IronsTaylorMade P790 Irons (2025 model)Specs and who they suit
Updated: Nov 8, 2026Contains affiliate links
TaylorMade's hollow-body iron, filled inside with SPEEDFOAM AIR. It looks thin at address yet forgives mishits. The Japan-spec lofts are 30° for the 7-iron, 44° for the PW and 49° for the AW, and it went on sale on March 14, 2025. On Rakuten it is JPY 118,800, about 40% cheaper than the official six-iron set at JPY 191,400. The thing to watch is that the stronger lofts make the gaps between clubs shorter. The 2025 P790 uses a light new face material that is 20% stronger. TaylorMade says the sweet spot of the 7-iron is up to 24% larger than on the 2023 P790 (it varies by club). What I could check by holding it in a shop is in the section "What I learned addressing it in a shop" below.
What I learned addressing it in a shop: In October 2026 I picked up the P790 7-iron (30°) at a local golf shop, took a stance and made practice swings. I did not hit a ball. In the practice swings the sole moved through lightly, and the head looked a little thicker than the ZXi5. What gave me trouble is that, having not hit it, I can't write about distance or feel. The ZXi5 I use (7-iron, 31°) I have played for about 18 rounds since mid-September.

TaylorMade P790 Irons pros and cons
Pros
- ¥118,800 on Rakuten, about 40% cheaper than the official 6-piece set at ¥191,400
- A design that pairs a sleek-looking face with hollow-body forgiveness
- Available from #4 to AW, so it's easy to add clubs at either end
Cons
- Strong 30° 7-iron loft. It goes farther, but gaps between clubs tend to tighten
- Hollow-body feel is different from the solid feel of soft carbon steel. Opinions are split
- Adding a club later costs ¥31,900 for 1, so it works out pricier
What I learned addressing it in a shop
Addressing it and taking practice swings: In October 2026 I picked up the P790 7-iron (30°) at a local golf shop, took a stance and made practice swings. I did not hit a ball. I have never hit it at a range or on the course. In the practice swings the sole moved through lightly, and the head looked a little thicker than the ZXi5.
I have used the ZXi5 (7-iron, 31°, 2026 model) for about 18 rounds since mid-September. On the indoor TrackMan its 7-iron gave 160 yards, 6,300 rpm and 28 m. I haven't hit the P790, so I leave out its distance and spin figures. Using a rule of thumb of about 3 yards per degree of loft, the P790's 7-iron works out to roughly 163 yards (my calculation, not a number I hit).
Because the lofts are stronger, the gaps between clubs are a worry. I calculated the difference from the next club up using the official lofts (my calculation).
| Club | P790 loft | Gap from the next club up | ZXi5 loft | Gap from the next club up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #5 | 23° | 3° | 24° | 2 deg |
| #6 | 26.5° | 3.5° | 27° | 3° |
| #7 | 30 deg | 3.5° | 31° | 4° |
| #8 | 34° | 4° | 35° | 4° |
| #9 | 39° | 5° | 39° | 4° |
| PW | 44 deg | 5° | 44 deg | 5° |
| AW | 49° | 5° | 50 degrees | 6° |
Both have 2–4° steps in the long irons, widening to 4–6° in the short irons. The P790 is an even 5° from the 9-iron to the AW, while the ZXi5 widens to 6° at the AW. That is only the numbers: I haven't hit the P790, so I haven't checked its distance gaps from club to club. Before you buy, check them against your own carry.
On price, the official six-iron set is JPY 191,400 and Rakuten is JPY 118,800, a gap of JPY 72,600 (about 38%). Adding single clubs costs JPY 31,900 each, so decide in advance which number to start from. In October I saw the price tag on a new six-iron set at a local golf shop. The official JPY 191,400 divided by six is about JPY 31,900 a club (my calculation). The JPY 118,800 on Rakuten is a price I saw online, not in the shop.
The downsides: the price, and the fact that I haven't hit it, so I can't confirm the gaps from club to club. If you want shot-shaping more than forgiveness, it may feel a little lacking.
What this rating is based on
This rating is based on the maker's official specs (loft, head volume, adjustability) and actual selling prices on Rakuten Ichiba and the official store.
Measure 10 balls yourself (free tool)
Check before you buy
The set makeup (which iron it starts from) and whether single clubs can be added.
If a test shot or two feels long, that may just be the good end of your normal spread. Hit 10 balls with the same club and your distances will vary by 20 yards or more. So hit 10 and look at both the average and the spread.
FAQ (irons)
Will longer-hitting irons lower my scores?
If your 7-iron goes farther but your 8-iron gains just as much, club selection gets no easier. What matters is the distance gap between clubs.
Is it reckless for a mid-handicapper to play players' irons?
Your misses show up more, which gives you more to work on. But they're not for everyone.
Should I buy a set or add individual clubs?
If you want even gaps between clubs, sticking to one series is easier to manage.
