The TaylorMade 2019 P790 irons offer improvement not only in the look of the club but overall performance.
Still packing the Speedfoam injected inside the hollow head, this gives the ultra-thin (7% thinner) new forged 4140 face the support it needs to generate higher ball speeds and better feel. Slightly thinner topline and anti-digging sole for better turf interaction.
By the numbers
Increased sweet spot by 22% for better performance on off-center hits. Slightly smaller heads from 7 iron on down for a more pleasing look.
Higher launch for better drop and stop on the green with longer irons.
Available in 3-PW, AW both Left and Right handed.
Our Take
While we only had the ability to hit the demo clubs with the Dynamic Gold 105 VSS shaft, we all liked the look and the feel. Could not really tell much about launch comparison versus the 2017 P790 so that remains to be seen in our fittings. As with most major manufacturers, all of the heads in the set are individually designed so the loft increments look a little different, i.e. 2 to 3 degrees between 3, 4, 5 and 6 irons and then 4-5 degrees between 7, 8, 9, PW and GW. The increase in pricing is reflected from increased material and design costs.
Definitely a step up from the original 2017 version, in our opinion!!
