Taylormade’s NEW 2023 P7 Series Irons Are Here

With only 3 weeks until Christmas, the idea of new golf club launches are usually put on hold until the New Year. However, this year we’ve been treated early! Introducing the NEW P7 Series irons from Taylormade! 

Including the upgraded P770, P7MB and P7MC. All three irons are now available for a FREE custom fitting before Christmas, with the release to store in January. 

Let’s learn about the new irons below.

Let’s begin with the anticipated P770 iron. The former model was designed to pack more ball speed and forgiveness in a slimmer, more attractive looking iron than the P790. 

This years model has been improved further to increase launch with the longer irons. 

With a switch in centre of gravity placement for long and short irons we will now see the longer irons launch a lot easier. 

2023 P770

FORGED HOLLOW BODY CONSTRUCTION

The forged hollow body construction gives golfers the best of both worlds; beauty
and performance. A soft 8620 carbon steel body is paired with an incredibly thin

forged 4140 steel face and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ for a design that is fast,

flexible and forgiving even in a compact head shape.

 

FLTD CG

FLTD CG strategically positions the centre of gravity (CG) the lowest in the long irons and progressively shifts higher throughout the set. Using up to 46g of tungsten, FLTD CG is designed to provide players with improved launch and playability in long irons and increase spin in the scoring irons.

SPEEDFOAM AIR

All new SpeedFoam Air is 69% less dense than its predecessor, creating mass savings that is redistributed to improve performance. SpeedFoam Air dampens vibrations for exquisite sound and feel while delivering a fast, flexible face.

TOUR-INSPIRED SHAPING

Featuring elegant refinements, including less offset in the long irons, the new P•770
is designed to fit the eye of a more discerning player with visual cues including a thin
topline, less offset, and shorter blade length when compared to the P•790.

THRU-SLOT SPEED POCKET

The Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ provides increased face flexibility while preserving ball speed and distance on low face strikes.

2023 P7MB

TOUR-INSPIRED SHAPING

Direct input from Tour inspired the new shape of P7MB, crafted for ultimate workability. The new design uses a shorter blade length, narrower sole width, and progressive offset design.

FACETED MUSCLE BACK GEOMETRY

A seamless blend of traditional muscle back iron performance with a contemporary look and design.

The updated back bar now uses symmetrical geometry to create a timeless look both in the playing position and in the bag.

COMPACT GRAIN FORGING

1025 carbon steel is 5X forged using a 2,000-ton press engineered to produce a tighter, more compact grain structure with fewer defects. It is designed to provide the most solid, consistent feel possible.

MACHINED FACE & GROOVES

Precision is paramount. Machining the face ensures precision and quality with our most
aggressive MX9 score line geometry for exacting shot making.

2023 P7MC

With precision playability and a hint of forgiveness, P·7MC caters to the game’s best ball strikers. These irons will celebrate all the work you’ve put in to get to this point and be the perfect tool for the continued grind.

FORGING TOWARDS PERFECTION

TaylorMade’s Compact Grain Forging™ process uses 2,000 tons of pressure, more than double the industry standard.

The additional force gives us precision control at a micro level and produces a tighter grain structure, creating the best possible feel.

INSPIRED BY TOUR

The tour-inspired P·7MC™ fits the eye of discerning players. With minimal offset and perimeter weighting, this classically shaped iron delivers the ultimate in control and precision with a hint of forgiveness.

REFINED CRAFTSMANSHIP

Compact Grain Forging delivers a refined composition inside and out. The sophisticated craftsmanship comes to life with a satin finish and forged “Metal-T” within the cavity back, creating the unmistakable aesthetic of a premium TaylorMade iron.

The range of irons are now available in all of our fitting studios at AFGolfStore. We are located in Cambridge, Peterborough and Milton Keynes. 

They will be available in stores for sale from January 20th, but you can be fitted from TODAY! 

From January our build centre will also be able to build them in house to give you the complete AFGolfStore fit to build experience.

Welcome To Peterborough’s Biggest Golf Store

Welcome to Peterborough’s biggest golf store, located in Yaxley near some of Peterborough’s finest courses, such as Peterborough Milton Golf Club or Elton Furze Golf Club. We offer everything a golfer could need with the biggest names in golf clubs, clothing, shoes and accessories.

However, what we have fast become renowned for is our custom fit to build service. A unique service that see’s the entire process of your new golf clubs completed in store. 

THE STORE

Located in the Eagle Business Park in Yaxley, our 1200 sqf store is fully equipped with a large clothing area with some of golfs leading brands including, J.Lindeberg, Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, Ping, FootJoy, Skechers, RLX and Ralph Lauren.

We also have fully stocked club stands from the major 6 brands on tour including, Titleist, Taylormade, Callaway, Ping, Cobra and Mizuno. Most Importantly though, we have a superb team of club fitters, coaches and builders who are on hand to give you a great golfing experience. 

From helping you find the perfect item of clothing for the course or a lesson to get your game in shape, our team are ready to help you.

From left to right we have store manager, coach and club fitter, Jason Boast. Adam Lewarne, coach and club fitter along with the build tea, Lewis Daff and Jack Yetton from the AFGolf Build Centre. 

