Hey y'all - appreciate the commitment to teaching. One thing to note - I am really really struggling to hear you guys. I've got the volume cranked all the way up. Volume on other channels is no issue. I've often got the same problem on James' own channel.
I’d love to see something on beginner sets, I know you’ve compared them on your other channels but I’d love to see guides for total beginners turning up at a shop or going online like I did to get their first set of clubs and balls. Great content lads.
James, enjoying the channel. loving this video - those Taylormade irons look pretty amazing. I'm looking to get fit for these over the winter, possibly at Tour Issue Golf in York. You have mentioned the new announcement, what abut a golf school with you both, whereby we could get a slightly longer time to work on our game, maybe just a day or 2 (or 3!!!).
Love this channel guys and follow both your individual channels. I top a driver,3 wood & 7 wood virtually every time hit take the club out of my bag. I mainly use a 1 iron or 4 iron off the tee but find I'm losing distance to my playing partners and therefor hitting a longer iron into greens. I'm in Australia and have a HC of 21. I'm just about ready to give up golf due to the embarrassment of not getting away on the 1st tee. Can you help me??????
I am hitting a combo set with the P770 3&4 irons, and then the P7MC 5-PW. I love this set and have had them for 2 months. Since then I have shaved 2 strokes off my handicap from a 4.6 to a 2.4.
Absolutely loving the new channel. I look forward to what’s coming. I am a person that likes to collect data on my game. I had used GameGolf Live for a few years, until it crapped out on me and I lost ALL of my data. I am now using Arccos during my rounds and a Swing Caddie SC 300i on the range. Would you be willing to, at a cost, look at some videos of swings and look at the data to assist with what needs to be worked on, and then perhaps offering assistance on those things. My question is this: would you be willing to take on a set of lessons and use collected data to assist during those lessons?
Il like these kind of reviews. But I am also curious to see how older clubs like the TM PSi compare to these clubs. Such an assessment would help me to decide to keep on playing the PSi or buy a new set. Could you do such a test?
Love this channel, I can't stop blading my chip/pitch shots! One thought that's helped a bit is just to hit the ground under the ball, can you do a video on how to strike these shots
18 HC here and I now play the P760s after playing 2018 Apex MBs for a year and I totally agree with your assessment that the P770s are perfect for low/mid/high HC as they deliver great looks and exceptional forgiveness over cavity backs and MB. With my P760s I'm not losing 30 yards from a toe strike. I know when I miss hit but my playing partners have no clue as my ball still gets there. On another note, both of you have such drastically different looking swings and yet you both perform so similarly to each other. Goes to show that contact is the only thing that really matters.
I think a lot of golfers in my position would like to k ow this: I hit my driver between 260 and 290 yards, with an inevitable crappy shot mixed in at 240. I can hit my irons pretty well 166 for a 7 iron, nothing amazing, but good enough. My strokes come in the scoring zone. Inside 50 yards and putting is where my handicap gets bottled. I am looking to replace my Nike Vapor Pro Combos with a newer set. I feel that the right set for me would be the P7-MC as I am NOT looking for a distance club, and the inconsistencies that can come from those. Getting fitted is an option, but even that (in New York City) is off of a mat. So how do I know if I want to drop $1,600 on these? Or, would I be safer just going with the 770s and dealing with changing my distances? Also, one thing that I think is over-looked when looking at irons. When I stand over a smaller iron head, with a thinner top line, I love it. That gives me the confidence to hit a good shot BECAUSE I am looking down at a better player club. I know I can hit it and THAT makes me feel like I am miles better than I actually am. I came from a set of TM R7s and looking down on that fatty made me think, “eh, I can swing it however and the club will help me.” Getting the Nikes actually made me a better player.
Enjoying the content, very entertaining and informative (as are both your own channels). I think most golfers would benefit from more content on course management - preferably not don't hit driver type videos, we know the stats seldom support the "don't hit driver" approach - for handicap golfers at least.
I am just a 10 handicap golfer and I recently switched to Mizuno blades. I found them no more difficult to hit than my 921 Forged irons. My ball striking is improving rapidly from concentrating on strike. Despite the weaker lofts they are flying only slightly shorter while flying higher and spinning more with significantly steeper landing angles. My feeling is that slight mishits don’t perform much differently from the 921s while big mishits won’t do well with either. I think the difficulty of playing blades is exaggerated.
