 You know, I think the new tight list T series of irons is quite possibly the best range on the market right now. I also think the T200 is possibly the standout performer within that lineup. I also happen to think that the tailor made P790 2023 version is very much going to be the best iron within tailor made lineup moving forward. Now before we only further, I should maybe define what I consider best and I think best in terms of the most playable irons in both of those ranges for the majority of golfers and I think that appeal could be to the masses. So first of all, what is that major appeal and what we're going to find out in today's video. Well, first of all, in today's video we're going to put them both very much in our heads ahead and Trackman will tell us what they do differently in terms of overall performance and that for me will be really interesting. But why do I find these two so much in terms of a standout product in both tailor made and tight list lineup? Well, first of all, visually they are hugely appealing. I think if you walk into any retailer, Pro Shop, these things are going to catch your eye both sets of irons that is and they're both very different. One has got very much a high shiny chrome magpie like finish to it. The other has softened down a little bit and it's gone into that sort of satin look, brush satin, very different but very, very nice and I think could appeal to many, many golfers. Then you've got that profile element and profile, I mean size. They sit in a category where T200 could almost be shoved further towards the better players market in many ways because I think it's a little bit more compact on the eye. The P790's got a little bit more meat to it but both of them at address seem to be the kind of at a level where they're pretty much confident, inspiring and suggest that many golfers can handle them. But then in terms of their individual reviews, well I was pretty much blown away by what both sets of irons did in my initial review. I've also had both on course since then and I've got a better sort of understanding of what each iron does. The question is how do they differ and how might one appeal to another. Terrible shot hand. Appeal what are better than the other and that's the thing for me. These are both almost in the same price category. They're just so, so similar in many ways. Why would you buy one over the other? That's better. They're so crisp, that's the T200 I've been hitting. Looks good, nice width of sole, nice heel to toe length, just everything about it takes a box from me. It's another hollow bodied iron again, very much in there where P790 kicked things off back in 2017. Everybody now has that type of iron within their range. That tight list of packages is up really well, like I said from a visual perspective. I think one thing they've done really well is enhanced sound and feel which has been a big issue with these kind of clubs over the years. And that's been an issue for me with P790s until the 2023 model that is where they made massive improvements in that category. Now when I first looked down at this, like I said to me, this has got a little bit more bulk on it, that by the way is a much better shot. There's a little bit more bulk on the P790s and that is going to be something that will sway you one way or the other. This head-to-head was an interesting one because when you look at the T200 I kind of look at what is its sort of direct equivalent and I'll be honest with you, initially I was going to put it up against the P770 which is a smaller, more compact version of this P790 but when I sat them both together it really does sit in very much a niche market of its own, the T200 and it's quite, it's a little bit bigger than the P770 but a little bit smaller than the P790 and for me that could be a real positive because like I said it's going to appeal to golfers that want a little bit more of a compact size leaning towards the P770 but then want the forgiveness and help that they're going to see out this P790 and that's where I think potentially tight list I've got a real winning formula so I must admit with a camera on I've hit the P790s absolutely superb and I've got to admit I'm super impressed with what they've done this year and that big deal for me was one enhancing the sound and feel massively I love the look it's only subtle change but I think I'd probably be if I was walking purely on shelf appeal I'd be picking up the P790 from me from a visual perspective but then it was the way each club has been individually designed in terms of internally to make sure that you get maximum performance in terms of what you're looking for down the bottom end of the club in terms of the shorter clubs versus what you're looking for in the long end and the difference in the weight positioning a lot of different things internally mate meant each iron was individually built and designed to optimize that performance will you like that or not when we did the numbers it certainly was very much proved in theory when we looked at the 2017 version that was the initial P790 versus that of 2023 and I like the changes that they've made the question I've got for you is looking at them both on screen now for getting anything else maybe about brand loyalty and all them other things where would you be drawn right now which irons are you looking to try and which you considering putting in to the bag right now right I think it's time I looked at that dryball data which I collected earlier and see how these two are split today's video is brought to you in partnership with hot golf the online golf mega store bringing you the hottest deals in golf and of course the clubs featured in today's video find the link to the hot golf website in the description below and check out some incredible giveaways and offers right okay so if you are watching the channel of lay you'll notice the love head to head comparisons going on right now that's very much because I think everybody's released their clubs for this year so we're trying to pitch up as many similar products as we can and try and identify through data at least what the differences are a lot of people requested T 200 versus P 790 like I said I wasn't sure it's quite a head-to-head in terms of the same sort of product category but T 200 like I said it's quite unique in its profile not too sure where it would have sat but anyway we're going to get into the data one thing I want to talk about just before we get into the data is I had different shafts in these simply because my tight list came with an amt shaft it's black it's a stiff flex and we've got an NS pro shaft stiff flex in the tailor-made both the same weight however they are different shafts and it's really interesting because let's get those numbers up on screen now we've got some the averages as ever it's got with a carry distance first of all 148.3 147.8 incredible let's then jump forward to ball speed 107.8 107.3 incredibly close the spin rate 5 3 versus 5 5 worth noting at this point my spin is normally low it's certainly low with this style of iron I am making swing changes that has made it an impact in sort of raising my spin number a little bit but I still can't argue with the fact that these are put performing incredibly well in terms of generating that kind of spin with this type of iron in hand then we've got a launcher angle of 20.5 versus 20.3 and a peak height of 88 versus 86 I mean it's one of them that's just ridiculously close the one thing I just want to mention is that throws a real sort of strange one but throat for me identifies the issues where people talk about shafts now we generated a clubhead speed of four mile an hour almost faster with the T200 than we did with that the P790 the weight of shaft was the same the flex was the same that's really confusing as to why we would generate that much of a difference and interestingly enough I hit in terms of data the P790 after the T200 so if anything more warmed up should have been swinging a little bit faster so that I think is very much an anomaly within that data however what we should point it out the bigger fact is this these two irons perform incredibly well in terms of what dry ball data tells us because that kind of clubhead speed versus the ball speed versus carry distance spin number launch angle land angle we never spoke about they're just that's just everything you would want from a seven iron I cannot believe what they do now I think these like I said at the beginning of the video two superb sets of irons that as you think appeal to a lot of golfers will do everything that you would ask for and we get to a point with irons now where I think like they're optimal numbers I don't really see what can happen the negative towards P790s and T200s in this case that type of iron was the likes of inconsistencies off the club face flyers things like that I'll put the data up at the very end in terms of the cross-section of numbers and the consistency level is incredible in terms of carry distance in terms of how it maintained a very consistent number and the spin number all the parameters are very very consistent so even those things have been pushed to one side now look that's in my hands that's what they did I just think if you're looking for a set of irons right now and if you've got that kind of budget because there's no doubt these are top end in terms of the price category then these have got to be something you try and don't be put off by them by the category they've been put into I think players distance iron sort of like you know I don't know I think I think they're better than that category to be quite honest with you and certainly worth giving a go right as ever I hope it was useful in some way and we learned something from it and pointed you or helped you in some way making your decision but reality is you go out there you're trying yourself and see what kind of numbers you get from each of these clubs right as ever thanks for watching I'll see you soon
