Forum Thread of the Day: “P790 irons for low-handicappers?”

Published

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from neath2nd who is on the lookout for feedback from low-handicappers who have used TaylorMade’s P790 irons. Plenty of WRXers with low handicaps have done so and have been sharing their perspective on the clubs in our forums, with plenty of interesting thoughts offered up.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Chris larson: “I’m a +1 using the P790 3-PW for a year now. Love the 3 iron! Struggled with yardage and big gaps between some clubs. Seven iron was 165 with AP2’s, and with P790’s it went to 185 on trackman. Not giving up with them yet.”
lyons107: “Don’t know what you consider low but I’m a +5 and really liked the look and idea behind the 790s. Had a really short poor fitting, and after eight rounds I switch back to my 770s. Had some trouble fitting distances in with my wedges. Also would get a handful of “flyers” that would sail 10-15 yards long, assuming I was catching it high on the face and spinning way too little but never had that problem with my last set of irons. If you properly get fit and need the distance they’re great though, IMO”
iceman1118: “While I am not a plus, again, now sure how low you are looking for. I finished the season at a seven and ball striking is one of my strengths. Putting holds me back, common, I know, but it’s the truth. I was fitted for the new 790s late August and had probably 25 rounds with them so far. The right shaft fit is what makes or breaks this set. Sure, I gained a club of distance, but I am fairly certain that is due to the loft of the club more than anything. For example, I was in an off the rack Titleist 718 CB. The seven iron in that set was 35 degrees and flew 175 for me. My eight iron is now 35 degrees, and it flies the same 175. No so-called fliers and I hit my numbers. When I hit a green, I get a perfect one hop and stop. It’s a great set.”
driveandputtmachine: “If you are a low spin player, you may very well not get along with the p790 no matter what shaft you use. I am a low handicap high spin player so the p790’s work great for me.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
