TaylorMade PSi Irons Review

• on December 17, 2015

50 Words or Less

Compared to the RSi2, there isn’t much new in the TaylorMade PSi irons .  Solid look and performance for the aspiring or better player.

Introduction

“Demand More.”  That’s what TaylorMade’s ads for the new PSi irons  implore you to do.  Demand better looks, better feel, and better performance.  We set out to test whether or not you get any of those things compared to the last generation’s RSi2 irons.

I have a fairly discerning eye when it comes to golf equipment, but, if you took the badges off, I doubt I could tell the difference between the new  PSi irons  and the RSi2 irons that they’re replacing.  That’s not necessarily a knock – the RSi2 and PSi hit that middle ground between giant shovel and butter knife.  The offset, top line, and sole width are all exactly what you’d expect from a club meant for the 10-15 handicapper .  The one thing that may bother some players are the slots in the face, but if these clubs perform well for you, it’s something you can get past.

Sound & Feel

The impact sound and feel of the TaylorMade PSi irons  is hard to put a label on because it’s very “in between.”  It’s not hard, but it isn’t soft either .  It’s not loud, not mushy, nor is it crisp and sweet.  It’s just in the middle.  I can’t see anyone hitting this and being disgusted, but I don’t imagine people will fall in love with the feel either.

Feedback on mishits is moderate .  You can tell when you miss it if you’re paying attention, but the sound and feel of misses is similar enough to pure strikes that you can be deceived if you’re simply pounding shot after shot.

Performance

Typically a company has 2-3 bullet points on why their new product is the greatest thing since sliced bread.  For the PSi irons ,  TaylorMade has listed over 7.  True to my nature, I’ll boil it down to one: these irons are good, but no different than the RSi2 .

Compared to similar irons, the forgiveness on mishits is as good if not a bit better.  I continue to be impressed with the ability of the sole slot to make thin shots perform more like pure strikes both in terms of launch angle and ball speed.  Please do keep in mind, however, that when I talk about forgiveness, that only relates to distance.  No iron, regardless of how many slots it has, will straighten out hooks, slices, pushes, and pulls.

In terms of distance, these irons can compete with just about anything else in this category.  TaylorMade actually increased the loft on most of the irons by 0.5 degrees compared to the RSi2, but few, if any, 10 handicaps will notice that difference.

The bottom line with the TaylorMade PSi irons  is this: if you’re a 10-15 handicap player who needs new irons, these are definitely worth a look, but they’re not significantly different than the RSi2 .  If you need to have the newest thing, prepare to spend an extra $300 over the last generation.

It appears that you like the RSI 2 irons more then the PSI. Are the PSI and RSI 2 the same size?

I don’t prefer either; I think they’re the same iron and the RSi2 costs $300 less. Yes, as I explained under “Looks”, these irons are virtually identical.

Thanks for that Matt, a very honest opinion and one I will take on board.

Hi bought the psi and the MP4 mizuno (blade). I hit both clubs the same but with less distance with the blade. I am a 12 handicap and both irons feels good. I only practice them on a matt. My question is , if I do the same hit miss (slice or hook) on both clubs. Do they react the same?

Assuming contact on the CoG, every club will produce the same hook or slice given the same club face and club path.

I’m used to better reviews than this from you. I doubt you even tried them out. I would’ve been interesting, as they are always dishing out a different stock shaft with each release. It’s not an exact KBS c taper light as far as I can ascertain because the weight is different. Why do Taylormade not let you know the Specs of their OEM shafts?

Is there something specific that leads you to the bold assertion that we didn’t even test these clubs? Or does our review simply not match your preferences and therefore must be wrong? As for TM’s stock shafts and specs, that’s a question you’d have to direct to the company directly. I don’t know.

If you did in fact hit them then I’m sorry. I just found the article lacking in info compared to your usual high standard. For many of us, we read these articles down the line a couple of years and we’re buying them of the shelf with their OEM shafts. That becomes almost the selling point. They changed the shaft from the RSI 2 to the PSI irons. If they’re almost the same irons then that’s the thing I want to read about. NO review I’ve read has really detailed that. I just read and viewed your piece on the Alpha driver and that was great! The photos on your reviews are always the best too….

It would be ideal if we always had access to previous models and comparable current models, but unfortunately that’s not always the case.

I’m glad you enjoyed the Alpha driver review.

TaylorMade PSi Irons Review

Having had Speed Pocket slots in the soles of irons for a while, last year TaylorMade introduced them on the faces of the RSi irons .

There were three models in that range and going forward, the larger headed RSi 1 set continues, which is good to see as that was the best of the bunch.

However, replacing the RSi 2 and RSi TP models is the TaylorMade PSi iron, which is promoted as a 'Players Performance' iron, hence the P for 'Players Slotted iron' in the PSi name.

The PSi still features the straight face slots as before, but it is in the head construction that TaylorMade has made big changes.

The Speed Pocket now features a cut through slot that connects with the undercut cavity to enable it to flex more and maintain ball speed across the face.

Married to this is what TaylorMade call a Dynamic Feel System (DFS) to cushion vibration at impact using dampening compounds and a multi-material badge.

The shape of the cut-through cavity and the amount of dampening changes as you go through the set depending on the loft of the club.

This it all does very well in a mid-sized head that looks good and feels good with a nice solid sound.

