They liked them, but basically cautioned that they are for Scratch or better players.  Said you need to be damn good ball striker for them. 

Would have to disagree with this i now own the P7MC 7-5 iron and have to say they are as easy to hit as anything ive owned previous. Such good clubs and definitely a club you should try.

[jolonh]

I received my P7MC irons 4-PW with Modus 120X in left hand. Ordered +1/4 inch longer but did not realize this only equates to 38 inches in 5 iron which is 1/4 inch shorter than my 2018 Callaway Apex MBs. Also not happy with  the swingweights which range from D4.0 to D5.0. Looks like my first and last set of Taylormade irons.

I agree with this statement.  I played P750's since they were released and even though similar looking at address and size the P7MC are more forgiving for me, same exact build.   The P7MC have a different feel and sound compared to the 750's.   P7MC have a dense feel and are softer feeling to me, which is a great improvement imho.

I haven’t watched any reviews...did they not like the MCs for some reason? Guess I could just go watch it myself

 

They felt that these were good ball striker irons.  They were reviewing the numbers and some not so pure hits had a serious drain in ball speed.  I think they were strikes low on the face.  I think Ian commented that if a player was considering moving from the P760 they should consider that as a factor.  However, they commented that solid strikes felt great.

I am not a scratch golfer by any stretch and I think the MCs are easy to hit.  Iron play is my strength, and I very much prefer something with less offset and a thinner sole, so I've played irons in this category before.  These are as easy to hit as any player's iron I've tried.  Ball speed dips on bad shots, but that's to be expected.  I wouldn't say it dips more than any other players iron.

1SW range is acceptable, but your length is probably correct as your Callaway build could probably the incorrect one.
The one thing I rarely see TM get wrong when orders are entered correctly is length.

I'm honestly curious.... does that 2 grams in weight and 1/4 inch make that much difference?

I don’t think it’s TaylorMades fault the lengths don’t match your Callaways

No. But a lot of people on this board approach their clubs specs like they are Tiger Woods. Not saying that guy is but the obsession over swing weight is something I won’t understand. Also not saying that clubs shouldn’t come as ordered in the correct specs, just funny to read some comments on this board.

Just a question for anyone who is coming to the P770s from a traditional blade or muscle back.  I play the JPX919 Tours, and distance isn't really an issue.  But I hit the 770s yesterday and really liked them, so I want to know how much longer they'll be if I make the switch.

 

My mizunos have almost identical lofts.  I hit-

PW - 150

9i - 160

8i - 170

 

And so on and so forth.  Carry distances.  10 yard gaps all the way up to 4 iron, which I bent a couple degrees strong so I could hit it 220.  I don't need the distance I guess, but the forgiveness appeals to me and I need a new set.

 

Was considering the MBs too, but I kind of already have that category filled with my MP20s

Maybe not entirely apples to apples, but I came off the Cally Apex Pros from 2016 and the 770s so far seem to be carrying the same distances. One caveat:  I have the Project X Pxi shafts in my Callys that were 1/2 inch over, but I went with Project X LZ at standard length, which is 1/2 shorter than I was playing in my Callys. Not sure if the 1/2 shorter shaft and extra 7 grams/shaft in the LZ in my 770s are contributing to that, or if I had exact same shaft specs in both would mean the 770s fly farther.

 

One thing I can say for sure is the 770s are more forgiving than the Apex Pros. Hope that helps.

It does, and I'm getting to a point where I probably either need to stop swinging so hard or play something a little bit more forgiving if I'm going to keep my swing speed as-is.

 

The Mizunos are pretty forgiving but I could definitely use some extra help, and since my entire game and bag are built around those carry distances I need to keep that intact if I switch.

 

Appreciated

Yeah, I was worried about yardage gapping too, especially between the A wedge and my 54* sand wedge, but so far so good.

Yeah, TM says they "try" to get the SW close to standard, but like you are finding that doesn't always happen.

It is this type of missed spec that got me into building my clubs 10 years ago, so I can get them they way I want them and not the oems way.

