TaylorMade P790 Irons
Forged face, hollow body
A distance iron that looks like a blade the moment you set it down. We keep it on the rack beside the i230 and the JPX925 Forged, because most players guess wrong between the three until they hit all of them.
£1,499
7 clubs, 4 to PW
Worth fitting before you buy it. The session fee comes off the price, and we will say so if it makes no difference.

Who it suits
Mid handicap and better. Players who want the extra club of carry without a shovel behind the ball.
Distance you can still aim
- Hollow body
- Forged face
- Blade profile at address
- 01Seven clubs, 4 iron to pitching wedge, is the set that leaves the shop most often.
- 02Lofts run stronger than a traditional set, so the gap to your wedges is the thing to check.
- 03Steel or graphite. On this head the shaft changes more than the head does.
- 04Lie angle is set on the bench before it goes in the bag, at no extra cost.
From behind the counter
Three shafts in the same head. The difference is eleven yards of dispersion, and nobody believes it until they see the screen.

On the bench beside it
