The only real knock on the M1 driver is that it’s not as forgiving as some of its competitors, and its not nearly as forgiving as the TaylorMade M2, which was released several months after the M1. It offers a robust platform for fitters, and plenty of movable parts for DIYers and those of us who like to tinker. Both the 440 cc and 460 cc heads are loft-adjustable (+/-2°) and come with the Fujikura Pro 56 XLR8, Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Dual Core TiNi 60 and Project X Hzrdus Yellow 65 shafts, plus 30 others at no added cost.Golfers who bought TaylorMade’s M1 driver before M2 may have experienced a bit of buyers remorse.ĭon’t misunderstand our point. The heel-toe track has a 15-gram plug to promote a draw or fade. According to TaylorMade, that’s 300 rpm more spin and 1° more loft when the weight is positioned all the way back compared to the extreme forward position. The T-shaped track along the sole is 20 percent longer and has a heavier (12 gram) sliding weight, letting CG position shift 64 percent more front to back. The M1 also has a lower CG and more moveable-weight adjustability.
The improved weight distribution and head geometry combine to generate higher inertia, leading to greater consistency on shots struck high or low on the face. The M1 driver has a thinner carbon crown than the current version, and a head with 43 percent more carbon (in the crown, toe and sole), allowing additional mass to be used how the R&D team chooses.
To get things started, they’ve unveiled two new flagship drivers - the M1 and M2 - plus complementary fairway woods, hybrids, and irons at an official launch party for golf media at the Hilton West Palm Beach hotel. And, the company’s poised to create more buzz in 2017. TaylorMade’s innovative club lineup was a big hit with consumers and Tour pros alike in 2016.
