P790 Irons Review, the good and the bad

 The TaylorMade P790s are a great iron for high handicap players and low handicap players. These irons are the middle ground between a blade and cavity backs. They look like a blade from address but have the forgiveness and feel that you look for in a cavity back iron. I have been playing with these irons for a little over a year and they are by far my favorite irons I have ever had. You can control them very easily. They feel incredible and you can put almost the perfect amount of spin on them as much as you would like. The only downside that I would have to say about them is the speed foam that is injected into the toe and bottom groove of the club. The foam insert is to add a little extra forgiveness if you don't hit the ball too well. The thing is if you hit the ball too well, these irons come off hot. Whenever I catch these irons a little too clean they go an extra 5 or 10 yards. The pitching wedge through 8 iron I would have to say does not have this problem. This problem comes into effect with the 7 iron through 4 iron. The 7 through 4 also have a speed slot on the bottom of the club to add even more forgiveness. If you are looking for precise irons and are looking to keep a consistent handicap under 5, then these irons are not for you. If you are a golfer with an average handicap of 6 or above then these irons are just for you. Like I said these are one of the best irons on the market and are perfect for starting golfers or golfers that are looking to improve their score. Overall I would give these irons a 7.8 out of 10, just for the fact that they are not as precise as I would like them to be. But in the high 7s for the reason any golfer can play with them well, they are the average golfer iron.
