re: The TaylorMade 790 irons with the MMT shafts
Posted by bopper50 on 2/24/26 at 11:21 am to STCTiger985
The Qi4D Driver has been great. I am finding a lot of fairways with it.
I have never been a TaylorMade guy much in the past .
As a guy that use to hit a hard draw, I thought the M2 driver was best for hookers.
The Qi4D has a great shape that is easy on the eyes and the gear effect wants to keep the ball in play. Plenty long too.
It's easily the best driver that TM has ever made IMO.

Awesome experience for you and your club.
I never forget standing next to the first tee at the Woodlands TPC and John Daly ripped a drive.
I have never heard a golf ball make that sound since. Not even Tiger.

re: What is your wedge makeup ?

Honestly, sometimes I think I should forget about a lob wedge. That thing causes me some grief sometimes.
Check out Dicks or Golf Galaxy.
The Maxfli Tours, X, S models are great .
They differ in compression and softness.
They are always on special.

So you are like me and using the 58 out of the bunker ?
What is your wedge makeup ?
Posted by bopper50 on 2/22/26 at 11:02 am
My 790 PW is 46.
A 790 AW is 49 degrees. Not very versatile except for full shots because of the sole.
I currently have a 54 and a 58 M5.
I have a big gap.
Would a 52, 56, 60 make more sense ?

Jim Nance is worse.
You may be the only golfer in the world that thinks that.
Years ago we played in Blaine McCallastier's University of Houston tournament.
I can honestly tell you that Nance was so generous with his time, listened to everyone and told some great stories.
He visited with every group on the course and introduced himself . Very much the gentleman.
Now, Roger Clemmons is the exact opposite.
The TaylorMade 790 irons with the MMT shafts
Posted by bopper50 on 2/22/26 at 9:51 am
These are the straightest hitting irons that I have ever owned.
For reference, I can't hit a fade shot to save my life, but I can hook it off the planet.
I typically hit a draw with everything that move 5-10 yards. over the years I have learned to account for it.
With these 790's and MMT shafts, I have to change my aim because I can't hardly draw them at all. I just hit them straight as a string.
It kind of messes with my mind a little but I am starting to trust it.
I love the look of the 790 behind the ball and they are very solid feeling.
I have never been a TaylorMade guy before, but now I am sold on the quality.

Yes, I got to feel the Lizard Skin grips on a club recently and will be making that switch away from the golf prides soon
There sure are a lot of new grip companies popping up. The Lizards pattern look a lot like Winn. But more tacky I bet.
I am a Tour Velvet guy, but I am really liking the non cord Z Grips on my TaylorMade irons and woods.

Yes, less spinny.
Basically a 6 wood.

7w loft and 3w shaft length correct??
20 degrees loft with a 4 wood length shaft.
I had one before, I hit it longer than some 5 woods.

Yesterday was 223 out on the par5.
It took one bounce forward and was on the greens fringe.
A really nice high shot.
I am 70 now and I only have 5 rounds now since my neck surgery.

I played with it for the first time yesterday. I can't say it's fool proof because I can mess up any shot at any time.
I can say it amazed me a couple of times yesterday with the ball height and the distance. I thought that I was just getting into a short chip position on a par 5 and it ended up on the fringe of the green.
Super easy to hit and the stock shaft was good.
I updated my witb.

Probably not your issue, but I couldn't make a 3 footer with the Spider ZT putter.
I don't know why that was unless the offset made me push it.
Hope you get it figured out.

I don't know how some of these courses demand such a huge green fee.
It's really unbelievable. We thought about playing the Oaks in San Antonio until they told us the green fee.
I have played several courses that required you take a forecaddy and it was a nice experience.
I remember playing Kapula Plantation twice years ago for $90.00, now I hear it's $450.00, it a great course, but not $300.00 better.

You can do a drove view of Wolf Creek on YouTube.
Awesome course with some crazy tee boxes.

I loved the 2019 TP5 Ball, then it changed.
Review -
I played the 2026 TP5 ball Saturday and it is as good as any ball on the market IMO now .
I play a yellow ball and my biggest complaint was the paint job got dirty quickly. That is not the case now with the new paint technology on the 2026 balls.
It got windy on the back nine and the ball performed very well .
As far as distance, it was as good as any other premium ball. I hit what I thought was a fat 9 iron and I was surprised that it carried to the pin.
A very good feeling ball off the irons and the putter.
The pricing is ridiculous just like other premium balls. For that reason only, I will probably stick with the TM Tour Respone ball for every day rounds.
