Taylormade P790 Vs Callaway Rogue ST Pro Irons Comparison And Review 2023

The technology in golfing irons continues to advance at a rapid pace and it has brought with it, an entirely new category of irons in recent years called the players distance iron.

The players distance iron offers a compact head and players profile while still offering long distance, forgiveness, control, workability and feel.

Where before irons would focus on a certain element of the game, nowadays they are offering more and more with the Rogue St Pro and P790 irons right at the top of this category in 2023.

Callaway Rogue St Pro Irons Overview

When you see how much technology Callaway have fit into such a compact head you will be amazed and even more so when you see the performance.

The club has a compact players profile similar to the Taylormade P770’s which are the more player friendly version of the P790’s.

While looking clean at address, these irons are also long and relatively easy to hit.

New 450, high strength steel is used in the face which is an A.I Optimized flash cup face for higher ball speeds but the shape of each iron has also been optimized by A.I for a high launch, consistent spin and a descent angle that lends itself to good stopping power on the greens.

Tungsten weighting (188% more than the Mavriks) stabilizes the club and leads to a bigger sweet spot with better shots on toe misses and misses low on the face.

The Urethane that soothes the sound and feel of the clubs is now up to the 6th groove and it provides an awesome feel with a powerful sound and the clubs are also workable with a draw or a fade for better players.

Very impressive players distance iron from Callaway and certainly worth a try for consistent strikers.

Taylormade P790 Irons Overview

Introducing the most popular forged irons that Taylormade have ever released. They’ve gotten a couple of face lifts at this stage and their performance is legendary in the game.

Speed Foam air is the ‘Heartbeat’ of these irons and it is now 70% lighter than the 2019 model. The thin wall construction is also 39% lighter and this weight saving can be used in other spots on the club.

The Speed foam air is urethane and it gives the clubs their soft feel and sound while adding to the flex and forgiveness of the face.

The Tungsten weighting is in the toe and heel which stretches the sweet spot and the Thru slot speed pocket adds flex, distance and launch for shots low on the face.

The Inverted cone technology adds forgiveness too with what Taylormade dub the intelligent sweet spot, 60% bigger than 2019’s offering.

The body is cast and the face is a forged L Face insert which gives ultimate flex, feel and distance.

Expect these irons to be pleasing at address, surprisingly long, forgiving and with workability and stopping power on the greens in droves.

An excellent choice for mid to low-handicappers who strike the ball well.

Overview Conclusion

Direct competitors in the players distance category, the Rogue St Pros maybe more competition for the smaller P770’s and the P790’s are slightly bigger and easier tom play for the mid handicappers.

The P790’s are cheaper than the Rogues at the moment too and with the forged face and excellent performance, it would be hard not to recommend the P790’s for most players that are mid handicap and lower.
