TaylorMade is finally bringing the P790 UDI to retail

Published

on

We’ve spotted the TaylorMade P790 UDI at the 2018 PGA Show, and also in the bags of the likes of Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, and Jason Day. Today, TaylorMade announced you’ll be able to have the P790 UDI in your bag as well: it’s coming to retail.

The P790 has been popular with golfers looking for a distance-boosting forged iron. TaylorMade says the clubs have been the most successful players-distance irons in company history.

The P790 UDI is made from an 8620 carbon steel body combined with high-strength forged 4140 carbon steel with a wrapped-face construction in a hollow body design. The P790 UDI’s hollow body is filled with TaylorMade’s SpeedFoam, which both boosts ball speed and enhances sound and feel.

TaylorMade brings re-engineered Inverted Cone Technology optimized for the slightly smaller face area to the UDI, as well as internal metal-injection-molded (MIM) tungsten weighting for precise CG placement and higher moment of inertia (MOI).

Additional specifications:

  • Loft: 17°
  • Lie: 60°
  • Offset: 3.2mm
  • Length: 40” (steel 39.25”)
  • Swingweight: D2

The P790 UDI is available at retail starting tomorrow, 3/30, for $219 USD. Project X’s HZRDUS Black shaft (85g) and a Golf Pride TV 360 grip are standard. The club will also be available for custom build with a range of steel and graphite options.

    I have heard from people that this thing is really good and the ones that have hit it love it. I also get a laugh out of the ones that are negative and really have no clue.

    Just the 17-degree? I know it’s a small market, can’t expect too many options. But I would think most amateurs would be looking at something in the 19-20 degree range.

      Looks like you can get it bent 2 degrees weak as well as change the lie angle.

    I got the 3 iron p790 custom ordered and bent.to 18°, and it was a LOT cheaper. Still very forgiving and a stalwart in my bag now!

      That’s what I did too, and then had the rest of the irons gapped in 4 degree increments.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball

Published

on

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.

“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.

“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.

“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”

Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.

It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
