Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much help each iron gives. The P·770 is a hollow-body players' distance iron. Testers say its long irons launch high and easily, and distance holds up well on off-centre strikes. The P·7CB is a forged cavity back built for control rather than distance. Its spin and flight are consistent, but its longest irons can be hard to get airborne and mishits lose distance and direction.

Both have a compact, clean look, and both 7-irons have 33° loft, 62.5° lie and a 37-inch length. Reviews call the P·7CB soft and solid from the centre. The P·770 feels solid and stable, though not as soft as TaylorMade's MB or MC models. Both can shape shots, and P·7CB reviewers often suggest P·770 long irons in a combo set.

Choose the P·770 Irons if…

you want a traditional-looking iron that launches the long irons high and keeps distance on mishits, and you aren't an especially long hitter.

Choose the P·7CB Irons if…

you're a low-handicap player who strikes the ball consistently and cares more about soft feel and repeatable spin and flight on approach shots than about distance.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
The P·770. Testers say its distance holds up well on off-centre strikes, while P·7CB testers are split but agree that strikes away from the centre are penalised to some degree.
Which is easier to launch in the long irons?
The P·770, whose long irons launch high and are easy to get airborne. Testers note that the P·7CB's longest irons can be hard to launch.
Can I combine them in one set?
P·7CB reviewers often suggest it, putting P·770 long irons in the set for players who struggle to launch long irons. The P·770 overview mentions combo sets with the P790 or the P7MB/MC instead.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: P·770 Gets Long Irons Up Easier

Reviewers of the P·770 repeatedly say its long irons are easy to launch high, and they credit a lower centre of gravity. In testing videos, one tester found a low shot came out higher than he intended. Two reviewers put its spin above the P790's, and others said it still holds greens. Opinions on the P·7CB's launch are split. Reviews describe it as mid to mid-high, as penetrating, or as slightly higher than the P·770 on good strikes. One tester found that mishits brought its average down to about the P·770's level, and another said its long irons may need help. Its spin was often called consistent. The P·7CB can fly slightly higher when struck well, but the P·770 gets its long irons airborne more easily.

Forgiveness: P·770 Holds Distance on Misses

Most reviews rate the P·770's forgiveness highly. They say its speed pocket and hollow body keep distance and ball speed up on mishits, and one called it outstanding across the face. Not every source agrees: one video tester noticed distance loss on low strikes, and a reader comment cited in one article said it is not the most forgiving iron. Views on the P·7CB are more divided. Several reviewers found it more forgiving than expected for a compact players' iron, or than the P7MC. Others rated its forgiveness low, saying mishits lose distance and direction and the long irons give little help. Where reviewers compared the two directly, one found the P·770 easier to use, and the P·7CB's mishits were seen as costlier.

Feel and Sound: P·7CB Is Softer From the Centre

Reviewers describe the P·770's feel as solid, stable and connected, and one compared it to a forged iron despite its hollow body. One video tester ranked it among the best-feeling irons he had hit. Another said it lacks the ultra-soft feel of the MB and MC models. Reviews called its sound quiet, low-pitched, or less hollow than expected. Reviewers often call the P·7CB very soft and close to a blade on centre strikes, with a crisp or blade-like sound. Several noted that mishits feel firmer, harsher or clunky, and one said its feel varies more across the face than the P·770's. The P·7CB gives a softer centre-strike feel and clearer feedback, while the P·770 feels more even across the face.

Looks and Shaping: Clean Heads, Split Workability

Reviewers praise the P·770's traditional, blade-like look. One noted a thinner topline and less offset than the P790 (the 7-iron's listed offset is 2.4 mm, about 0.09 in), while another described the topline as slightly thicker. One reviewer said the head looks inviting and makes the ball look bigger. P·7CB reviewers describe a thin topline, short blade length and minimal offset, though one video tester felt it looked small and did not inspire confidence. On shaping, opinions on the P·770 are split: some found it easy to work either way, while one tester struggled to hit fades. P·7CB reviewers call it workable with no bias either way. Both get praise for their looks, but only the P·770 drew mixed views on shaping.
