I wonder when the embargo date is?

 

Embargo is 1/2 or 1/3

 

Thank you!

Looks like there will be small fan blades inside the tubes so when you swing and the air travels through the head it will sound like a one of those siren whistles you blow into.

The rules of golf doesnt allow for holes through the head so we can just put this to bed already. This was also brought up on season 1 of driver vs driver when a competitor wanted to use a perforated face to allow air to travel through instead of around the head. Its either a tube or interchangeable screws

 

I like that EHolm is still trying to go the serious route with this thread. Captain Morgan says they're like air raid sirens and EHolm squashes the idea because the rules of golf wouldn't allow that. I think the rules of common sense wouldn't allow that.

Just heard from a reputable source that the screws on the front is where they inject a resin that will optimize the ct of each head.

Wonder if they can get each head right at the legal CT limit? That would be something.

[Natural1]

I sincerely hope the screws can be ordered in the same color as the face. Guessing not.

I can confirm that as well.

I agree, but isn't that what Cobra has done with their milled face, and Adams did with the XTD before them? Not to mention Wishon?

I don't know. I don't remember the Cobra being touted as Max CT. Or the Adams for that matter. No experience with Wishon clubs. But, just because I didn't hear it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

 

With manufacturing tolerances being what they are, I don't know how they could mass produce anything metal with that degree of consistency. If they could test a head and easily inject a substance by hand in a matter of minutes, they could theoretically do so.

That would be, but mostly from a marketing standpoint. I believe its been measured that normal modern driver manufacturing vs. getting something right at the CT limit is a difference of only a few yards, nothing ground breaking. If TM are REALLY clever they would package this marketing concept a long with another change that actually impacts performance more so the difference can be attributed to their fancy new idea. Take the specs of the 2016 M2 and get some weight lower and further back and you'll have something that can compete with PING and be lower spin at the same time. Mix that with some fancy screw faced maximum CT voodoo and you have the next big thing, otherwise it'll just be another (neat) gimmick.

Right, but in this day and age, they have to make a big deal out of each incremental improvement. Jailbreak has been credited as a breakthrough for Callaway. In reality, how much additional speed could it have gained?

 

But, I agree. It could really be a big selling point even if the results are negligible. As long as there is some tangible proof that it produces more speed it can sell.

Speed resin?

The ol' Adams XTD driver was checked 4x during manufacturing to be right at the max CT. Wishon (easier as a smaller mfr.) tests 6x. I'm pretty sure Cobra's milled face is so that they can control the face thickness to a higher degree, in theory closer to the max rebound.

 

But yeah, only a difference of a few yards at most.

I didn't know that about the XTD. The only Adams driver I no played was the 9015D. Wonder if that was the case for it too.

Agreed, but i'm going to keep harping on the "Low CG" train until someone actually comes out with a breakthrough that does it properly because that IMO is the only big thing left that can tangibly benefit just about everyone. Take what Cobra achieved with the King LTD and push it further, IMO that is the only real way to go. PING has proven with the G400 MAX how successful this concept can be, find a way to drive the CG lower with similar MOI and you have an even bigger winner.

 

This right here is Narnia, and any Twisty/Screwy/Jailbreak-y/Hammerhead-y marketing hype is just distracting us from the fact that no one has achieved this, yet!

 

 

[noodle3872]

So if the screws are ports for speed foam or resin, I wonder if hotmelting the head will damage the foam or resin.

[just123123]

Still laughing!

You should be up cookin breakfast or somethin

[Wedge Ninja]

Hopefully face screws hold up better than their face slots did ?

[Puttfordough91]

Also was told demos and pictures should start surfacing by early next week!

[LaymanM]

I'll be curious to hit it. Was close to getting an m3, I got good numbers with it.

[Stanks]

A driver with Jailbreak, hammerhead, milled face, speedfoam and twist face technology with the forgiveness of a G400 Max? Imagine the possibilities.

[Lemonde]

I assume USGA conforming list posting by this Monday with all of the prelaunch fittings happening?

Wet blanket.

[Captain Morgan]

All joking aside I’m due for a new driver. TM will probably show more little by little. Almost pulled the trigger on a new driver couple weeks ago. Now I’m definitely waiting. I can’t wait to hit it. I’ll hit anything once.

OR, just re-badge the M1 and M2 and say we have not been able to improve on this yet but here they are with some great new shafts?

Tongue in cheek but after trying extensively to play the M3 and M4 I had to admit that at least for me the M2 was still the best driver available...and that means better than G400 and Rogue as well.

[Jacked_Loft]

Just had the M6 in my hands. Good package with very nice optics and technicals.

 

You guys are going to have to give it a hit and then pass judgement. If the marketing chatter is 50% correct, TM's got another winner coming out.

[MG 1977]

I've just taken the M6 for a test drive this morning. I have to say that I am mightily impressed, so much more power than my M3, looks much bigger too but for the price I'm going to stick with my M3 for now... although I have to admit the flat black finish looks superb.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[TexasCarlos]

As much as I love seeing all this new stuff, it’s going to be REALLY tough to get the 17 M2 out of my driver slot. I can say confidently that it’s the best driver for my game at least, hit my longest drives , had the most fairways and the sound (with some hotmelt) is superb. That’s a tall order for the M6

[Divot2]

Still gaming the 16’ M2 but this is very intriguing!
