The forgiveness is not the issue. I love everything about the 790’s, except I get those fliers every once in a while that come out screaming off the face. Actually happened to me yesterday during what ended up being my lowest round ever at my home course and caused me to air mail a green leading to a bogey. I don’t believe it is a heel strike issue FWIW. I guess the solution may be to get some 770’s and get serious about the stack system lol.

In winter of 2022 I got fitted for a set of TaylorMade P790's in Oban CT-100 S shafts at Club Champion. I was playing TaylorMade 2019 M2 irons prior to that and after I got the irons in I noticed I had lost about a club length in distance. TrackMan during the fitting said I was gaining 5yds distance, but in real world scenarios I was consistently 1 club length shorter. I went back to CC and they adjusted lofts of the P790's to match the lofts of the M2 irons, then verified spin numbers were still ok. This corrected the issue and have loved the irons ever since. At the time of the fitting I was probably a 12-13hcp and am now in low 7's trending downward (last round was 3.1 differential). While I do like the 790's, I feel like every now and then I catch one that comes hot off the face and can hurt me at times with consistency in distance. I have read that this is a known problem with those irons. I am looking to switch more towards something like the P770's, P7CB, or maybe Titleist T-150's. My concern is that I will end up losing considerable distance when doing this because the lofts will be so different from what I am currently gaming. Any thoughts on how I should approach this?
