The Taylormade P7MC’s have more traditional lofts, and they aren’t quite as forgiving as the P770’s. However, they will give you a ‘buttery soft’ feel when you strike the ball nicely, and you should find it significantly easier to shape your ball flight.
On the other hand, the P770’s have more game improvement technology, sharing more in common with its older sibling, the P790’s. You could call the P770’s a variation of the P790’s, with a more compact head shape and less aggressive lofts. You can read more about the P770’s vs P790’s here.
Now that you have a basic understanding of each set of irons, let’s dive into the details.

Key Point 1: The lofts of the Taylormade P770’s are a touch stronger than the lofts of the Taylormade P7MC’s. In the lower irons, it’s only half a degree, but from 6 iron down, the P770’s are a full degree stronger. In other words, the P7MC’s are closer to traditional lofts, whereas the P770’s are closer to modern, player-distance lofts.
Key Point 2: There is no gap wedge in the P7MC set. You will need to commit to a full set of Taylormade wedges if you choose the P7MC’s.