The top line at address is also midsized and I think any single figure golfer would be pleased with the look of these.

Especially as the relative head size is maintained through the set and does not get progressively smaller.

If they are too big for your eye, then there is also a fully forged PSi Tour iron coming with a slightly smaller head, narrower sole and a thinner top line.

Back to the standard PSi and the technology does not stop there as TaylorMade claim to have optimised each iron individually with whatever materials they can lay their hands on.

As part of this they have also fine tuned the lofts, resulting in all of the clubs except the 3-iron & SW having a loft ending in 0.5°.

TaylorMade did this optimisation thing in the RSi 2 set and I had my reservations about the flow of the set as a result, so I was interested to see how the PSi would feel as I went down through the set.

The 3 to 5 irons are reasonably sized for better players and feature a tungsten toe weight to improve the stability and this it does reasonably well. The sound and feel was not quite as hollow as before, but inevitably the larger cavity back in the 3 and 4-irons did have hollow undertones.

The sole slots and face slots continue to work together on the 6 and 7-iron and these irons were probably my favourites of the set as they were a good size, but the forgiveness made them excellent cast better player irons.

The sole widths were generous without being chunky and a small grind across the rear of the sole made it play narrower than it looks.

In the 8-iron the sole slot disappears and the head changes to a forged steel construction with face slots. This also feels a little better and it made me wonder why the whole set was not forged heads with slots.

On speaking to TaylorMade's Chief Technical Officer Benoit Vincent, I discovered it goes back to the 'optimum design for each iron' strategy. He said that longer irons need more ball speed so casting is better for that. Shorter irons need more feel so forging is better, but the trade off is a softer face and relatively less ball speed at impact.

To be fair TaylorMade has managed the performance gap well at this crossover point so that the distance gap between the 8 and 7-iron is the same as between the 7 and 6.

Finally in the 9-iron and wedges, the face slots go too and you are left with a fully forged head with a small cavity back that feels pretty good. With the dampening it sounds better than the previous forged wedges in the RSi 2, but it is not quite in the same league as a peripheral weighted forged blade.

Given all the changes in head style and manufacture, I was carefully looking at the flow of the set and I feel it is better than RSi 2. I accept that this is purely subjective, but the lack of a consistent head construction and material theme bothers me theoretically, especially switching from cast to forged heads during a set.

That said, the blend of cast and forged heads does work well and apart from the feel, it was hard to notice any difference in performance between the two styles.

The extra thought and materials that have gone into the PSi iron is reflected in the premium price and as ever, the proof is in the hitting. In terms of their own range, the PSi is probably the best forgiving better player iron that TaylorMade has done and it should be a strong challenger in this category.

TaylorMade PSi Irons - Product Details

Retail partners, user reviews.

I love these irons but have also had a problem with the name plates on the back of the clubs. I was pulling my 7 iron out of the bag one day and cut my finger..... now almost all of the clubs have exposed edges from where the name plates have come away from the head, leaving sharp edges. I took them into American Golf who contacted TaylorMade. I was subsequently fitted for a new set of P790's free of charge and swapped them for my PSI's. I was given the choice of M3, M4 or P790's but having read the reviews on the M3 and M4's i chose the P790's. Taylormade know that it is a problem with the clubs and if they are still in the warranty period they should exchange them for a newer model as they are not producing the PSi's anymore.

The PSi tours are my favourite TaylorMade iron since the 05 TP CB. They are easy to launch, feel pretty good, similar to the AP2, and give impressive distance for a players iron. The short irons are awesome. I also had a set of the regular PSi and they were ok, but these are great. Super thin and compact.

Ditto to what Tom said above about the name plates on the back of these irons separating from the iron and leaving sharp exposed edges. Horrible design flaw. I got cut by one. Attempted to press the sharp corners on the worst ones back in, but then my 14 year old grandson got poked by one when he was using them. I have finally just started removing them completely as they start to fail. I am going to send pictures to Taylormade to see if they will do anything.

The PSi irons perform well, but they have what I consider a design flaw. The "Taylormade" name plate on the back of the irons tends to separate from the back of the iron resulting in a very sharp and dangerous exposed edge. There is a bandage on my right index finger as I type this covering the gash I got putting my 5 iron back in the bag.

I am 65 years plying 12 handicap and I have been playing with Taylor made R Blades steel shaft. Have just purchased a set of Psi graphite. Brilliant buy.

Being a blade player all my life playing off 5 handicap when younger but now into my seventies and now playing off 15 I was a bit worried when buying the PSi Tour irons but i have found them fantastic as well as being forgiving they have given me better ball flight and greater length than with my older blades. 100% great buy for me even though some of my friends were telling me I would not be able to handle them I am so glad to be proving them wrong.

Love these irons. Went from Callaway X to these. Thought I'd struggle with them but if anything has definitely improved my game

This set is good! Forgiving club for me was what I was looking for and they recommend this! They are an amazing set!

Much more forgiving than advertised. I used to play Taylor MC and then went to Callaway XR PRO. Tested the PSI in the store and wasn't totally convinced. I borrowed a set, after two rounds I'm sold! Easier than the MC with nice feel and awesome sound! This has to be the best balanced set, the A wedge is great, the long irons are easy and so long. Nice high trajectory coupled with the strong lofts give some remarkably long irons. Look=4.5, Trajectory=5. Feel=4. Sound=5. Accuracy=5.

