Head to head

TaylorMade P790 vs Titleist T250 irons

Choose the P790 if you want a boxed set or a softer or stiffer flex.

Choose the T250 if you want to build the set club by club or carry a 2- or 3-iron.

P790 $1,199.99T250 $1,499, each with its shop and checked date

Both are players distance irons, the class between a game improvement iron and a players' iron, and both score 2 of 5 here because neither maker publishes an offset or a sole width. The P790 has a forged face with SpeedFoam Air behind it, and TaylorMade rates its forgiveness mid-high; the T250 has a forged face and split tungsten weighting, and Titleist aims it at mid handicaps. Their lofts are close, a 30° 7-iron against 30.5°. The P790 comes as a set of seven, in senior to extra stiff flex; the T250 is sold by the club, in regular and stiff, from a 2-iron down.
