What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the P770 (2025) is 33° and the P790 (2025) is 30°, a 3° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the P790 (2025) should carry roughly 9 to 12 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the P770 (2025). Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the P790 (2025) averages 2.1° stronger, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (33° vs 30°). The pitching wedges are 45° and 44°; the stronger one leaves a 6° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the P770 (2025) runs 3-iron to AW (9 clubs), the P790 (2025) 4-iron to AW (8 clubs).
The P770 (2025) is a players iron and the P790 (2025) a players distance iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The P790 (2025) is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The P770 (2025) 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.
Both heads are listed as forged hollow body. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help.
The P790 (2025) came out 1 year after the P770 (2025), 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 P790 (2025) is the stronger-lofted set — up to 3° stronger than the P770 (2025) on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TaylorMade P770 (2025) stronger lofted than the P790 (2025)?
No. The P790 (2025) is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 30° against 33° for the TaylorMade P770 (2025), 3° stronger and worth roughly 9 to 12 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the TaylorMade P770 (2025) and P790 (2025)?
At the 7-iron the difference is 3° (33° vs 30°). The largest gap on a shared club is 3° at the 7-iron, and all 8 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the TaylorMade P770 (2025) or the P790 (2025)?
The P790 (2025). As a players distance iron it is the more forgiving design, suited to roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The TaylorMade P770 (2025) is a players iron, better suited to roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
Do the TaylorMade P770 (2025) and P790 (2025) have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37 inches long.