Here I’ll be fully reviewing the  TaylorMade PSi iron .

It’s one of TaylorMade’s latest better-player offerings and is designed to provide  “everything better players demand from an iron” – superior sound, feel, workability and ball speeds.

Is the PSi iron worth the buy? What are its strengths and weaknesses? How does it differ from the previous generation RSi 2?

Read on to find out what you need to know about it to make an informed purchase.

Note:  Unless otherwise stated, stock shafts and stock grips are used when evaluating this club. In most cases, the golf clubs reviewed on Golfstead are acquired temporarily for testing purposes and are not purchased. The review that follows is based on the personal experience and research of the author. Because everyone’s swing and body are different, results with a particular club may differ from person to person.

Quick Verdict

Rating: 4.7/5 (Excellent)

Classification:  Better-Player

• well-balanced feel makes for an enjoyable swing
• distance and ball speed forgiveness are exceptional
• very workable and playable out of a variety of lies
• look and impact sound are appealing to many   
• many feel it’s not enough of an improvement over the RSi 2 to justify the greater cost
• mishit feedback is soft and could be more useful

Best Suited For

The PSi irons are recommended for low-to-mid handicaps (single digits or teens) who could benefit from a higher ball flight, although some higher handicaps will surely appreciate them as well with their distance and forgiveness.

Best Places To Buy Online

Now that this model is a few years old, there are two places where you can get it at a really good discount.

The first is eBay , which is a fantastic source for new and used sets. The second is Global Golf , which offers many attractive deals and programs that make for a smooth buying process.

What are the reviews like?

The PSi irons have been received extremely well.

They have average user ratings of 4.9/5 on Global Golf, 4.9/5 (100% recommended) on TaylorMade’s official website, and 5/5 (100% recommended) on Golfsmith, in addition to generally positive verdicts from professional critics.

What People Like

• exceptional ball speed forgiveness (especially with respect to thin shots)
• well-balanced feel throughout the swing
• solid feel at impact
• competitive distance
• great accuracy

The PSi’s forgiveness is similar to that of the RSi 2 and perhaps even slightly better, making it an attractive option to higher handicaps.

What People Don’t Like

• a lot of people would like a better impact feel and more distinguishable mishit feedback
• many feel that the PSi iron is too similar to the previous model RSi 2 with not enough innovation

What are the features?

Like the RSi 2 , the PSi has a more traditional head shape that is ideal for low to mid handicappers.

Dynamic Feel System

The PSi iron has what TaylorMade calls a “Dynamic Feel System”, which consists of a multi-material badge and dampening HYBRAR compound that reduces vibrations across the face at impact.

This combines with carefully-placed tungsten weighting in the long irons (optimal ball flight and distance gaps), as well as short iron forging (designed for maximum control and optimal feel), to deliver much improved sound and feel throughout the set.

Re-Designed Head Geometries

The PSi iron has classic lines and carefully-considered shaping (discussed more later in the review).

Progressive Spec Package

The top line thickness, blade length and offset all decrease gradually from the long irons to the wedges.

This is designed to provide optimal performance throughout the set: more forgiveness with the long irons and more feel and control with the short irons.

TaylorMade labels the PSi as delivering “consistent distance without compromise” through:

• a new cut-thru sole slot (Speed Pocket) in the 3-7 irons. This allows the face to flex more at impact (particularly for thin shots), increasing ball speeds and ball speed consistency all across the face.
• a thin sub-2mm face that increases COR and hence further improves ball speeds.
• face slots in the 3-8 irons. The face slots are designed to preserve ball speeds on toe and heel strikes.
• a new 360° undercut that lowers the center of gravity (CG) and produces a ball flight more desirable by better players.
• “Inverted Cone Technology” which effectively expands the COR zone, increasing ball speeds over a larger area of the face around the sweet spot.

The stock shafts offered are the KBS C-Taper 105 steel shaft (R, S, X) and the MRC Kuro Kage 80-100 (R, S, X).

The stock grip offered is the TM Lamkin UTX REC .

Full specifications for the PSi iron can be found below:

How do these irons perform?

The PSi irons generally produce excellent distance results that can definitely compete with the best that’s out there.

TaylorMade’s thin, high-COR face appears to do a great job, but I wouldn’t call it a massive improvement over previous offerings. My own test yardages were very similar to that of the RSi 2 and perhaps a few yards longer.

Many PSi users have reported gaining half of a club to a full club more in the way of distance over their previous irons. Do keep in mind that exact distance results will depend on the individual.

Forgiveness

The PSi irons have exceptional ball speed forgiveness in particular.

The Speed Pocket combined with the face slots in the 3-8 irons make thin shots, heel shots and toe shots behave impressively similar to pure strikes in terms of ball flight.

Many people have found the PSi irons to be tremendously forgiving both distance-wise and direction-wise, but again, satisfaction will depend on the individual.

I personally found forgiveness to be slightly improved over the RSi 2 in all respects.

Playability/Trajectory

The low CG of the PSi tends to produce a mid-to-high straight ball flight with with both long and shorts irons. In the case of the short irons and wedges, this allows precise and soft landings into the greens.

The clubhead glides through the turf with ease and does well out of the rough. Golfers who historically struggle with low trajectories should see more desirable results with the PSi irons.

Workability is great, which is to be expected from a players iron. Capable golfers should have no problems engineering the shots they want.

