The feel is way different I own both. The m1 is like hitting a stop sign at full speed the tw has a great soft marshmallow feel to it. One of the best feeling heads made in the last 5years no question. M1 spins less and was a longer but the tw is accurate and reasonably long. M1 launches lower for me than the tw speed head. I have the 460 m1 and the size difference is huge between the two. If you play a driver with 10.5 or 11 loft the tw is a good combo and a real bluboard. Performance from m1 was awesome, accuracy for me wasn't great, sound and feel were terrible I have the 6.5 hzrdus black.

The M1 430 had more ballspeed, around 5-7mph for me. The TW felt better and was more forgiving across the face. Still shaft testing for M1 so if anything changes I'll chime in.

I still have a vapor speed tw head, and I have never had more shot shaping control with any other driver. I have tried some other options. I was leaving 10-15 yards on the table when compared to m1/m2 or the epic. I still miss the feel and look of the vapor tw. It has too much loft for me like a lot of other folks. If anyone knows of anyone that feels comfortable bending this driver head, I would greatly appreciate it. I know it has a long hosel and could possibly be bent.

Decided to stay with the tw but would like to put a more low spinning shaft in...getting really good numbers with, loving the feel and Look of the head but would like to get it lower in spin and more anti left....the blueboard x feels whippy to me...hzrdus black/yellow, rogue 125 or an old grafalloy blue come to my mind...any suggestions?

I second that. If anyone know someone who can bend drivery head let me know. This at 9.5 bent 2more degrees flat would be great.
