By far the best looking of the P790 iterations. This screams for a P790 vs P770 comparison
I've been playing the gen 1 irons for 3 seasons and still love them. The long irons are hot and the short irons are consistent - exactly what I like. Probably won't switch until the grooves wear out.
Love the vids guys, I have the gen 2s and they’ve been good to me. When they’re sitting in the bag they look gorgeous which gives me confidence somehow.
Thanks for the advice guys! I kept the 2019 model but I changed my gofball to the 2021 Pro V1 X. Spin increases and height. No need for the new investmet for the 2021 P790. Would not have been able to do this without your youtube channel. Your show empowers the golfer with knowledge. Thank you!
Just got my p790s delivered today. Got fitted at my local Golf Champion. Ended up going with the steel fiber i95 shafts, and ended gaining roughly 15-18 yards per club. So consistent, getting fit is so worth it!
How long did it take to get your P790s after you were fitted? I’m getting fitted soon and I was just wondering
@@blake7799 it took about 3 weeks total for them to arrive.
Been playing the whole 2022 season with the new p790s and I love them. I carry 5i-AW with Cleveland rtx zip core 54 and 58 wedges. I noticed they mark up easily on the finish so I’ve used iron covers the whole season to avoid bag chatter. I clean them often- they are mint! 7i carry 170yd
As a scratch golfer, I love my gen 3 P790's......had them in the bag for 6 months now with KBS Tour S shafts and they've made a massive difference to my game. Added 10 yards to each club but crucially I've been able to retain spin (Prov1x) 👍 These clubs are not just for higher handicappers, so if you're a low handicapper, wanting a little help from your irons, I highly recommend.
Cracking content as always Team TXG 👏
Great review. Looking forward to your 2021 UDI P790 review!
Just been fitted for the new 2021 P790 gen3’s and they are awesome. Fell soft and powerful. So easy to hit and so SO forgiving. Give them a try if you get a chance!!
Great stuff gents. Always see what you guys make of new product for an honest, deep, deep dive into the technology, the feel, and the resulting data.
These are on the list when I get fitted to replace my old Mizuno MP32's. Would love to be able to hit like Matty, being a fellow lefty! Great review as usual...
I watch this channel so much I was anticipating the video!
Got fit for these today at my club by Taylormade reps. Very impressed with the clubs AND the reps. Was playing 921 hot metals and I gotta say the P790s out performed them. I tend to get a little too shallow at times and loose distance with the 921s. I tried steep and shallow shots with the p790s and the turf interaction was really good either way (on real grass), 162-165 yd (7i) consistently. This was all done after playing 18 in 90° heat, was worried I would be too worn out to put good swings on during this fitting, but these clubs made it easy even with varying strikes. Never thought I would replace a one year old set of irons but it was a no brainer for me. Definitely do it through a fitter, they put me 2° flat and dialed my ball flight right in.
These guys are the best. I can listen to them talk golf all day.
Great content as usual guys, loved the video. Would love to see a video with P770/790 combo and how you’d manage the distance gapping you spoke about in the video. I have always been interested in seeing the benefits of a combo set after seeing the multiple recommended combos by TM online.
I really like how the new P790 looks more like the P770. Currently game the 2019 P790 but have been interested in the P770 since release. Love the channel, keep up the great work!
Thanks for updating new irons. Please compare 2021 taylormade p790 with 2021 titleist T200.
These are a big improvement on the previous model(s) aesthetics but I wish they had beveled and polished the top line to make it appear thinner.
2 things: could we get a comparison to the T200? Can you do it with AL back and forth or split screen?
Nice vid, gents! Guessing these show up in every other witb IG post I see going forward now!
Love the p790s and have had the OG ones for 3 years now. Went from a 8 marker down to a 4. So forgiving and great for people that aren't the best ball strikers.
Great video showing the difference. I have gen 1 and I'm interested in changing them this year. My one gripe with them is that periodically I'll hit a shot well but it'll drop well short of where I'm expecting. Difficult to tell what the problem is as I've done this from perfect lies and not just the rough. Any guesses? Keep up the great content :)
Very informative review. Thanks TXG!
would even love to see a comparison to the original versions. I have the original p790 5-7 and they are just the easiest irons I've ever hit.
2021 P790's coming in tomorrow. Had the bag fitted top to bottom. Excited to dissect my game.
That sound great. I just don’t love the hallow body iron. I’m not high spin anyway. These look great though
Lovely stuff as always!