What about look, sound & feel?

The PSi irons look very similar to the RSi 2 irons, with fairly thin top lines, identical offsets (progressive), slightly weaker lofts and similar sole widths — surprisingly compact given how forgiving it is.

Starting from the 8-iron going through the wedges, the Speed Pocket and cavity back disappears and is replaced by a forged head with slightly better feel.

The design and colour scheme is quite clean and minimalist, although personally I think the darker grays around the logos are a bit overused.

Single-digit handicappers should be very pleased with the look at address.

The Sound & Feel

There’s really not all that much that stands out when it comes to the feel of the PSi irons, although balance throughout the swing is very nice.

Impact feel is neither rock-hard nor pillow-soft; I’d say it’s more on the soft side with a bit of “pop”, accompanied with a cool middle-of-the-range sound.

The Dynamic Feel System indeed does do a good job of dampening the vibrations resulting from mishits. The downside of this is that feedback suffers; in other words, it’s a bit difficult to discern where the ball makes contact with the face, but that’s not to say it can’t be done.

Where should you buy these irons online?

Click the button and the links in this article to be taken to the best buying destinations.

The PSi is one of TaylorMade’s best players iron on the market in terms of distance, forgiveness, feel, workability and playability, but it’s not a marked improvement over the previous generation RSi 2.

However, it’s is an excellent choice for golfers with a large enough budget who want the latest and greatest in their bag.

TaylorMade PSi Irons Review

• TG Rating 5 out of 5

What we say...

TaylorMade say the PSi golf irons are crammed full of technology.  There’s an ultra thin (sub 2mm) face to maximise face flex along with a Cut Thru Speed Pocket sole and Face Slots to maximise ball speeds particularly when shots are hit low on the face. There’s a clean and confident look at address to inspire confidence and a multi-material dampening system in the cavity badge to tune feel.

Our verdict:

TaylorMade are well known for making bold distance claims for their new launches which haven’t always stood up to player testing, but the PSi certainly delivered for us. We weren’t going to talk about distance as with iron sets having different lofts its not really fair to compare, but lets make it clear the PSi recorded the joint longest average carry distance and it didn’t have the strongest loft. It goes without saying the head shapes very solid without masses of offset and we particularly liked how we hit shots 1.5cm off centre and still only lost 6 yards of carry distance.

Bottom line:

The PSi probably isn’t an out and out game improvement iron but more a blend between a better player iron and a game improvement model. Its worth remembering the 3-7 iron are cast where the 8-SW are forged which mean you get extra playability in the longer irons and more control and feel where you need it most. For us they performed superbly.

2024 Taylormade P770 Irons – Official MGS Forum Review by Indy_Oz Introduction: Greetings fellow Spies! My name is Mark, or Oz, (Oz is my high school nickname still used by a few select friends… long and dull story) and I am a British ex-pat professional engineer residing in Indiana, USA. Below is a VERY rare selfie, taken at Marco Simone country club in Rome, Italy from earlier this year.

I started golfing when I was 14 years old, but had a golf hiatus from ~2002-2022. After dusting off the old clubs for a couple of charity scrambles two years ago, the golf bug well and truly bit. Pre-‘02 I was playing to an approx 5 handicap. Currently I’m 7.9 per GHIN (2.1 per Arccos). I play a variety of public courses around central Indiana (summer league at my local 9-hole muni). I typically play 1-2x per week. I am a member of an indoor golf training center (sims + indoor ‘range’).

Golf style, strengths and weaknesses: I’ve just exited my 40s with a driver CHS ~110mph (~93mph 7-iron) and I’m working to maintain that for as long as possible. I grew up playing field hockey and cricket - both of which involve swinging sticks/ bats hard to hit balls, so my golf swing always had good speed. Despite a litany of sports injuries over the years and being prone to injury, I’m fairly happy with where my swing is and my both range of motion and rotation. Could be better, could be worse. 7-iron sim shot:

Arccos tells me that my irons are a strength for me. However, the big issue with my P790s is the occasional ‘hot’ shot flying well beyond expected, leading to doubt and playing conservatively.

Iron History:

• First irons: When I started (late 80s) I gamed hand-me-down Wilson blades and persimmon woods. I replaced these with some cavity back Prosimmon irons in 1992 and gamed these until...
• Current irons: Taylormade 2017 P790 5-PW (I’ve been mistakenly thinking they were 2019. Doh!). A few months after returning to golf in 2022, I played a round with a neighbor after which he handed me these P790s that had been gathering dust. I ended up buying them and fitting pulled light (115g) x-stiff shafts that have worked well so far.

Testing Plan

• Fitting: I’ll report back on the fitting process, how I found the P770s and what spec I end up ordering. This experience will also cover the first part of ‘first impressions’.
• Sim: When the P770s arrive, I’ll head to the sim to figure out baseline numbers and analyze the session data to compare against the benchmark numbers for the P790s. I will do simple sim range sessions, play virtual rounds and run through the FlightScope Skills tests.
• Range: Along with consistency of ‘target golf’ on the range, I’ll report back on turf interaction, shot height (compared to the P790s), shot shaping, feel and sound off the face, center and off-center hits. I will also use the lower end of the irons for chipping around the practice greens and compare chipping feel against the P790s I use routinely (mostly PW and 9i).
• Course: Obviously I’ll be taking these out on the course. I will play ‘regular’ rounds and also some iron-only (aside from putting) - or driver-on-par-5s-plus-irons-only (lol) - rounds to maximize the range of clubs used.

