IronsTaylorMade P790 Irons (2025 model)Specs and who they suit
Updated: Oct 31, 2026Contains affiliate links
TaylorMade's hollow-body iron has SPEEDFOAM AIR inside. It looks slim at address yet is forgiving, which is its strength. The Japan-spec lofts are 30 degrees 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 costs JPY 118,800, about 40% less than the official six-iron set at JPY 191,400. The thing to watch is that, because the lofts are strong, the distance gaps between clubs tend to close up. The 2025 P790 uses a lightweight new material in the face, 20% stronger than before. TaylorMade says the sweet area is up to 24% larger than the 2023 P790 7-iron (it varies by club). My impressions from playing it are in “What I Learned from Hitting It” below.

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 from Hitting It
I hit the P790 as irons I tried and used. I hit them on the range and the course, with a standard shaft. For specs I didn't try, I rely on the official numbers.
Because the lofts are strong, the gaps between clubs tend to close up. I don't want to inflate numbers, so I'm not writing any measured figures. What matters is to check each club's distance with your own carry.
The claim that it looks thin at address yet is forgiving is something you can feel when you miss the center. The feel is soft, and the sound is a little higher. Compared with the irons I played before, how much it forgives is different.
Something other articles don't say. It goes so far that a gap opens up to the wedges. The way you choose the shaft also changes how high the ball flies.
If the official price and the Rakuten price differ, I think buying at the cheaper one is the smart move. You could also hesitate over used or last-year models, but what decides it for me is the peace of mind of buying new. I'm not writing what I paid.
What I can't praise: the price, and that it flies so far the spacing between clubs falls apart. For people who want workability more than forgiveness, it may feel 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.