I still play my 15 year old Nike pro combos. They are the best. 👏👏👏
A good 4i option (maybe even 5i) to stretch top of the bag
Please do a milled grind 3 60 ,56 high and low bounce test for both
I got fitted for the 2019 P790s about 3 months ago. Due to covid related delays, they just arrived last Friday. I had no idea an update was even coming. What a pain in the ass.
I feel ya...but it is Taylor Made. They update product more than Microsoft
Ohhhh harsh speak to TM they may sort for you ...enjoy new irons though
@@petekenny3774 Oh I'm very happy with my irons. If guys like Matty can barely see a difference, I would never be able to.
This is what I want for the titleist t200 2019 vs 2021
Thoughts on making the whole set a degree or two weaker. I would prefer p770 lofts but want the forgiveness of the p790s. I don't want to hit my 6i over 200 yards. Would weakening the lofts make the ball fly too high?
Probably be more interesting to see difference between version 1 and the new version as guess might be more noticeable differences and maybe more like the window where people could change irons
This is where you come when you want a in depth review of clubs
When you announced this yesterday I was intrigued. But what really caught my attention was hearing Ping was sending you something special. I’m playing the i10 irons and needing replacements soon.
Must be the I59 Forged Blades is my guess
Why you need replacement soon? Are you a tour pro and grind 8 hours a day on the course or range? No, so just us the irons the next 6 years
@@bigbluemsp i would assume so especially because they have been used on tour for a while now.
@@therookiemistake9714Anyone can buy new irons if they want to there doesn't need to be a reason.
@@wyattsmall5196 true
love em !!! ,, been playing the 2019 version for 2 years but with this satin finish ,, oh baby !!! ordered and waiting ( could be a while im told :-( ) great job guys !
Is it fair to say that the player these irons are targeted wouldn’t be able to strike the ball well enough to say whether the differences came from the clubs or the person using them?
Could you guys test out the 2019 p790 UDI against the 2021 version and see if there is much a difference? Please! Love your guys videos!!
Would be interesting to see a comparison between similar clubs, like T200, Srixon ZX5 and the new P790.
Great video, thanks.
Has this new generation of speedfoam, in combination with the other P790 design features, finally given the consumer a TRUE forgiving "players style" iron that doesn't have that 5-10% chance of blasting an iron shot 15 yards further than your average? If I recall, previous generations of many manufacturers' hollow body irons all had that same issue. If so, this iteration really is a great response to manufacturing a club that every handicap can benefit from!
If you have the 2017 model prob worth a change if you have 2019 don't think I would bother 👌👌 nice looking irons though
U guys are up too 163k subscribers! Lets get that counter behind you updated! Lol
Gen 1 will always reign supreme!
Just played first round with my Gen 3’s love them great consistency
How long did it take to get them delivered? Been hearing about major delays. Also, did you get them with different shafts? Or did the stock shafts work just fine?
@@Loui_Vizcarra I was very lucky ordered them from Scottsdale who in formed me Taylormade had none of the the Project X 5.5 shafts until November, but the sourced them direct and built the clubs i got them within 10 days. Can’t recommend them enough
Thoughts on the sound and feel of 2021 vs 2019. Currently own the 2019 model. Worth the upgrade?
I’ve played gen 1 black and now gen 2 black. Waiting for mizuno to drop a murdered iron and I’m switching 😛
So they were officially released by TM the same week that their factory in Asia shut down due to Covid. Current delivery date on orders placed by fitters = mid-December! Wait a dew days and that date will be 2022.
These revisions are interesting
Cool video guys! Can I ask what shaft Matt was hitting with here?
How does the sole width compare between the 2019 model and the 2021? I have the 2019s and I'm a picker of the ball? I don't like the turf interaction.
These would make a really nice combo with the p770s for the player like me who needs forgiveness but still values that sleek look (no chunky cavity, etc)
They do basically look the same!!, buying 2 corvettes, 1 with a 6 cylinder and one with a turbo charged v8…both look the same from the outside.👍
Ian: Speedfoam is 69% lighter
Me: Nice
Said the same thing😂
Count me in lol
Honestly, Props to TM staff. They know what they're doing when they sent out the improvement figures. lol
Based on this conversation around the 11 min mark. Does less spin = less control in terms of left and right dispersion? Less spin = more axis tilt?
I always loved the Mavrik Pro in this category. And MSRP of like $799, now probably less.
Had them and they were pretty good but I went to PXG 0311P/T combo. Mavrik Pro was just a little too hot on the short irons & I wanted narrower soles.
