TaylorMade P770 (2025) Irons
The modern-day player's iron — a forged hollow body that packs first-in-class forgiveness into a compact, blade-like profile with buttery feel and SpeedFoam Air technology, earning Golf Digest Hot List Gold two years running.
The consensus
The TaylorMade P770 has established itself as the definitive modern player's iron — a forged hollow body that packs first-in-class forgiveness into a compact, tour-ready frame. Now in its fourth generation, the P770 earned Gold on the Golf Digest Hot List in both 2025 and 2026, and placed first for forgiveness in MyGolfSpy's 2024 player's distance iron test. The forged 4140 face paired with a soft 8620 carbon steel body and SpeedFoam Air delivers what reviewers consistently call the best-feeling P770 ever produced. Across 15 sources, the consensus is clear: this is the player's iron that defies its size category.
Where sources agree most strongly: feel, forgiveness, and aesthetics. Golfalot declared these irons feel like nothing I have ever hit — just so buttery and soft at impact. Golfstead scored sound and feel at 9.9 out of 10. The forgiveness story is equally compelling — up to 46 grams of tungsten weighting and hollow-body construction maintain ball speed on mishits, prompting Plugged In Golf to observe that the P770 looks like a players iron but forgives mishits like a game improvement club. The aesthetics earned near-universal praise, with GolfWRX members calling it the best-looking iron they have ever put in the bag.
Where the consensus is honest: distance and price. MyGolfSpy ranked the P770 15th out of 18 for distance. Today's Golfer measured a 10-yard carry gap behind the P790 — the result of the P770's traditional 33-degree 7-iron loft prioritizing trajectory control over raw yardage. At $1,399.99 for a six-piece set, the P770 is premium, and upgrading from the 2023 model is a tough call given incremental gains. But for golfers in the 0-10 handicap range who value feel, aesthetics, and control over maximum distance, the P770 is the player's iron to beat.