‘Play It or Trade It’ Decision:

To win a place in my bag, there are a few criteria to meet.

• The P770 seems to fit the bill on that front. I already know these are classy looking irons. The slim top line looks great at address and the overall simple, unfussy design and satin finish are very appealing to me.

(Below photo taken during fitting showing P7CB and P770 back sides to demonstrate similar blade size overall)

(Below image and animation/video ‘borrowed’ from Taylormade website)

• I am an Arccos user, so I will share those data- compared to the P790- in addition to sim data.
• It’s important to eliminate the ‘hot shots’ that the old P790 suffers. If you believe the press releases, the P770 doesn’t suffer this. Fingers crossed.  (Video below showing internal design - FLTD CG  and tungsten weight in the toe end - taken from Taylormade website)
• Shot shaping: I like to have a consistent stock shot shape, but I will work a fade or draw if there’s a cross wind. I’m hoping the P770 allows me to hit predictable shot shapes.
• The P770s are apparently designed to launch well, with their FLTD CG and tungsten weight placement (in the longer irons). Shorter irons with higher CG should launch and spin well without the tungsten weights.

2024 TAYLORMADE P-770 IRONS - OFFICIAL MGS REVIEW BY LEAKYVALVE

Hello friends and welcome. My name is Mike (LeakyValve) and this will be my official review of the new Taylormade new P-770 irons. 

To say I'm thankful and honoured is an understatement. Having the chance to test and review StarGrips through MGS earlier was a delight, and yes they are still in play, just on new irons. Thank you MGS and the staff for this amazing chance to bring to you all my thoughts and honest opinions on these lovely looking irons. 

A little about me and my game. I'm a leftie from Alberta, Canada. Our season is sadly very close to ending, but I have 2 major rounds left to play this year and hopefully I get the clubs before it gets too cold or snowy. I currently play off a 6.3 HCDP through the Grint. Average scoring of around 83.4 with an 80% attest rate. I can fire in the mid to high 70’s and instantly throw down a 95. My big misses are a pull hook and a block push. Mostly caused by turning the hands over and casting for the hook, then leaving my hands out behind my swing for the push. Most times I hit a slight draw and cover the ball a lot so they go quite far. Ball striking is “okay,” I can hit close to the centre of the face most times. I'm curious if the new tech in the P’s can help with miss hits and if the forgiveness keeps distances the same on off centre strikes. 

My current gamers are Acer XVs. Acer is from the Hireko brand. They're a club builders head. And by no means a top shelf, lots of money spent on, iron. After struggling with my ‘15 apex pros I wanted to make the switch to something with a lot more help (compared to a forged blade). Yes the Acer's are cast CB’s. But the rounds played have been good. More forgiving in terms of distance on miss hits. A bit higher launching. And still stopping on greens.

GOALS FOR THE TEST!!

• Determine if the P-770s do in fact fit between a players blade (Apex) and the game improvement irons (Acer)
• Try to hit shots with the P770 all over the face to see if the forgiveness is there. (Distance loss, ball flight issues)
• See if I notice the FLTD GC in play. (Higher easier launching long irons. Flighted, better spinning low irons)
• Determine who these clubs are for, and if they’re worth your money.
• Try to find a better looking iron on the market… (Maybe we will. Or won't.)

What do these irons need to do to earn a permanent spot in my bag? Well, perform in all conditions and circumstances for one. For me distance loss on miss hits is a big problem, so if they can allow me the freedom to not worry about slightly off centre strikes being way off line and short then they will 100% be my new gamers. 

Link to the fitting!!

TL;DR! The fitting was an awesome experience. Really cool to see the difference between shafts in terms of spin and height. Highly recommend anyone looking for any new clubs to go get fit by a master fitter from the respective brand. 

FINAL SPECS TO BE USED FOR ORDERING!!

A huge Thank You to TM and MGS for selecting me as a reviewer and I look forward to putting in the work to create a complete and fair review.  My name is Bob, I have been a member of MGS since 2020.  I forget what brought me to the forum, I think it was research into drivers as that was about the time I was looking to upgrade.  Besides the awesome equipment reviews I found the membership to be respectful, friendly and to have the same curiosity about golf gear that I do.

I grew up in south east PA and currently live in the north east corner of MD where it can be convenient to get to courses in MD, DE & PA.  I have been playing golf since the early 1970’s and am in my early 60’s.  Currently I have Mizuno JPX 900 Forged irons, 5-PW, with Project X LZ 6.0 shafts.  The irons (complete with some lead tape!) are living in a very nice MyGolfSpy edition Jones bag.

I realized a couple weeks ago this summer marks the 50th year I have been playing regular length clubs and regulation courses.  I recently posted some pics of my 50 year journey through sets of irons here…  

I wondered what my next 50 years of equipment might be, not realizing the next iron set was only days away!  I am stoked to be trying the P-7CB’s.  TaylorMade is known for quality clubs through the bag and these look fantastic.   While I have always liked the look if their irons, my impression of TM was they are a little stronger in the game improvement iron models than the players models.  I have liked the clean, simple lines of their designs.  I am not a fan of the plastic you see on a lot of irons these days.  

