Next Gen TM UDI?

[danielwkelliher]

Looks great. thinking UDI and bump loft to 18ish degrees. Liking the Smoke in 100grams

[Rpete33]

I think I’ll skip the udi version and pick up both a 3 and 4 iron for the top of the bag, the extra offset doesn’t bother me and i will go with c taper over the Hzrdus shaft anyway

[MrShield]

Have you guys seen this video from T*X*G golf?

If you start at 40 minutes into the video they try the new UDI 2 iron.

The loft is supposed to be 17*, but they measure the actual loft - twice. 20 degrees on the club they got directly from TM! Crazy!

Wonder if they will make a 790 ti UDI? Thing would go for miles and miles

I don’t see them doing a UDI in the Ti version. It’s TM though and you just never know..

Nice. Didn’t think they’d be in stores yet. Looking forward to hit this side by side with the Titleist u500.

Order placed first thing this morning with earliest ship date of 8/25.

[SoloShot84]

Stopped by local GG after work hoping to try P790 4 iron. Ended up only trying UDI since they did not have them yet.

 

Surprisingly thin sole compared to my p760.

 

Top line seems still thick and back chuck was still visible from address.

 

Had little dead feel on strike but could be something with me not doing well with project x shaft line

 

 

[BearQ]

Looks very similar to v1 p790 Udi. Tiny bit bigger overall if anything. Sole on first one is tiny, face top to bottom too.

[JoeJoeJoeUrBoat]

If it’s more forgiving than the first gen I’ll give it a try. If not I’ll stick with mine.

[Treyball344]

Went to PGA store fully intending to order the UDI. I found it to look very odd from the top down - you obviously could see a bit of the backside of the club at address, but it looked to be protruding much more behind the toe section. Might just be me, but I couldn't get past it. Got identical numbers with the new Titleist utilities and went with the U510.

The original UDI was the best performing and probably most popular on Tour and with the public. Just slap a new badge on that thing and it would be a huge hit for Tmade

Received a shipping confirmation from TaylorMade today with a delivery date of September 5th.

Me too...except mine will be here 29 Aug. Very excited for this one.

[JTK37]

Anyone receive theirs today?

Mine came in yesterday...and it’s a beauty. Going to hit it this weekend and snap some pictures. Compared to the 4 iron 790 2017 version, the head is 20% or so bigger? Few changes to the geometry, but they are kin for sure.

Got mine in. Extremely disappointed. Ordered standard length with the smoke 100 6.5 with BCT Full cord grip and it came in at C9 which is unplayable and would have to add way too much lead tape and don’t want to do that anyway. Pretty sad they just take heads and glue in shafts and can’t get swingweight even close. I also got the MG2 wedges and they came in at D1. Will be sending it all back with hopes they will send me replacements with the swingweight I want or I guess I won’t be ordering anything from Taylormade again.

Unfortunately they don’t adjust for swing weight.

I know and that in itself is sad, but when I order standard length with a standard grip, why does it come at C9 when the website lists stock SW at D2? I would prefer D3 but they can’t even hit the mark the website lists as the stock swingweight?

Yeah I agree that is not acceptable. They should be able to hit the listed swingweight plus or minus whatever the industry standard is.

[JLew]

TM is still missing the mark on shafts for the UDI. It's basically their iron shaft offerings plus the HZRDUS Black HY shafts. That's what it was for Gen 1 and is pretty pathetic.

How about ordering a grip with less weight, then switching it out for another (heavier) grip to achieve desired swing weight:

 

"By increasing the weight of the golf grip by 4 grams, the swingweight will be decreased by one swingweight point (decrease from D4 to D3, for example). Conversely, by decreasing the weight of the golf grip by 4 grams, the swingweight will be increased by one swingweight point."

How about they actually deliver the correct SW with whatever grip you order. Also if I ordered a lighter grip then added a heavier one after I got it the SW would be even lighter, it wouldn’t “achieve the desired SW”’ those are contradicting statements.

Has anyone who's had the first generation upgraded to the new one? I still have mine, just wondering if it's worth the upgrade or not.

Demoed on course for a week, zero difference to me. Sticking with the original.

This is secretly what I wanted to hear! Thank God, my wallet is safe lol. I am really enjoying the Gen 2 790s though.

Played 18 over the weekend only hitting the UDI off the tee (non par 3's obviously). I was pretty disappointed in the performance/feel vs the original model. The head appears a little smaller and MUCH less forgiving. Anything not hit out of the middle felt very dead and the head seemed to twist/torque a good bit.
