Comparison
Titleist T250 vs TaylorMade P·790
Two players distance irons with almost the same 7-iron loft. The T250 is sold by the iron from a 2-iron to a W; the P·790 comes in set makeups and has a foam-filled head behind a forged face.
Titleist calls the T250 “The Redefined Player’s Distance Iron.”

What each maker claims
Attributed statements. Each maker is describing its own product, not the other one.
Titleist T250
Forgiveness. Titleist positions the T250 for players who want speed, stability and consistency “in a more forgiving shape.”
TaylorMade P·790 (2025)
Distance. TaylorMade says the stronger face material “unlocks more distance while simultaneously increasing the sweet spot size by up to 24%.”
The short answer
On loft and category these two are close: both makers call them players distance irons, and the 7-irons are half a degree apart. Choose the T250 if you want to build your own set, including a 2- or 3-iron. Choose the P·790 if a standard 4–PW or 5–PW plus AW set suits you and you want TaylorMade’s foam-filled construction.
What actually differs
Loft. Titleist lists the T250 7-iron at 30.5°. TaylorMade lists the 2025 P·790 7-iron at 30°. The bigger loft question is how either compares with the set you have now, since a stronger 7-iron usually flies lower and further for the same swing. Game-improvement or players irons? explains how lofts vary between sets.
What you can buy. Titleist sells T250 irons one at a time, from a 2-iron to a W, and asks for a continuous set (such as 4-P or 5-9) or a single club. TaylorMade sells the P·790 as 4–PW or as 5–PW plus an AW, and its spec table runs from the 4-iron to the AW. Only the T250 is listed with 2- and 3-irons. If you would rather carry hybrids at the top of the bag, Hybrid or long iron? covers that choice.
Construction. Titleist describes a face and body of high-strength steel, a forged L-Face with a V-Taper design, and split high-density tungsten placed for stability and trajectory control. TaylorMade describes an all-new forged 4340M face and SpeedFoam Air inside the head. TaylorMade says the stronger face material “unlocks more distance while simultaneously increasing the sweet spot size by up to 24%.” Titleist positions the T250 for players who want speed, stability and consistency “in a more forgiving shape.”
Shafts. Titleist lists six shafts for the T250: four True Temper AMT models and two MCA MMT AMC models. TaylorMade’s selector offers KBS Tour Lite steel and Mitsubishi MMT graphite, and its shaft details also mention the Nippon Modus Tour 105 Luxury Black.
Price. Titleist prices the T250 by the iron rather than as a set, so the list-price row has no set price for it. TaylorMade lists the P·790 at $1,399.99 without saying which set makeup that covers. Retailer set prices differ in which clubs they include, so confirm the set before you compare totals.
Who each one suits
- The T250 suits a golfer who wants long irons down to a 2-iron, wants to start or stop the set at an unusual club, or wants a wider list of shafts to try.
- The P·790 suits a golfer happy with a standard set from the 4- or 5-iron and an AW to fill the gap below the pitching wedge.
The trade-off
The T250 gives you more control over which clubs you buy, and you pay for each one. The P·790 offers fewer configurations but includes an AW in the 5–PW set. With 7-iron lofts half a degree apart, the choice comes down to set makeup, construction and how each one feels when you hit it with the shaft you would actually play.