I have a very similar experience -- went from a 15 to a 3 handicap in about a year from going from P790 to P7MB -- definitely need distance on my 4 and 5, but my 4 still goes 200 and will never ever go long! Also, strangely enough, I was launching the blades lower and with less spin than the rest of the lot! Go figure! My favorite part about the mishits is that they aren't smashed into the next dimension, they tend to land short of OB!
@@Kirktown Yea that point I made before. When you do mishit, you actually want it to go shorter, its better because much more often than not, it will be short of the hazard or OB instead. Been playing with Taylor Made M2 irons for 5 years, and good clubs yes, but their distance is very inconsistent. If I hit it well I sometimes get an extra kick, going 5+ meters longer, which often goes over the green, and I don't like the feeling to them either. I switched to Titleist mb's this season and i'm loving them so far. Always been a good ball striker and a much better golfer now than 5 years ago (from 14 hcp to around 7,5 now) but still, I love the feel and extra consistency and in my opinion they aren't that much harder to hit. Obviously, blades are not for everyone it has to be said, but I don't think anyone should instantly disregard them due to being so "difficult", its about hitting it well at the end of the day no matter the club.
I used Hybrids and Long Irons. I think it's a head thing for me because I miss bad with the hybrid but 3-4 iron is straight down the middle more time than not
Interesting take on 4 iron vs hybrid. I carry my 5 iron 180yds, my hybrid 220ish and my 4 iron goes nowhere. Leaves quite a gap. I could try out a 7 wood or another hybrid but really I want to understand why there's such a drop off between 5 and 4 irons.
I just moved to the Callaway Rogue ST Max OS for Game Enhancement Irons.. Help out a lot. These appear to be more Player Version of Irons.. Nothing for 15 Handicap or higher..
They look like great clubs only I wish I could afford them, I wonder if the more expensive club manufacturers will struggle for the next couple of years with most people tightening their belts.
Love the channel. The nemesis remains the same: chipping and pitching in wet, winter, lies. I’m also interested in Chris’ theory about standing more upright with a longer putter as opposed to what I do, which is a bit bent over the ball with a shorter putter: why?
@@thegolfingmusician6345: Fair point. I’m asking him to explain it to all of us. I’m just trying to improve my game, and if this will help, I’d like to know why or why not.
@@garydavis8213 yeah we are all on the eternal quest that never ends my friend. My short game coach is Mark Wise. He’s PGA pro Arron’s father. He taught me the elbows out bent over Nicklaus style. Definitely helped me sink more putts. I used to stand more upright before that. It just works for me. Sometimes I believe with putting that technique needs to suit your eye. Perspective is an important factor here. Everyone’s eye, strength, weak eye strong eye, all matter with that perspective. So I believe what may work for one person won’t necessarily work for another. It’s personal. Just like body types that can affect different swing styles. Shoot low my friend.
You buy whatever clubs you want!!! Tbh either clubs you pick you will most likely will not score better you will score the same. Only way you can score better is the putting and short game or get dialed in from 150-100y and able to keep the tee shots in the fairways. Blades or CB irons don’t really matter that much. Most thing you will see is the loft change. if you hit consistently you can play blades. Tbh if your drives on par4 get you 150 away. You can go 8i or 7i easy. Less loft and offset makes the address look way better imo.
I’m no Pro but I will say from my personal experience. Everyone should get. 4, 5, 6, P790’s 7, 8, 9, P, P7MB’s P790’s have distance and forgiveness for days. 30-50 yards better than the blades P7MB’s for short iron, Accuracy and it digs divots so much smoother and the look is Phenomenal. I have both sets, I play with the blades mainly and the P790’s are for my guest who don’t have clubs. But I do have a P790 - 3 iron. Fairway finder all day 220 yards
It’s a very weird sport. I’m terrible with woods and equally as lucky as unlucky with putting. Completely surgical with the P7MC and MG3’s though. Have all the confidence in the world with those.
Every time I watch a channel test blades the narrative is “unless you’re a plus handicapper you shouldn’t play these”, and then the tester proceeds the stripe the blades and want to put them in the bag. Just play bloody blades if you want to! There’s NOTHING like puring a blade, NOTHING. And it’s worth a few mis hits to get that feeling in my book.
