Reviewers agree the TaylorMade P790 irons deliver blazing speed, maximum distance, and a butter-soft forged feel packaged in a sleek players look at address, earning a solid 89 median score.

How this page is made: each reviewer’s verdict, sentiment, score and launch numbers are machine-extracted from their video — summarised, not quoted word for word — and “How to choose” and each intro are machine-written from those. Head-to-head records count only reviewers who tested both clubs — we never infer a winner from two separate reviews. We have not tested these products ourselves.
