Taylormade M5 & M6 Woods - Pics added page 46

[gsrjc]

On my best hits with my M3 tour my spin with an Oban devotion 7 stuff 75g shaft that I was fitted for I got 2400 and bad hits I get 2700. This was outdoors on Trackman so I’m hoping with the same shaft and M5 tour my good hits might be 2100 and bad might be 2500. I’ll see when I try. I doubt I get it under 2000 spin but who knows. I know I’m not hitting it like Rick Sheils so no worries on really low spin.

To me the M5 Tour is looking like the best performing driver out there. Wonder how forgiving it will be.

 

 

Great gains compared to M3 440

 

Great find, and now I cant wait to hit the M5 Tour..

 

Me too. Just stinks that it wont be out to test until a month after the regular M5

 

It is worth the wait:)

That being said, I have a 460 head until that day arrives!

 

Both heads beat my Tour M3 heads.

[Makidebinens]

Wow I just noticed that M5/M6 have a stock length of 45.75''. At this rate, around 2022 we'll all be hitting long drivers off the tee.

Man that's crazy ! I'm still playing at 44"

 

I will assume the Tour Length will be shorter..

All of the new M drivers are listed at 45.75" and that includes the M5 Tour.

Nope, same length as the 460 from what I have heard.

Which at 44.5" for my M5 I will be adding more weight(s) to the tracks.

 

So if I get an M6 and want to play it at 45 inches, how do we add weight to the M6 heads? I do not see a removable weight.

 

Any M4 or RBZ stage 2/sldr fairway weight will work as a replacement in the M6 wight in the back on the head. They can be found up to 12-14 grams also if you remove the weight you can add hotmelt into it.

 

As for the M5 it's the same weights as the previous M3's they can be found up to 14 grams & you can hotmelt through the sound port in the hosel.

Just wanted to add Incase no one else noticed that the review of the M6 and Epic flash shows a 9.0 degree M6 and a 10.5 degree Epic flash... not saying one is better than the other but this could definitely explain gains in ballspeed and lower spin numbers for the tester in the video.

[Breezy-3-]

I’m not sure loft of club impacts ball speed. Launch angle and spin numbers will be affected and therefore could explain overall distance disparities though.

Do we have confirmation that the tour driver is in fact releasing a month later? The guy at golf galaxy last night told me their info is 2/1 with the rest of the clubs. Also, the shop I always order through has also told me 2/1

 

Taylormade has no issue posting all those stupid assss “five more sleeps†posts but they can’t pop in and tell us the actual release date?

Insulting them seems like a sure fired way of getting them to respond.

[DFDLT]

You would also think they would know what the shaft options would be as well. As the shafts are coming from other companies so it’s not a production issue on TM part.

No cost Shaft options are on the taylormade site.

[mktrout]

you would think they would get all this info out and start presales since callaway and pxg are starting preorders next week.

Still remarkable the height and low spin with the M5. He has a 10.5* set down to 8.5* and look at the launch height and low spin!

The Cally was a 9* set to 8*.

 

The weights in the M5 were set fairly neutral.

 

Can't imagine the tour with lower launch and spin.

Great gains compared to M3 440

 

Well, s***. Just when I thought I was totally content with my M3, I had to go and watch this video. Crap.

 

In other news, the below-listed M3 is for sale haha

no 45.75" stock

[Micrys2]

I have a Ping G400. It is presumed to be one of the most forgiving drivers ever created (purchased before G400 Max), has anyone asked how the M5 and M6 compare in relation to the G400 and Max in respect to forgiveness? If so enlighten me.

M5 fairway ccs:

 

M5 rocket and 3 wood: 161cc

I’m going to have to look for a different driver. I don’t want to wait that long. I just sold my M3 440 under the assumption 2/1 meant 2/1 haha. Oh well... Taylormade wont be sad without me and I’m sure they’ll survive without my $550
