 One thing lockdown has taught me is that you do take things for granted and the great outdoors being one of them so in Wales as I live we're able to get out and about still and I'm up in and making the most of that fresh air but yeah we're gonna look at the golf club we're gonna look at two we're gonna look at the P770 the P790 it's long irons and trying to identify what the difference is don't worry we ain't gonna be hitting any golf balls up here we're down at Conway Golf Club and for golf some data and we'll try and make some sense of this one it's another interesting one and believe me there is a difference between these two irons. Now you all know I love a backdrop and that's a backdrop at Slen Padan for those of you're interested and to my left you won't see it today with this mist is a Snowden but P770 P790 massive irons for tailor-made both some extremely popular in terms of sales what splits them speed foam injection identical they look very similar smaller profile of P770 was introduced for the player and there's a bit of loft difference but there's also another major difference that splits these two clubs when I tried both on testing and out there on the course I need something to eat right back off the mountain onto the course less breezy at Conway Golf Club I can tell you that much I wouldn't have fancied a couple of five irons into the breeze off the top of that hill but the performance out here on the course is interesting is where it starts off the difference that we see two balls of just teed off with what splits them is a few yards which in all honesty we've not got there yet but in terms of dry ball data that's exactly what we've seen and that's relative to loft as you can imagine but the major difference is not where they finish but it's how they get from A to B and you've probably seen it already but that's where the major difference lies and that's where choosing these irons that factor that we're going to get to is what would be it'll play a major part in whether you like or don't like that elements I'll get to it in a minute that was a decent ball in and ball flight again that was the P770 before we talk about that ball flight let's go and have a look at some dry ball data break down the numbers and then we'll have a closer look at exactly what happened with that ball flight and how it perhaps differs from the P790 these two clubs just go like absolute miles of five iron that's what I said you're over a mile I'll keep I think it's really easy to get obsessed with data and almost get misled by it at times but I think what's been interesting in this is that I want to point out this video first of all started off as purely a long iron test trying out five irons in P770 and P790 and I suppose the thing I was looking at was which was the easiest to play for average golfers but once I started recording data which is where this thing started there was something that highlighted straight away I noticed it when I was hitting the balls down at four golf and then when I compared them both together in terms of the data it was it highlighted a massive difference between the two clubs and like I said it then went onto the golf course and the exact same thing happened so is the data that I gathered at four golf and we'll break it down a little bit what I want to say first of all both of these sets of numbers are incredibly good numbers I mean spin rate 4768 4404 I'd take that all day long on a five iron 189 carry on the 770 195 or the 790 I was surprised at the gap wasn't bigger because to be quite honest with you with that sort of one and a half degrees worth of loft I suppose maybe a suppose between five and ten yards in and around there so but yet a little surprised 128 ball speed 132 ball speed and then these are the two numbers that we're now getting down to what these differences are 12.2 launch angle on the P790 15 degrees on the P770 then take a look and jump forward to peak height 96 feet average peak height on the P770 81 peak height on the 790 land angle 45 degrees as opposed to 40 degrees now that's how huge huge difference massively difference in terms of its ball flight and it will like I said make a huge difference to how you decide or to determine what you want from your long irons now for me what I recognize straight away that the P770 just jumped out at me in terms of what it did in terms of ball flight because it's not just that it's launching high the spin number is really good so it's not launching and floating and going nowhere it's still moving forward it's a 189 carry it's got 4768 spin and it's got that land angle and descent angle so for me to be hitting a long iron in with those kind of numbers it was an incredibly positive element to the review that only put them side by side would I recognize they recognize visually what the difference was straight away but it is playing them side by side and that again goes back to that important element of testing clubs and go back to the club before the course before I finish what I did say out there and that was a second part of the test by the way it really did do exactly that out on the test the launch conditions were totally different a lot flatter ball flight on the 790 and again arguably playing down in links conditions that lower ball flight some people might get more benefit from that might prefer that ball flight but for me I really like this P770 in terms of what it did in terms of ball flight surprised in terms of the way that the ball launched high but kept moving forward and then coming down every ball I hit they were pretty much said when they were both hit purely enough the difference in terms of yardage carry was insignificant so the yardage gain of the stronger lofted P790 meant nothing to me I didn't feel as though that was any game whatsoever that I was looking for but that ball flight from the 770 was oddly enough again I preferred the smaller profile I didn't find it any more difficult to hit didn't feel it find it any more difficult to to get airborne in terms of CG I had a look even checked in terms of the offset they said there's less offset on the P770 there's one millimeter at the 5 iron so it's again negligible but for me all around that package again I always say this is where the disclaimer comes in these are all preferences for me and me only so I look I preferred the way the 770 looked more compact didn't fear so I lost anything from it in that smaller profile in fact like I said I preferred it sat behind the ball the way the ball performed in terms of that launch was massive and not losing out anything in terms of yardage so to a 5 iron 190 yards bang on a button for me really good number then you're looking at our next question will be in the future videos is what would you do next would you go to the 4 iron or is that as long as you need to go now perhaps in your 5 iron in the bag and then you start stepping into maybe hybrids maybe seven words those kind of things to make this game a little bit easier but that's another video for another date that's me done like I said the key message is again go out and test the clubs and if you can get all of I know you can't always play the 5 I all the longer irons when you're doing a testing and a custom thick as it's always seven I but these there is the option to go to demo days and you'll get our more accessible range to try and I think that's a really important thing to do Friday afternoon time for the weekend bit of a chill and I'll see you back on Monday