I have a friend who's a 1hdcp who plays the Mavrik Pros & loves them. They're good clubs, just didn't quite suit me.
very nice review.
That’s my general issue with players distance clubs. I want to be able to perceive my exact strike location. For Matt, as skilled as he is, to have difficulty feeling where his strikes are, that’s a bit concerning for me in this iron.
Surely that’s the trade off for forgiveness? The face becomes more detached from feel. However I do agree with your issue
I was going to wait for the 2021 P790's but I ended up going with the Cobra Forged Tec and I'm not disappointed. They perform just as well as the previous P790's at a reduced cost
I have been looking at the forged tec irons as well. I feel they perform just as good as p790. I’m playing TM rocketbladez right now but really would like to switch to Forged Tec or P790 irons.
@@ariesnc6320 Yes they perform identical to the P790. From every review I saw they'd always compared the Forged Tec to the 790. I've had them now for a few months and I'm so happy with them. I do need to have the lie angle adjusted but other then that they are perfect. Plus I saved like 500+ $
@@JesseOfficialSketch Have you used the Arcoss sensors/ app and if so is that added feature a benefit ? I have never been fitted for a set of irons. I probably should. Currently shoot a score of 80-85 .
@@ariesnc6320 I've only used the sensors for the past 2 rounds so currently not getting the full benefit of the app but after i think 2-3 more rounds it will have enough data to start helping my game, it already has told me i'm losing strokes in the 120-150 approach distance. Arccos sent me a box with 8 additional sensors to set up all my other non Cobra clubs so because I was waiting I couldn't use the app for any of my rounds this season. Getting fitted is the proper thing for sure. I wasn't for the Forged Tec but I asked the guy that fit me for my driver if the shaft was ok and he gave me the all clear based on what he saw from me at a demo day. I just need to go back for a gap/lie session most likely in the winter
Would you switch from Gen 1 to Gen 3? Is there enough improvement to make that switch in your opinion?
It will be nice to see a comparison between all the new product manufactures in this category.
The 2019 6-iron sounded so much louder. Did that possibly result because the contact was higher on the face?
Is there any change to the upright angle or perhaps the weight distribution within the club possibly account for the contact point change?
Look quite like P770, what are your thoughts on playing P790 on 4 iron to try and stretch out the gap between 4 and 5 iron where find the gapping closes a little. I know that I might need to tweak the loft a little as playing P770 1deg weak.
Please test all 3 gens. Lot's of people with gen 1 probably didn't upgrade to gen 2. But perhaps there's enough of a difference to consider updating. Also, why can't they just round off the topline so they don't look so flat and thick? Seems like a no brainer???
Based on the testing it feels like these might cannibalize on the P770s? Or are the differences still quite noticeable?
Im currently using the Nike vapor fly irons and Im wondering if I should change them to a newer set of irons. With a handicap of 24, what kind of irons should I consider? I love the looks of p790 and the Ping i500. What do you reckon?
I think I need these irons...
I don’t understand why you would blend these with the 770s. It’s the same tech and overall concept… why not just get mg3s for PW-60?
Would love to see a comparison between the 2021 P790 and the 2021 T200. Looking to get into a new set of irons and these two have my attention
Exactly. Maybe make a full hollow body comparison with all the different brands out there
May I ask is it normal to have high bounce on 8,9,pw and aw . Higher bounce than my wedges on pw and aw
So what do you mean by "the type of player that needs to use this iron"... is that not Matt? Three shots in a row with an 8-iron he strayed 12mm+ on the face, yet produced three nearly identical shots. 6-iron almost the same story. Apex height retained even as the loft goes down. Not sure what more you'd want from a club when the goal is to shoot the lowest scores possible?
Great video
My biggest issue with these clubs is not being able to really tell where you are hitting it on the face. Yes for the average golfer who just wants decent forgiveness and performance these are great, but I've always felt knowing exactly where you hit the ball on the face can help improve your game. Feedback is important for players who want to improve and these just didn't seem to provide that (at least when I tested them out).
If you hit it low or a little off the toe, yet it goes the same distance or within your normal variance, does it really matter where you hit it on the face?
@@patrickscribner For those who are trying to improve their ball striking, not knowing where you hit it off the face will hinder improvement. The goal for most golfers is to be able to play with "players" irons to be as consistent as possible. These do not provide that consistency.
Pure Professionals!
I may have missed it but what shaft is in these that you're testing?
