P·7MC Irons details →

Which to choose

The biggest difference is construction and how much help each iron gives. The P·770 is a hollow-body players' distance iron, built for high, easy launch from the long irons and distance that holds up on off-centre strikes. The P·7MC is a forged muscle-cavity players iron. It offers only a little more help than a blade, and testers say golfers who need real forgiveness have better choices.

In exchange, the P·7MC gives the softer forged feel; the P·770's overview notes it doesn't feel as soft as the MC. Both are workable and have compact heads. The 7-irons have the same 62.5° lie and 37-inch length. The P·770 7-iron is a touch stronger at 33° against 34° and has slightly more offset.

Choose the P·770 Irons if…

you want a traditional-looking iron with extra launch, distance and forgiveness in the long irons, especially if you aren't a particularly long hitter.

Choose the P·7MC Irons if…

you're a consistent ball striker who values a soft forged feel and shot-shaping control more than help on mishits.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
The P·770. Testers found its distance holds up well on mishits. The P·7MC is only a touch more forgiving than a muscle-back blade and has limited forgiveness compared with game-improvement irons.
Which feels softer?
The P·7MC, which testers describe as having a soft, satisfying forged feel. The P·770 feels solid and stable, but not as soft as TaylorMade's MB or MC models.
Can I combine them in one set?
Yes. Both overviews mention combo sets, and the P·770 is named as a partner for the P7MB/MC.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Feel and Sound: The P·7MC Is Softer

Reviewers liked the P·770's feel. One called it medium-soft with a solid, connected strike, another said it feels like a forged iron despite the hollow build, and one tester ranked it among the best-feeling irons he has hit. One testing video noted it lacks the ultra-soft feel of the MB and MC, and one pros-and-cons list said it gives less feedback than smaller players' irons. Sound comments were mild to positive. Two reviewers called the P·7MC's centre strikes very soft, one rating it among the best-feeling TaylorMade irons. A third reviewer barely commented on feel, and no source reviewed its sound. Opinions on the P·770 are mostly positive but mixed, while the P·7MC got the stronger praise for softness.

Launch and Spin: Easy Height From the P·770

Several reviewers said the P·770's long irons are easy to launch high, crediting its lower centre of gravity. One testing video added that a low shot came out higher than intended. On spin, two sources placed it above the P790. One said it spins less than the P·7MC, and another said there was still enough spin to hold greens. Views on the P·7MC's flight are split. One reviewer found plenty of height and spin but warned low-ball hitters may see approaches run through greens. One testing video found a higher, easier-to-launch flight than the MB, but quite low spin in the long irons, which ran out, while wedge spin was good. Reviewers consistently described easy long-iron launch for the P·770, while reports on the P·7MC's flight and spin were more mixed.

Forgiveness: The P·770 Offers More Help

Most sources rated the P·770's forgiveness well. One reviewer called it outstanding and consistent across the face, and several said ball speed and distance held up on mishits. One reviewer added that the head looks less forgiving than it plays. One tester pushed back, reporting noticeable distance loss on strikes low on the face despite the speed slot. One reader comment also said it is not the most forgiving iron. For the P·7MC, one reviewer called its forgiveness "sneaky good" for a players iron, thanks to slightly wider soles and perimeter weighting, but noted that more forgiving options exist. One testing video found only a little more forgiveness than the MB. Both are players irons, but reviewers credited the P·770 with clearly more help on off-centre strikes.

Distance: The P·770 Rated Longer

Reviewers mostly praised the P·770's distance. One found ball speed near the top of their database with even gapping, another called distance excellent, and one testing video called it a fairly strong distance iron, especially in the long irons. One tester saw it differently: he found distances not excessive and counted that as a plus compared with the P790. Another found the 9-iron a little short. For the P·7MC, one reviewer said it still delivers plenty of distance. One testing video found shorter-than-expected distances, especially with the long irons, though the test was played in cold conditions. A third source gave no distance verdict. On the evidence available, the P·770 got the stronger distance reviews.

Looks at Address: Both Compact and Classic

Reviewers praised how the P·770 looks. They described a traditional, blade-like look with a brushed finish and a compact head with rounded toe shaping. One said even the 3-iron looks manageable, and one tester called it possibly the best-looking iron he has seen. One reviewer described a thinner topline than the P790, while a testing video called it slightly thicker. The P·7MC also drew strong praise for a compact, chiseled, tour-style head that looks stunning behind the ball. One reviewer said its topline is thicker than razor-thin styles, which may not suit everyone. Another felt the head looks big on the shelf but good at address. Offset is 0.09 in on the P·770 7-iron against 0.08 in on the P·7MC, so on paper they are nearly identical at address.
