We recommend Taylormade P770s for strong ball striking mid handicaps – say an 11 or so – on down to low handicaps that like added forgiveness in their player irons.

They’ve got:

  1. Stellar performance in a compact “player” package.
  2. Superb feel and solid at impact.
  3. They’re gorgeous. Look great behind the ball at address and in the bag.

I spent a couple of weeks with the P-770s. On the range, on my mat, and on the course. My only regret was returning them.

They can deliver any shot your skill level allows. High and straight is their default, but you can:

  • Flight them down into the wind.
  • Step on them for more distance.
  • Take something off if you’re between clubs.
  • Turn it left or right if that’s part of your game.

I’ve said it before on this site, but Taylormade knows how to do irons.

Customer Reviews: Average rating of 4.9 with 182 200 reviews. 100% (81 of 81) would recommend the P-770s.

Recommendation: Excellent choice for ~11 handicaps on down that prefer compact clubheads and player performance with a touch of game improvement forgiveness & help with distance.

Taylormade P-7MC Irons

We recommend Taylormade P-7MCs for scratch to about a 4 handicap.

Why? They require consistent center contact and a good swing or you lose beaucoup performance.

That said, here’s what we like: (Everything I’m saying requires great contact from a good swing.)

  • Solid & soft feel.
  • Fly straight and high, but can easily be flighted down when needed.
  • Shaping shots left or right if that’s part of your game.
  • Just a smidge of forgiveness.

I’m able to play them…just barely. But, I have to be on my best behavior and I can’t keep that up for long. At least not this early in the season. I could play up to a 7-iron pretty consistently. I’m asking for trouble if tried to play every day with 6-iron on down.

Make center contact and they sing. Long and high with a tight draw for me. Slight misses cost you distance right away.

They do exactly what they’re designed to do and they’re money in the right player’s hands. (0-3ish handicap)

Customer Reviews: Average rating of 4.9 with 83 reviews. 93.94% (31 of 33) would recommend the P-7MCs.

Recommendation: For consistently great ball strikers. The rest of us may want them…but we should pick more forgiving irons.

We recommend Taylormade P-7MBs for tour pros and scratch golfers with great ball striking. (I know some of you will buy them anyway)

Why? They require consistent center contact and a good swing or you lose beaucoup all performance – pretty much.

  • Even tour pros I found that play the MBs switch out the long irons for the MCs or the P-770s.

I think I hit 3 solid shots with them during my round. When I did, here’s what I found.

  • Solid & soft feel – same as the MCs
  • Fly straight and high, but can easily be flighted down when needed.
  • Shaping shots left or right if that’s part of your game.
  • Just a smidge complete lack of forgiveness.

I can not play these irons and no one I personally know can/should play these irons. These are for Tiger Woods & Adam Scott.

They are absolute jewels in the bag and at address (along with a heavy dose of intimidation in the mid and long irons).

But, don’t be tempted. You need to be legit scratch with legit elite ball striking. You can’t even just be scratch.

Like the P-7MCs, make center contact and they sing. Long and high with a tight draw for me. Slight misses yield bad results.

They’re gorgeous and do exactly what they’re designed to do. They’re money in the right player’s hands. (0-3ish handicap)

Customer Reviews: Average rating of 4.9 with 51 reviews. 96% (22 of 23) would recommend the P-7MBs.

Recommendation: For Tiger Woods & Adam Scott. Maybe Rory McIlroy.

We recommend Taylormade Stealths irons for 15 handicaps up to better high handicaps.

They’re Taylormade‘s most forgiving irons and most popular irons…by far. Figures, because most golfers need game improvement irons.

Stealth irons feel great in my hands. Look great at address. And, hit the ball a ton. You can hit ’em high. You can flight them down. You can play any shot you want with these irons. 

Taylormade Stealth irons are money and exactly what you want out of game improvement irons. They happen to be better looking than the SIM or SIM2 irons too. 

Customer Reviews: Average rating of 4.8 with 1034 reviews. 99% (367 of 369) would recommend the Stealths.

Recommendation: Need to be on your shortlist if you’re in the market for new game improvement irons. 

Verdict on the Best Taylormade Irons

My favorite Taylormades I’ve tested are the P-770s. They’re gorgeous, compact, completely playable for good ball strikers, and fun to hit.

I enjoyed the P-7MCs too, but more work than I currently want.
The P-7MBs are exactly what Taylormade says they are. Weapons for elite ball strikers.

My #1 suggestion is to test before you buy. Either at your local golf store or take advantage of Global Golf’s Utry trial program. I use it and recommend it. 

Thanks for checking out our review of the best Taylormade irons. Let me know which ones you play.
