The 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are extremely forgiving for their size. Lots of ball speed. Gorgeous looks and satisfying feel. Great for golfers ready to step into players irons.
Introduction
In TaylorMade’s iron line up, the P790 reigns supreme for packing elite distance into a sleek package [review HERE]. But for players who want control over raw power, something in a more refined shape, there’s the new 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons. This iron defies conventional thinking about how much forgiveness you can get into a players iron while still delivering impressive ball speed and control.
Looks
The 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are some of the best looking irons to come out this fall, possibly trumping the P7CB, depending on your taste. In the bag, the back of the iron is super clean with a small TaylorMade T on the toe and a thin elevated ridge with the “P770” branding in a futuristic font.
At address, the P770 has a noticeably thinner top line than the P790. This is definitively a players iron with a compact blade length and straighter leading edge. Minimal offset gives you the confidence to shape the ball in any direction.
Comparing the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons (above and below, left) to the P7CB, the P770 is a touch larger. The top line is thicker by a small margin, probably only noticeable when they’re side by side. Similarly the blade is a hair longer.
The more noticeable difference is that the sole of the P770 is about 1/8″ thicker than the P7CB. That gap is consistent from 4I through PW.
Sound & Feel
I’ll often quibble with OEM’s descriptions of feel, but TaylorMade nailed it with “Solid Forged Feel.” The 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons is soft on center, giving players a sweet reward for their focus. This is definitely “the best feeling P770 to date.”
This solid feeling pairs well with a quiet, dull “click” on well-struck shots. The audio feedback is very strong. When you get too far from center, the sound becomes significantly louder and harsher. You’ll also feel a firmer sensation in your hands. This level of feedback is important because, as I’ll discuss shortly, your mishits are going to perform really well.
Performance
In testing the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons, what stood out most to me is how much forgiveness is slammed into a compact iron. TM rates the forgiveness as “Mid” next to the “Mid-High” forgiveness of the P790, but I think that undersells the P770. Anytime I hit a mediocre shot, I’d grimace at the sensation then laugh at the fact that the ball ended up on the green. The consistency of the ball speed and distance are outstanding.
Speaking of distance, the lofts of the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are fairly traditional and largely unchanged from the previous generation [2023 P770 review HERE]. While these irons still produce outstanding ball speed and smash factors on center, they will launch and spin higher than other irons if you’re comparing 7I to 7I. If you need to have the longest 7I, opt for the P790. If you’d prefer to have a little more air under the ball, more stopping power, and more traditional distance gaps, you’ll love the P770.
Additionally, there have been tweaks to the FLTD CG we saw in the last generation. This design puts the center of gravity lower in the long irons and higher in the short irons. The purpose is to help players elevate their long irons and hit controlled, high spinning shots with their scoring clubs, and it works just as promised. Throughout the set, the launch and spin are very robust, and the numbers are consistent with those of traditional players cavity backs, making it easy to build combo sets.
Finally, though they are much more forgiving than conventional irons, the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons give the player a lot of control over their ball flight. There’s ample spin to hit controlled fades or draws, and the lack of offset keeps them from being draw biased. It’s easy to flight the ball higher or lower. This makes the P770 a great option for the player who wants to step away from game improvement irons but isn’t ready to sacrifice forgiveness entirely.
Conclusion
If your handicap is trending down and you’re ready to venture into players iron for the first time, the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are a sensational choice. They can also serve as that middle ground for players who no longer want the intense demands of a true blade like the P7MB [review HERE]. No matter how you arrive here, make sure you get fit, and you’ll be thrilled with the performance of this set.
