Just brought a set of 2024 P790’s 5-PW irons after a fitting they came out tops of all the other brands and I tested them all. The QI 10 was longest but the P790 felt the best.
TM were at my local range today. My 1” long 3 degrees upright Ping G’s were carrying just under 150 with a hook, P790 with 1” long MMT shafts with standard lie were consistently over 160 with a draw. I want to get fitted for Mizuno MP225s but properly tempted to pull the trigger on some P790s now.
So just to clarify on the 4 irons. The new club is launching around 2 degrees lower, spinning around 900 rpms less and the peak height is 10-15 feet lower and for what?? 5-10 yards more distance? If you need more ball speed than yes, look into these clubs. But the better player is going to prefer more spin and peak height so they can hold the firmer greens easier. I can hold a flat green with my 4 iron and have it spin back a little on a soft green or just roll forward a couple feet on a firmer green. Running a ball up to a green is way tougher to judge than landing a mortar round on it and having stopping power. Now some of you have to change your ball to make these clubs work for you 😂
Thats what I was thinking... you are getting less peak height and less spin for virtually no extra distance. Not to mention an iron with 4 degrees less loft is simply just gonna be harder to strike no matter how "forgiving" it may be.
How's it coming for you? I just ordered a set after ordering just a pw and hit it better than my QI pw then I got to looking at the lenght difference in the two and liked the lenght of the 790s through the bag instead of having the longer(lenght wise) QI's...I hope you like them and I hope they work for me if not I guess I'll have a backup!😂
Great review Trottie and a fabulous looking iron. I’m playing Stealth 2 which I love but might well upgrade to P790. I’m a senior handicap goes between 15-16 but know many 18-24 handicappers using the P790. This has to be the iron that can be played from single to high handicappers but also the best looking iron in golf. Couple this with a Taylormade ball a marriage in heaven.
I just got to play with the P790 today and absolutely love them. Thanks for the great video it was the reason I bought them. Oh by the way I figured Trottie was getting paid by Taylor made but they were exactly like he described them. Nothing is wrong will selling something you believe in.
Great review! Just what I needed to hear. Just been fitted for P790, and ordered a set… it’s not easy deciding what to get, your comments have made me happy I’ve made the right choice! Can’t wait to get out playing with them now ⛳️
I just want to ask how many times a round your going to need to shape a shot vs how many times a round your going to want the consistency of the forgiveness of p790-p770
I think if you're a 790 PLYR you should check them out. The Flighted CG part for me with the 770's I use in the 3i was huge. I have added a 4i in that model as a result of that tech. That part alone is worth looking at
Hey mate what do you think of the x100 130g shafts are people playing lighter shafts these days I’m getting 7000 rpm on a 7 iron should I be looking for a bit less to handle the wind better ? Cheers 🍻
What head is that and what's your launch? I like the 7000 number but depends on the launch and the loft on the blade. X1's are obv the OG but man they're heavy.
@@trottiegolf not sure about launch I will get it looked at but the ball has a lot of float time in the air, it would be nice to bring the ball down a bit, kbs in x flex I would lose 20 yards on a 7 iron strange isn’t it, thanks mate
Lost me a bit on the 4 iron, lower peak height and sometimes only 1 or 2 yards longer, seems to go against what your saying on higher and landing softer
With less spin and stronger lofts, the landing angle will be steeper than that of a club with more spin. With the steeper landing angle, it makes it easier it is to hold a green.
@@ianmikowski662how are you saying the P790 is steeper when his apex with his normal 4 iron was 91 feet and the P790 was 76? It’s coming into the greens lower and with less spin. Am I wrong?
@@JohnnyButtercuts I thought it was the other way around that the 790 was higher peak height than his 770. But also I was just responding to the question in a general sense as well.
@@ianmikowski662 it's not loft for loft. The P790 is quite a bit stronger in loft yet still launches similar, I could have tiled launch opposed to peak
Trottie, what do you think about the idea of a yearly fitting membership? Annual cost, that allows for 4 (quarterly) high level fittings with equipment changes (at no additional cost) to accommodate for swing and feel changes? With so much marketing and constant videos of new equipment along with grinders of their game people want to stay current. Especially after review videos like these but don’t want to rebuy or simply swap out heads and want a full experience of testing numbers without the “golf is expensive” restriction.
PGAT average is 160 with 113 SS..... You had to be swinging it at around 125 for a 180yd... those hollow body irons throw curve balls.. can't trust them.
Is this your channel or TaylorMade’s? I know you have a contract with them (not sure if exclusive, which think it is), but your channel is basically just an infomercial full of bias. I get it though is how you get paid…make your money. I just hope people understand that when watch your videos. It’s funny because I always thought by law you had to state that this is sponsored content since you are paid by them for TH-cam vids? You and TaylorMade might have some fun exposure since I may have missed the disclosure for your vids. Just be open about it and I don’t think many people would care if they know clearly you are being paid by TaylorMade for your vids.
He’s invaluable to TM as a salesman - also has cool headcovers I might add.

