It is no surprise that TaylorMade Golf’s latest innovations have produced the powerfully light P790 irons. Known for their drivers, TaylorMade has made an impression with these 2021 irons.

The P790 irons have a thin yet strong clubface, thanks to the SpeedFoam™ Air technology, and a larger sweet spot and lower center of gravity (CG) for improved forgiveness. Who wouldn’t want distance and accuracy in their TaylorMade iron set?

What is SpeedFoam™ Air Technology?

The new TaylorMade irons - the P790 - have made a splash in today’s market because they have incredible technology behind the clubface. The SpeedFoam™ Air technology, a step up from their previous SpeedFoam™ technology, is inserted into the P790 irons’ clubfaces to provide support and feel.

The TaylorMade P790 irons are thin and light, which means TaylorMade Golf needed to add support with their latest technology. Not only does the SpeedFoam™ Air accomplish that, but it also gives the irons a pure feel and sound.

How Does Clubface Affect Ball Speed?

In addition to the forgiveness and feel, why is it important that the TaylorMade P790 irons have a thin clubface? The answer is ball speed.

Ball speed is the speed of the golf ball when it leaves the clubface after impact. (If you’re interested in knowing all your launch monitor numbers, see our numbers guide). The higher your ball speed, the more solid your contact. Solid contact, of course, leads to greater accuracy and distance.

If you’re looking to increase your distance and accuracy, the TaylorMade P790 irons should be a consideration. Not only are their clubfaces materially optimized to increase your ball speed, but these new TaylorMade irons also increase the sweet spot for a better chance at solid contact. These are two major features that significantly improve your chance of increasing your smash factor (and, thereby, your distance and accuracy).

The TaylorMade P790 irons are hot in all sorts of ways - an impressive portfolio of technology, a sleek design and a slew of positive customer reviews. If you’re looking for TaylorMade irons that increase your distance and accuracy via their ball speed, the P790 irons are for you.
