Question(s) about M3 vs M4


Pitchswag

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I hope you can help me with these questions.

  • Is it just me, or is the M3 Fairway launching higher than the M4? Just demo'ed a M4 with a normal stiff flex shaft, and it was launching lower than the M3 with a Tensei White 70X shaft. Maybe the weight track under the head is adding more wight in the back for higher launch?

Anyone?

I've never found the adjustable version of a TM wood to launch higher than the non adjustable version. M1 always launched lower than M2 when I hit them. I've not hit M3 or M4 but I'd be surprised - especially with the M3 you hit having a Tensei White 70X in it which is a low launch shaft.

 

Possibly flipping due to the butt-soft feel of the Tensei White? That could cause increase in launch angle.

 

As for your loft sleeve question, I'm no expert but I believe each notch is somewhere in the .5-.75* of loft range. so one click down on M3 fairway should land you in the 14.25-14.5* range.

 

Also alters lie and face angle slightly.

Thanks Bomber_11

 

Don't know why I feel the M4 was launching lower for me, but I guess I have to hit the M3 more and get used to the club.

 

I guess you are right about the for the loft adjusting with the hosel. According to their tuning manual, they are saying "Each of the 12 sleeve movements increases or decreases loft 0.5 - 0.75°"

 

It just confused me, that it wasn't an exact loft number, but between 0.5 - 0.75 but I guess it's pretty impossible to do that.

I agree with this. Are you sure you weren’t trying the m4 tour?

No I am absolute sure about it was the M4 normal one. Also today I tried an M4 with a regular shaft (!!!!) and it was easier for me to launch that one lower than the M3 with Tensei White X Flex. Really really weird!

 

But I guess I have to try and tinker more around with the M3.

I think you misunderstand.

 

The regular shaft in an M4 was easier for me to launch lower than the M3 with a Tensei White X? I find that pretty strange.

 

Also for the softer shaft all better players should hit a big hook with that flex. Especially with SS over 110 mph.
