The TaylorMade P790 is a players distance iron released in 2023, designed for mid-handicappers (typically 8-18 HCP) who want the look and feel of a players' iron with added distance from a hollow or partially hollow construction. These irons bridge the gap between workability and forgiveness. The 2023 model's 7-iron is lofted at 31°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

The TaylorMade P790 features a hollow or semi-hollow construction that allows for a thinner, faster face and lower CG while preserving a players' address profile. Technology from the game-improvement category meets the aesthetic of players' irons. At impact it delivers energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer.
The TaylorMade P790'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.
The TaylorMade P790 (2023) 7-iron has a loft of 31°. This sits in a moderate range that provides a good balance of distance and traditional gapping.
The TaylorMade P790 is a players distance iron, designed for mid-handicappers (typically 8-18 HCP). Handicaps roughly in the 8 to 18 range benefit most from this design.
The TaylorMade P790 pitching wedge is 45°. A 50° gap wedge and 54° sand wedge would create clean separation. If you play a 60° lob wedge, a 46° and 52° pairing also works.
The TaylorMade P790 is designed to feel energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer. If you are transitioning from a blade or players cavity, expect a slightly more muted, springy sensation.
The TaylorMade P790 (2023) represents a recent previous generation of this model. They are typically still stocked at a discount, and widely available used.
Playable, with a caveat. The TaylorMade P790 is a players distance design. Its category typically suits 8 to 18 handicaps. A 20-plus handicap will get more help from a game improvement model.
