TAYLORMADE P790 IRONS
The 2019 edition of TM’s new P790 irons are schizophrenic in a good way: they offer a mid-handicapper the requisite forgiveness but look and feel like a classic blade. That way you can sport the look of a scratch golfer (assuming your ’drobe is on-point) while enjoying the advantages of a hollow, foam-filled head that supports the very thin (1.75mm in some places) face. The resultant combo of strength and flex at impact improves ball speed, promotes a softer feel and delivers loads of feedback. A tungsten weight increases moment of inertia, and TM’s proprietary Speed Pocket in the sole ensures a solid hit, even when the ball strikes the face too low. A lighter Dynamic Gold 105 shaft sheds 25 grams from its predecessor, and with its forged face delivers admirable distance, forgiveness and workability – the holy trinity of the golf club cosmos.