We play in a 9 hole league during the week and usually get out to play on a weekend evening getting in as many holes as we can.  If work schedules allowed we made time to get out for another round.  I am very fortunate she is an avid golfer and there won’t be any issue making time for at least another weekly 18 during the review period.  I know, it’s a sacrifice, but I’ll do it for the Spies! 

If I can’t get to the course there is always a mat and hitting net in the pole barn with a Mevo.  I’ve had a putting green in the backyard for 15 years and can hit wedge shots up to 65 yards.  So three or four times per week I am hitting 50 or so wedge shots and/or putting for a while.  

These sessions have helped dial in wedge yardages & dispersion along with keeping a good swing tempo through the bag.   Sorry TM, this is the swing the P-7CB's will have to work with!  

I feel I am on the bottom of the curve in average distance for my handicap.  My driver carry of about 245 and 7i carry of about 150 is usually less than other single digit players I face.  However, I feel I am above average with accuracy from my irons and anything that wants to kick the Mizzy’s out of the bag better be pin hunters.  I also play 3/4 shots frequently and my irons need to be workable to control ball flight into the window I want. 

I am not chasing distance but don’t want to lose yards either.  If the P-7CB’s match the yardage of the JPX’s that is fine with me.  I am looking forward to the fitting process for the shaft material selection.  I have an itch to compare performance between graphite and the steel shafts that I am used to.  Will the lighter weight of graphite add some mph’s to my swing resulting in effortless distance gains?  Will the lighter overall weight from graphite cause issues with my swing timing and hurt dispersion?  Let’s find out!!  Either way, graphite or steel, I want the tightest dispersion with at least the distance I am currently experiencing.

The review will involve a good bit of course testing not only in regular play but with dropping balls at in between distances in varied lies.  Fairway, light rough, heavy rough, fairway bunkers will all be checked to see how the sole interacts with those surfaces.  Our course is not busy this time of year so that will be easy to do.  The regular play will test my confidence level in using the clubs with the pressure of real scoring while dropping balls will allow testing in some challenging spots regular play may not find on that particular day. 

An irons only round will be in the mix to help maximize the variety of shots.  I also plan to include a couple other golfers in the on course testing as I am playing with them.  A couple golfing friends are single digit ‘cappers that know their swing and ball flights pretty well and can contribute some look and feel impressions about the irons.  The more the merrier as they say! 

For the analytics department, I will make use of a simulator to get all the provided data points for comparison between the P-7CB’s and the JPX 900’s.  But I am not a slave to the simulator numbers.   I can see from the performance on the course if the ball flight is what I want and if the bite when it hits the green is what I need.  In my opinion real world confidence in a club to make the single shot when needed is a more complete gauge than repetitive simulator shots that allow for adjustments to dial in a shot to hit a number.

For me to be ready to switch equipment it comes down to getting the ball flight I need for a particular shot and hitting greens in reasonable proximity to the hole.  It will be fun to see if the P-7CB’s can meet the challenge.  Let’s get going!!!

Next update will be the fitting process.  Where will it lead??!!

2024 TaylorMade P7CB Irons – Official MGS Forum Review by Byrnzee

Introduction:

Hello all! For those of you who I haven't already met through either the Good Morning thread, Community Calls, or otherwise, let me properly introduce myself. My name is Connor Byrne aka "Byrnzee" and I've been on the Forum for a little over a year now. I was initially introduced to this wonderful community through my brother-in-law @Swood1994 . He said it was a great place to meet like-minded golf nuts to share ideas, rant, and get more information about new equipment (and boy, was he right!)

I've been golfing since I was a kid; my dad is a big golfer and always brought me along and taught me how to behave and how to have fun on a golf course. I fell in love with the game at an early age and used to love watching golf with my dad every time a big tournament was on TV. I would say that I've mostly been taught by my dad, with some help from junior golf camps. That being said, my swing used to be very homegrown (similar to my dad's).

However, at the beginning of last year, I started taking lessons after realizing that my swing was incredibly inconsistent. I've been on this swing change journey for quite some time now and am still working on it today. I've had a few lessons, have gotten lost in the YouTube rabbit-hole, and am now working with a Skillest instructor on a regular basis. I've gotten my handicap down from about a 13-14 to a 7.8 in the last 18 months.

My game has been fairly consistent this year, with an average score of 84.1 and lowest being an 80 at Arcadia Bluffs earlier this summer. My biggest weakness is probably consistency off the tee, but that has gotten better as well. My biggest strength is probably around the greens, as I pride myself on being a great feel player and am usually able to save a few strokes with my chipping. My ball-striking could definitely use some work and I'm hoping that the P7CBs can help me in that aspect. 

The TaylorMade website states that these irons have a "tour quality feel" and that "they’re engineered for players who demand the purest feel, shot-making capability and consistency." I'm usually just trying to hit the ball straight on the course, but I have a draw-biased swing. I'm interested to see how much easier the "shot-making" becomes with these irons and how I can use this new technology to my advantage. 

My current irons are 5-year old Mizuno MP-54s that I bought off eBay in 2019. They were brand new and still in plastic at the time, but were stock specs and my first "new" irons I ever owned. They have served me well over the years, but I'm ready for a change and am hopeful that the P7CBs will be the right fit for me and my game.

