How can the 790 have more offset if you added 2.5* of loft?. You put more bounce in the club and took out the offset

longer iron heads produce less side spin. that is their purpose. it is also why most sets have longer bladed irons in lower lofts.
better players prefer more compact heads because they can turn them more readily, hence reason tour players prefer them.
it is shocking that “expert” fitters have this wrong.

Right. You know better than Ian. Please open up a fitting shop and sort everyone out.

You both provide a very detailed and fabulous analysis of these clubs. Really enjoyed the commentary and the technical information provided.
Look forward to now watching more videos from you both.
A job very well done!!

Dry for techno-peasant dummies…. scintillating for scientific competents. 😛

Can you point to the place in the video where they analyze dispersion? I’ve asked for that information from them a couple of times but each club testing video is the same basic information that really adds nothing to the discussion. Anyone can do these tests and lots of YT’ers do. The “tech” talk is just repeating the same things over and over and most of it is nonsense and based on tired old wives tales about golf and very little based on science. Their analysis of the two clubs sounds very technical and important and makes the clubs sound very distinctive. Then you take a look at the numbers and find out they are almost identical.

Dispersion is a function of the golfer’s ability to control the club face, not the ability of the club to guide the ball. Besides, this so-called “test” is done indoors with monitor data feedback. A true test would be done outdoors under playing conditions by somebody who has played both sets for at least a week before making this video.

The golfers ability to control the club face is determined also by the length of the clubface(degree of eccentricity). The longer clubface the more control is demanded of the golfer’s subconscious.

You should start your own channel and invest in yourself and we will judge you and be extremely critical as well. SMH.

FAKE-FORGED ALERT:
Still no determination and admission that both models with hollow cavity with foam-fill are cast steel backs with a forged faceplate only… notwithstanding TM have “Forged” marked on the cast hosel.
When will GolfWRX staff expose this TM (and PXG) scam to warn their supporters and viewers?
Fake Forged... Ogo that you??

Lance I think you are talking about marketing. Last I looked there is no laws against this.
You see just like when McDonalds shows us this amazing burger stacked high and juxy. With meat sticking out all sides served by a skinny cute girl slicing fresh tomatoes with a smile… only to receive something from a fat greasy lady with a mustach and a sandwich that looks like she sat on it to warm it up. It is completely legal.
If you think you are uncovering some crazy conspiracy than you are a fool. This is life and it’s all around us. You either take what you can or you get taken.

Thank you, FF…. for your legal analysis of lying to gullible golfers who only look at the back, sole and topline of irons… and then tell us whether they ‘love’ it or not. Metallurgy is irrelevant. So you believe these foam filled TM irons are fake forged, but you meekly accept it like all the other gearheads here. Pity…

You think the ball knows if a club is forged? Do you think the ball travels further or has more or less spin because a club is forged? Last I checked its how few of strokes it takes to get the ball in the hole.
What a Pity, that there are golf snobs that after spending time looking at the mirror are woried about if their clubs has FORGED written on it or not.
This test was head to head between the 790 and 760. The 790 is an excellent club and in the right hands the 760 is too. The 790 more of a distance iron. I have never met anyone that is disapointed in that model- heck even the driving iron That Rose, Rahm, johnson and I beleive Koepke used the 790 head, yes that awful non forged, fleecing of the public 790 head (sarcasm)

The 790 is more of a distance iron? By what measure? The numbers between these two clubs were practically identical.
geohogan

With identical shape, identical loft, identical shaft
all irons are simply blobs of metal(forged or cast )
separated from one another by marketing.
The longer the head the more inertia, more twist, more droop=less consistent accuracy.

I have never read such nonsense
Anyone buying these knows EXACTLY what they are and EXACTLY how they are constructed
Where is the deception???
Who cares if ther is some foam injection, etc., what matters is how they look at address, how they feel and how they perform
I play MP 18’s but if these felt good and put a lower score on my card I would bag them and I wouldn’t care about the foam or forged face or any false forged snobbery pretence

The P-760 vs the P-790?
While the P-730 iron model remains RH Only.
Thanks for the test.
