Which to choose

The biggest difference is distance versus control. The P∙790 has a stronger 30.5° 7-iron loft and testers praise it for fast ball speed and strong distance. The P·770 has a 33° 7-iron loft, and some testers found it a shorter control iron, though others felt its long irons kept up with the P790. The P·770 is also easier to shape: testers say you can flight it up or down, while the P∙790's long irons are hard to flight down into a headwind.

Both are forged, hollow-body irons with 37-inch 7-irons, minimal offset and a soft, solid feel. The P∙790 covers a wider range of golfers, roughly scratch to the mid-20s. The P·770 targets scratch to about 10-handicap players.

Choose the P∙790 Irons if…

you want the most distance from a players'-style look, with off-centre hits that keep their speed, and your handicap is anywhere from scratch to the mid-20s.

Choose the P·770 Irons if…

you're a scratch to roughly 10-handicap player who cares more about shaping shots and controlling trajectory than raw distance, or you want a compact iron that slots into a combo set with the P790 or P7CB.

Which is easier to work and flight down?
The P·770. Testers describe it as easy to shape and flight up or down, while the P∙790's long irons are hard to flight down into a headwind.
Which suits higher handicappers better?
The P∙790, which testers recommend for golfers from about scratch to the mid-20s. The P·770 is aimed at scratch to roughly 10-handicap players and isn't built for high handicappers who need maximum forgiveness.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The P·770 Holds Greens Better

Most reviewers found the P∙790 easy to get airborne, and several described high peak heights in the long and mid irons. One reviewer called the trajectory playable rather than high-launching. Opinions on spin were split: one tester found it healthy and consistent, another felt the short irons spin more than before, and a third said it runs low, which costs stopping power into wind or on firm greens. The P·770 was also described as easy to launch, including the 4-iron. One reviewer noted that its long irons fly high while the short irons stay more penetrating. Two sources reported ample or high spin, though one called it lower than traditional benchmarks. Overall, the P·770 drew more consistent praise for spin and stopping power.

Forgiveness: The P∙790 Is More Uniformly Praised

Reviewers rated the P∙790's forgiveness highly. They pointed to a larger sweet spot and said off-centre strikes, even toward the toe, keep good speed and distance. One reviewer said it is more forgiving than the previous P770 but not as forgiving as a larger cavity back. Another said it gives decent help without being a game-improvement iron. Opinions on the P·770 were more mixed. One reviewer felt its Mid forgiveness rating undersells it, and in testing videos, quarter-inch and half-inch misses still performed well. Another reviewer called it forgiving but not ultra-forgiving, and one tester saw a clear loss of distance on strikes low on the face. Overall, the P∙790's forgiveness was praised more consistently, while views on the P·770 were split.

Workability: The P·770 Shapes More Easily

Few reviewers rated the P∙790 as a shot-shaping iron. One said it is easier to hold a fade than a draw and suspected the offset and hosel keep the face slightly square. In testing videos, one reviewer called it less suited to shot shaping than the P·770 and said the tight dispersion makes it harder to hit a draw or fade on demand. With minimal offset, the P·770 has no draw bias according to one reviewer, who found fades, draws, and high or low shots easy to hit. Another tester called it workable, with easy flighted chips. Not everyone agreed: one reviewer who naturally draws the ball found it hard to fade. Overall, the P·770 is generally rated the more workable of the two, though not by every reviewer.

Looks and Feel: Both Win Praise

Reviewers liked the P∙790's looks and called it cleaner and sleeker than earlier versions, with a satin finish that doesn't glare. One reviewer felt it looks a little larger and less refined than the P·770 from behind the ball. Its feel was described as soft, with mishits firmer but not harsh, and several sources praised its crisp, solid sound. The P·770 was called the best-looking iron they had seen by two testers in videos. One reviewer noted it has a thinner topline than the P∙790, though another disliked how the back of the 4-iron shows at address. Its feel was described as soft, solid and superb, though one reviewer found off-centre hits louder and harsher. Overall, the P·770 looks more compact and blade-like at address.