I have never been fit for clubs before, so I'm both excited and nervous for that process and hope to share lots of details about it in this thread. The look of the P7CBs is not dissimilar to my current irons, which is one of the many reasons I was drawn to them:

Testing Plan:

• Fitting - my fitting happened on Sunday, September 8th, at Mistwood Golf Club (about an hour west of Chicago). I had never had a fitting for any clubs before, so it was a very interesting process for me that I have documented here  in detail. I was surprised to see what shafts I got fit into; I went into this fitting with a completely open mind and was very pleased with my experience.
• Baseline  - not to completely copy @Indy_Oz  above, but my plan was always to get baseline data for these new clubs on a simulator. I have access to a PGA Superstore with Trackman simulators and I plan on doing a side-by-side comparison between the new P7CBs and my old Mizunos.
• On-Range  - I would say I spend most of my time hitting balls on a driving range. I wish I could get out to the course more, but unfortunately living in Chicago, tee times are scarce and most courses that are worth playing are an hour or more outside the city. I live about 10 minutes from a turf range where I plan to get most of my practice in with these new clubs. Here I will also be testing feel, workability, consistency and overall performance.
• On-Course  - Lastly, I will be putting these clubs into play on course immediately upon arrival. Our golf season in Chicago doesn't last long, so I will be trying to get in as many rounds as I can to determine how these new irons perform on-course. My focus will be on consistency, forgiveness, workability, and overall feel during a round of golf.

Play it or Trade it:

I am very hopeful that the P7CBs will earn a permanent spot in my bag. However, there will be several factors that determine whether or not that is the case:

• Consistency  - this is the biggest factor for me when it comes to choosing something to stay in my bag. I will be determining whether or not I can rely on these irons to provide consistent shots and results both on the range and the course.
• Feel  - as mentioned above, I pride myself as a feel player. If I don't feel comfortable with a club, I can't play my best golf. Therefore, I need to make sure that the feel when hitting these irons (and maybe more importantly, when  misshitting  them) is tolerable.
• Forgiveness  - I would say this is the area I'm the most concerned about when it comes to this line of irons. These irons are now in the bag of tour players: including Nelly Korda, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Collin Morikawa. I wouldn't say that I am a tour-caliber player, so am I worthy of having these irons in my bag and producing positive results? Time will tell. Similarly, I think hitting the longer irons in this set will be a challenge. I think in a perfect world I would maybe have a combo set with the P770s for 4, 5 and maybe 6 iron. This will be an area I will focus on during my testing to determine if these are indeed the right fit for me and my game.
• Workability  - TaylorMade has been very vocal with these irons about how the forged design and optimized perimeter weighting "give you stability and workability throughout the bag." As mentioned above, I'm not usually someone who works the ball (on purpose). I try to hit a straight shot and tend to have a draw bias. However, I know the mechanics of how to hit certain shot shapes and I will definitely be testing to see if TaylorMade's claim is true: are these irons easier to shape? If so, does that result in less forgiveness?

That's all for now, folks! Will be continuing to provide updates as this process unfolds, starting with the aforementioned fitting on Sunday. Will be taking lots of pictures, videos and sharing my entire experience with these beautiful irons. If there are any specific things you would like to see tested or focused on for the P7CBs, please don't hesitate to ask!

Current WITB:

TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4, Full face wedges testing

My name is Rick (Flanpro) and I'm from the Great White North.  I live in Muskoka to be exact, which is a beautiful part of our country approximately 2 hours north of Toronto.  Formally called cottage country by the tourists but it is home to my wife and I along with our 3 retired Greyhounds.  

My golf background started when I was in my late 20's when I decided to look into the golf business as a fun way to make a living.  I was able to get my CPGA card within a year and I was on my new journey.  My focus was more on the business side even though I could manage to play well enough.  Through the next 16years I was involved a General Manager / Head Pro at several facilities in Southern Ontario but my most enjoyable experience came in 2009 when I was asked to be Project Manager for a new course build called Sally Creek.  If there was one thing I could do for the rest of my life it would be designing and building golf courses! Not long after finishing that project it was becoming more and more difficult to get approvals for golf courses and I decided to take a different direction.  I even applied and received re-instatement of my amateur status. Right now at 65 I'm a 10.3 Handicap Index and looking to improve

GOALS FOR TESTING:

 As you can see I'm a "Wedge Junkie".  I have many friends who are "Driver Junkies" "Golf Shoe Junkies" and "Iron Junkies" and many of the Spies will fall into these categories but I am a certified Wedge Guy.  This picture is a sample of the collection that I have available to me, along with at least 10 more in my shed.  Taylormade, Titleist, Cleveland, Cobra, Smithworks, Wilson and many more brands hold a place.

The best part of my game is from 50 yards to the green and my wedges are a big part of my bag - and the reason I am really excited about testing these new wedges.  I'm currently gaming Taylormade TG3 Raw face wedges (54 and 58 degrees), along with a Cleveland Special 588 49 degree and a Ping G430 45 degree.

My goals are very simple when I look at this testing and analysis - will these new wedges be an improvement on my existing gamers and will they be the next step for me to improve in the scoring areas of the golf course?

Naturally I will be gathering as much data as possible through launch monitors, my Shot Scope application and the range but I still believe the true test is on the course in every possible tight lie, uphill or downhill slope, bunker, rough, and greenside location that I can find!  Do they spin?  Do they spin enough or too much? Is the ball flight high, low or in between?

