Which to choose

The biggest difference is loft and purpose. The P∙790 has a stronger 30.5° 7-iron, and testers single it out for fast ball speed and strong distance through the mid and long irons. The P·770 has a 33° 7-iron and a more compact profile. Testers found it more workable, able to shape draws, fades and low shots, and its overview says it spins more than the P790.

Both are forged, hollow-body players' distance irons with a 62.5° lie and a 37-inch 7-iron. Testers say both launch the long irons easily and hold distance on mishits. The P∙790 is aimed at a wider range of golfers, roughly scratch to the mid-20s. The P·770 suits better players who aren't especially long hitters, or golfers building a combo set.

Choose the P·770 Irons if…

you're a better player who wants a compact, blade-like iron with a weaker 33° 7-iron, a bit more spin and enough workability to shape shots both ways, or you want an iron to pair with the P790 or P7MB/MC in a combo set.

Choose the P∙790 Irons if…

you're anywhere from scratch to around a mid-20s handicap and want the most ball speed and distance in a players'-style look, with a stronger 30.5° 7-iron, and you don't mind paying a premium price.

Which is easier to work the ball with?
The P·770. Most testers could shape draws, fades and low shots with it, though low shots sometimes came out higher than intended. With the P∙790, testers found the long irons hard to flight down into a headwind.
Who is each iron aimed at?
The P∙790 suits low- to mid-handicappers, roughly scratch to the mid-20s. The P·770 is aimed at better players who aren't especially long hitters, and it also works in a combo set with the P790 or P7MB/MC.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The P·770 Spins a Bit More

Reviewers found the P·770's long irons easy to get airborne, and they credited its lower centre of gravity. One reviewer said it launches higher than the P∙790, and in one testing video a low shot came out higher than intended. Two reviewers placed its spin above the P∙790's, and one video praised its stopping power on fast greens. On the P∙790, launch reports were split. One reviewer called it playable rather than high, while others described high long-iron flights. One video called its spin healthy, but another said it runs low, so the ball stops less well on firm greens. Overall, the 33° P·770 was seen as higher spinning, and the 30.5° P∙790 was seen as lower spinning.

Forgiveness: Both Hold Distance on Mishits

Most reviewers said the P·770 kept ball speed and distance on off-centre strikes. One called its forgiveness outstanding, and another said the head plays more forgiving than it looks. One testing video disagreed and noted clear distance loss on low-face strikes. Reviewers also rated the P∙790 strongly here, saying off-centre hits, even toward the toe, carried well. One reviewer judged it more forgiving than the 2023 P·770 but less forgiving than a larger cavity back, and noted that its mishits feel firmer. Both irons were praised for holding distance on mishits, but only the P∙790 drew a direct comparison saying it is the more forgiving of the two.

Workability: The P·770 Shapes Shots More Easily

Most testers found the P·770 workable. One reviewer said it shapes shots easily both ways, and one video showed a small draw and low stingers. Opinions were split, though. Another tester, a natural drawer, said it was hard to fade. For the P∙790, one reviewer found a fade easier to hold than a draw and said its long irons were hard to flight down into a headwind. One video rated it less suited to shot shaping than the P·770 and linked this to its tighter dispersion. Overall, the P·770 came across as the shot-shaper's iron, while the P∙790 leans toward straighter flight.

Feel and Sound: Solid P·770, Crisp P∙790

Reviewers described the P·770's feel as medium-soft, solid and forged-like. One video called it among the best-feeling irons the tester had hit. Another said it lacks the softness of the MB and MC models, and one review listed less feedback than smaller players' irons as a con. Its sound was described as quiet and low-pitched, with one reviewer impressed from the first swing. The P∙790's short irons felt medium-soft and its long irons livelier, with mishits firmer but not harsh. Several reviewers praised its sound as crisp, punchy or soft. Reviewers liked both, but praise for sound came up more often for the P∙790.

Looks: The P·770 Is the More Compact Head

Reviewers liked the P·770's look, describing it as compact and blade-like with a traditional silhouette. One reviewer noted a thinner topline and less offset than the P∙790, which matches its 0.09 in (2.4 mm) offset. One video called it possibly the best-looking iron the tester had seen. The P∙790 was called the cleanest version yet, with a satin or matte finish and a sleek top line, and its offset is 0.11 in (2.7 mm). One video found it a little larger and less refined than the P·770, while another tester wanted chunkier long irons. The P·770 is seen as the sleeker shape, and the P∙790 as the slightly fuller one.
