There’s a number buried in your typical launch monitor report you should be paying attention to because it might be the difference between hitting greens instead of just visiting them.
The fifth generation of TaylorMade’s players-distance P·790 irons boast a new steel alloy for the face that is 20 percent stronger than in the previous iteration. This allows for a fast, thin face that delivers more rebound at impact.
Towards the end of last year, the two-time major winner started dropping hints regarding a big development in the gear space, one that continued to progress this week during DeChambeau’s appearance at the Asian Tour’s International Series India event.
Although the JPX925 Hot Metal line was launched last spring, this follow-up is the forged model that utilises a zippy face material for plenty of distance in a forged iron while delivering the syrupy feel Mizuno is known for in its irons.
The Callaway Elyte drivers look to maximise distance by combining the most productive aspects of a forgiving, lower spin head design with an aerodynamically sleek shape – two design paradigms that typically work at cross purposes.
During an interview with Jason Sobel and Michael Collins on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio, Rai told the story and philosophy behind his iron covers, and it dates back to his childhood.
TaylorMade launches two new irons directed at better players, the fresh single-piece forged cavity back P·7CB and a sleek aesthetic upgrade to the fast-faced P·770. But with better players’ demands in mind, both still offer distinct commitments to ball speed and forgiveness.
If you want to take advantage of that fancy new driver you spent half your pay cheque on, you’ve got to learn to make contact with the ball in the sweet spot more often.
