What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the TW767 Tour V is 32° and the TW777 PCB Max is 28°, a 4° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the TW777 PCB Max should carry roughly 12 to 16 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the TW767 Tour V. Across the 5 clubs both sets share, the TW777 PCB Max averages 3.6° stronger, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (32° vs 28°). Beyond loft, the TW767 Tour V 7-iron sits 1° flatter (61.5° vs 62.5°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander; the TW777 PCB Max 7-iron is 0.5 inches longer (36.75" vs 37.25").
The sets are built differently: the TW767 Tour V runs 4-iron to P (7 clubs), the TW777 PCB Max 5-iron to SW (9 clubs).
The TW767 Tour V is a players iron and the TW777 PCB Max a game improvement iron, so they sit 2 steps apart on the forgiveness scale. The TW777 PCB Max is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The TW767 Tour V trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
The TW767 Tour V is listed as one-piece forged, soft iron and the TW777 PCB Max as forged body with a full-cup face insert and internal vibration-damping emblem. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The TW777 PCB Max came out 1 year after the TW767 Tour V, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The TW777 PCB Max is the stronger-lofted set — up to 4° stronger than the TW767 Tour V on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
