TaylorMade P790 (2023) irons
Players distance, 2.0 of 5 for forgiveness
TaylorMade's players distance iron of 2023: a forged face 1.56 mm at its thinnest over SpeedFoam Air, 2.7 mm of offset at the 7-iron and a 30.5° 7-iron. TaylorMade rated its forgiveness mid-high, a step below its game improvement irons. TaylorMade's own store still listed the 2023 P790 on 18 Oct 2026, at a reduced price, but said it was not available, and the 2025 P790 replaced it.

Choose it if
- You strike it well and want distance with a little help.
- You want a higher flight: the 30.5° 7-iron is weaker than most.
- You need a left-handed club or a senior flex: both were stock builds.
Choose something else if
- If you want more help on a mishit, choose TaylorMade's Qi Max irons, its game improvement head.

What changed in the P790
TaylorMade kept every lie and length club for club and made the 2025 P790 slightly stronger: a 30° 7-iron against 30.5°, half a degree in the 5-iron, the same 26.5° 6-iron, and a degree from the 8-iron to the AW and in the 4-iron. The 2025 face is 4340M steel, which TaylorMade calls 20% stronger, so it is thinner and faster, and it says the 2025 7-iron's sweet spot is up to 24% larger. Both are forged hollow bodies filled with SpeedFoam Air. TaylorMade printed the 2023 set's offset, 2.7 mm at the 7-iron, and prints none for the 2025 set; the stock steel shaft moved from True Temper's Dynamic Gold to KBS.
A used 2023 set costs far less than a new 2025 P790, with lofts within a degree. Choose the 2023 P790 for nearly the same set for less, if a used one comes in your hand and flex; choose the 2025 P790 for a new set built to your shaft and flex, with the faster face.

P790 (2023): the questions buyers ask
- Is the TaylorMade P790 (2023) forgiving?
- Less than most here. It is TaylorMade's players distance iron, with 2.7 mm of offset at the 7-iron and a 30.5° 7-iron. It scores 2.0 of 5 on our reading of what TaylorMade publishes about it; the most forgiving iron sets we cover score 5.0.
- Who is the P790 (2023) for?
- It suits good strikers who want distance and a little help.
- Does the P790 (2023) come in senior or ladies flex?
- Senior, yes; ladies, no. TaylorMade listed senior (A), regular (R), stiff (S) and extra stiff (X).
- Is the P790 (2023) sold left-handed?
- Yes: TaylorMade made it left- and right-handed.
- What are the P790 (2023) lofts?
- 3-iron 19°, 4-iron 21°, 5-iron 23.5°, 6-iron 26.5°, 7-iron 30.5°, 8-iron 35°, 9-iron 40°, PW 45°, AW 50°, as TaylorMade published them. The full table with lie, length and offset is above.
- Which clubs come in a P790 (2023) set?
- 4-iron to PW or 5-iron to PW, each with or without the AW; TaylorMade's table also lists a 3-iron. Its women's graphite build is an inch shorter in every club, so check the length on a used set.
- How much does the P790 (2023) cost?
- TaylorMade's own store still listed the 2023 P790 on 18 Oct 2026, at a reduced price, but said it was not available. Used from $571.99 at 2nd Swing Golf, checked 31 Oct. In average condition or better, from $649.99. Prices change; the seller's page has today's.
How the 2.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what TaylorMade publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head class | 2 | Players distance: a compact head that forgives a little. |
| Offset | +0 | 2.7 mm at the 7-iron, below our 4.5 mm mark. |
| Sole | +0 | TaylorMade doesn't publish a sole width, so the sole earns no point. |
| Forgiveness score | 2.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is. TaylorMade does not publish a sole width.
