Taylormade M5 & M6 Woods - Pics added page 46

[Noke]

You guys are reading too much into this. Check it out. Do what I do. Bring your gamer to your store and at the same time, get fit with the new M5 / 6 / any driver of your choice. If you yield better results with the gamer, shut up and move on. If you have better results with something new, figure it out if it's the shaft or the new driver head and continue testing.

I thought the paintball industry was bad with kids crying and eventually forming out 1500$ plus on a marker that shoots paintballs. These drivers are a third of the cost and will be used far far more than some teen with his little paintball tournaments.

If it's better, buy it. If it isn't, day no thank you.

Buy lessons. Everyone needs those all the time.

 

I'd add that the golfer should get re-fit into their gamer head along with the new stuff they are trying. There are so many variables in driver fittings with so many shaft/head/spec combos that I'd bet there are nearly always yards left on the table, even with old heads.

My problem is that I just like to buy the newest thing out. I did really benefit from TwistFace bc I hit the ball really straight and felt I could swing harder.

 

 

This and hammerhead feels like it's more explosive....also the head is lighter which helps me too.....

 

M3 really has solidified a spot at the driver slot as I really can't see adding 4-7 mph ballspeed....and along with M3 just looking balanced from address

Why do you keep saying it like that with emphasis on the "H"?!?

 

Internet high-five for this guy.

Believe me I'm on board with driver innovation 100% - I want a driver I can pound 300 yards without having to think about a thing.

 

That being said, I'm curious what's "innovative" about these new drivers?

 

Hookers can repackage the same product and sell it over and over again, not so sure major golf companies can.

 

I don't know that I buy anything being far superior to the drivers we saw 2-3 years ago. I never noticed TwistFace to have much of an effect, definitely never saw HammerHead having an effect, Jailbreak may have been innovative in Epic, but it was just repackaged in Rogue.

 

They tell us "Forged face, Milled face, Speed Slot, Compression Channel, Y-Track, etc. etc. etc." but does the data support an M6 being superior to a 2016 M2 by more than maybe 200 RPM and 2mph ball speed? In the hands of 95% of golfers that is negligible. Especially as the price point is now reaching $600 w/ a stock shaft.

 

I've owned drivers from every major OEM besides Titleist in the last 3 years and can genuinely say shaft makes sooooo much more of a difference than driver. If you want to spend big dollars, spend it there.

 

Late night rant over - should probably go succumb to the NyQuil I took 2 hours ago. Damn colds that my kids bring home :D

 

LOL - best quote in the entire thread

I just cringed when I saw the m5

This is absolutely what I'm planning on doing. I'm planning to do a fitting in a couple months and, at least for the driver, I think it's going to be a 2-step process:

 

1. Take my current gamer and do a head-to-head (literally) comparison - keeping my current shaft and seeing how the numbers change based on a head switch. If one of the new heads beats my current, we proceed to step 2 with that. If not, we proceed to step 2 with my gamer.

2. Re-evaluate the shaft I'm using. I'm currently in a shaft I've owned for almost 5 years. I need low/low, maybe ultra low/ultra low, so perhaps something has come along in those 5 years that can knock my current out of the lineup.

Don't get me started on the new M7 RocketPaintballs machine. The paint coefficient has been maxed out since at least the time of M1/M2.

 

I think you're missing the point little buddy

I got your point. I'm surprised no-one had ever raised it before.

[MCoz]

screenshot of the club on Not allowed because of spam looks like there's a pinhole in the center of the face too?

 

That's nothing new. TM driver faces have had a small dot in the center of the face for a long time.

 

Isnt that for COR testing on tour drivers?

 

The pin hole is in the geometric center of the score line pattern, but it's not necessarily a projection of the CG location. I believe it's just decorative, but I could certainly be mistaken.

 

When they do CT testing on tour heads, one of the spots they test is in the center of the face. To do so, they find the point that represents the actual projection of the CG and mark that by making a dot with a paint marker. It's usually close to the pin hole, but not always right on it.

All of mine have had the CT marks in the center except the M3 440 which has two marks. One just a hair beneath the center pin hole and the second just above it about a 8th of an inch above. I never asked them why or if there was a reason, the club works very well.

Scary isn’t it? I actually think I took a step backwards in performance when I went from m1 to epic sub zero. Then went the right way when I moved to ping.

An honest reply. You like to buy the newest thing out. Me too.

I love how Taylormade keeps naming their clubs after BMW's :D

Love M cars so much.

So if one of the shafts is the Smoke? Anyone know if it is anywhere close to an OBAN Devotion? I did a fitting at club champion and I’m not paying an extra couple hundred dollars to get a driver from them. I’m just getting back into golf and I need a low/low shaft.

Yeah I figure a Smoke will be a good starting point. When you have 15 year old clubs that never really fit.....anything is going to be a huge upgrade.

[Stanks]

I think the smoke is cool. I liked my Black and would be entertained to see try the smoke.

 

The Evenflow white, however, is my favorite Project X shaft. I just got along with that quite well. Still looking to grab one when I see on for cheap.

[EHolm]

The smoke is just the black with a reasonable swingweight since the black was tip heavy. Some call it counterbalanced but thats only compared to the original black, the yellow is the real cb shaft in the hzrdus family. If you want the flight of the black but keep it in normal sw, the smoke is a great option

TM offers the EFW 65 right now for only $65 up-charge. I’m sure they’ll bring it back when the M5/6 comes out since Titleist has it with TS2/3

I must have overlooked that. I will keep that in mind for sure. Thanks!

I wasn’t serious. It’s been raised 1000s of times.
