Who It’s For: Accomplished golfers who want a compact club that delivers extra distance and a soft feel.
The Skinny: The 2023 version of the P•770 irons have tipped more toward the better-player category, but they still deliver more distance than you might expect from a club of this size, along with a soft feel.
The Deep Dive: Last season, Tiger Woods and Collin Morikawa blended in a TaylorMade P•770 long iron, or two, with their other irons because the clubs delivered more ball speed and a higher launch angle. However, TaylorMade encouraged recreational and club players to think of the P•770 as a slightly smaller version of the P•790, one of the most popular irons the company has ever produced. If you liked what the P•790 could do but wanted a shorter blade length, then the P•770 was for you.
Golfers who have a repeatable swing and who like to shape shots around the course but want more distance made it clear to TaylorMade that they liked the P•770. So with the 2023 upgrade of the P•770, TaylorMade has opted not to overhaul the club drastically, but instead, the company refined it.
