Taylormade P770 vs P7MC Irons Review & Specs 2023

Taylormade makes some of the best-feeling forged irons in the world and the P770’s are the proof.

The materials used to make the P770’s offer a buttery feel to even off-center shots. It’s hard to see any room for improvement in terms of forged feel from the P770’s.

However, the Taylormade P7MC irons look to do just that: take forged feel to the next level. If you are in the market for a set of forged Taylormade irons, allow us to offer our services.

Today we will be taking a look at the Taylormade P770 and P7MC irons side by side.

Overview Of Both Iron Sets

Taylormade P770’s

The Taylormade P770’s were meant to be a more player-oriented version of the P790’s.

They were built for players looking for more performance from a distance iron – and they delivered.

The more compact head of the P770’s are more pleasing at point of address and they still pack a punch.

Taylormade P7MC’s

The Taylormade P7MC irons are the direct heir of the lesser-known P750 irons.

The biggest difference is the “MC” which, stands for Muscle Cavity.

The back has been completely redesigned as a hybrid muscle/cavity to improve stability and enhance the already solid, forged feel.

Taylormade P770 Key Features

As alluded to earlier, the P770’s feature a thinner top line and shorter blade than their predecessors, the P790’s.

They also feature a tandem of Taylormade’s Speed Pocket and Speed Foam to, you guessed it, promote ball speed and feel.

Taylormade P7MC Key Features

The Taylormade P7MC irons feature a unique muscle/cavity back which, tour pros have called more solid than previous models.

Taylormade has also enhanced attack and spin control with a machined face and deep aggressive grooves.

The tungsten weighting is stripped to leave a more central sweet spot which promotes consistent strikes from the players looking to maximize their iron game.

What’s Better About Each Set

Get near the pin with these irons and you will be able to feel what makes the P7MC’s better. The machined faces offer the grip and feedback you need when attacking the pin.

Compact Grain Forging process they use to make the Taylormade P7MC also give these irons great drop and stop capability.

The P770’s are no slouches on the fairway. They certainly have their place as superior distance irons and would fit great in the hands of a wide swath of mid to low handicappers who are possibly looking to become professional players.

The P770’s are possibly good for a better player looking to venture into the world of players irons.

Who Is Each Set For?

It was very clear after testing that the Taylormade P7MC irons are more suited to low handicap, nearly tour-grade players.

They offer good distance but only if you have the swing speed for it. They are almost infinitely workable around the green too.

The Taylormade P770’s are more forgiving and you don’t need a crazy swing speed to unlock their distance potential either. They also have a softer feel with their carbon steel construction.

The P790 Vs The P770

If the P770’s are more forgiving than the Taylormade P7MC’s, then the P790’s will make the P7MC’s look like a bad dream.

The P790’s have a longer blade and larger profile. Add that with more offset and you get a longer and more forgiving iron than the P770’s.

The P7MC Vs. the P7MB

The P7MB’s feature the same Compact Grain Forging which, affords them the solid feel and workability as the Taylormade P7MC’s. The P7MB’s sport a pure muscle back design instead of a hybrid design, though.

The P7MB’s have lower launch, are a bit less forgiving and play shorter than the Taylormade P7MC’s as well.

Composition Comparison

The body of the Taylormade P7MC is made from 1025 carbon steel and the face features machined grooves.

The face of the P770’s is made from thin 4140 stainless steel and the body is forged carbon steel.

The P770’s also feature a hollow-body design while the P7MC’s are solid-body.

Performance Comparison

While both of these irons are part of Taylormade’s P series, the performance difference between them is like night and day.

The main differences are in workability and forgiveness: the P7MC’s are much more workable and the P770’s are much more forgiving but irons are aimed at the better players in golf.

The P770’s are excellent for Mid to Low Handicappers while the P7MC’s are reserved for Low Handicappers and Professional golfers.

Price Comparison

• Taylormade P7MC Irons Complete Set – $1,400

Final Assessment

There is a lot to love about the Taylormade P7MC if you are a sub 5 handicap player or thereabouts.

The machined grooves give you the accuracy you need to conquer fast greens and you can still get good distance from them if you have a swift swing speed.

The P770’s are certainly more forgiving and congenial to mid to low handicappers. However, it’s clear that the Taylormade P7MC’s are the superior irons when all aspects of performance are taken into account.

They are our recommendation if you need a quality iron set so check them out!
