The New TaylorMade P790 Irons Bring a Refined Look, Softer Feel and More Distance

What's at the core of the 2025 P790?

The new P790 irons are built around offering three distinct advantages over the previous models - refined looks to offer more broad appeal for golfers along with better alignment, improved feel, and more distance in the longer irons for better distance gapping and shot control.

“P790 continues to be a special iron that offers something for a wide array of player demographics. Now in their fifth generation, P790 irons continue to be a global leader in the Players Distance category.” -Matt Bovee, Global Category Director–Irons & Wedges

Core design features

4340M Face - Let's get real nerdy for a moment. 4340M is a low-alloy steel with a high strength-to-weight ratio, high durability, and ductility. And, because of these properties, It’s a common material used in the aerospace and aviation industry.

So why use it in the face of an iron? Well, by using 4340M the engineers at TaylorMade have been able to reduce the thickness of the face to save weight to increase MOI and increase the size of the effective sweet area of the face by 24 percent.

NOTE - I don’t like using the term "sweet spot" because by definition, it's a very tiny and particular point on the face, while the "effective area" describes the area of the face where the most ideal results can be created.

New Sole Design - With more leading edge camber and curvature from heel to toe, the iron offers better playability for golfers across the board and also encourages more centered face contact in the longer irons.

New Acoustics - With the help of modal analysis, the new P790 has been tuned to provide better feedback and performance on shots hit off the middle and around the rest of the face.

“Our goal with P790 irons was to take sound and feel to the next level," Bovee said. "We were able to accomplish that through individual head optimization and the stiffening of key internal structures while maintaining the world-class performance P790 irons are known for.”

Improved shaping - To go along with the new acoustics, the topline and transition from the topline to the hosel has been thinned down to offer a more player preferred look without sacrificing any of the playability or confidence inspiring looks.

Other longstanding technologies include the through-slot speed pocket on the sole and speedfoam air that fills the inside of the iron for further acoustic tuning.

As for availability, the 2025 P790 irons will be available for preorder starting on today February 18th at TaylorMade.com and will hit retails shelves on March 19th. They will be $1400 in steel and $1500 for graphite as a 7-piece set.
