The story of my new irons was started in "What did you but this week" and the thread is getting hard to follow.
I was asked to give a more thorough review once I had a little more time with them.

I would like to hear your comments if you own or used any of the TM 7 series irons.
As always - PLEASE CHIME IN!!!

So let's get this started:
Fitted for and ordered on February 12
TM P770 - 6-AW & TM P790 4&5 irons - DG VSS105- R300
LONG wait and many date changes I finally got them April 28th.

Scramble 2 days later - I was impressed with several shots but could tell there was going to be a break in period...🙂
Two more rounds with no range sessions other than pre round warm up got me a bit more comfortable - no buyers remorse set in.

Yesterday,(3rd official round) I had more GIRs or on the fringe than I can remember in 1 round. I would have had my best score in 5 or 6 years if I hadn't 3 putted 7 times(couldn't make anything from 24"" to 32" get in the hole)😡

Current opinion of the irons - I love them!

  • THEY FIT ME!
  • They're good looking in the bag and at address
  • Distance & ball flight are consistent.
  • Way more forgiving than I expected - minimal distance loss on off center strikes
  • Better stopping power than I expected.
  • PW and AW have REALLY surprised me. I'm by no means a short game wizard but with these I almost look like a wizard trainee!
  • The lighter shafts have eliminated the elbow pain and I'm not worn out at the end of a round.
    -😘🙂

I NEED a NEW PUTTER...

    Nice review and feedback. Hearing that they are more forgiving than you anticipated is good. They are beautiful looking irons.

    Just recently got P770 5-P, but haven't taken them on the course yet. Got them right before a big 2 day tourney and I decided to stick with the old set since I had barely hit the new ones. So far just a few range sessions, but they seem a bit more forgiving than my old set while still being a similar size. I was really surprised that I liked the DG 105 shafts so much. I have always hated DG and my old set has Recoil 110 graphite.

          Spuzz I have not been playing that well as it is and just didn't want to add anything new into the mix. Not sure it would have mattered as my iron play was as hot and cold as my driver.

            I get it! My DRIVER, HYBRID, IRONS and WEDGES were all working on the same day but my putter failed me...it's going in TIME OUT!

            I was using DG s300's and the difference with DG 105's is amazing. Lighter, more responsive and yet very stable. I was worried about scattering the ball all over the place.

                  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.

                        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.
