FORGIVENESS RATING

With the looks of a blade and playability of a cavityback the P790s are a potent mix. A forged face delivers great feel, while speed foam in the internal cavity (mid and long irons) supports the face and optimises sound.

With the looks of a blade, but playability of a cavityback, the P790s are a potent cocktail. Our test pro liked the lively, slighter lighter feel, which in part is down to the Dynamic Gold 105 being 22g – 25g lighter than a traditional Dynamic Gold shaft. With a ball speed average of 124mph the P790 was tied (with Titleist AP3 and Callaway Rogue Pro) for the fastest on test (this category). The P790 didn’t quite out-shine the Titleist for overall carry distance (184 yards vs 179 yards) but our data does prove how closely the two are matched.