Just got fitted for P790's last weekend, progressing from a set of super game improvement irons, eagerly waiting for them to arrive now

Hey mate is there a particular reason you have changed from using trackman to the full swing launch monitor?
I hope you are safe from the storms.
Shooting consistently around a 86-92 with the ping g425 irons. Wondering if it’s time to switch over to these or just keep working with what I got.
Sounds like you need to work on your short game

The guy on the chipping range has a death wish.

is it only me or is it rory practicing in the pink shirt on the right?

I worked on tour for TaylorMade for 18 yrs, solid brand, great products. When you like the stuff you like the stuff
Seems to blow up this idea that stronger lofts are needed because the newer tech hits it so high.
Well done Chris 👏
Why you using graphite shafts? I just been fitted p790 with steel but only have swing speed of 72mph?
These are not my gamers:

Great review! Just what I needed to hear.

Can’t wait to get out playing with them now ⛳️
Love me some Trottie!!
I loved these clubs in my fitting. I wanted the T150s but these performed way too well.
Just ordered P790, first time I’ve ordered anything other than Mizuno, can’t wait to get them out on the course
Full swing Kit LM?? Interesting if so , I’m in the market for that price point and was looking at that or the gc3
Great video, all your videos are great.
👊
Geez. The glazing.... can we get a disclaimer
I have p-790s there golden and I love them so much more
What shaft is he using?
Haha, I'm almost positive Trottie called them P7MBs and they had to dub the "Cs" over the video at :48
I absolutely did.....🤣 Great catch. A rare whiff for me 🙋♂
I just want to ask how many times a round your going to need to shape a shot vs how many times a round your going to want the consistency of the forgiveness of p790-p770
PLYR dependent and skill level dependent
Hey trottie do you do fitting for every level golfer such as myself. I shoot 87-90 or do you only do low to professional golfers
At the mo only elite PLYR's but Kingdom is open for biz if you speak to your rep and try and get in
Got fitted for these a month or two ago, and have been loving them!
They just came out a week ago lol
Solid sticks to be fair
@@trottiegolf It seems as though they fixed the flyer issue, and if thats the case they're all around the best irons on the market IMO.
@@craciunator99 consistent yardages was 100% in their focus on this one
Is that road further away than it looks, I see you and others testing Driver there and it look reachable! 😅
You can get there on the right, hence why I always hit left, it's usually into the prevailing wind
Got mine and love them 🔥
would you say these are a huge upgrade from the 2021 p790?

@@Blackirish__ I'd need more info but can help you with the data
@@trottiegolf the 770 heads look amazing might upgrade from my srixon z765
Lost me a bit on the 4 iron, lower peak height and sometimes only 1 or 2 yards longer, seems to go against what your saying on higher and landing softer
But less loft on blade, to be fair I could have bent my 4 iron to the same loft, might have been a more accurate comparison.
@@trottiegolfthanks for the reply, yeah I think it would have been good to see an apples for apples comparison. Love the videos either way. Keep it up
4 iron Peak height is nowhere near close. Spin is lower. Distance hardly different. Great advert for the p770, not the p790
Could someone explain why stronger lofts and less spin would help with holding greens? I don’t understand that part. Thanks.
With less spin and stronger lofts, the landing angle will be steeper than that of a club with more spin. With the steeper landing angle, it makes it easier it is to hold a green.

Yea like it, pretty sure MyTM+ has something along those lines
i really liked my P790 but i would get an 8 iron going 180 out of nowhere.. went with T11s this year might go to Pmc next year

We all know that he is a taylormade guy, its pretty obvious because thats all he covers. He is a paid taylormade staffer.
You have a smooth brain.
