  • TaylorMade's 2025 iron lineup ranges from game-improvement irons to precision blades for skilled players.
  • The series utilizes various technologies like hollow-body construction, forged faces, and tungsten weighting to optimize performance.
  • Models like the Qi and Qi HL prioritize distance and forgiveness, while the P·7CB and P·7TW focus on precision and workability.
  • The P Series offers better-player distance irons, combining player-preferred aesthetics with distance-enhancing features.

TaylorMade’s 2025 iron lineup covers the spectrum from highly forgiving, distance-oriented clubs to the exacting blades played by some of the world’s best. The company’s design philosophy blends modern materials and manufacturing with performance profiles tuned to specific player types. Across the range, recurring technologies such as forged face construction, progressive center-of-gravity placement, and carefully engineered sole geometries reflect a consistent emphasis on matching each iron’s build to its intended role in the set.

For golfers seeking help with distance and accuracy, the Qi and Qi HL irons take a game-improvement approach, using hollow-body heads, face-thickness optimization, and vibration-dampening technologies to make long irons easier to launch and short irons easier to control. At the other end of the spectrum, the P·7CB and P·7TW deliver the ultimate in precision, feel, and workability, relying on traditional muscleback shaping, compact head sizes, and forged carbon steel for accomplished ballstrikers who value control above all else.

Between those extremes lies the P Series’ better-player distance segment, where hollow-body designs such as the P·770 and P·790 combine the look and feel of a player’s iron with distance-enhancing features like SpeedFoam Air, L-shaped forged faces, and progressive tungsten weighting. The P·7CB fills a niche between a compact cavity-back and a hollow-body design, offering a forged, control-oriented head with subtle forgiveness features and traditional lofts that make blending sets seamless.

While each model has its own identity, the best way to determine which belongs in your bag is to hit them side-by-side. Differences in head size, blade length, sole width, and center-of-gravity location can make a significant impact on how an iron launches, spins, and feels for you. TaylorMade has engineered this lineup to give fitters and golfers the flexibility to build a set that complements a player’s swing, skill level, and performance goals — something best confirmed through a professional fitting and on-course testing.

Qi, Qi HL

TaylorMade Qi irons (David Dusek/Golfweek)

Price: $999.99 with KBS Max 85 steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline 360 grips; $1,099 with Fujikura Ventus Blue TR graphite shafts

Specs: Hollow-body heads with multi-material Capback badge, Echo Dampening Bridge, and variable-thickness face; HL model features lighter components and 2 degrees weaker lofts

Who they’re for: Golfers with a handicap between 10 and 25 who want more consistency from shot to shot and enhanced ball-speed protection on mis-hits

What you should know: TaylorMade redesigned the face structure in each Qi iron to reduce a fade bias in the long irons and improve launch conditions across the set. An internal dampening system and the Capback design enhance sound and feel, while a broad sole and thicker topline boost forgiveness. The HL version uses lighter shafts and higher lofts to help moderate-swing-speed players launch the ball higher with more carry. Read the full review ...

P·790

TaylorMade's P·790 irons for 2025.

Price: $1,399.99 (4-PW) with KBS Tour Lite shafts and Golf Pride Z-Grips; $1,499.99 with Mitsubishi Diamana MMT graphite shafts

Specs: Hollow-body construction with forged 4340M stainless steel L-shaped face, Speed Pocket in 4-7 irons, internal tungsten weights (up to 40 grams) and polymer.

Who it’s for: Golfers who want a better-player’s distance iron or game-improvement club that offers more distance and forgiveness with enhanced feel.

What you should know: The fifth generation of P·790 uses a face material 20 percent stronger than before, allowing for thinner hitting areas, more flex and a 24 percent larger sweet spot. Tungsten weighting and a progressive center of gravity promote higher launch in the long irons and lower, more-controlled flight in mid-irons. SpeedFoam Air and internal stiffening bars fine-tune sound and feel, while a thinner topline, refined sole curvature, and beveled leading edge improve turf interaction and consistency.

P·770

Price: $1,399.99 (seven clubs) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Mid 115 steel shafts and Golf Pride Z grips

Specs: Hollow-bodied design with forged stainless steel body, forged 4041 stainless steel L-shaped face, internal tungsten weighting, Speed Pocket in 3–7 irons, and SpeedFoam Air

Who it’s for: Low-handicap golfers seeking a compact head shape with more ball speed, forgiveness, and higher launch in long irons.

What you should know: The P·770 blends the looks and compact shaping preferred by better players with distance-enhancing features and stability. The refined topline, pre-worn leading edge in long irons, and thin sole promote efficient turf interaction. Progressive FLTD CG shifts weight low in long irons for higher launch and raises it in short irons for added control. Compared with the P·790, the P·770 is smaller with a shorter blade length, but more forgiving and higher launching than the solid-bodied P·7CB. Read the full review ...

P·7CB

TaylorMade P·7CB.

Price: $1,399.99 (seven clubs) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Mid 115 steel shafts and Golf Pride Z grips

Specs: Forged 1025 carbon steel with co-forged steel sole plate, metal matrix composite and tungsten weights, machined face and grooves

Who it’s for: Consistent ballstrikers and elite golfers who want the control of a compact players' iron with a touch of added forgiveness.

What you should know: Created to bridge the gap between the P·7MC and P·770, the P·7CB adds subtle forgiveness without sacrificing control or traditional shaping. Hidden sole pockets redistribute weight to center the hitting area and optimize CG, with tungsten in the toe to counterbalance the hosel. A slightly thicker topline and longer blade than the P·7MC provide a stable look, while the thin sole and minimal offset encourage precise turf interaction. Traditional lofts allow for easy blending with other TaylorMade P Series irons. Read the full review ...

P·7TW

Price: $1,999 with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips

Specs: Forged 1020 carbon steel blades with tungsten inserts and milled sole; right-hand only

Who it’s for: Golfers seeking a blade iron built to Tiger Woods’ exact specifications, prioritizing precision, feel, and workability over forgiveness or distance

What you should know: Designed in collaboration with Tiger Woods, the P·7TW irons mirror the set he put in play starting in 2019. Each club was prototyped to meet his exact demands for shape, sole geometry, and performance. Compared with TaylorMade’s P730 blades, the P·7TW has a thinner topline, slightly more bounce, and tungsten positioned directly behind the sweet spot for amplified feel. The sole is CNC-milled for consistency, and the short irons are slightly longer in blade length to alter CG placement. Narrower grooves increase spin and control. Read the full review ...