CUSTOM FITTING

One of the areas we’ve become most recognised in Peterborough for is our custom fitting experience. 

A FREE 60 or 90 minute session that allows us to understand your specification, recommend and customise new clubs to your game. The process includes hitting golf balls into an indoor swing studio simulator, operated with a Trackman radar. Once hit, the radar will immediately show data surrounding the balls performance and certain club characteristics.

With this data our expert fitting team can understand what actions to take to customise new clubs to suit your game. This can include the head model of which each brand offer 3-4 models, all offering different factors such as forgiveness and stability. It could also include changing the shaft, of which we have hundreds to enable us to find the right specifications for you. We will also adjust the lie and length of a club to encourage better turf interaction and improved results. 

To ensure each and every customer is recommended clubs that best suit them, we offer over 10,000 head, shaft and grip combinations! Fortunately our team can narrow this down quickly!

As well as the brands of head we have a fantastic range of shafts from stock options to premium, inlcuding LA Golf, Graphite Design, Fujikura and many more.

Peterborough Club Fitting

Where many of our competitors charge for this service, we choose not too for one simple reason! 

IF YOU BUY WRONG, YOU’LL BUY TWICE!

Most golfers find it too easy to buy clubs straight off the shelf, however, all clubs off the shelf are standard specifications, and we are well aware no two golfers are the same. Customised clubs are going to give you performance gains, in fact, in 2022 our Trackman data shows a collective average of 21 yards gained with a custom fitted driver over their old clubs in our Peterborough studio.

So, we don’t want to charge and restrict any golfer from finding out their true specifications.

THE BUILD CENTRE

Something we are incredibly proud of at AFGolfStore is our build centre. Located at our Peterborough store, our build service gives you the option to have your clubs built by us.

Although this service is about quality and care as well as peace of mind by ensuring the clubs you order are the exact same as the spec you were fitted for in our studio, we love giving our customers the option to guarantee their new clubs are delivered on time. 

Our builders are in constant communication with your fitter to ensure everything meets your expectations. We want to give you an experience unlike anything you’ve had before, that’s why our builders are trained and tested by the lead manufacturers to ensure our build tolerance is to standard.

HOW IT WORKS 

Once you’ve had a custom fitting, you will be given the option (should you choose to purchase) to have your clubs built in store. Our build team will:

Most importantly you will be kept up to speed with your clubs development.

We also offer this service to customers not requiring a custom fitting , who are aware of the clubs they need. Our RetroFit service also allows you to have your current set re-fitted with any adjustments being made in the build centre, including new shafts, paint upgrades and more. 

VISIT US

So if you’re looking for a golfing experience where you can feel like the pro’s, then head to Yaxley, where we will happily welcome you to Peterborough’s biggest golf store, fitting and build centre!

AFGolfStore Proud To Support The MK Dons SET

AFGolfStore have now been in Milton Keynes just over 6 weeks and the team have loved getting to know local golfers and becoming a part of the community. It is important to us to build trust and help local golfers improve their golfing game, after all, golf is our shared passion! So, helping the community in anyway is always a goal of ours and this week we have been proud to support the MK Dons SET.

What Is MK Dons SET?

“MK Dons Sport and Education Trust (SET) is an independent charity aligned to Milton Keynes Dons using the brand of the club as one of its tools of engagement to improve the lives and experiences of its local community”. ~ MK DONS SET.

As sports people ourselves, in the world of golf we are always striving to offer fantastic experiences and opportunities for every person to enjoy. So we feel this charity is a great cause and one AFGolfStore are proud to have supported.

Supporting The Trust

Our journey to supporting the Trust started in January when we found out we would officially be moving to Milton Keynes. We were keen to build exposure in the area through supporting the MK Dons and on Tuesday 5th April, we did just that by sponsoring the match ball for the League one tie between the Dons and Crewe. A fantastic opportunity for our new store to meet new faces and build relationships within the community. A well deserved win by the Dons to see their promotion hopes continue was a huge bonus to go along with the evening.

Upon offering to sponsor a game, we were made aware of the MK Dons Golf Day in support of the SET. A fantastic day run by former Dons player, Dean Bowditch, which saw over 20 teams of golfers compete at Three Locks Golf Club. AFGolfStore supported the day with prizes for nearest the pin, longest drive and auction prizes to help raise funds. We also had Chris Hattersley (Marketing Manager & Coach – AFGolfStore) and Elliott Appleby (MK Store Coach & Fitter) offering their services in a beat the pro event on the 9th hole. A charitable donation gave the player the chance to win some prizes by getting closer that their opposing professional.

AFGolfStore are delighted to have raised over £400 in their efforts to support the day, funds we are sure will help the MK Dons SET. On top of this we are happy to now have met a lot of new faces and begun our quest to become a part of the MK community, who have welcomed us so warmly to the area. Thank you.

What’s Next

We will continue to do our part in the future with the aim to raise more funds In any way we can including team fun runs etc. In the meantime however, we will be happy to welcome you to our store, Dons fans or not, and support you with your golf for the coming season, whether it be retail, FREE custom fitting, golf lessons or just some advice!
