I’ve been doing some research on the TaylorMade P790 irons and I’m curious about their performance across different skill levels. I’ve seen a lot of chatter about their forgiveness and distance, but I want to know how they actually perform for players at various handicaps.

Looking for Insights

  • What handicap ranges do you think these irons suit best? Are they mainly geared towards low handicaps, or can higher handicappers also benefit from them?
  • How forgiving are they? I’ve seen reviews that praise their playability, but I’m wondering if a high handicapper could still get along with them.
  • Comparative thoughts: How do they stack up against some other options like the P770 or the M6?

That makes sense! I’ve seen higher handicaps struggle with them due to the slight difficulty in consistency, but it can depend on the player’s skill level.

I agree! While they are stylish, beginners might find them a bit punishing, especially with mishits.

How do these irons compare in terms of feel against other brands, especially for lower handicappers? My friend swears by Titleist for feedback.

I think the P790s are fantastic for players looking to lower their scores. However, it might take a bit of time to fully adjust!

I chuckle at how many pros use them while claiming they’re for the average golfer. They’re more forgiving, but they certainly aren’t magic wands! Haha!

Haha, true! Lower handicappers might just make a few more birdies, but every golfer needs to practice!

As someone who switched from a more basic set, I found that the P790s really made me reflect on my swings. They really emphasize the fundamentals!

I’ve had mixed feelings about the TaylorMade P790 for different handicaps. They’re incredibly forgiving, which can help high handicappers, but they also provide great distance control for lower handicappers. It boils down to personal preference!

Exactly! As a 15 handicap, I appreciate the forgiveness on mis-hits. I feel more confident swinging them compared to my old clubs.

Forgiveness is key. I think the P790s really shine in that area. They almost act like a hybrid with their hollow body design, which makes them ideal for mid to high handicappers!
