2017 TaylorMade M2 Driver Photos!

[Jungleland]

If they can improve upon the heel forgiveness this could be a show stopper - was the longest driver I tried in 2016 by far.

How far is by far?

[J13]

I'm interested to hear about the features in the M1 and M2. If they can keep the spin where it's at and increase the MOI by 300-500 points I would say job well done. I also kinda like the new paint scheme on the sole. No one can deny the success of the current M2 so this driver has a lot to live up to.

Do people really think these are "leaked" pictures?

[Pure745]

I mean, the M1/M2 are already so good, any noticeable improvements at all would be an instant buy for me.

As a current 2016 M2 owner, I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole

[DatSliceDoe]

"Geoacoustic" sounds like a great sales floor gimmick. I just hope it comes in one color. Black.

Couldn't agree more

I get the conspiracy theory but they are leaked photo's. These companies don't want crappy photo's as their first impression in the marketplace.

[9ccat9]

Leaked has the sound of TM or any company does not want them out on the net. If TM did not want them out they would not be out.

I mean, these new M2 pics, we have a guy thanking WRX for front paging them while 2 guys (maybe more) have been fired for leaking pics of the Callaway Epic. I'm not sure what all this means.. but someone needs to get to the bottom of it!

This reminds me of when i was young and the new automobile lines would come out....No one was allowed to see them till a certain day......Some dealerships would have one but it was covered and then unwrapped on that certain day......Now, the 2017's seem like they are around in 2015.......Like others have said, i'm not big on buying from a company that has someone fired for showing a picture.....i think a little to much is made out of all this.

Try tipping it an inch.

People act like this guy getting fired is somehow wrong, but you have to remember that leaking this info to to the public also leaks it to competitors.

 

Let's not forget the consequences of this in other industries. I personally know of two occasions in other industries over the last few years where a person was removed from a facility in handcuffs and taken to jail for leaking classified company info to competitors. Neither of these industries were matters of national security, the products were no more significant than golf clubs.

Love the looks of both 2017 M2 & D-Type. Can't wait to try them. 2016 M2 by far best driver this year so I can only imagine!

Looks like the face slot isn't as wide as the one in the original.

Don't all remember that the RBZ stuff had neon green trim as well?

Well it's your choice whether or not you want to shop at Dicks Sporting Goods but in my company if someone leaked confidential information they are immediately terminated (it's happened).

I'm interested to hear the claimed performance differences between 16/17 M2. I am pretty much optimized but identical launch conditions with a significant increase in MOI could make me switch.

The Callaway rep got fired too, lol!

[Ed Settle]

I like it and judging by the looks of the D-Type it might mean Deep face (at least I'm hoping it does :D )

 

You would think? D type? 440?

 

I agree. I think! Why would you make your smallest driver draw biased? Deep Face makes more sense.

Taylormade said one of the biggest complaints about M1/M2 was them being hard for the high handicappers to turn over. I'd bet it's a draw biased head to solve that issue.

I agree with this. I've had trouble turning it over too, ended up getting the M2 and set it up a little more left biased. The M1 460 in the draw settings just feels weird to me for some reason and my contact starts to get more towards the heel, not sure why, but don't like the club on the draw setting.

Good info that I hadn't really thought about. Is there a D-Type in the 460? That seems like the best fit for a High Capper needed forgiveness and Draw bias. And if D-type is draw biased is there a 440 that isn't?

 

Pure, do you think some of your visual issues are traceable to the way TM adapter works? Not being able to independently adjust FA independent of loft?

 

And not everyone tinkers with their settings and shaft preference like a WRX'er. So very valid points gentlemen! ?

[getair23]

1. 440 is the M1

2. D is for draw

3. There is no Arccos!

[scratchswinger]

I was hoping D was deep. Buzzkill

I was too :(

A "DF" model to pair with the JDay DF 3W would be legendary. While the M2 is in the bag currently I pine for a smaller profile DF model. So much so that I still cannot stomach selling my D4 head.
