The new TaylorMade P770 iron blends distance with forgiveness in a compact players head shape.

TaylorMade's P790 irons have sold to everyone from +4 to 24-handicappers, but the brand know 30% of golfers who’ve brought a set are low single figures (seven) and below, which is who these new hollow-body irons are aimed at.

P770 irons are for better players who want the extra pop that fast face technology delivers, but in a smaller package. The Carlsbad-based brand have used the DNA recipe (great performance, fantastic sound and feel and gorgeous looks) of P790 in designing the new multi-material P770, and they’re very excited about pitching the siblings against each other.
 

Thanks to weaker lofts than the P790 iron, TM say the P770 irons launch higher and spin more, yet give up virtually no carry distance. The body is cast from 8620 carbon steel, like lots of modern wedges, but a fast, forged 4140 steel face, speed pocket and internal speed foam guarantee great ball speed, sound and feel.

There’s minimal offset and a thin top line, but thanks to 46g of tungsten being positioned internally the centre of gravity is lower, and you get improved stability.



 

What you need to know about the P770 iron

Tour-inspired shaping

When you’ve got three of the five best golfers on the planet on staff, you obviously get their input into any new player's iron design. TaylorMade say the new P770 is very close in shape to the previous P760 iron, just with a slightly longer blade length. Expect a thin topline and minimal hosel offset as well as a super clean look at address. TM refer to this model as a compact player's distance iron.
 

Forged hollow body construction

The new P770 iron has a multi-material head with a cast 8620 carbon steel body (the material most commonly used in wedges today) and a forged 4140 face. Up to 46g of tungsten weighting is strategically positioned towards the toe to help create a high launching ball flight, and add stability. Ultra-light speed SpeedFoam inside improves sound and feel, whilst also pushing the irons thin face tech to it's limits.
 

Straight through Speed Pocket

A Thru Slot Speed Pocket in the sole means the bottom of the face is not attached to the sole, the idea increases face flex and and improves ball speed, particularly when shots are hit low on the face. Just like TaylorMade SIM drivers there's also Inverted Cone Technology to improve ball speed retention on off-centre hits.
