⛳️ TaylorMade P770 Mini Review
Players Iron + Game Improvement
Hey fellow golfer, welcome to the Friday edition of the Red Birdie Golf newsletter, here’s what we got for you today:
FRIDAY GOLF TIP
Mitigate Trouble
Every golfer hits a bad shot and ends up in some sort of trouble.
Whether you are behind a tree, have a tight window, or have a horrible lie, planning and strategy can keep you out of a much worse situation.
Many golfers want to fix their problem shot by hitting an incredible or miraculous followup.
That only tends to get golfers, and especially amateurs, in more trouble.
Instead of going at the flag from behind two trees, in the rough, with a branch in your backswing…punch it out to the fairway and live to play another shot.
COURSE OF THE WEEK
Biltmore Hotel Spa and Golf (Miami)
As a winter storm tears through much of the country, Miami is still nice and warm…perfect golf weather.
Why not spend the weekend at one of the best golf courses in the city that is connected to a spa and hotel as well.
The golf course is a par-71, Donald Ross design with plenty of doglegs and a 17th green that is almost surrounded by water.
It is a beautiful hotel, a beautiful course and an even more beautiful environment to play.
NEW GEAR MINI REVIEW
The P770 looks, feels, and produces like a top level players club, but it also has some of the forgiveness features that people equate with a game improvement iron.
The speedfoam is injected to the face so that you get the benefits of distance from the hollow construction and the feel of a solid club.
You will also find tungsten weighting throughout the set so that the clubs are a little easier to hit, have a higher MOI, and give you a higher launch.
These irons also have a progressive variable thickness pattern so that the most common mishits on each iron are covered and given more distance and accuracy.
You almost get a players distance iron look and feel with the distance accuracy of a game improvement iron.
Pros
The compact shape and nice lines make them one of the best looking players irons out there.
Provide great distance and feel with the speedfoam injection and strong thin clubface.
The tungsten weighting helps to provide a high launch and makes these irons effortless to hit.
You get really good distance and accuracy on mishits.
Cons
They lack the spin to make them overly workable and they do not hold greens as well as some of the other irons.
The features are not a traditional “players irons” features which can throw some lower handicap golfers off.
Until Monday!
