logicalone LET'S ALL BUY A SCOTTY!!!!
I just find another in the closet or swing by Goodwill AGAIN
Maugust789 I have found quite a bit of fortune at Goodwill & Salvation Army, but yet to find the Holy Grail of putters.
No Scott’s for me! I’m gonna buy a logicalOne putter when they come out 
Maugust789 I finally used my P770's in our league and they worked well. The 5i and 6i feel like they may need some weight, but these things are smooth. It was a bit windy and I think the DG105 work better than the Recoil 110. Seemed like the flight was never ballooning and I didn't get any of the larger than expected draws the old irons would surprise me with.

Good news. I'm the same way no "in the woods on the left" for me and distance loss on mishits is minimal which I'm not accustomed to.
I think they call that forgiveness...
How do like the feel?
I came from full forged irons and it is a noticeable difference to me. It is still a good powerful feel just not the soft buttery feel of full forged. I can still tell where the ball is headed at impact but maybe not exactly where I hit it on the face.
I mark my balls with a big blue Sharpie dot so I have evidence of contact(on par 3's) which is helping me understand set up and impact point.

That's funny because I came from forged as well, Apex Pro, and I think these feel really nice. Mostly the 8-P though. The 5-7 with the slots feel nice, but also bit odd. The 8-P feel really pure, but the 5-7 have more of a 2-piece feel which is not bad, but just not as smooth.

I agree, they do have a great feel just different. When I was fitted I thought the topline was too thick but I got used to the look pretty quickly. I came from Wilson Fi5's (2006) and Wilson FGV2 (2011). I'm thinking of re-shafting the
Fi5's with the DG105's for a back up set.

A great round today. Net 67. Irons did exactly what they were supposed to do. They kept me in play. Different putter from the closet this week helped. The old trusty TM SLDR driver was on fire most of the day.
I’ve been starting to look at those irons myself as my next set. Reading a lot of reviews. The 790's look fine to me size and top line. Picking up a set of the 2017 ones would save me some $$ too. Thinking some about a combo set but matching the 770 lofts the p790 lofts. They just look and perform so similar maybe forgiveness is the deciding factor.

The combo sets should be adjusted for loft. TM has a chart that shows how to make the adjustments for combining the 700 series. For example I got the 790 4 and 5 irons and the fitter adjusted them to 770 loft
They blend well and I picked up the height I needed on the 4 and 5

Follow up after 9 rounds with the new irons. Overall very happy with the P770/790 combo.
Due to some decent driving and fewer 3 putts I've matched or beat my handicap in 4 of the 9 rounds.
Three of the 10 rounds were absolute rubbish on fantastic courses that ate my lunch in 95* temps with 95 to 100% humidity.
Handicap has dropped 1.6 strokes since the beginning of May when I got them!
HAPPY - HAPPY - HAPPY
Nice!!! But in all honesty I was hoping they sucked for you and you were selling them for $12 shipped

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!!!!!
If you're in the market to save some $$ I have other treasures I've collected(ho'd) that I thought were indispensable.
I have been better with my P770's as well although I think I'm just swinging the irons better. I have a lot of pro shop credit so I had the pro order me a P790 4 iron to add in. Not sure why as I'm good with 6-P, but pretty iffy with the 4 & 5.
Typhoon Could be the shaft you have in them works well for you.
Could be. My old set has Recoil 110 Stiff while this set has DG 105 R300. They actually feel fairly similar as the VSS in the DG105 really smooths things out. Distance is pretty much the same, but I think the P770 is a bit more forgiving than the Apex 16 Pro.
