   Really good stuff here, so glad Johnny had Paul explain why lofts are stronger in these type of irons. I’ve been trying to fight the “It’s all marketing” crowd with pretty much the same explanation, but some are just prone to not accepting new technology is different than their beloved irons from 20 years ago, even 10 years ago.

   Can’t wait to try both the new 790 and 790TI

   My biggest takeaway is this guy bought a set of PXGs off a used rack that probably don’t fit his game at all, just to own a set of PXGs. He said they weren’t fitted to him, so obviously he didn’t get them from PXG. Buy the right clubs for you not the ones that you think make you look good!!

   Thanks! I’ve always played traditional irons, but really liked the performance of the 790s I tried at the range off mats. Will have to give these a good look and definitely have my pro do a fitting if I get that far.

   If you ever get the opportunity to go to The Kingdom, do it! I was there several years ago for a PSi iron fitting, and VJ was there, about 50 feet to my left with his entourage. He was there a few days before the Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach. I was never so nervous hitting balls in my life…didn’t want to do a Tin Cup shank!!! But it was a great morning and I learned a lot.

   I purchased the P790 Ti, after using the P790 for 2 years and I freaking adore them

   I wish you’d asked about gapping and “flyers”.

       Thanks!

       The gapping from PW-3i for example, is generally in the 10-15 yd range? I think there is a concern that the PW also flies so far, that you’re having to add another club at the bottom, which effectively negates the pro strong loft argument, ultimately shifting the entire bag by a club.

       I think the anti-strong loft crowd would love to see the forgiveness/launch/spin without the jacked distances (lofts aside), so their gapping throughout the bag stays “traditional”.

         The gapping of irons happens across all OEM’s and should be addressed with a fitting. You spend $1200 on a new set of irons and then dont drop the extra $80 to insure they are fit to you and your swing. My older generation P790 were spot on and gapped perfectly. This new generation I actually started with the PW and adjusted the loft to what I wanted vs. what the club was given me. BINGO – perfect set with forgiveness, consistency and trajectory. I have never had a flyer with the old P790 and nothing with the new P790. Simple a great iron if you put the time and energy into making them YOUR clubs.