[mojomover]

I ordered a set of P7MC's- my first set of Taylormade irons. Overall thoughts as I am currently playing Srixon 785s and had played Mizuno MMC 20's earlier this summer, and ordered the 7MC's with the same nippon modus 120 shafts. Handicap about 6 and irons are perhaps my strong part of my game

 

1. Compared to the Srixons and Mizunos, the 7MC's are less forgiving for me. I found that the Srixons especially are forgiving if your miss is a thin (lose perhaps 5 yards) but with the 7MCs I was losing more than a club worth of distance (this is accounting for the loft differences)

2. The heads do feel a bit heavier, I swing weighted them to be somewhat closer to D4

3. the Good shots, are amazing, feel as good as any Japanese forged clubs

4. The clubs look amazing, perhaps the best looking set in a while. The heel to toe distance is perfect. The top line is not as thin as I thought it would be, so does give you confidence

5. There is a unique finish on the face that is really cool- some sort of milling

 

Overall, great clubs but for me, I disagree that they are "that" forgiving. Would love to trade for a set of P770's now ?

Great example of it just being swing dependent.  I love the MMCs and found them forgiving as well, but struggled with the 785s to get consistent strikes.

Agreed- curious, do you have a good divot or more of a sweeper? I am the latter, so wonder if that plays into thin soled irons forgiveness.

sure, I wasn't speaking from any personal experience, I was just answerng the question that was asked, what Ian and Matt said about it.   I wouldn't even say disliked, as they certainly liked it, it was more of a "warning"  

One of my coworkers hit them at a fitting day, and did ver well with them, I think he's about a 7 or 8.   So I'm sure they will have a broader range than just scratch. 

[kekoa]

I had a chance to set up to the MC's, didn't hit them due to all the stalls being full.  Maybe I'm blind, but the MC's looks really good and more foregiving compared to the 760's.  The MC blade looks longer to my eye with super thin top line and little/no offset.    I contacted a rep to order, but appears they are backordered until next month sometime.  ughhh....

To everyone who is gaming the MC’s currently - how is the durability? Has the back muscle been dinged up at all?

The length comment surprises me, to be honest. I've found TaylorMade to be very precise with custom lengths on my past orders, including my P770-P7MC-P7MB order. What ruler are you using to measure?

 

A D4-D5 swing weight range for an OEM set of irons is really not bad at all. If you want higher tolerances, you need to do what I and many others do and rebuild them yourself.

I've played 6 rounds and have had a couple practice sessions with mine so far (just 5 and 6 iron in MC). Just some minor bag chatter starting. Nothing excessive or out of the ordinary. Exactly what I'd expect for a forged head.

Sent you a pm....I am local to Bay Area, so we could have our own mini-demo ?

[rxk9fan]

I also found the TM length to be shorter by a 1/4  inch, but compared to some other OEM’s I understand this has always been the case.

I had some 770’s , traded them as I was not thrilled with the feel, but traded them back lol.  Tourney this weekend so that will decide my longer term decision.  It is always the club... never my swing that is the problem lol.

[TaylorMade Golf]

Quick update...we're still doing everything we can to a) cover the demand for these products and b) provide as accurate as possible delivery dates. When we have a macro environment playing havoc with the demand/supply chain, we're not going to be perfect. Golf is bouncing back well and nobody could have predicted when and how it would have bounced back. July was the highest month of golf equipment sales in over 20 years, yet 3 mths before that golf courses and retail stores were closed. It's a crazy year no doubt.

 

We're doing the best we can in the current conditions. We're also seeing lots of orders placed incorrectly by retailers (RH ordered instead of LH, wrong models in combo sets, etc). So please double check your order with your retailer, even ask for a receipt of the order. Of course, if we make a mistake we'll fix it. If you have an issue, please call/email customer service as they are best equipped to help.

 

Thanks and appreciate your patience.

Totally agree.  I sold mine for $1100 after playing 2 rounds shot 72,75 but they weren’t as forgiving as I expected.  Playing the 770s now so much easier and not looking back but I did have to get them extended a quarter inch because of the new way TM measures makes them a quarter inch shorter than industry standard.

Wrong lol 760s are way more forgiving and a lot easier to hit and they feel softer as well.  I’m playing the 770s but I kept my 760s and I’m glad I did.  I sold my 7MCs after 2 rounds 72,75.  I play to a 4 handicap.  But like someone mentioned before it’s all about how somebody swings the club we’re all different.  MCs might work for you but IMO the 760s are more user friendly
