The P·770, a better-player’s distance iron has just seen its latest update. P·770 is built for mid to low-handicap golfers who want a compact head shape but who also desire more ball speed and some nice forgiveness.
P·770 was first released in 2017 alongside the P·750, and it was a better-player’s cavity-back iron, but in 2020, it was updated and radically changed. The cavity-back design was gone, and in its place, the 2020 P·770 featured a hollow-body construction that featured a look in the address position that accomplished golfers would appreciate, it was like P·790’s little beast brother.
Updated again in 2023, and now TaylorMade has updated it again for the 2025 season. The new P·770 irons have the same script on the side and brushed chrome finish that the other P Series irons have been given, so from a visual standpoint, golfers and fitters can opt to use them as a complete set or blend the P·770 with P·790, P·7CB or even P·7MB irons to create a blended but cohesive set.
P·770 irons utilise players forged construction to deliver pure feel at impact as well as a great sound, responsiveness, and feedback.
“We’ve done a lot of work to fine-tune the feel of the new P·770. This is the ideal iron for the player that needs some forgiveness and performance benefits but doesn’t want to sacrifice any feel or control. In my opinion, this is our most forgiving, best feeling P·770 to date.” – Matt Bovee, Global Category Director – Irons and Wedges
In the address position you will straight away notice the topline of the P·770 to be thinner. The sole is still slightly wider than the P·7CB and P·7MB, but it is thinner than other TaylorMade irons. The tight leading-edge radius and thin sole should help the P·770 get in and out of the turf more efficiently while also creating a higher launch angle with the long irons.
TaylorMade designers have also strategically positioned tungsten weights inside each head, with the precise location and amount of tungsten varying by club. This allows TaylorMade to lower and elevate the centre of gravity (CG) location based on what the club is designed to do. TaylorMade refers to this as FLTD CG, with the long irons having the most tungsten and lowest CG, so they produce a higher launch angle. Progressing through the set, the CG location rises, so the short irons feature the highest CG locations, so shots come off lower for increased accuracy and control.
The P·770 feature L-shaped faces that are forged using 4041 stainless steel and designed to wrap under the leading edge and into the sole. On the sole from 3-iron to 7-iron feature a Speed Pocket slot directly behind the leading edge. This polomer slot allows the lower portion of the hitting area to flex more efficiently on low-struck shots for increased distance. As with the last few models of P·770 the inner chamber is injected with SpeedFoam Air, a light material that soaks up excessive vibrations to enhance sound and feel.
The lofts of the new P·770 are typical for a modern better-player distance iron. The 3-iron clocks in at 19 degrees, 6-iron at 29 degrees and 9-iron at 41 degrees with the P·770 pitching wedge at 45 degrees of loft. This makes the P·770 ideal for a combo set.
For players looking for a bit more forgiveness and ball speed, P·770 is very similar in construction and appearance to the P·790 but with a shorter blade length and slightly thinner topline making it perfect to blend a set together. If you want to go the opposite way in the TaylorMade family of irons they will also blend perfectly with the new P·7CB too.
P·770 are available for pre-order beginning July 31 and available at retail starting Sept. 6 at an RRP per iron of €230. SelectFit heads will also be in retail stores beginning July 31 for golfers that want to get custom fit. For more information, including custom options, visit TaylorMadeGolf.eu
