It might go down in history as one of the best FW’s to ever be made. M5 is unreal in every way. The only thing they don’t have is the ability the Ping LST has to flatten the lie independent of the loft but the M5 is perfect. So they will dump the M line for a speed and V line?

This year I did a true fitting and that's what worked best for me. The m5 fairway is a great club, but m6 was better for me in almost every stat.

Thank you for the update.

Not fully confirmed, but I’m pretty positive Ventus blue and black will be added

[taylorx300]

Ventus is confirmed on the upgrade list

[ASN21]

Hopefully the Ventus isn’t too pricy of an up sell. Still need to try it out...

It’s a $230 upgrade on ping. Guessing around that for TM

Any idea in weight/flexes?

Such a good shaft. Tightened by dispersion, and feels amazing!!

[BCC1898]

Anyone hearing about the color of the clubhead? We have navy/white, white, black, black/copper on this thread...

[jabwind51]

Gonna be really really hard to beat the M5/M6...Im curious what angle the new clubs will be taking.

You’re right, I just wanted to go out for a quick nine this morning and I’m telling you that M5 I have the synergy blue 60 stiff in that thing, to me easiest driver, even next to my G series pings. it would be cool now if they came out with one that was a flat white, I’d like to see a white head again.

Everything you have said on here that I have read in the past about upcoming releases have come true so I know that you are legitimate when it comes to this stuff but the only question I have are you are you excited about Taylormade’s next driver and woods or not?

 

 

[taylorx300]

Still waiting to hit them, then I will let you know.

[b2bbirdies]

Also curious what angle. You've had twist face now this injection. Not sure what other gimmick TM has left

[UnderPar18]

While twist face imo was a gimmick the actual performance of both M3/M4 and M5/M6 drivers have on par with every other OEM in the industry. Do i think the injection crap does anything... not enough for me to notice. But I hit my M6 straighter and just as far as when I owned a Callaway Epic Flash SZ.

 

All companies provide some level of gimmick. I just don't focus on it and hit each club to see what looks good and what performs. Sometimes getting past the gimmick mentally helps

[Grover21]

Talked with my rep yesterday apparently they are leaving the "M" series and the new drivers will be called SIM (Speed in Motion). Not sure how I feel about that name. He didn't have a ton of details but the reps will have them in 2-3 weeks.

[DrippingWet]

Good news m5 and 6 price drop on the way

[Rig14Port]

With a name like that it's confirmed... The new line WILL include a gyroscope inside the head to automatically square the club face an impact. Twist face is out cause its now scientifically impossible to miss the center of the face with the gyroscope and ventus combo... You heard it here first!

I’m guessing it will be $250 just like the Atmos TS and PW and PO

I guessing 6 and 7 in S and X. I doubt they will offer the 8 since they currently offer the Pro 2.0 TS in 8

I was thinking that would be about where it would come in at.

[ASN21]

M6 has been so good for me.

[LBRMGR]

> @DrippingWet said:

When does that usually happen ?

 

[Hughlock]

I also heard no more M series and the heads will be Blue now.

Meh. Dunno how they will improve on the current carbon scheme that looks amazing but I also said that about the M4 colors too hah..when I think blue I think of the old Mizzy royal blue which I did not like...

 

[TheMoneyShot]

I’m looking forward to hearing more about the new weight system...

[Lenny2]

I’ve been watching the Japan Tournament and thought we might see someone have something new and all I’ve seen is that crazy putter tiger had at the skins match and Rory went back to his old shaft. I figured this would of been a good time to show something off with a little tour leak.

The thing to remember with drivers is they need to be on the conforming club list to be legal to use in tournament play. People watch the weekly updates to that list to see if anything new is added, so we'd have known earlier this week if there was a new model.

 

That said, there was no way TaylorMade would leak a driver during like they did with the Truss putter (e.g., during a warm-up or during a practice round). Drivers are flagship product for TaylorMade; putters are not. Flagship products get big reveals.

I think we are probably still a couple months away before we see some new 2020 stuff on tour. I’d like to see the new gear as well.

Are we talking all blue or just the current silver area? Continental has done a few that way and they’ve come up super smooth. Not sure about a full blue top though.

[wheelz]

Stock shafts I know for sure are Ventus Blue & Red (based on this Black should be $0 upcharge), HZRDUS Smoke, & a Diamana shaft assuming 4th gen series.
