Where it wins

- Feel85
- Sound83
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a low-to-mid handicapper who wants P790 distance and feel in a more compact, workable players' shape.
You need maximum forgiveness (the P790) or want a true players' iron with traditional lofts (the P7MC).
Pros
- P790-like distance in a more compact players' shape - a forged hollow body with a fast 4140 steel face and Speed Pocket
- Forged-iron-like feel from the SpeedFoam-filled hollow body, with a pleasing softness and solid feedback
- Weaker lofts than the P790 launch it higher and spin it more, giving up virtually no carry
- A compact, clean players' shape with a thin topline and minimal offset
Cons
- Not as forgiving as the P790 - the smaller head trades some MOI for shape
- A players-distance iron - moderately strong lofts, not for traditional gapping
- A compact head for better ball strikers
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairStable for its size - not as forgiving as the P790 due to its smaller head, but a very good job retaining speed and distance on mishits, the forged hollow body giving dependable off-centre performance. Good forgiveness for a compact players-distance iron.
Distance
StrongP790-like - the forged 4140 steel face, Speed Pocket and SpeedFoam give P790-like ball speed, giving up virtually no carry despite weaker lofts, with strong, fast distance. Elite distance for a compact players-distance iron.
Workability
SolidCompact and workable - the compact players' shape gives shot-shaping control, a smaller, more workable head than the P790. Good workability for a players-distance iron, above the larger P790.
Feel
ExcellentForged-like - the forged 4140 face and internal SpeedFoam give a forged-iron-like feel despite the hollow body, with a pleasing softness and a solid, soft sensation. Excellent feel for a hollow players-distance iron.
Sound
ExcellentSolid and damped - the SpeedFoam keeps the note solid rather than hollow, a muted, controlled acoustic. A refined sound for a hollow players-distance iron.
Looks at address
ExcellentCompact and clean - a compact players' shape with a thin topline and minimal offset, a clean, premium look. One of the best-looking players-distance irons of its era.
