The 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are extremely forgiving for their size. Lots of ball speed. Gorgeous looks and satisfying feel. Great for golfers ready to step into players irons.
Introduction
In TaylorMade’s iron line up, the P790 reigns supreme for packing elite distance into a sleek package [review HERE]. But for players who want control over raw power, something in a more refined shape, there’s the new 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons. This iron defies conventional thinking about how much forgiveness you can get into a players iron while still delivering impressive ball speed and control.
Looks
The 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are some of the best looking irons to come out this fall, possibly trumping the P7CB, depending on your taste. In the bag, the back of the iron is super clean with a small TaylorMade T on the toe and a thin elevated ridge with the “P770” branding in a futuristic font.
At address, the P770 has a noticeably thinner top line than the P790. This is definitively a players iron with a compact blade length and straighter leading edge. Minimal offset gives you the confidence to shape the ball in any direction.
Comparing the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons (above and below, left) to the P7CB [review HERE], the P770 is a touch larger. The top line is thicker by a small margin, probably only noticeable when they’re side by side. Similarly the blade is a hair longer.
The more noticeable difference is that the sole of the P770 is about 1/8″ thicker than the P7CB. That gap is consistent from 4I through PW.
Sound & Feel
I’ll often quibble with OEM’s descriptions of feel, but TaylorMade nailed it with “Solid Forged Feel.” The 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons is soft on center, giving players a sweet reward for their focus. This is definitely “the best feeling P770 to date.”
This solid feeling pairs well with a quiet, dull “click” on well-struck shots. The audio feedback is very strong. When you get too far from center, the sound becomes significantly louder and harsher. You’ll also feel a firmer sensation in your hands. This level of feedback is important because, as I’ll discuss shortly, your mishits are going to perform really well.
Performance
In testing the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons, what stood out most to me is how much forgiveness is slammed into a compact iron. TM rates the forgiveness as “Mid” next to the “Mid-High” forgiveness of the P790, but I think that undersells the P770. Anytime I hit a mediocre shot, I’d grimace at the sensation then laugh at the fact that the ball ended up on the green. The consistency of the ball speed and distance are outstanding.

Speaking of distance, the lofts of the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are fairly traditional and largely unchanged from the previous generation [2023 P770 review HERE]. While these irons still produce outstanding ball speed and smash factors on center, they will launch and spin higher than other irons if you’re comparing 7I to 7I. If you need to have the longest 7I, opt for the P790. If you’d prefer to have a little more air under the ball, more stopping power, and more traditional distance gaps, you’ll love the P770.
Additionally, there have been tweaks to the FLTD CG we saw in the last generation. This design puts the center of gravity lower in the long irons and higher in the short irons. The purpose is to help players elevate their long irons and hit controlled, high spinning shots with their scoring clubs, and it works just as promised. Throughout the set, the launch and spin are very robust, and the numbers are consistent with those of traditional players cavity backs, making it easy to build combo sets.
Finally, though they are much more forgiving than conventional irons, the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons give the player a lot of control over their ball flight. There’s ample spin to hit controlled fades or draws, and the lack of offset keeps them from being draw biased. It’s easy to flight the ball higher or lower. This makes the P770 a great option for the player who wants to step away from game improvement irons but isn’t ready to sacrifice forgiveness entirely.
Conclusion
If your handicap is trending down and you’re ready to venture into players iron for the first time, the 2024 TaylorMade P770 irons are a sensational choice. They can also serve as that middle ground for players who no longer want the intense demands of a true blade like the P7MB [review HERE]. No matter how you arrive here, make sure you get fit, and you’ll be thrilled with the performance of this set.

I really like the looks of those. Inevitably begs the question of how they compare to the PXG 0317T irons that you’re gaming. I’d like to hear what you think each does better or worse than the other. I demoed the prior generation 770 and found that the sweet spot provided ample, if not too much, ball speed compared to off center hits. Wondering which provided greater consistency in your experience.
Doug,
I think they’re comparable in terms of ball speed consistency. As always, my advice for anyone considering buying either set is to get a fitting.

Hi Matt,
I’d like to piggy back Doug’s question. I think the comparison to the PXG 0317T is profound. In the testing by “Cool Clubs” it seems that the P770 has “greater stopping power” than all of the others. It seems like it took on the PXG 0317T, my current gamers, and added some spin and loft.
When you look at what TaylorMade is doing it seems that it is an improvement over the PXG 0317T in that it is a tad more forgiving and spins more.
So, I would ask this…which irons gave you the better numbers? and, I understand that it is about more than numbers…
Thanks much
David,
I don’t know that the P770 is objectively an improvement on the 0317T, but clearly they will be better for some players. In terms of the objective numbers – ball speed and smash factor – they were peers, and I didn’t see a substantial difference in launch and spin.

