Quick M2 observation

Recommended Posts

I have noticed that the original (2016) model seems to be the top selling model

On all the used sites they can’t stay in stock but there is usually plenty of 2017 versions.

 

Do you guys feel the 2016 M2 will stay the better performer/seller

Fairway - TaylorMade RBZ 3 wood - 14.5°
Hybrid - TaylorMade RBZ 5 wood - 19°
Irons - PING i15 - 4 - PW / UW
Wedges - Taylormade MG2 54° / Hi Toe 58°

IMO it’s because it’s better priced than 2017

Yes but on 3balls the price difference is maybe $30 doesn’t seem a lot to sacrifice peorformance is the 2017 is better

I personally have a 2016 version because they're older and therefore cheaper.

I think in a general case, they're both popular products and since the 2016 model has been on sale for longer and for cheaper, the chances of it having lower stock is much more likely. So I can see why there's less stock now a days.

Yes. On Sunday. M4 was all over. Used same shaft too. M3 was about as good as 16 m2. Longest drive came with m3.

 

I haven't hit the M4 yet, but I'm testing out the M3. It's going to take a lot to replace the 16 M2. I've only had 1 round with the M3 and it does seem to be more consistent in terms of yardage on the drives.

 

I wasn't a fan of the 2017 versions because of the draw biased as mentioned above.

It seemed the m3 had a little bit to offer, somewhere between 5 and 10 yards. But in the limited (15 balls) sample I did manage to hit one a bit high toe. I'm a fader and that high toe miss went right. That shot concerns me. So I bought a backup m2.

 

I will say that I did like the feel of the m3/4 more than the 16 m2. The m3/4 have a more solid feel to them. Almost callaway epic like hardness to the face.

2016M2 has earned a bit of a cult status on here as one of the best drivers TM has ever put out.

 

The '16 does spin a bit less than the '17, so it can be longer for those who spin the ball too much.

Anyone demo the M4 and think their current M2 is better?

 

Not extensive time with the M4 but I have hit it in the Sim a bit and I do prefer the '16 M2. Feel is better and the M4 seems to be just as erratic maybe more, for a driver that claims to help in that area. Personally I like the white/carbon look better than the silver, too.