It would be interesting to know the difference between the newest P790 and the 2023 P770? I’m older and have a slower swing speed then you 2. 7 handicap. Was thinking of getting the Ping I525 or Cobra Forged Tec irons. Curious how these would fit in the mix? Ric
I literally just got back from a TaylorMade fitting that my local simulator spot was putting on. I'm relatively newer to golf (3 years or so) and I'm a 14 handicap. I'm currently gaming JPX 921 hot metals (game improvement irons). I went to the fitting because it was free and I was curious if I could hit some more players style irons. My biggest issue right now with my irons is dispursion of distance. My 7 iron can go anywhere from 170 to 210. I started with the p790s. They felt good but were much more similar to my JPX than I was expecting. They were basically just as juiced. With a 7 I think I averaged a 190 carry with them. I just don't need my 7 iron to go 200 yards. I also found that I was turning them over a bit too much. So I went to the 770s. started to like the smaller footprint of the club face. They felt better than the 790s but the result was pretty similar. Still pretty juiced and I found that I was turning it over. Just for laughs the fitter had me try the MCs. As a midhandicapper I did not think I was capable of hitting a bladed club. But to my surprise, they felt amazing. I was striping them. They had a nice consistent ball flight and was now Carrying about 175-180 and going much higher. The fitter seemed just as surprised as me. He then had me try the MBs just to see. And sure enough, they felt even better. Was hitting them great. Even started messing around with shaping the ball and found it really easy. Feels crazy, but he said if I were looking to buy he'd probably put me in the MBs from PW-7 and 770s in 6-4.
Yeah and now go on a course and try out the mb’s one time. Dont get fooled by a simulator because if you didn’t even try real turf interaction you are clueless.
@@Terminader99 well I ended up getting a mixed set of p7MC's PW-7 and p770s 6-4. They feel amazing on course and I just shot my best round ever (78). So I'm happy. Guess ignorance is bliss right? With me being clueless and all.
I got the full p770 set and challenge your corny existence to a match. I shot the score record with a 66 on a champion course. Bet ya wont catch the -8 little fella .
@@ycombine1053 i mean life is more than working out, i switched my clubs from clunky chunky to the p770 and my golf game changed completely. I am glad not to be a golfer like you are haha. It started with me telling you that real turf interaction does matter and you got real sassy. Thats what i call an american golfer btw are you a Trump fanboi?
Oh last but not least, I went from P790’s to P7MB’s because the material quality on the 790’s suck ass. 8 months into playing them and they are scratched to shit. 5 months into the MB’s and they still look brand new. The steel used for the blades is 2 times harder, same process used to make Tiger Woods set minus the name and your getting the same clubs.
To get good at golf, hitting long irons off the tee, any long irons from any brand....USE A TEE! Why miss out on the chance to give yourself the perfect lie? The best players in the world tee their 3i, 4i, and even 5i up with a millimeter or two of the tee showing beneath the ball and you should too.
Blows my mind how biased you all are about blades. The center of the MB is the same size as the center of the 770. Telling everyone to not use them unless you’re the top 1-5 players in the world is ridiculous. You need to do better. You should prolly encourage people to get lessons to improve ball striking instead of down talking a specific club type.
Very repetitive comment about limiting muscle backs to tiger and rory. Some people prefer the feel, look, address, turf interaction, etc of muscle backs or similar. The forgiveness is very overblown. A mistruck cavity will still go array
@@getgoodatgolf Just throwing it out there. Every reviewer I watch says the same, even indicating handicap minimums. Never mention that higher handicap could be due to woods or wedges, for example. I think scaring people away from them would lead to people never trying them which is unfortunate. They're worth a shot for anyone
They are not saying dont buy blades. They are simply saying do not buy blades if you are not good enough to hit them and you want to actually "get good at golf"! It's no coincidence 7 of the top 10 players in the world dont hit blades! It is because they care more about performance and results than looking cool with butter knife blades in the bag! If all you care about is looks and feel or are an ELITE BALLSTRIKER by all means play blades because they are beautiful but remember they only look and sound good when you hit them perfectly out of the middle.
Love the Channel but it seems the content is strongly biased towards the best clubs around. Rather than something for the Guys like myself who can only afford an old set of second hand equipment.
