Taylormade P790 Vs Titleist T350 Irons Comparison Overview

Taylormade P790 Vs Titleist T350 Irons

Hollow body construction tends to add distance to golf clubs.

That’s because the face is generally unsupported by a hollow body design which allows it to flex more at impact.

So if you’re looking to get more distance out of your iron play, hollow body irons aren’t a bad choice.

Today we will be looking at a couple of quality, hollow body iron options: the Titleist T350’s and the Taylormade P790 irons.

Taylormade P790 Irons Overview

“One of the coolest things about the Taylormade P790 irons is that each club in the set has a unique internal geometry.”

Every club in the P790 set has been individually tuned to provide maximum distance and forgiveness.

The CG is also progressive in this set. And of course, the Taylormade P790 irons have a hollow body design.

I liked the feel of the forged 4140 steel. It’s not super-soft. I would describe it more as solid. The ball doesn’t melt into the face.

Instead, you can feel it spring off the face. The 7-iron in this set produced an average carry of 144.9 yards for me.

Definitely not bad but it’s pretty close to my average carry with my gamers. I was expecting a bit more.

But these irons launch pretty high so maybe that’s why I wasn’t seeing huge distance improvements. I tend to play longer with lower-launching irons.

Titleist T350 Irons Overview

“The Titleist T350 irons played longer than the P790’s; but the difference wasn’t massive.”

With the Titleist T350 7-iron, I averaged a carry distance of 149.6 yards.

And some of that distance gain might be attributed to the slightly stronger lofts of the Titleist T350’s.

In addition to the hollow body design, the Titleist T350 irons feature a forged face insert.

Overall, the Taylormade P790 irons had a better feel but the Titleist T350’s were more consistent. I was able to shape shots fairly well and hit straight shots when I needed to.

But more importantly, the distance and dispersion of the Titleist T350 irons were more predictable.

“I think if you’re looking for the better game improvement irons, the Titleist T350’s are the better choice.

They play a bit longer than the Taylormade P790 irons and are a bit more forgiving as well. The P790’s are still really good hollow body irons though. They would likely be better for mid handicappers.”

Taylormade P790 – First Impressions

The first thing to notice about the P790 irons is the compact, forged heads that come in a shape and style that will suit the better players.

Despite the players feel of the irons, they also come packed with technology that will add distance and forgiveness like the Thru Slot speed pocket, speed foam and inverted cone technology which allows more flex on impact.

The forged irons are actually a hollow construction, filled with speed foam which allows much greater distances to be achieved than the original P790’s and the tungsten weighting keeps the CG low for an easy launch for an iron of this type.

The original P790 irons, released in 2017, were definitely for the players but with the remodelling in 2019, these can also be used for mid handicappers looking to test the waters of players irons.

All in all, definitely not for the high handicappers.

Titleist T350 – First Impressions

“I liked the fact that there isn’t a lot going on with the Titleist T350 irons.”

There is very little physical business in these irons. The cavity plate is plain and unremarkable and the shaping of the head is closer to a traditional blade.

I was expecting beauty from these Titleist irons and they didn’t disappoint.

When I started swinging them, I liked the fact that the launch angles I was getting were low.

This may confound higher handicap players who do better distance-wise with steep launch angles.

But for my aggressive swing and swing speed, the launch was perfect.

On the other hand, I was finding it difficult to stick on greens with anything longer than the 7-iron in this set.

With the premium price point, we wouldn’t be rushing out to get these irons unless you are due an upgrade and they are the best clubs for you after fitting.

The hollow body players distance iron market is quite competitive.

Who Are The P790 Irons For

The P790 irons will be most effective for the better players and certain mid handicappers who want to work the ball a bit more.

If you are looking for a blend of feel and distance, these are going to be the perfect irons for you.

If you are just starting out in the game, you would be better off with a game improvement iron.

Taylormade P Family Of Irons

The P790 UDI is a driving iron with minimal offset and a straighter top line for incredible distance.

The P790 TI range has more distance and forgiveness built in, so worth a look for those more on the mid handicapper side of the scale.

Distance: 92/100

Accuracy: 95/100

Forgiveness: 89/100

Feel And Control: 96/100

Overall Score: 94/100

Who Are the Titleist T350 Irons for?

I feel that the Titleist T350 irons would be most beneficial for players in the 15 to 25 handicap range.

As Titleist irons, they naturally have some workability even though they are game improvement irons.

But they also have a generous head shape compared to other Titleist GI irons so 20-25 handicappers will have an easier time with them.

If your club path is still inconsistent, the Titleist T350 irons can’t do much for you as the dispersion isn’t automatically tight.

But if you are reasonably accurate, the Titleist T350 irons will get you where you need to go.

The T Series Family of Irons

Included in the T series of irons from Titleist is the Titleist T400 set.

The Titleist T400 irons are the most forgiving in the series and are best for beginners and high handicappers.

They don’t offer the same kind of responsive feel as the Titleist T350 irons; but they have a more expansive sweet spot for players who struggle with accuracy.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are the T100 irons which are best for single-digit handicappers.
