Why We Like It
Yes, tour players use this iron, but even average players can enjoy many benefits. Tungsten, for example, is used in the longer irons to make it easier to get shots airborne. Despite its classic looks, this is a hollow-body iron with a face as thin as 1.55 millimeters. The thin face and TaylorMade’s “speed-pocket slot” produce plenty of spring-like effect at impact.
Characteristics

Reviews
Classic, compact head instills confidence and lets you know you have control. Produces a mid-to-low piercing ball flight. Easy to keep short irons down, even in the wind.
BK, 41, Handicap: 1Good turf interaction with a crisp sound off of the face. That sensory feedback makes it easy to tell center strikes from mis-hits. Consistent carry distances that hold the line well.
Josh, 28, Handicap: 1Ball feels springy and soft off the face, especially on center strikes. Shots have a high trajectory that doesn’t spin too much. Controllable, but still forgiving.
Wayne, 59, Handicap: 6Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
From the manufacturer
TaylorMade P·770
P·770 features a compact, tour proven shape with a thinner top line, less offset in long irons and a shorter blade length. With its hollow body construction and forged L-Face, P·770 yields elevated distance, forgiveness and excellent feel in a smaller sized head. P·770 features FLTD CG™, a strategic design that positions the center of gravity (CG) lowest in long irons and progressively shifts it higher throughout the set. This encourages easier launch and playability in the long irons, while optimizing trajectory and spin in the scoring clubs. The sound and feel of P·770 is pristine with the addition of SpeedFoam™ Air™, which dampens sound and strategically supports the face. Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ and Inverted Cone Technology help unlock increased ball speed across the face and forgiveness low in the face.
