I have always liked the looks of an iron with chamfered or soft rounded edges. I’ll bet these clubs will glide on turf (not necessarily thru) like butter, this yielding long but very thin divots. Distance and accuracy always a TM trade mark. I may just try these. Thanks for the article, Matt.

David,

I don’t know that the P770 is objectively an improvement on the 0317T, but clearly they will be better for some players. In terms of the objective numbers – ball speed and smash factor – they were peers, and I didn’t see a substantial difference in launch and spin.

In my comment above, in referring to “…all the others” I am talking specifically about the PXG 0317T, Mizuno Pro 245, and Mizuno JPX Forged.

Thanks

PS I enjoyed your review!

Hi Matt,

I’d like to piggy back Doug’s question. I think the comparison to the PXG 0317T is profound. In the testing by “Cool Clubs” it seems that the P770 has “greater stopping power” than all of the others. It seems like it took on the PXG 0317T, my current gamers, and added some spin and loft.
When you look at what TaylorMade is doing it seems that it is an improvement over the PXG 0317T in that it is a tad more forgiving and spins more.
So, I would ask this…which irons gave you the better numbers? and, I understand that it is about more than numbers…

Thanks much

Doug,

I think they’re comparable in terms of ball speed consistency. As always, my advice for anyone considering buying either set is to get a fitting.

I really like the looks of those. Inevitably begs the question of how they compare to the PXG 0317T irons that you’re gaming. I’d like to hear what you think each does better or worse than the other. I demoed the prior generation 770 and found that the sweet spot provided ample, if not too much, ball speed compared to off center hits. Wondering which provided greater consistency in your experience.
