Loved everything about them other than the feel, which is OK but nothing like a solid forging of course. That said, I spent the winter in Phoenix and played 107 rounds in 117 days and it didn't take too long to figure out the lack of spin was hurting me in the higher altitude with very hard greens. Played Papago and had a downwind shot to a pin 211 in the front of the green. I figured a 5 iron that normal carries around 190-195 would be perfect. I hit it as well as I could and launched it sky high only to see it run off the back of the green? My ball mark was barely on and it still ran off the back. So I switched back to my Cobra Forged Tours and they worked out much better for me.

> ... But I missed those P790 long irons and kept eyeing P760's on eBay throwing out a ton of low bids usually losing by $200-$400. Then in late February I was surprised when won a set for even less than my bid. It did not take me long to realize the 760's were just about perfect in every way. I really couldn't care less about what the cavity looks like LOL because at address they are just exceptional. I was also a little worried about how small the 760 heads are in the long irons compared to my 790's but after just a few rounds that proved to be a non factor. And of course the feel, especially in the pw-8, is really light years better which is a nice bonus. I planned on going back to my 790's when I returned to Chicago in mid May but I was so happy with the 760's I never considered putting the 790's back in the bag. I still think the 790's are outstanding irons, especially if you need the extra forgiveness but I will be selling mine because the 760's are a hair better for me across the board and while I never experienced the mythical unicorn 790 WRX flier from the middle of the fairway on a well struck shot, I do find the 760 short irons to be just a hair more accurate than my 790's.

Wonder how a combo set would be

p790 4-6/7

p760 7/8-PW 1 strong

... If the much larger head size didn't bother you, it would be a great combo imo. Sun Hyun Park, a very strong golfer plays 760's in her pw-5 but has a 790 4 iron in her bag because it is almost like an iron-hybrid.

Finally, I switched from z565/765 combo to P760/P730 combo.

Needed something smaller head size to work better through rough.

really nice iron with good control.

definitely lost distance compared to 565 but loving better accuracy.

Have a 5-aw set coming tomorrow, trackman numbers and feel were great.

I’m really interested in possibly getting a set, tried cobra but they didn’t work and now I’m stuck between p760, z765/forged combo and ap2

I too am very interested in these. I spent most of this year with Srixon Z Forged and Srixon Z765 (both wonderful irons). I just could not resist going back to my favorite iron of all time, the P770. Being a WRXer, I have to at least entertain pitting the P760 against my combo set of P770/P790/M6 rescue.

I have p770 right now but I love the little bit smaller head of the P760. Might make the switch too :#

I’ve had the 760 in the bag for 4 rounds now and I’m really liking them. This year I’ve gamed the iblade, MP18 mmc, p790 and now the p760. The 760s are far and away my favorite iron of 2018.

 

The short irons feel great and the gap between the 8 iron and 7 iron is right where I expect it to be, even with the addition of the speedfoam to the 7 iron. I’m getting more consistent carry numbers with the 760s than I was with the iblade and the MP18, and the long irons are much better on off centered strikes.

 

Looks wise, the 760 looks way better in person, and the chrome finish looks a lot better IMO than the finish on the 750/770.

 

Really happy with the 760 so far.

How would you compare them to the iblades? I came from iblades and now just got a set of p760's

They’re definitely softer than the iblade. iblades are a bit more workable, I think they’re pretty comparable when it comes to distance controlI, but the 760 was a bit more forgiving. Overall I played a lot more consistently with the 760.

Awesome! I’m going to get out and play 18 with them today.
