The TaylorMade P790 Golf Iron Set combines distance, forgiveness, and feel for discerning golfers. Featuring refined SpeedFoam technology for enhanced ball speed, these irons have a forged hollow body and a thin 4140 stainless steel face for explosive distance. Advanced tungsten weighting optimizes the center of gravity for higher launch and improved stability, ensuring consistent performance.

“

The P790 iron set is aimed at more skilled golfers with a budget for quality clubs. They're not as forgiving, so you'll need to be an accurate ball striker. The P790s allow players to draw to the right and hit cut shots from left to right. And these clubs are workable around the greens as well. You can spin it and not have to aim towards the center of the green. For golfers who like to aim for the pin, spin it, and land in one spot.

These irons are built with innovative AI technology that optimizes the clubface for an exceptional combination of speed and spin control.

The Mavriks are heavy with distance. It feels like the ball explodes off the face. You will often have to club down with these irons, meaning when you think you should hit a seven iron, you should hit an eight iron instead. These irons will offer a massive boost in distance but also lack control with spin. The Mavrik Irons are geared towards beginners who aren't really worried about spinning on the green.
