TaylorMade’s first P·770 was released in 2017 alongside the P·750, and it was a better-player’s cavity-back iron, but in 2020, it was updated and radically changed. The cavity-back design was gone, and in its place, the 2020 P·770 featured a hollow-body construction that featured a look in the address position that accomplished golfers would appreciate.

That club was updated again in 2023, and now TaylorMade has updated it again for 2024. The new P·770 irons have the same script on the side and brushed chrome finish that the other P Series irons have been given, so from a visual standpoint, golfers and fitters can opt to use them as a complete set or blend the P·770 with P·790, P·7CB or even P·7MB irons to create a blended but cohesive set.
Who are the new TaylorMade P·770 irons for?
The P·770 is a better-player’s distance iron. It is for low-handicap golfers who want a compact head shape but who also desire more ball speed and some forgiveness.

What should you know about the new TaylorMade P·770 irons?
In the address position, golfers may notice TaylorMade has designed the topline of the updated P·770 to be thinner, but looking at the clubs, they might not notice the leading edge of the 3-iron through 7-iron have been smoothed and pre-worn. The sole is still slightly wider than the P·7CB and P·7MB, but it is thinner than other TaylorMade irons. According to TaylorMade, the tight leading-edge radius and thin sole should help the P·770 get in and out of the turf more efficiently while also creating a higher launch angle with the long irons.
The P·770 irons have L-shaped faces that are forged using 4041 stainless steel. They are designed to wrap under the leading edge and into the sole, and the 3-iron through 7-iron have been designed with a Speed Pocket slot that is positioned directly behind the leading edge. The slot, which is covered by a polymer to keep water and debris out of the heads, allows the lower portion of the hitting area to flex more efficiently on low-struck shots for increased distance.
TaylorMade fills the inner chamber of the P·770 with SpeedFoam Air, a light material that soaks up excessive vibrations to enhance sound and feel. Making the center of the club lighter also pushes more overall weight to the perimeter, which boosts stability without making the clubs larger.
Designers also strategically positioned tungsten weights inside each head, with the precise location and amount of tungsten varying by club. This allows TaylorMade to lower and elevate the center of gravity (CG) location based on what the club is designed to do. TaylorMade refers to this as FLTD CG, with the long irons having the most tungsten and lowest CG, so they produce a higher launch angle. Progressing through the set, the CG location rises, so the short irons feature the highest CG locations, so shots come off lower for increased accuracy and control.
The P·770 lofts are typical for modern, better-player distance irons, with a 3-iron at 19 degrees, 6-iron at 29 degrees and 9-iron at 41 degrees. The P·770 pitching wedge has 45 degrees of loft, and there is an attack wedge available that has 50 degrees of loft.

How does the TaylorMade P·770 compare to other TaylorMade irons?
The TaylorMade P·770 is very similar in construction and appearance to the P·790, but the P·770 is smaller and has a shorter blade length and slightly thinner topline.
The P·770 is slightly larger than the new P·7CB, but the P·7CB is a solid-bodied club while the P·770 is hollow. Therefore, the P·770 should create more ball speed and distance, and its slightly larger size should make it more forgiving and stable on mis-hits. The P·770 will also hit the ball higher and with less spin than the P·7CB.
How much do the new TaylorMade P·770 irons cost?
The TaylorMade P·770 irons cost $1,399.99 (seven clubs) and come standard with True Temper Dynamic Gold Mid 115 steel shafts and Golf Pride Z grips.
When will the new TaylorMade P·770 be in stores?
The TaylorMade P·770 irons will be available for pre-sale on July 31 and should be in stores starting on September 6.
