Which to choose

The biggest difference is shot shaping. Testers say the TaylorMade P∙790 flies straight and is harder to work, while the Titleist T200 makes it easy to shape draws and fades and to hit high or low shots. The two also suit different players. The P∙790 is aimed at mid-to-high handicappers and at skilled players who have lost swing speed. The T200 suits golfers from about scratch to a 12 handicap.

Both are hollow-body irons that launch high and feel solid. Reviews call the P∙790 very long, but testers disagree on how much distance the T200 gains. The 7-irons have almost the same specs: 30.5° vs 31° loft, 62.5° vs 63° lie, and both are 37 inches long.

Choose the P∙790 Irons if…

you're a mid-to-high handicapper, or a skilled player who has lost some swing speed, and you want easy launch and lots of distance without a bulky head, and you don't need to shape shots.

Choose the T200 Irons if…

you're a low-to-mid handicapper (about scratch to 12) who wants a players'-style look and the ability to shape shots both ways, or you're building a combo set with T100s.

Common questions

The T200. Testers found it easy to shape both ways and to flight high and low shots, while the P∙790 flies straight and is harder to shape.
Which is longer?
Reviews describe the P∙790 as very long for an iron of its size. Testers disagree on the T200: some saw a clear carry gain over the T100, others only a small one.
Is the 2021 model a big change from the previous version?
For the P∙790, reviews call it a modest upgrade that differs little from the 2019 model beyond the finish. For the T200, testers say it looks much cleaner than the first generation, with a narrower topline, a shorter blade and less offset.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Shot Shaping: The T200 Is Easier to Work

Few reviews discussed shot shape for the P∙790. One reviewer said its low spin makes shots straighter and harder to shape, although they can still be worked. In a testing video, its dispersion was tight and draws and fades came more easily from the P770. For the T200, one testing video found shaping easy. Low and high draws and high fades were all simple to hit, and the only struggle was a low fade. The other reviews of both irons did not cover shot bias. On this evidence, the T200 handled intentional curve better.

Launch and Spin: Both High, Spin Views Split

Reviewers described the P∙790 as a high launcher and credited a lower center of gravity. One noted a softer landing than the lower-flying 2019 version. Opinions on spin are split. One reviewer called it low spin and warned that greens can be harder to hold. Indoor testing in another review showed more spin than the 2019 model, and a testing video found a lot of backspin in the mid irons. The T200 is also designed to launch high. One testing video praised its peak height and steep descent for a 31° 7-iron and put spin in a good range. One reviewer found its spin very similar to the T100. The T200's spin drew fewer conflicting comments.

Feel and Sound: Louder T200, Mixed Views

Every review rated the P∙790's feel positively. It was described as solid and firm rather than thin, mishits gave feedback that does not sting, and a testing video called it nice at impact. One reviewer heard a deeper, medium-volume tone. Another found the sound more muted but barely different from the 2019 model. One reviewer found the T200 slightly less soft than the T100 and louder, more crack than thud. Another called the feel impressive and placed the sound between the T100 and T300. In a testing video it felt soft and forged-like and sounded good outdoors but clicky indoors. Sound drew mixed views for both, but the P∙790's feel was rated more uniformly.

Looks: The T200 Is the More Compact Head

One reviewer placed the P∙790 between game-improvement and players' irons in size, with progressive offset and a moderate topline, and called it slimmer than the 2019 version. Another said it is nearly identical to that model apart from a brushed finish. In a testing video it looked a bit larger and forgiving. One reviewer praised the T200 for a more compact topline and less offset than the original, matching the T100's offset. In a testing video it looked like a players' iron, though that video criticised the plastic-looking back insert as cheap. The P∙790 7-iron's offset is listed at 2.7 mm (0.11 in); no figure is given for the T200. The T200 has the more players'-style shape.
