Anyone playing the M1 with the matrix offerings? Thoughts? Opinions?

[drbonesvt]

Chart shows it ranges from 4 opened to 4 closed.

 

That is correct, in the past releases they have been bias open , square , Like Ttileist , almost always measure .5* open. Their manuf tolerance is pretty tight.

2 rounds with the new M1 430. Compared to my old Cally RFX- much much less forgiving. Miss hits are dead in the water. Hen I was fitted, fitter had weight all the way forward and in the toe (I play a draw). I've adjusted the weights while keeping the loft std (10.5) and no luck yet. Going to try moving the weight all the way back and maybe loft down (old Cally was 9.5).

 

Club is solid when hit right but these low hooks are killing me.

What's the swing weight? Lower than your Callaway?

I am black tie x 70g and have the same only 80g in m2 fairway. Love them both.

Welp - had a range session. Moved weight all the way to the back and draw/fade weight to middle. Different sound and feel than before (in a better way). More solid and less pingy. Slight draws were back- we'll see if it translates to course.

I found the same. Once I moved the slider to the back, it felt much more forgiving. More of the dull sound than the high pitch.

Great to hear for both of you....

I swapped the track weights today before I went to the range. I wish I could see my numbers now on a trackman, because with the heavier weight in the middle of the loft track I'm really liking my ball flight. No idea what kind of distance or spin I'm getting though.

[jmcdonald]

Anyone have a HZRDUS Yellow in their M1...? I got my Tour Issue 10.5 head today and am getting my Handcrafted HZRDUS Yellow tomorrow to throw in there. Looking forward to it

Have been gaming HZRDUS black for 3 weeks. Shaft is so so so stable.

just curious, did you add more sliders or replace them?

[vonasemj]

I just switched the tracks the weights were on. The front weight is 15g from the factory and the back weight is 10g (mine actually measured 8 and 13). M not sure if I'll keep them like this, but on end the reasons I went with the M1 is to have the ability to try the different arrangements.

Where did you get the new weights if you don't mind sharing?

[vonasemj]

I didn't buy any new weights. Just swapped the positions of the factory weights.

Nice....did you have yours tipped at all?

[jmcdonald]

Wow...that's all I can say about this combo....very very nice...match made in heaven!

I have the White Tie 50 gram in regular and love it. High launch, noticeable kick and easy to work draw or fade. Weight all the way back with center bias weight. I tried the stock offering ,,kuro kage I think, but the White Tie was superior for me.

[Dent]

I just tried my M1 yesterday with a black tie. Thing feels smashed every time you hit it. Couldn't get a good judgment as I was hitting into 20mph winds in 50* weather but it held its line pretty well.

 

Thing feels awesome.

[Benkross]

My M1 is loud. I found the sweet spot to be a little high and half a ball to the toe side. Creates a monster drive but also a loud hit. Maybe you guys aren't hitting the sweet spot because if I catch it center/center to a little low it is a thwack

 

I don't find it loud at all. Maybe I'm alone on this, but it's not loud. I spent time on the range, and while not ever one is dead center, I've hit the middle plenty.

agreed. My 915D3 was way louder. After putting hot melt they both sound better

[Tilikum]

Hello all,

 

Could anyone tell me what is the difference in loft for each notch on the M1? I've been playing it at 9.5 for the last two months and really couldn't keep the ball in the air. Today I've gone up to notches in loft and I'm hitting way better....much better flight. The only problem now is, I don't really like the look of it at address.

For whatever reason that page just will not open for me.

[vonasemj]

The first two marks are .75* each and the third is .5*. If you went two marks up from 9.5* you are now at 11*. Remember that if the face is closed at address, the loft hasn't changed. The loft is changed when the face is neutral.

[Mr.Mizzy]

Went to a demo day today with my Nike covert tour 1.0 to compare to the m1 430.

 

Wow, after some tweaks with the club settings and shaft swap I ended up going from 264 carry 280 total to 282 carry and over 310 total. Outstanding results. The shaft we settled on was the speeder 757 evo in x flex. It was blue with white speeder letters down the shaft. All of the ones I see online seem to be different blue ones or the black tour spec.

 

I was told it was not in the collection of free shafts and would be an up charge. No way I can justify $700-800 for a driver, was hoping to find the shaft used, anyone know what I should be searching for exactly? The shaft just said speeder 757 evolution from what I could see.

Try the TS in S flex? It seems comparable to the regular 757 evo in X flex

[Mr.Mizzy]

I want the shaft I hit today though, not something that should be close. Just trying to figure out if there is a special designation for the one I hit, or what exactly the model is.

 

I appreciate the input though.