Remind me of the Honma TW-X irons which I love, and are available for a steal currently.
How do they call that a forged club? Is it just the face forged? When I think of forged I think of endo forging.
Now yall gotta do a t200 vz p790
I liked 2019 p790
But then I fall in love with SRIXON ZX5
How do the TM p790 compare to the 2021 Srixon ZX5 irons
Ian feel free to send me a set on the 21s. Been really interested in these w the DG 105 X100
Great video, what I don’t understand is when you’d switch from something like this to more of a players iron, at what point is your ball striking so good that you should trade that forgiveness and consistency for shaping and feel?
whenever you as a player feel that something that isn’t as workable is hurting your game is some way. If you find yourself always trying to draw/fade into pins, around trees, etc. then something more players like would be a lot better if your ballstriking can handle it. I play the 2021 apex pro’s because they’re forgiving enough for me and as a shallow player, I needed a thinner sole with less bounce. It’s also interesting that the more i use thin clubs like the apex pro, the bigger they start to look 😂
@@JDPGH7 looking forward to the days that my ball striking is so good that I’m worried about shaping and not about chunking 😅
Marty McFly: Hey, I’ve seen this one before!
Subtle improvements over the Gen 2 model, make this a classy-looking club.
It would be interesting to see how the P790 compares with the new Titleist T200 & T300
P790 vs T200 !!
ZX5 too!
@@mattwilliams3104 yep
@@joelane2845 good idea Joe👍
I'd love to see P790 v T200 as well, but with Matt swinging both sides so golfers like me with slower swing speeds can also relate.
Are you testing the p790 udi?
They look really good.. should we expect - new 770?
The most recent 770 released just last year. Maybe another year or two?
I'm really struggling to get distance with my p790 2021 pw 100yrds 9i 120yrds 8i 131yrds my 7iron swing speed is 80-85mph I've not tested swing speed with lower clubs my driver swing speed is 105-110.
I have recently got the last gen ones, now im disappointed I want the new ones now
How do they compare to P770?
But the internal stuff , I guess the rubber buffer , getting old and stiff easily soon ?
does this mean no more 770?
This is awesome.
not a big fan of taylor made irons overall. trying out the mini driver this weekend
My issue with the original 790 (@ 6.3 handicap) was my gap between the 7iron and 8iron. My 8 would carry 160 and 7 would go 190. What to do when 175 out?
Man i thought I was nuts but I have a huge gap between my 9iron and 8iron!! 8iron carry 155 9iron only like 135. Its a small thing but strange.
Hit a big 8
Agreed. I demo’d the 2nd version and had a huge gap between 7 and 8 The gap from 8-9 was too big for my liking too. I don’t need to hit a 7 iron 210.
@@mhawkesworth but then you look awesome to your buddies.
Does a basketballer say, " oops sorry guys i was in between shots" ?
What shaft did you use for this?
I saw both the 2021 vs the 2019 in person today. I normally trust what these guys are saying, but i completely disagree with Matty. The 2021s are objectively thicker than the 2019s, very similar to the 2017s which I had gamed. The topline on the heel side is more raised than the 2019 too. There is visually more offset in the 2021, (similar with 2017) compared to the 2019. It seems like taylormade just changed the back of the iron, but went with the overall headshape as the 2017 model.
If they make them in Matte Black imma buy hella fast
I'm 21 handicap, can I use this?
I’m having an internal struggle. The boys at TXG are going to test out the 💎💎💎 heads from callaway and knowing them they will hit them well. Buy one now before they sell out or buy one on Golf WRX after most members realize for the 10th time that they are not you gents? Kinda like the 10 1k 50TX shafts floatin’ around on there…
Srixon z745/765?? 🤔🤔🤔
Are these fake blades? I mean cast cavity backs which are made to look like forged blades? I haven't looked at clubs since buying my Ping cavity backs in 2000! Seems like the tech. may have moved along a fair amount.
I’m a 16 handicap and my mind is leaning toward getting more traditional lofted irons. This strong lofted stuff kinda turns me off. I don’t want more distance, I want a steeper angle into the green to stop the ball. I’m always playing the front green distance to accommodate roll out. Any advice or input is welcome from all.
10:55 they are speaking directly to my comment. 🤣😁
Look at T100, P7MC, Mizuno 921 Tour, or PXG 0311T. I got the PXG gen3s for similar price as the others I listed and they're awesome.
@@canyonaro Awesome. I will check those out. Thanks for the reply. Cheers!