In my comment above, in referring to “…all the others” I am talking specifically about the PXG 0317T, Mizuno Pro 245, and Mizuno JPX Forged.
Thanks
PS I enjoyed your review!
I have always liked the looks of an iron with chamfered or soft rounded edges. I’ll bet these clubs will glide on turf (not necessarily thru) like butter, this yielding long but very thin divots. Distance and accuracy always a TM trade mark. I may just try these. Thanks for the article, Matt.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the review.
How would you compare the 2024 P770 to the Titleist T150 in term of feel/ball speed/forgiveness/flight.
Best regards
Alex,
I have a full review of the T150 here: https://pluggedingolf.com/titleist-t150-irons-review/

Soooo…
Disclaimer I’m definitely not a player who these clubs are aimed at.
My obsession with being better at golf spans 3 decades, but that has included time away and totally non playing periods. I have had limited professional lessons, but have been a regular weekend hacker over the years.
I spend over 6 months a year offshore on the world’s oilfield, and building consistency is therefore an issue. After getting through the baby years with my kids I decided I needed GI irons to get back into the game and went with TM Sim2 Max irons 4-PW. The initial feel was great and as a newly franked +30 HCP gave me confidence on mishits; at least the ball was heading forward past the ladies tee.
After 18 months of playing these, and settling a PB of 94 on new course (to me) with aslope rating of 128 in Scotland, whilst playing borrowed clubs, I reached the conclusion my clubs were holding me back. I beat my brother and B-I-L that day (on handicap), in fairly gusty conditions and had to ask if my clubs were holding me back on my home course. I particularly didn’t enjoy the hot face, trampoline, green overshoot I had been experiencing.
My nearside green wasn’t bad as I was using Vokey wedges, but anything outside that was a gamble and needed to hit the front face to keep the score down and the blow through shots limited.
I’m sure a fitting is the best way to go and I would have benefited from one, but I’m also financially restrained and geographically overpriced (NZ) for that. Took a punt and bought a set of P770s secondhand…
First impressions were as to be expected.
I am definitely clubbing up to hit the same distance. That is totally expected given the traditional lofts vs GI irons. What I would say is that my mishits are actually better line wise, but as expected are punishing distance wise. The caveat is, I now feel and see what went wrong. GIs don’t dig, they bounce, turn and don’t give feedback. I couldn’t diagnose a steep descent and bouncing club vs a no ground contact thin in summer. The P770s will definitely let me know. Feel. Divot (Not always obvious with GIs). And direction and distance.
I could have been and should have been scared of playing these, but my scores aren’t any worse and my green holding is definitely better. I’ll take the loss in distance, along with the feedback, and continue to improve my game by buying these.
No doubt the P790 blended with the P770s is what would have been the best option, but….
If I can accept the 4i , which is actually easier to hit (at least with my swing, than the Sim2s) despite a 2 club distance drop, with the distance holding capability. Wow. Love them. When I actually I achieve the handicap rating these clubs deserve I might look back and regret the purchase, but for now, my fairway and hybrid give me the distance I need off the 2nd shot, and these things give me predictable distance both off the fairway and shots I couldn’t even have attempted with GIs out of the rough and non favorable lies.
A bad round can be a really bad round, but on days I’m feeling flexible and not tensing up…. The sensation and feedback is brilliant. I’ve played with my scratch handicap F-I-Ls blades and can hit decent shots on the short irons, but never the longer clubs. These are very different. I might not get the range, but it still carries, and I get the feedback without the bone jarring mishits I got with the blades.
In summary… Get fitted. Take lessons and buy the clubs that industry professionals think will best advance your game.
Current handicap is still in the 20s but my playing partners get frustrated with that and say I’m more lower teens. That’s partly lack of submitted cards due tonlack if game time, and partly hanging on to GIs for too long.
In some ways I’m glad I didn’t get fitted locally though, as hiding off a mat in a SIM doesn’t tell the whole truth. I took a punt, took them to the course, and whilst I have days I don’t do them justice, the days I swing free and happy is reflected in my smile, score and mood at the end of the day.
0-10 handicap target audience? Really?
