In case you’re looking for the ultimate piece of golf gear, you’ll be happy to learn that the TaylorMade P790 UDI is now available in retail stores all across North America. What is it, you asked? Well, the short answer is that the P790 UDI is a veritable Tour stinger machine, and the 2019 version received some upgrades in the shape and form of slight tweaks; all jokes aside, if you take a look at the pictures on internet forums, you’ll see that countless Tour pros “wear” the 2019 TaylorMade P790 UDI as a badge of honor, whether we’re talking about a 2, 3 or 4-iron; regardless of one’s particular choice, the P790 UDI makes for a forgiving, workable, low spin-high launch iron that gets the job done with flying colors.

So, what’s up with the 2019 version, you asked? Just like the “regular” P790/2019, the UDI variety boasts a number of upgrades that are aimed at high speed golfers and tour staff players, and, truth be told, that’s exactly the “target audience” so to speak; in not so many words, to make a comparison with the automotive industry, the TaylorMade P790 UDI is the BMW M of golf gear. With all these in mind, let’s take a closer look at what’s new in the 2019 version: first, we must mention the iron’s higher toe and thinner top line, an interesting design feature aimed at inspiring confidence to pro golfers/better players. On top of better looks/confidence boosting design, the TaylorMade P790 UDI features the company’s PICT technology, as well as a thinner face; the thin face works in tandem with the PICT gizmo and it’s aimed at boosting playability all across the face. Since we’re talking long irons here, we must say a few words about the speed pocket technology, which provides the bottom grooves with increased stability. Overall, the TaylorMade P790 UDI 2019 is a player’s driven and slick piece of golf gear, a “fine-tuned machine” that comes with everything Pro golfers look after, including good turf interaction doubled by classic lines and out of this world playability.

If you’re wondering what the UDI particle stands for, well, that’s quite obvious if you’re a TaylorMade guy: Ultimate Driving Iron. Also, we must mention that this elite driver is built using forged 8620 carbon-steel for the body, while the welded face is made from 4140 carbon-steel. The chamber inside is filled with Speed Foam, which is TaylorMade’s take on urethane. This special foam is designed to reduce nasty vibrations at impact, while keeping the face flexible, in order to generate amazing feel and more ball speed. Inside the head, you’ll find the company’s metal-injection-molded tungsten weight system, which lowers the CoG, thus promoting higher flying shots. The face of the UDI 2019 boasts an inverted cone design, which is thinner around the perimeter and thicker in the center, a clever trick that creates a larger sweet spot and reduces the number of miss hits.

Finally, we must mention the price, which is quite alright: $229 USD, and speaking about specs/shafts, the TaylorMade P790 UDI comes with Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black (Low launch, low spin) 90 (S),105 (X) with Golf Pride Golf Pride TV 360 grips.
