Taylormade P7MB?

[JStang]

I have never liked that "speed slot" or whatever they call it on the sole of some of TM's irons. Definitely interested in the P-7MC

[QuigleyDU]

As much as I like the look of these blades, I am getting old and would probably go P770 through the bag, or a mix of 770s and MCs..

[Chris29]

These are growing on me

[scottlarson11]

Should be a very good looking iron

[gripANDrip1983]

The P7CB’s resemble Srixon Z745’s.. they look really good..

[DNice26]

Yeah, maybe some R+ flex graphite shafts would go nicely. Maybe hard step them once just to be on the safe side... ?

[QuigleyDU]

Definitely a thought..

[JonnyKrasnodar]

The P7MC are reminiscent of the Mizuno MMC/Titleist CBs with the white contrast - they look absolutely stunning and are the first TM irons in years I'd consider buying.

The P770s again have echoes of the Mizuno HMB in terms of shape, offset etc.

Looks like TM have finally found a winning formula!

[DNice26]

Haha. I jest of course. Your speeds are far from the average Joe!

[QuigleyDU]

Oh, I know.. haha. I really do want to try all of these. The P770 and 7MC are by far the most interesting to me.

[DNice26]

Couldn't agree more. They look nice....

[QuigleyDU]

I will for sure try these when they come out. A smaller P790'esque club really appeals to me for some reason. In a way the 790's or 760's never did.

[SheriffBooth]

Please discuss the 770's and 7MC's here:

I was thinking P7cb delusions of R9tp , give us some B stamps with zero offset pls ?

[ZettyMcGoo]

I wonder if TM will ever make Lefty MB irons, theyre so clean

[PreppySlapCut]

I’m not telling anyone what they should hit, but I found the 760 to be a nearly perfect combo set.

[QuigleyDU]

Many liked them. They were/are a great club. I was just not into them aesthetically.

[PreppySlapCut]

For sure. I’m weird in what I like/don’t like looking down at, where it’s more about proportions than fitting into a box of “thin topline,” “no offset,” etc. As much as I like my current irons, I’m considering adding one more hybrid and then moving straight into blades 6-PW. We’ll see.

It’s Christmas for us lefties! ?? Pic from Robert Macintyre’s IG.

[QuigleyDU]

That’s cool

[grm24]

Hope so. That said didn't TM make two customs sets of the P730 blades for Akshay Bhatia and another high ranked lefty amateur and nothing came of them for us lefties?

[grm24]

TaylorMade's Tour-only P7MC evokes memories of 1 popular iron model

 

[leftygolfer15]

 

These. They made 3 sets apparently. Akshay and JT Phillips. They were fully milled. Also, it wasn’t all that long ago, so not much chance for them to have made them even if they wanted to.

[autronicdsm]

I know right... and both of these are clrearly a rip-off of PRGR blade that came out 4-ish years ago https://www.prgr-golf.com/product/headparts/rs-tour-16iron01-3d/

[alphabits12]

Wow, those look sweet!

[overflow001]

Anyone tried order P7MB LH in europe? looks like they are available in US and Canada only...

Play what you want, and I'm not interested in changing anyone's mind, nor denigrating anyone's choice of club. But....

 

Playing blades makes no sense.

 

Technology has completely passed them by. They offer absolutely no advantage over perimeter-weighted clubs. None. But they offer plenty of disadvantages.

 

Do you still play tennis with a wooden racket? Play softball with a wooden bat? Hit a persimmon driver with a steel shaft? Of course not. These are inefficient tools that have been universally replaced. No one uses any of those things anymore. Yet, the myth about blades continues.

 

But, wait a minute. Blades are more "workable," right? Wrong. Assuming by workable you mean being easier to fade and draw the ball, then no. A fade or a draw is a function of swing path and face direction, not perimeter weighting (or a lack thereof). You can fade or draw a perimeter-weighted club just as well as a blade. Where people get confused is the very real fact that golfers hitting blades are more susceptible to slices and hooks. In other words, their mis-hits curve more. Well, yeah, but who wants that? 

 

(It's said that perimeter-weighted clubs have a bigger "sweet spot," but this is technically not true. The sweet spot is the same as in a blade: tiny. What perimeter-weighted clubs do, however, is minimize the effect of off-center hits, so you can still get a good result from a slight mis-hit. This is why people talk about a larger sweet spot, when they really mean the club is more forgiving.)

 

"But what about the pros?" some will ask. Well, first, a lot of pros won't touch blades, so there's that. Second, those guys hit everything dead-center almost every time, so it doesn't really matter. Finally, a lot of them grew up on blades and they're not going to switch during a successful and lucrative career.

 

"But I get feedback on my misses" others will say. Yeah, I love to be criticized harshly for a small mistake, too. 

 

There are two potential advantages to playing blades. Some players report better feel with them. This doesn't affect ball flight, of course, and you will "feel" a lot when you mis-hit them--but that "feel" will not please you. Bad vibes, man. Blades' "feel" comes from the soft metal used for forging, not from the blade shape. There are plenty of perimeter-weighted clubs that are either forged or use forged faces, so this difference can be eliminated. The other potential advantage: because your misses with blades will fly so much shorter, you'll have to go less distance into the woods to find your unplayable ball. Shots that a perimeter-weighted iron might have kept on the golf course.

 

Again, I don't want to cast aspersions on any individual's club choice, nor speculate about anyone's motivations for that choice. C'mon. You know.

Playing this kind of club makes no sense... for you.