My plan is to make as many videos and screen shots as possible to give everyone a clear idea of the performance of these new wedges along with my direct comparison to the Taylormade TG3 that I'm using now. I'm expecting them to be great.

FINAL THOUGHT.......

I've discovered over all of he rounds of golf I've played (usually 60-70 per year) that there are two clubs in every golfer's bag that are a personal choice - The Putter and wedges.  It's important to have the confidence that these clubs will perform to increase your enjoyment and lower your scores!

I'm looking forward to providing regular updates and information as we go through the process!

Lets go tee em' up!

2024 Taylormade Hi-Toe 4 Wedges – Official MGS Forum Review by  jaz29

Hello Spies!! My name is Jeff (jaz29) and I live in Commerce Township, MI, which is in the metro Detroit area. I have been an avid golfer since middle school and am currently a manager at Ford Motor Company.

This summer we took a golf trip to Scotland!! This is a picture me on the Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course and one with my caddie Ollie on the Castle Course, both at St. Andrews.

I started playing golf in 8th grade with a beginner set of clubs. My dad got me started and I loved playing with him and my brother so much that I saved my money and joined for a summer at my local muni. My brother and I would ride our bikes to the course with the clubs thrown over our shoulder. I played on the high school golf team, but was never one of the better players, but did play Varsity my senior year. Played very little in college and then picked it back up after I got into the work force. I was lucky enough to work for a company that were members at Firestone CC in Akron, OH. So it was fun getting back into it at a place that Tiger loves so much!

During this time, I severly broke my left wrist in a freak softball collision that almost cost me my hand. This led to 3 surgeries and took me away from the game for a few years. The injury took me from 8-9 handicap to a 15. I followed a woman to Michigan, where marriage, my son and all the coaching, volunteering and other stuff that family gets you involved with took me away from playing like I wanted.  I am now at a point where I commited to playing agein. I now play in a golf league weekly at Mystic Creek Golf Course.

I also play with my wife, son and other friends at a variety courses in the area. I attend a couple of small 3 day trips with friends and I try to play a PGA played course each year. I am a member of the Golf Association of Michigan (GAM) and do like to play in some NET amateur events when I can. I suggest anyone in my area to join.  https://gam.org/

Whats in My Bag? Epic Flash (Driver), Taylormade RBZ (3w, 3HL rescue), Callaway X-Hot Pro (4-w), Titleist SM4 wedges (48,52,56) and a Scotty Cameron Fastback Select (putter) Plus MYGOLFSPY bag tag!!

I am excited to review the new Hi Toe 4 Wedges as this has been my main area of improvement. Getting better in this area, would get me back to single digits.

What have I played with?

• Starter Set (1w,3w, 3,5,7,9 irons and a putter)
• 1st set that I purchased - H&B Powerbuilt with persimmon woods
• Taylormade with the bubble shafts, Titleist Woods
• Tommy Armour 845's (1 iron - 4th wedge)...still love these and mys on is playing them

What is my test plan?

• Honesty!! I am not a pro reviewer, so I will tell it how it is. Not every product is for you or me. To be honest, I thought the Hi Toe wedges looked forgiving, so I will give it a shot!
• I'll baseline my current wedge game and data for you as I gapped these wedges a little differently from my current ones, hoping to see some improvement in my game.
• I am a range rat, so I will provide data off Trackman from my local golf shop, Carl's Golfland  https://www.carlsgolfland.com/trackmanrange

Play them or not?

• I am getting too old to care what they look like or feel like.......If they improve my game, they stay in the bag!! 

Thank you to the MGS Forum for picking me for this test. I am pumped to check out the new wedge from Taylormade!

Next up...................... the unboxing of the new sticks.

Let me know if there are any questions or unique things that you want me to point out. I am looking forward from hearing from the other spies out there.

” The  woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep. ” - Frost

"That you are here—that life exists and identity,

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." - Whitman

Congratulations testers!

I have a cobra rad speed driver, cobra fly z 3 and 5 wood, taylormade m1 irons (5-PW), Top Flite Gamer wedges (52,56,60), and odyssey white ice putter. When I’m playing to keep score I typically play the Maxfli Tour X. When just getting a round in with friends or scrambling I play whatever I might find on the course or might find at the bottom of my bag.

Can’t wait to see the reviews on the CBs - congrats group!

We’re looking for six golfers—two for each product—to test, review, and keep these clubs. This is your chance to see if TaylorMade’s claims hold up when these clubs are put to the test by real golfers like you! What you’ll be testing TaylorMade P·770 Irons: These irons are crafted for golfers who desire a blend of distance and forgiveness within a compact design. The hollow body construction with SpeedFoam Air aims to combine power with precision, while also providing a soft feel on impact. They’re said to be perfect for those who want to shape their shots without compromising on distance. TaylorMade P·7CB Irons: Aimed at golfers who value precision, these cavity-back irons blend a traditional look with modern engineering. They are built to deliver high levels of control and feedback, allowing for a variety of shot shapes. This should make them a top choice for those who prioritize accuracy and feel. TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 Wedge: This wedge is designed for versatility in short-game scenarios. Featuring full-face grooves and a high-toe design, it’s engineered to enhance spin and control, especially when executing open-faced shots. It’s intended to perform well in a range of conditions and lies, making it a go-to option for short-game enthusiasts. Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

Congratulations to everyone selected!