I'm a fan generally but its just silly for reviewers to keep criticizing blades and then hit them as good as the other clubs. You did the same thing with the the review of the 620mb and quite frankly its annoying. Any player can hit a bad shot with any club and rather than discouraging people from playing more traditional clubs maybe you should share with them the truth, first, you cannot buy a good golf swing or a good game, and second a players handicap is far more indicative of their ability on and around the greens than the irons they're playing or should choose.
NONE of these clubs should be used by ANYONE with a handicap over 6-8! These are unforgiving, and will actually make your scores go up! In fact the MC and TW shouldn’t be played by anyone higher than a 0! Those clubs are for tour pros, and NOT low or mid handicap players!
Yeah keep talking pal while i am handicap 25,8 and have no problems. I go the p770 and p7mc combo set and my average round on a links is +1 i am fine with that.
Thanks you guys!! This is a very educational video. Certainly helps from potentially purchasing the wrong irons for a golfers game. 🏌️♂️ TaylorMade does wonderfully with catering to any level of golfer

Is that a taylormade penta tp3? New golf ball or an older version of the tp5's?Great video.
please could you guys do a video on ball position and how to get better contact and consistent strikes
yes we love the channel.. what happened the cart almost go over ??
I really would like to see more drills. I lack consistency and need to use drills to help that.
Love this channel, I can't stop blading my chip/pitch shots! One thought that's helped a bit is just to hit the ground under the ball, can you do a video on how to strike these shots
You should honestly go ground before ball and let the bounce of the club sweep across the ground so your hitting a few groves up

Would love to see a video on how to produce different flights with the same iron

Awesome video, new subscriber
If I wanted to start your average joe golf channel. What would be your top three tips in starting a channel? Should make for a good video!
I need help picking the correct kbs shafts because I am going to buy the takoma 101s.

4, 5, 6, P790’s
7, 8, 9, P, P7MB’s
P790’s have distance and forgiveness for days. 30-50 yards better than the blades
P7MB’s for short iron, Accuracy and it digs divots so much smoother and the look is Phenomenal.
I have both sets, I play with the blades mainly and the P790’s are for my guest who don’t have clubs. But I do have a P790 - 3 iron. Fairway finder all day 220 yards
Got fitted for the p770s lofted a degree weaker to have the ball flight& spin of the MC with the forgiveness of the hollow body
When you're in the tee box and on the fairway the audio is very low. While in the cart the audio was at a good level.
It’s a very weird sport. I’m terrible with woods and equally as lucky as unlucky with putting. Completely surgical with the P7MC and MG3’s though. Have all the confidence in the world with those.
Without real access to launch monitors, how are we supposed to know our swing speed?
Great info, would have been better if I could hear it
Blades every day - I play Mizuno 221 and I’ve gone from 6 to 0.5 this year.
Every time I watch a channel test blades the narrative is “unless you’re a plus handicapper you shouldn’t play these”, and then the tester proceeds the stripe the blades and want to put them in the bag.

They had a nice consistent ball flight and was now Carrying about 175-180 and going much higher. The fitter seemed just as surprised as me. He then had me try the MBs just to see. And sure enough, they felt even better. Was hitting them great. Even started messing around with shaping the ball and found it really easy. Feels crazy, but he said if I were looking to buy he'd probably put me in the MBs from PW-7 and 770s in 6-4.
Yeah and now go on a course and try out the mb’s one time. Dont get fooled by a simulator because if you didn’t even try real turf interaction you are clueless.
@@Terminader99 well I ended up getting a mixed set of p7MC's PW-7 and p770s 6-4. They feel amazing on course and I just shot my best round ever (78). So I'm happy. Guess ignorance is bliss right? With me being clueless and all.
I got the full p770 set and challenge your corny existence to a match. I shot the score record with a 66 on a champion course. Bet ya wont catch the -8 little fella .
@Terminader99 sorry your life isn't working out how you planned it brother.
@@ycombine1053 i mean life is more than working out, i switched my clubs from clunky chunky to the p770 and my golf game changed completely. I am glad not to be a golfer like you are haha. It started with me telling you that real turf interaction does matter and you got real sassy. Thats what i call an american golfer btw are you a Trump fanboi?
