TaylorMade have kept the magic in the P790 with a nice refresh of their best selling irons for 2025.

They slimmed down the topline and cleaned the head shape to look a bit more compact, like the P770 but kept the hollow body forged face design that gives you an explosively soft feel with a bigger sweet spot than before.

The tungsten weighting in the toe adds stability without killing workability which is great if you wanna shape shots sometimes but still get forgiveness if you catch one on the heel or toe.

The Speed Foam Air tech means these irons launch high and long but keep solid control with consistent spin rates and tight dispersion rates.

Turf interaction is improved thanks to a progressive leading edge too, making them glide smoothly through the tough from a variety of lies.

The P790 sound like a best seller from Taylormade, gorgeous, soft, and with a beautiful feel when you catch them flush.

The P790’s will suit Mid to low handicappers looking for a sleek players iron with a bit more forgiveness and a nice pop off the face alongside consistency.

Golfers who don’t want to give up too much distance and want that classicly clean looking set of irons in the bag.

Callaway Apex Ai150 Irons Overview – Player Cavity Back With Twist

Callaway’s Apex Ai150 irons bring a classy players look with a forged hollow body and two face materials, a stainless steel cup on the longer irons and a 17-4 face on the scoring clubs.

They look sharp with a shiny chrome and matte mix, modest offset hidden well by the finish, and thin but nthe top line is not too sleek to put off a mid handicap golfer.

The launch is mid trajectory with predictable ball flight aided by slightly weaker lofts compared to their Ai200 line.

They give a nice blend of distance, forgiveness and control but lean a little more on consistent feel and turf interaction rather than outright forgiveness.

The Low bounce also leads to excellent turf interaction across the set.

The sound is crisp and moderately loud, sitting between classic and modern players irons, with enough feedback for working the ball without being too harsh.

The Ai150 Irons will also suit Mid to low handicappers wanting a clean players iron shape that won’t punish slight misses, enjoy some forgiveness and want a reliable, consistent flight.

Overall Comparison

The TaylorMade P790 2025 irons are the choice if you want that hollow body tech delivering a higher ball flight, more spin, more accuracy and less distance.

They are perfect blend of the players workability with more forgiveness and consistency with tight dispersion rates.
