Titleist T100 vs Taylormade P770 Irons Review & Specs 2023

It can be hard to make the leap from low handicapper to club pro status. You have already refined your game so much; what could be left? For most players aspiring for greatness, the answer lies with their irons.

There are no shortage of game-improvement irons on the market; but when you are trying to get from a low handicap to an even lower one, the lines get blurry about the sticks and tools you should be using.

In the following comparison review, we will be pitting two player’s performance irons against each other to see which one is the best.

Overview Of Both Iron Sets

The Taylormade P770 irons came out shortly after the P790. By that time, the P790’s already earned a reputation for being long, forged irons.

The P770’s came along with a shrunken head but somehow, didn’t lose anything in terms of distance. They are still some of the longest forged irons in the game.

The Titleist T100 irons continue the shift from forgiveness to tour-grade performance that the T series has been making over the years.

The T100’s are the smallest and thinnest irons in the T series. They have the least offset and were designed for tour-grade performance.

Titleist T100 Key Features

The T100 irons have more camber than their predecessors which, helps them glide through the turf with ease.

They are also co-forged with the tungsten weights that grace the heel and toe of the longer irons. This gives them an incredibly solid and consistent feel.

Taylormade P770 Key Features

The P770’s were built for ball speed. They have Taylormade’s Speed pocket which, helps the face hinge.

They are also hollow-body irons infused with urethane which, helps preserve ball speed.

While they are not as compact as the Titleist T100’s they still sport a thin topline that is pleasing to the eye.

What’s Better About Each Set?

The great thing about the Tayloramde P770’s is their modern muscle-back design. These irons look and feel great.

They are perfectly balanced with a max of 46 grams of internal tungsten weighting so their a joy to swing.

They’re great for anyone looking for distance and a comfortable swing.

The Titleist T100’s on the other hand, have a thinner top line, a more compact head and less offset.

In other words, they were made for low handicappers looking to hit the pin with no hassle and ultimate ball control. They are more for the serious golfers out there.

Who Is Each Set For?

It’s very clear that if you are a mid to low handicapper, you will feel more at ease with the Taylormade P770 irons.

They are more forgiving and have the nicer feel. If you trying to break 5 or below though, you will get more out of the performance and workability of the T100’s

Taylormade P770’s Vs. The P790’s

The P790’s are even more forgiving than the P770’s. They sport larger head profiles and more offset.

The P770’s do produce a bit more spin though, so in general you can expect the P790’s to play a bit longer.

Titleist T100’s Vs. T200’s

The T200’s are similar to the T100’s in the sense that they are geared toward lower handicap players.

There are 2 big differences though: the T100’s are fully-forged while the T200’s have a cast body and the T100’s have an improved, worn sole to improve turf interaction.

Composition Comparison

The biggest difference between the construction of the Titleist T100 irons and the Taylormade P770’s is that the T100’s have a solid, co-forged design while that P770’s have a hollow-body design.

The body of the P770’s are also made of a softer carbon steel.

Performance Comparison

We’ll be honest: most of the testers in our party couldn’t get much use out of the Titleist T100’s.

On the other hand, the better testers were able to dominate on the fairway and approaches.

They loved the spin control and the precise weighting of the Titleist T100’s.

The P770’s felt better for the rest of us. They flew further with slower swing speeds and the carbon steel gave them a softer, more congenial feel.

Price Comparison

• Taylormade P770 Irons Complete Set – $1,400
• Titleist T100 Irons Complete Set – $1,230

Final Assessment

It’s clear that the Titleist T100’s were not made for your everyday golfer. That’s not to say that they aren’t high-quality or give us all something to aspire to. They were by far the more accurate and workable irons between the two.

The P770’s were more forgiving and designed for distance. Overall, the Titleist T100’s are clearly the superior irons – if you can make good use of them.

However, if you want a funner, more casual experience to match your game, go with the Taylormade P770’s.