I like this content. Shaft? Mallet or blade? 2pc or 3 PC? Keep it coming
Appreciate your time Curtis
Oh last but not least, I went from P790’s to P7MB’s because the material quality on the 790’s suck ass. 8 months into playing them and they are scratched to shit. 5 months into the MB’s and they still look brand new. The steel used for the blades is 2 times harder, same process used to make Tiger Woods set minus the name and your getting the same clubs.
must admit that P7MB is the most beautiful thing I have even seen.
face it, the MBs are more forgiving than most give credit to
This is a novel idea. Why not play irons you like and choose the tee box appropriate for the length you hit them?
Just buy the 2021
There exactly the same thing guys snd girls
To get good at golf, hitting long irons off the tee, any long irons from any brand....USE A TEE! Why miss out on the chance to give yourself the perfect lie? The best players in the world tee their 3i, 4i, and even 5i up with a millimeter or two of the tee showing beneath the ball and you should too.
God golf must be fun with you two
Blows my mind how biased you all are about blades. The center of the MB is the same size as the center of the 770. Telling everyone to not use them unless you’re the top 1-5 players in the world is ridiculous. You need to do better. You should prolly encourage people to get lessons to improve ball striking instead of down talking a specific club type.
P770 for HCP 30? Never
Very repetitive comment about limiting muscle backs to tiger and rory. Some people prefer the feel, look, address, turf interaction, etc of muscle backs or similar. The forgiveness is very overblown. A mistruck cavity will still go array
Erm? Ok
@@getgoodatgolf Just throwing it out there. Every reviewer I watch says the same, even indicating handicap minimums. Never mention that higher handicap could be due to woods or wedges, for example.
I think scaring people away from them would lead to people never trying them which is unfortunate. They're worth a shot for anyone
@@patrickhockey615 I find they usually mention strike being important
As long as they are happy with their distance
They are not saying dont buy blades. They are simply saying do not buy blades if you are not good enough to hit them and you want to actually "get good at golf"! It's no coincidence 7 of the top 10 players in the world dont hit blades! It is because they care more about performance and results than looking cool with butter knife blades in the bag! If all you care about is looks and feel or are an ELITE BALLSTRIKER by all means play blades because they are beautiful but remember they only look and sound good when you hit them perfectly out of the middle.
Mc all day long don’t like the feel of the 770
Love the Channel but it seems the content is strongly biased towards the best clubs around. Rather than something for the Guys like myself who can only afford an old set of second hand equipment.
This is our first club video Frank… give us chance
@@getgoodatgolf Sorry wasn't meant to be a criticism just a view. But love all the channels from both of you. Keep up the good work.
I'm a fan generally but its just silly for reviewers to keep criticizing blades and then hit them as good as the other clubs. You did the same thing with the the review of the 620mb and quite frankly its annoying. Any player can hit a bad shot with any club and rather than discouraging people from playing more traditional clubs maybe you should share with them the truth, first, you cannot buy a good golf swing or a good game, and second a players handicap is far more indicative of their ability on and around the greens than the irons they're playing or should choose.
I think you need to go down under and play with Big Al
Can't go wrong with blades sir .... if you're going to be shit you might as well look awesome :D
Wow who ate all the pies.......
Bloody hell he's got Porky.🐷
90% of golfers shouldn’t use these irons
Probs because thats all they have where they are pal
Why not, I started 12 months ago with P790s and will be getting som P770s in the new year.
It’s for the next video!
@@zebedee321you are the definition of a dummy boi. People start playing golf with p790 and after a year he wants to move on to p770 😂😂
NONE of these clubs should be used by ANYONE with a handicap over 6-8! These are unforgiving, and will actually make your scores go up! In fact the MC and TW shouldn’t be played by anyone higher than a 0! Those clubs are for tour pros, and NOT low or mid handicap players!
Yeah keep talking pal while i am handicap 25,8 and have no problems. I go the p770 and p7mc combo set and my average round on a links is +1 i am fine with that.
@@Terminader99 there’s NO WAY on gods green earth that you shot 1 over par on a Links course as a 25 handicap! Nice try shit for brains!
Thanks you guys!! This is a very educational video. Certainly helps from potentially purchasing the wrong irons for a golfers game. 🏌️♂️ TaylorMade does wonderfully with catering to any level of golfer
