Which to choose

The biggest difference is who each iron is built for. The P∙790 is a hollow-body players' distance iron with a foam-filled head. Testers say it stays fast and generous on off-centre strikes, and it suits handicaps from roughly scratch to the mid-20s. The T150 is a forged players iron that looks almost like the T100. It's aimed at low handicappers and good mid handicappers close to single figures, and it still needs a fairly good ball striker.

Lofts differ too: the P∙790 7-iron is 30.5° and the T150 is 32°, and both are 37 inches long. The P∙790's long irons launch easily but are hard to flight down. The T150 is described as workable enough to shape shots and control flight height.

Choose the P∙790 Irons if…

you want a players-style look with more help on mishits and easy-launching long irons, and your handicap is anywhere from scratch to the mid-20s.

Choose the T150 Irons if…

you're a low or near-single-figure handicapper who wants a T100-like look and crisp feedback, plus the ability to shape shots and control flight height. It also works if you're building a combo set with T100s.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
The P∙790 covers a wider range of players, roughly scratch to the mid-20s, and testers say off-centre strikes keep plenty of speed and distance. The T150 is more forgiving than the T100 but still demands a fairly good ball striker.
Which has stronger lofts?
The P∙790 has the stronger 7-iron loft at 30.5°, compared with 32° on the T150. Both 7-irons are 37 inches long.
Which is better for controlling trajectory?
The T150 is described as workable enough to shape shots and control flight height. Testers found the P∙790's long irons hard to flight down into a headwind.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: Both Questioned on Spin

Most reviewers found the P∙790's long irons easy to launch, and testing videos showed high peak heights. One reviewer instead called the trajectory playable rather than high. Opinions on spin are split. One reviewer said the short irons fly lower with more spin and the mid irons hold greens, and one tester found spin healthy and consistent. Another tester felt spin runs low, especially on the 6-iron, which costs stopping power on firm greens or into a breeze. Reviewers said the T150 launches and lands much like the T100, steeply enough to stop quickly. Several noted lower spin than the T100. One presenter also found it spins less than a rival players iron and felt that may cost control from wet ground or semi-rough. Both irons drew some spin concerns, but the P∙790's long irons got more praise for height.

Forgiveness: Both Help, Measured Differently

Every review of the P∙790 counts forgiveness as a strength. Reviewers said off-centre strikes, even toward the toe, keep decent speed and carry with only small losses. One reviewer rated it more forgiving than the P770 but less forgiving than a larger cavity-back iron, and noted that mishits feel firmer. The T150 was rated more forgiving than the T100, especially in the long irons, and one reviewer was surprised how well it handled thin strikes. Another reviewer felt its forgiveness falls slightly short of some competitors, and one tester found it less consistent than the T100 in 7-iron testing. The P∙790's forgiveness is judged against the P770 and bigger cavity-backs, while the T150's extra help is mostly measured against the T100.

Feel and Sound: Soft vs Traditional Forged

Reviewers rated the P∙790's feel as soft and pure. One described the short irons as medium-soft and quiet, with livelier, somewhat louder mid and long irons. Its sound was praised as punchy and crisp in one review and as solid and soft in a testing video, and one reviewer said mishits feel less harsh than on the previous model. On the T150, one reviewer called the feel solid and firm, another soft and solid, and a third described a traditional forged feel with crisp feedback and no sting. One presenter likened it to Titleist's T100 and MB irons, and one reviewer rated the sound superb. Both were well liked, but the P∙790 got more comment on sound and the T150 on its forged-iron feedback.

Looks: Players Shapes, Mixed P∙790 Views

The P∙790 was praised as the cleanest-looking version yet, with a sleek, blade-like shape and a satin or matte finish. Its published offset is 2.7 mm (about 0.11 in) on the 7-iron. Not everyone agreed: one tester said it looks a little larger and less refined than the P770, another wanted chunkier-looking long irons, and one reviewer's household member found the irons small and shiny. Reviewers described the T150 as compact and tour-style, with minimal offset, and nearly identical to the T100 from behind the ball. One reviewer noted a slightly thicker topline, and one tester said the head looks a little bigger from the front. Both have a players-iron look, but the P∙790 drew more mixed comments on size and refinement.

Shot Shape: Limits Noted on the P∙790

Reviews of the P∙790's shot shaping were mixed to negative. One reviewer found it easier to hold a fade than a draw and suspected the offset and hosel keep the face slightly square. One tester called it less shot-shaping friendly than the P770, saying its tighter dispersion makes it harder to hit a draw or fade on demand. On the T150, one reviewer praised its strong workability, easy control of flight height and enough spin to curve the ball either way. Another reviewer called its spin, though lower than the T100's, still workable. One tester, though, noticed a tendency to hit a slight fade with it. Reviewers raised shaping limits on the P∙790, while the T150 drew praise for workability from one reviewer alongside one tester's fade tendency.
