

Hot List Silver — compact players distance iron
The body is forged and built hollow, with SpeedFoam Air injected behind the face to back up the thin, fast-flexing front without deadening the feel. Lofts run progressively through the set, from 21 degrees at the 4-iron to 45 at the pitching wedge, with the 7-iron at 31. Longer irons get more help getting airborne while the short irons stay controllable for spin and stopping power. Tungsten weighting positions the center of gravity low and lets the head stay small without losing stability. The shaping is where the P770 earns its keep. Thin topline, minimal offset, a compact profile that sits down clean over the ball. Feel is firm but not clicky, closer to a forged players iron than a hollow distance club, which is a hard balance to hit with foam behind the face. TaylorMade slots this between the fuller P790 and the muscle-back and cavity blades in the P7 family, so it is the smallest iron in the line that still gives you meaningful distance help.
The TaylorMade P770's 7-iron is lofted at 31° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 147-157 yards. The 5-iron (24°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 45° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
Both are forged hollow-body Players Distance irons with SpeedFoam and tungsten weighting, so the technology is nearly the same. The gap is size and look. The P770 has a thinner topline, less offset, and a shorter blade length, which makes it the more compact, better-player option. The P790 is a bit larger and more forgiving. If the P790 looks too chunky to you at address, the P770 is the answer.
The 7-iron is 31 degrees, and the set runs from 21 at the 4-iron up to 45 at the pitching wedge. For a Players Distance iron that is fairly honest. It is stronger than a traditional forged blade but nowhere near the jacked-up lofts you see on pure distance irons, so the ball still launches and holds greens the way a good player expects.
It is more forgiving than a blade thanks to the hollow body, SpeedFoam, and low tungsten weighting, but it is not a game-improvement iron. The compact head and thin sole ask you to strike it reasonably well. A mid handicapper who makes solid contact will do fine. A player who misses the center often will get easier results from a wider, more forgiving iron.
SpeedFoam fills the hollow head and sits directly behind the thin forged face. It supports the face so it can flex for ball speed without collapsing, and it absorbs the harsh vibration a hollow head would otherwise produce. The result is a fast face that still feels and sounds like a forged iron rather than an empty tin can at impact.
Low and mid handicappers who want a clean, compact iron with a little distance help. It suits players coming down from the P790 who wanted something smaller, and it works well in a combo set where you want easier-launching long irons and precise short irons. If you need maximum forgiveness above all else, look at a larger iron instead.
