Generation 3 P790 in 2021?

[Danjorams]

The TM site now isn't even showing the P790 option to even look at where just a day ago it was there but said sold out.  the P790TI is obviously still a choice.   They are pushing the P770 as that is the first thing that pops up on the home page now.  I hope this means they are working on the site to prepare for PRE-ORDERS for the gen 3 P790's.   I will wait this out for the new Released Irons as I was fitted for the current P790's and just loved them.

@TaylorMade Golf said we won’t even see them until the Olympics/FedEx cup, which is likely early August. I hope we see something before then, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah I saw that and I was hoping he/she was referring to when they will be available in stores and such. I'm hoping they will do a preorder soon so I can get them ordered and get them before the golf year comes to a close here in upstate NY.

No photos yet ? Come on, we're slacking....

When I was at my fitting with TaylorMade 2 weeks ago my fitter said that they would be released in August - September time frame and would be about $10 -$15 more per club than the current P790 price tag.  One thing he said they worked on with the Gen 3 P790 was getting rid of the occasional hot shot that a lot of people have been complaining about with the P790 vs the more consistent distances from the P770.

[Lefty87]

If these are being released in August, pre-orders like begin in mid July. How have we not even seen these yet? Meanwhile, Titliest has a hollow bodied iron available for preorder in July as well.

If they have better feel and a slightly thinner top line, these are going to end up in a ton of bags. I'm really looking forward to seeing them and getting some info!

[Fairways and Greens]

Live in Carlsbad, CA spoke with fitter at the Kingdom about new irons. I currently play gen2 790 but like the look of the 770 his comment was if you like the 770 you will really like the new P790 wait about a month 

[TaylorMade Golf]

Soon...and they're gonna be worth the wait.

A lot more P770 looking then current P790, will suit a lot more of the players who played these opposed to the mid handicapper.

With the new face and foam layout flyers should be a thing of the past, spin will be a lot more towards the “friendly” side which should help those who had to tweak lofts or use a different shaft to help hold greens. 
 

They will blend perfectly with the P770 without having to change lofts like you do currently. Again TM had done an exceptional job at curving lines and shaping the head to make it appear smaller but still having a nice footprint that isn’t off putting.
 

Speaking of things that are off, the offset is a lot smoother and blends really well from long to short irons.

 

no idea what the UDI will be like!

There’s currently 2.5 degrees between the P770 and P790 7 iron. You’re saying they’re going to weaken the lofts of the P790 by 2.5 degrees? Or were you not referring to loft when you say blends perfectly?

I just went to the TM site and it looks like you can start to pre order.  no picture but just a blacked out or shaded image of a club.  so pumped.

[Danjorams]

Sorry the screen shot didn't show the image.  Also found out you can't preorder yet but I'm sure its coming in the next few days as they update the site.

[ASN21]

Didn't someone say the price was increasing for these? Doesn't seem like it based on that picture.

Yes that was what a TM fitter had said to me about 2 weeks or so ago.  The 1299.99 price tag doesn't sya how many clubs in the set though.  could be a 7 club set.

Go to customize and then add to cart....shipping 9/3!

I just ordered mine this morning, says shipping 7/20. 4-pw with x100. Hopefully, I don't have to cancel if any weird shipping delays happen.

[Pittknife]

Forgot to add, I called the rep up before placing order. They have available shafts just for this p790 launch. I was nervous not seeing what these things look like before ordering but the rep said very similar to current. I was fitted for the p770 because the taylormade rep said I hit the ball to far with my irons and gapping was off from my 52 sm8 to the p790 PW. The P770 looks great but frankly I'm older and want the forgiveness. I've never bought a set of clubs unseen before, kinda exciting and scary at the same time.

So you ordered them directly from TM’s website?

Yup, you can hit the pic and hit customize. The dates will change based on the shaft availability.

[JDIL]

Yup my shafts say 8/31

Sweeeet. Good to know. Crazy you can pre-order before they’ve even leaked lol. 

[Lefty87]

Man, I tried about 10 shaft options and they were all 8/31 or 9/3.

I ordered mine around 7am this morning est time. Maybe there are a lot of pre-orders and the timeframe got longer. Mine still says 7/20

[Pittknife]

So this is very disappointing, I just got off the phone with the taylormade service rep and they said the est. time was wrong. No one will get these until earliest sept.2. Totally not cool, so I cancelled my order.

I'm sure TM will miss your business. 🙄

I'm sure they will, this shortage won't last forever and they will be going back to grey marketing clubs.

[maowv]

I love this site and these message boards.

 

Always thought I had a problem with ordering and trying too many golf clubs, looking for some magic. Buy, try, sell. Rinse and repeat. But ordering irons sight unseen, that no one has seen????

 

You guys make me feel a little closer to normal and it's cheaper than therapy!!!
