What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the P770 (2017) is 33° and the P760 is 33°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the P760 averages 0.3° stronger, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (20.5° vs 19.5°). Beyond loft, the P760 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (36.75" vs 37").
Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The P770 (2017) is listed as forged cavity back with tungsten back bar and the P760 as forged multi-material, hollow in the long irons. The P760's hollow body lets the face flex more and moves mass low and outward, usually giving higher launch and more ball speed on off-centre strikes than the P770 (2017), at some cost in feel. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.
The P760 arrived 1 year after the P770 (2017), a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.
Which should you choose?
The P760 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the P770 (2017) on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

What is the loft difference between the TaylorMade P770 (2017) and P760?
At the 7-iron the difference is 0° (33° vs 33°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 3-iron, and 4 of the 9 shared clubs differ.
Are the TaylorMade P770 (2017) and P760 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
