Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much help each iron gives. The P·770 has a hollow body, and testers found it easy to launch, even in the long irons. It also forgives more than you'd expect from a players' iron, with mishits still carrying well and landing close together. The P·7CB is a forged cavity back built for control. Testers describe consistent spin and a mid to mid-high flight, but they also say off-centre strikes lose distance and the longest irons can be hard to get airborne.

Both have a compact shape, a thin topline and minimal offset. Both feel soft and solid from the centre and firmer on mishits. With the same 33° 7-iron loft and 37-inch length, many reviewers suggest using them together in a combo set.

Choose the P·770 Irons if…

you want a players' look that still gives you help with launch and forgiveness, especially if you're stepping up from game-improvement irons or swing at a moderate 80-90 mph.

Choose the P·7CB Irons if…

you're a low-handicap player who hits the centre of the face consistently and wants controlled, repeatable spin on approach shots more than distance or help with mishits.

Common questions

Which is easier to launch in the long irons?
The P·770, which testers found easy to launch even in the long irons. They noted that the P·7CB's longest irons can be hard to get airborne.
Can I combine the P·770 and P·7CB in one set?

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Forgiveness: the P·770 Gives More Help

Most reviewers rated the P·770's forgiveness highly for a players' iron. They said mishits still carried well and held the green, and one testing video highlighted tight dispersion front to back and side to side. One article said it isn't ultra-forgiving, and one video saw a clear distance loss on strikes low on the face. Opinions on the P·7CB were split. Several sources found it more forgiving than expected or than its predecessor, but one article and one testing video rated it low, saying off-centre strikes lost distance and direction. The hollow-body P·770 handles misses more reliably, and the P·7CB asks for a more consistent strike.

Launch and Spin: P·770 Higher in Long Irons

Reviewers found the P·770 easy to launch. One article said it flies higher than other irons with the same number, and in testing videos even the 4-iron got airborne easily. One article noted the short irons fly lower and more penetrating. On spin, one article called it lower than traditional benchmarks, while others described it as ample or high. Reviewers described the P·7CB's flight as mid to mid-high, with consistent spin. One article said the P·7CB's good strikes launch and spin slightly higher than the P·770's, though one testing video found average launch about the same once mishits were counted. Both have a 33° 7-iron, but reviewers said the P·7CB's longest irons may need more help getting up.

Feel and Sound: Soft From the Centre on Both

Reviewers described the P·770 as soft and solid, and one testing video found it softer than earlier versions. One article heard a quiet, dull click on centre strikes and said off-centre hits sound louder and feel firmer. Reviewers praised the P·7CB as very soft and close to a blade. One article heard a crisp click, and one video said it sounds like a pure blade. One article and one video found its feel less consistent across the face, with mishits feeling firmer or clunky. Both feel soft when struck well, but reviewers mentioned the P·7CB's varying feel on mishits more often.

Shot Shape: Workable, Neither Has a Bias

One article said the P·770 has no draw bias thanks to minimal offset and is easy to fade, draw and flight high or low. A testing video also called it workable. Opinions were split, though: in another video, a natural drawer found it hard to fade and shape. Reviewers pointed to workability more often for the P·7CB. They described a neutral centre of gravity, less offset and no bias toward either side, and one tester said his misses came from the face rather than the club. Neither model leans left or right, but reviewers more consistently framed the P·7CB as the shot-shaping iron.
