“Very impressive set of golf clubs”
A near carbon copy of the P790 formula at GBP 480 for seven irons, and he was impressed by looks, feel and numbers.
+ the facts · 5 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Look fantastic, shiny chrome with clean branding
- +Seven iron carried 174 yards average with 6,200 rpm spin
- +Off-heel mishit still found the green from 9 yards
- −No custom fitting at all, only regular or stiff and right-handed
- −Four iron shaft felt too whippy for his speed
- −Heavily derivative of the TaylorMade P790
For: Middle-of-the-road golfers who fit standard specs.

“the perfect example of Loft jacking”
Great value and better looking and sounding than expected, but the set is loft-jacked with a hot 7-iron, a 4-iron that will not launch, and a spin profile that punishes low-spin golf balls.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 5 cons− the facts
- +Seven-piece set at $499 is strong value
- +7-iron shape, straight top line and 2.7mm of offset were liked
- +Sound is muted and metallic, not the echoey noise expected
- −Huge gap from a 130-yard pitching wedge to a 180-yard 7-iron
- −4-iron apexed low and struggled for launch, no dedicated low CG
- −Pitching wedge top line has an awkward rounded arch
For: Someone getting into the game who wants a full set without spending thousands.
