Taylormade P760 (Pics Added)

[Oliver Klozoff]

These are ugly.

 

The 730, 750, and 790 all look great. Someone should be fired for the back of these 760s. trending towards a Nike Slingshot. Ughh.

[YoureStillAway1]

Not a fan. Why go chrome around the perimeter and then change when it comes to the cavity. Makes the iron look cheap, in my opinion.

[BirdieBob]

Basically a forged blade with the long/mid irons having improved feel/performance on offcenter hits.

Will be interesting to see which staff players put these in the bag.

[Superbrit]

I just dont get how they can make such nice looking irons in the 750 and 770 and then come out with this, looks like my bose amplifier in my car!

Flash forward to 2025 and WRX thread titled "best irons nobody played"

Random WRX'er "Surprised nobody mentioned the TM760's. Man they got savaged on here because everybody said they were so ugly but for workability and ease of playing there hasn't been anything better in the last 15 years. Glad I stocked up when they phased these out."

 

Multiple random WRX'ers (paraphrasing) "Totally agree. When mine wear out I might quit the game. The people who called them ugly are IDIOTS!"

If these are priced over $1000 they are too much.

 

$1600. No way in hell I'd pay that for these. Yikes. This is a completely ill-conceived line. TM dropped the ball here.

Etches is streaming a premiere on these right now

[msd71]

I saw these in real life today and they look better in person. The diagonal lines are a negative still but not a deal killer if these perform. That said, I just ordered some 770s on closeout.

Probably not many if any.

Post of the year.

[HappyGilmore22]

Really wish this iron looked better because it is about exactly what I would want with an iron set, and I'm looking for a new set soon. Really disappointing TM. Might still give it a try but with the price tag they want with awful looks along with pumping sets out yearly it's not looking good. Guess I'll keep deciding on jpx vs 918 ap2.

6 pages later, I checked again. They're still hideous.

Is that the real price for an 8 club, steel shafted set? If so, TM has lost their minds. You cannot compete with PXG, market is small enough as it is.

I saw Rick Sheils said 1300 pounds. Golf Digest lists them at $1400.

[ddetts]

Clearly I'm in a very small minority here, but I actually think these look decent and have a much cleaner appearance than the 750s/770s look.

 

I'll add the disclaimer that I have yet to own a TM set of irons, but I've played original Nike forged blades, Titleist 735.cm and Mizuno MP-15 for my last 3 sets so it's not like my eyes are used to looking at SGI irons or anything crazy.

TaylorMade Golf Company Announces Addition to Players Irons Lineup with P760

 

 

 

The Next Generation of Forged Progression, P760 Irons Feature Optimized Engineering for Tour-Level Performance

 

 

 

CARLSBAD, Calif. (October 15, 2018) – TaylorMade Golf, the industry leader in iron technology and innovation, announced today the extension of its globally successful P700 series irons with the introduction of P760, a progressive forged players iron designed to give better players specifically what they want and need through the entire set, alleviating the possible consideration of combination sets. The P760 pulls performance technologies and shaping attributes from its Tour-proven siblings, the P750, P770 and P790. The P760 irons effectively replace the P750 & P770 in the TaylorMade lineup, giving players the performance of P750 in the short irons and improves on the performance of P770 in the long irons. The P760’s progressive design is individually optimized for each club from 3-iron to AW to provide Tour-caliber shaping and performance.

 

 

 

 

Forged Multi-Material Construction

 

 

The progressive design of P760 goes beyond shaping; specifically, the iron’s construction. The P760’s unique iron design transitions from a single piece 1025CS forged head in the 8-PW/AW to a 1025CS forged hollow body with SUS630 face material injected with our revolutionary SpeedFoam™ in the 3-7 irons. The hollow cavity construction (3-7 irons) produces consistent distance while adding forgiveness to maintain optimized gapping throughout the set, while the one-piece forged construction in the 8 through AW results in remarkable feel and shot shaping capability for better ball strikers.

 

 

 

Progressive Player-Preferred Shaping

 

 

Shaping is one of the most critical phases in the development of a new iron, and TaylorMade’s engineers set out to create a progressive set that met even the most discerning players’ demands. Head size, offset and lofts have been meticulously detailed to engineer specifically what better players demand for precision shot making. The sole geometry of the P760 has also been redesigned with a chamfered leading edge that delivers a cleaner entry into the turf, activating the club’s bounce without the risk of digging, all within a square look at address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SpeedFoam Technology

 

 

SpeedFoam technology, which was first introduced in the highly popular P790 irons last fall, has been incorporated into the P760’s 3-7 irons. SpeedFoam serves the dual purpose of generating ball speed while also dampening vibrations to create optimal sound and feel. SpeedFoam is injected into the club head in liquid form before expanding within the club, providing increased face support while maintaining the soft, solid sound and feel that golfers prefer.

 

 

 

"With P760, we set out to design a players iron for Tour-level competition, combining all the elements that are most desirable to the better golfer. The P760’s progressive set shaping enables short irons to be compact and precise while the long irons take on a hollow construction, injected with our revolutionary SpeedFoam. P760 is designed to inspire confidence whether you’re attacking pins from short range or sticking greens from long range." Brian Bazzel, VP of Product Creation, TaylorMade Golf

 

 

 

Specifications, Pricing & Availability

 

Available starting November 2 at an MSRP of $1,399.99 USD, P760 will be available as an 8-piece set (3-PW, with AW also available), equipped with True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 (S300, X100) shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 grips.

I bet they'll actually look pretty good in-person

James Robinson Golf has a review of these up as of 30 minutes ago. Very interesting.

I don’t think they look bad and can’t understand how some say the 750s and 770s look any better. Maybe they could’ve went a little more vanilla but these are far from gaudy.

I’d want my irons to look a little better than ‘not bad’ for 1.4K.

i’m with you...they look fine to me.

I weigh performance a bit more than looks. They look good enough to where I’d give them a try if I didn’t love my 790s so much.

Thanks for posting this review. Very interesting..

$1400. No, thanks.

... I was just looking at the foam filled 7 iron and a ball on my carpet jumped about 5 feet. Clearly these are unplayable and will cause fliers that will be 30 to 40 yds longer than a standard 7 iron shot. And this new sole will have very poor turf interaction. I know all this without ever hitting them. I am sticking with my "insert name here" MB's.

1400$ USD is a lot. I mean the Z785 is less than that in Canadian dollars and they are sexy AF

[duke2001j]

 

Better. Like I said, anything is better than the Insta Live shot - but personally I will wait to see and try them in person. I've always been performance over appearance anyway, so pictures are only about 20% of my personal evaluation equation.

 

id probably agree with that ratio..BUT the 20% is the 1st impression ..and it matters..alot.. Fact is guys were waiting for a "mini 790"... and this isnt that

 

Well I wouldn't be surprised if the number scheme kinda gives it away and we're probably due for a P780 iron too. That will probably be closer to the P790 which may be closer to what the mini 790 crowd is looking for. TM almost never just does 1 iron release for the year, so stay tuned. No insider info there, but just a hunch.
