TaylorMade P790 Black 2019 Single Irons & Wedges
The TaylorMade P790 Black 2019 Single Irons & Wedges are a limited-edition variant of the 2019 P790 series, designed for mid-to-low handicap golfers (5–15 handicap) seeking a blend of explosive distance, forgiveness, and a premium forged feel with a striking black PVD finish. Featuring SpeedFoam™ Technology, a forged hollow-body construction, and low-profile tungsten weighting, these clubs deliver high ball speeds, optimal launch, and enhanced forgiveness. Ideal for custom set building or replacing individual clubs, they appeal to players who value performance and aesthetics.
- High-Gloss Black PVD Finish: A premium, durable black PVD coating provides a bold, sleek look that stands out, enhancing confidence at address while maintaining durability.
- Forged Hollow Body Construction: Combines a thin, wrap-around forged 4140 steel face with a soft carbon steel body, promoting explosive distance and forgiveness without sacrificing feel.
- SpeedFoam™ Technology: Ultra-light urethane foam injected into the clubhead supports face flexibility, boosting ball speed while improving sound and feel for a premium impact experience.
- Low Profile Tungsten Weighting: Up to 46g of tungsten strategically placed low in the head lowers the center of gravity, increasing launch and forgiveness, especially on off-center strikes.
- Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™: Enhances face flexibility, preserving ball speed and distance on low-face strikes, ideal for common mishits.
- Progressive Inverted Cone Technology (PICT): Optimizes accuracy across the set, minimizing right misses (left for left-handers) in long irons by positioning the cone toward the toe.

Performance Notes:
- Player Profile: Suited for mid-to-low handicappers (5–15 handicap) with moderate to high swing speeds (85–100+ mph driver speed), seeking distance, forgiveness, and workability with a premium aesthetic. Ideal for players who want a players-distance iron with a bold look.
- Distance and Forgiveness: Testing shows 5–10 yards more carry than traditional players’ irons (e.g., 7-iron at 165–175 yards for 90 mph swing speed, ~5,500–6,000 rpm spin). High forgiveness due to the Speed Pocket and tungsten weighting, though low spin may reduce stopping power on greens for high-speed players.
- Feel and Sound: SpeedFoam™ delivers a crisp, solid feel with a “snappy” sound on center strikes; mishits are slightly louder but maintain decent feedback, described as softer than the 2017 P790.
