TaylorMade P790 irons – High handicap players feedback
In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s P790 irons. WRXer ‘Lefty87’ is a 16 handicapper interested in the P790 irons, and reaches out to fellow mid to higher handicap members for their experience with the clubs.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PitchPlease: “I started last year as a 12 when I was fit into P790. I’m currently an 8 (lessons + hard work, not because of the clubs though they’ve helped). I feel like I could play these down to a scratch (if I ever get there). P790s can fit people from 0-20 IMO.”
- BlueIslander80: “I think i can answer here. I’m probably a 20 right now, used to be much lower and hope to return… I don’t have an official HC as I am back to playing golf after 2 years out due to knee issues. I’ve got a set of 2021 P790s. I’m going to be changing them very soon as I can now stand taller and swing better so I need custom spec irons and feel like a change! So my P790s I absolutely love. I don’t think they are intimidating at address vs a GC iron. They are smaller but still more than enough. Feedback is good, when I play punchy 8iron shots 40 yards (welcome to Scotland) into a flag they have a lovely connection. Are they butter soft? No. How likely are you going to feel that when you aren’t a single figure HC anyways. We’re the kind of players who find the face but not always exactly where we want so forgiveness is still important and I think it has that in spades.”
- dMeeksdc: “iMO if you can play the ZXi4 you can play the P790. Maybe it’s a small step in the direction of a player’s iron but it’s not a leap. I have hit them and looked at them side by side. The P790 is slightly more compact but it’s really mostly the thinner top line that makes them look that way. These two irons are close in blade length. You may want to give the 770s a look too. Nothing to fear with those.”

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Work on your swing and pick up a cheap set of used forged cb/mb combo irons and learn how to strike the sweet spot more consistently. Huge heads with lots of offset and jacked up lofts won’t help you hit more greens.
