TaylorMade GX Reports

FINAL THOUGHTS We’re becoming believers in Twist Face’s ability to improve the accuracy of your mishits, but ultimately we know that most of our customers would list more distance not straighter drives as their number one objective when purchasing a new driver. When analyzing M4’s ability to hit the long ball we must first admit that 300 yard drives are not a rarity for our tester. In fact 300 yards is roughly his average drive. That being said, his consis- tency with the driver makes him an excellent subject when comparing the distance produced by last year’s M2 vs. the best TaylorMade can come up with in 2018. At first glance the M4 didn’t seem much of an improvement over the M2 in the distance department. Our tester experienced a average .5 mph slower ball speed with a club head speed that was on average a full 1 mph slower. However, the M4 consistently launched higher than m4 and did so while producing less back spin. A player’s distance with their driver requires the correct combination of ball speed, launch angle and spin rate. M4 was far superior in two of these categories for our tester leading to a 10 yard increase in carry distance and almost 6 yards overall. An extra 10 yards is more than we ever expected considering our player is using the exact same shaft in each of the driver heads. We were quite impressed and think you will be too.
