TAYLORMADE Golf’s P·Series irons each have their own unique characteristics that position them among the highest-performing irons in the marketplace.

And now, TaylorMade have announced the arrival of the all-new P·790, with each iron individually designed to perform how golfers need it.

With precision mass optimisation in each iron, tungsten weighting and SpeedFoam Air, each iron has a unique internal structure. This individually optimised construction is engineered to create an unrivalled blend of distance, forgiveness and accuracy, said Matt Bovee, TaylorMade’s director of Irons Product Creation.

“P·790 is a collision of art and engineering. The allure lies not only in the clean design and visual appeal, but also in the high-performance machine that lives within. It’s the total package, an ideal blend of external elegance and internal power,” added Bovee.

For the first time, P·790 features FLTD CG, a strategic design that positions the centre of gravity (CG) lowest in long irons and progressively shifts it higher throughout the set.

This intuitive design concept allows for easier launch and more forgiveness in the long irons, while the shorter, weaker lofted irons are designed to control ball flight and optimise spin, said Bovee.

“In the long irons (3-4), the CG has been shifted almost a millimetre lower compared to previous generations, while the CG starts to creep up as you go through the set. Overall, there is a linear trend from low-to-high giving the golfer spin exactly where they need it to promote accuracy, control and consistency from top to bottom.”

The 2023 P·790 irons still feature SpeedFoam Air technology, which is 69% less dense than the original SpeedFoam, according to Bovee.

A forged 4140 high-speed face creates a hollow body construction that houses the internal technology and sustains a premium feel.

A staple of TaylorMade designs, the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket works in unison with unique internal constructions to expand the sweet spot while also protecting ball speeds on low-face strikes.

The P·790 irons include machined grooves for precision craftsmanship, a characteristic that is present throughout the P·Series lineup. It also features a pearl satin scratch finish and tour satin stripe that runs down the middle of the club, with a sharp tonality on the polishing.

The P·790 irons are offered in a set of 4-PW with the Nippon shaft Neo steel shafts and the Mitsubishi MMT graphite shafts. Custom ordering is also available with various shaft and grip options.

The all-new P·790 irons are available as a seven-piece set and retail for RM8,800 (steel) and RM10,150.
