The fifth-generation TaylorMade P790 2025 irons have arrived, and GolfStar Pro Tom Palmer has been testing them at The Belfry to see if they live up to the hype.
After two days of play, Tom found impressive distance, a more refined feel, and subtle design tweaks that make these a top choice for both low & mid-handicappers alike.
"Right out of the box, they felt dialled in powerful but controlled," Tom said. "They've definitely taken a step forward with this 2025 model."
After just two days of testing, Tom noted improved distance, a more refined feel, and tighter dispersion—all promising signs for low to mid-handicap players looking to upgrade.
