New TM p790 irons ???

Last night the website had $3000 listed, but today it’s $2800. So it’s actually $350 per iron for steel, $375 for graphite.

 

> @AG12 said:

> So its $199/club in the regular P790 set??

 

I think it’s $1400 for 4-AW. $175 per iron. I’m basing this on the way the old clubs are listed on the website. I asked on the Taylormade chat for clarification and they had no clue.

It allows for them to preserve ball speed as you get farther from the face, thus enlarging the sweet spot. Basically, they're controlling the amount of thickness on the backside of the face to manipulate ball speed across the face. It's been on many irons in the past and you can see it on the backside of the r7 line. it looks like a little donut.

This donut was made a little shallower to distribute more evenly and then they shifted it to the toe side a little because of how the irons are made. The net result is a club that should perform more similar across the face, whether they're toe or heel side mis-hits.

Maybe they did, not sure. I was just pointing out that TM has used ICT for years and it's been tweaked this year for the new P790.

Hoping one of these YouTuber's does a comparison video between the new 790 and '19 Apex soon.

[Titleist_Baller]

Wonder if these are same forgiveness as first gen or different?

[herbert7890]

I want to see a comparison of the new P790s to the T-200, since one of these will be my new irons, come September.

[Lenny2]

I like the current 790’s because they were so forgiving, does this change anything with this new design and weight distribution?

^^^This. I noticed the 790s lofts are 1/2 a degree stronger.

[MrShield]

Have you seen the TXG video of the launch today?

 

When they measure the new P790 2-iron UDI they say it’s 20* degrees loft exactly?!? I mean they say it’s supposed to be 17* but they measure the club they got and it actually shows 20!

Not sure yet. Was told it should be out/updated on 8/19

[BostonWRX]

Haven’t seen this anywhere but did they fix the dead feel 8-pw?

[caloge]

TaylorMade seems to have nailed this release. New epic irons seemed to offer little to justify the price tag beyond the brag appeal, but TM actually doing something super different and the tech story has me actually intrigued. Might be the first time I feel the premium iron price is justified since they started filling our irons with screws.

[TheMoneyShot]

Can’t wait to finally get home and listen to some of these reviews.

[Micrys2]

So am I crazy or what? We now have PW that is 43.5*? I am assuming that this is much about distance, but what is to be done at the bottom end of the bag? The soon to be released TM 790 Ti’s are going to carry the ball 150 yards or some silliness? Also concerned about peak height. Someone enlighten me here. I get some are looking for distance, but wow, just go elsewhere?

The AW is at 49. Not sure what the issue is or why people get so worked up about lofts and numbers on clubs.

Do the new 790s have foam in the 8-PW and / or tungsten in the 8-PW?

They have foam.

That graph is off. There is no 3 iron in the P790 Ti set.

[lostbeachbum]

Wold the P790TI fit into the GI iron category considering its size, offset and lofts?

Yes, I would think so.

Wow...the reviewer is swinging his 7i at 101 mph and getting 205 yards . That's what happens with a hot face and super fast swing I guess.

[want2bpro]

sorry, i am confused and i realize this is likely a dumb question...

there are 2 new sets of irons? the p790 TI (which is $2700??) and the 2nd gen of p790?

[JoeJoeJoeUrBoat]

Can’t wait for these, has Crossfield reviewed them yet?

Correct

[Warrick]

Is the listed pricing for both sets, 4-P?

So, $200 and $400 per club?

Pointless reviews, has he ever said an iron or club sux? No because they are a retailer.

Nope, always positive reviews.

[Natural1]

I'm definitely in the minority here regarding the strong lofts. I'm actually glad they are designing clubs like this because I'm a digger and a fairly low ball hitter. So, I can weaken the lofts 1.5-2 degrees and I get more bounce, higher launch, and a bit less offset as well. I did this with my AP3 set and the numbers and ball flight were great. If I didn't absolutely hate the feel, they would probably still be in the bag today. I'm seriously thinking about giving the new 790 a shot. Will probably check out the T200 as well. Supposedly the feel is improved on those vs AP3.

Articles about the Ti say $2800 for 4-AW, so I would assume the 790 is the same. I asked this question on the TaylorMade website chat, but the person didn’t know.
