Official Taylormade M1 Driver Thread

[Tony_Ireland]

Has to be said im liking the vids. You dont have to buy them, but ya gotta hand it to TM

[JaxBeachNole]

Can we watch online?

[Beastmode Broker]

cool vid by TM, I like where this is heading
they better live up to the hype now!! LOL!

[Tony_Ireland]

Literally just got my hands on a rare r15 430cc LH head, so i wont be changing anytime soon. But still very interested to see

[ConfusedGolfer3412]

this has to be up there for taylormade hype, i can't remember a driver being this anticipated by them for awhile, sure the r15 and sldr had buzz and were promoted, but this seems greater compared to those. Whether the driver is impeccable or a complete flop is yet to be determined but kudos to tmag for getting excitement behind this club.

[Interpol]

Why no raves from TM staffers about the microchip in the head?????

Seriously though...gotta hand it to TM marketing. They really know how to generate hype and make intriguing ads.

Well it's 3:17pm and I was "expecting" something....I guess I'll expect the unexpected.

It's a delay in release!!! It's a start! (lame joke, sorry)

[PGA_AllTheWay]

Something newer than the divot one?

[Wooderson]

I personally liked the sound.

Anyone from here at the launch event? Would love to see some pics / get extra inside info!

I'm from CT 40 minutes away. Tweeted TM a bunch asking for an invite but never got a response back. I was bummed cause I could have followed it live and I'm local!

Where in Connecticut? I was born in Bristol and split early years between Westwoods, Glastonbury Hills (my dad was a pro there once upon a time), and Fairfield CC (My dad played college golf there)!

[warfelg21]

T track with two independent tracks. Kinda going back to the forgiveness issues of the SLDR if the F/B track is forward.

[drbonesvt]

Expect the unexpected ?

Maybe CT 275 / .850 COR

[Knockdown]

It looks pretty good.

[cardoza]

No pics yet?? Come on, people!

Hey, I live in Waterford CT...where do you live in CT?


On another note, the M1 looks like a toy driver my six year old would have picked up in Toysrus.

Ugly.

[eppey]

So the next release will have two front weights and two rear weights in the T? Anyone know whey they didn't at least keep with the R15 double weights up front?

You answered your own question...they're saving that feature for the M2.

[SwingBlues]

Hmmh....so how is this so much better than the R15s, again?

Both have 2 weights with the advantage, as I see it, to the R15 has 2 weight more upfront for super low spin - the more forward the weight the better right?!?!?

I really can't see me setting the weight in the back, it will be more front, middle = R15.

I dunno....


King Cobra LTD is looking mighty good as an alternate.

I live in PA now and work at LCC. But Bristol was home for me from 84-94. I still go back once a year to play.

[jokerusn]

OMG, how is this even a big deal??? It's like they crossed the R15 with a Fly Z+. I'm more enthralled with the press than the design. This is SO blah!
