TaylorMade P790 Irons

Few irons have been copied as widely as the P790 and the current version holds the formula. Chromoly face, multi-material hollow head, 30 degree 7-iron, 4-PW in either hand. KBS Tour Lite is the stock steel and Mitsubishi's MMT comes in 65 and 75 gram graphite, with flexes running senior through X-stiff. Golf Pride's Z-Grip is standard.

The senior flex option is worth noticing on a set with this reputation, because it signals how broad the audience has become. P770 sits three degrees weaker in a smaller head for players who want the shape more than the yardage, which is a real preference rather than vanity. Below both, TaylorMade's Qi range takes over the game improvement work. P790 remains the obvious first try for a mid handicap who wants an iron that still looks the part.
