Where it wins
- Feel90
- Looks89
- Sound87
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a low-handicap ball striker who wants a soft, workable forged tour cavity with detailed feedback and more playability than a blade.
You need real forgiveness or distance (the P770 or P790), or a high-launching game-improvement iron.
Pros
- Among the softest, nicest-feeling players' irons on the market - very soft and sweet on centre, with precise feedback
- A tour cavity that blends stability and workability - co-forged tungsten and lightweight MMC free up weight for perimeter weighting
- More playable than the P7MC it succeeds - a 2mm wider sole and more forgiving short irons
- Tour-validated - Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood put it in play, Rory winning early in 2024 with the 4-iron
Cons
- A players' cavity-back - less forgiving on off-centre strikes than the P770
- Traditional players' lofts and moderate distance - for skilled ball strikers
- +5 to 5 handicaps - feel firms up noticeably on poor strikes
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairMore than expected, for a tour cavity - the co-forged tungsten and lightweight MMC free up weight to add perimeter weighting and make the short irons more forgiving, the classic cavity back providing more forgiveness than you might expect, if less than the P770. Good forgiveness for a players' cavity-back.
Distance
StrongPlayers' iron distance - surprisingly little carry difference versus the P770, with traditional players' lofts. Solid distance for a players' cavity-back, not a distance iron.
Workability
ExcellentStability with shot-shaping - the optimized perimeter weighting and co-forged tungsten give a blend of stability and workability and maximum accuracy, the compact, tour-shaped head rewarding shot-making. Elite workability for a players' iron.
Feel
Class-leadingAmong the softest on the market - right up there among the softest and nicest feeling players' irons on the market, very soft and sweet on centre, with addictive impact from the Compact Grain Forged 1025C steel. Class-leading feel for a players' iron.
Sound
ExcellentSoft and pure - a soft, refined note off the Compact Grain Forged 1025C steel, a premium forged acoustic. Class-leading sound for a players' iron.
Looks at address
ExcellentCompact tour cavity - a compact tour-cavity shape with a thin top line and short blade length, an incredible, premium players' look. One of the best-looking players' irons of its era.
