Choose the Qi if you want the most help and distance.
Choose the P790 if you strike it well and want a players' look with some forgiveness.
Qi $899.99 · P790 $1,199.99, each with its shop and checked date
TaylorMade's own chart answers it: the Qi is a game improvement iron rated High for forgiveness, the P790 a players distance iron rated Mid-High, so the Qi forgives more, and it scores 3 of 5 here against the P790's 2. The Qi is also stronger-lofted (a 28° 7-iron against 30°), and TaylorMade rates it Longest for distance and High for trajectory, against Long and Mid-High for the P790. The P790 is the more workable head, with a thinner top line and a forged face.
