TaylorMade M5 + M6 Drivers Review
Speed Injection Technology with Twist face
M5 & M6 Drivers Compared To M3 & M4
Technology
TaylorMade lifted the lid on the new M5 and M6 metalwoods today. This family includes new drivers with Speed Injection Technology. We’re giving you an exclusive look at this new design and showing you how the M5 and M6 drivers compare to last year’s drivers.
The new Speed Injection process is sure to make headlines this year. TaylorMade designed the club faces on the M5 and M6 drivers to be so fast and thin, they inject them with a new tuning resin to bring them back to the legal limit set by the rules of the game.
Twist Face is back in the drivers and, for the first time, TaylorMade has included it in their fairway woods and hybrids to help you straighten out those shots off the deck. To go inside the exciting new Speed Injection technology and to see how these new drivers stack up against last year’s, check out the exclusive videos above.
Who It’s For
The TaylorMade M5 driver is made for the golfer who wants more control and workability off the tee. With movable weights, the M5 model helps you match your settings with your swing and preferred shot shape to give you greater control to go with the speed and distance technology TaylorMade packs into these golf clubs.
The TaylorMade M6 driver is for golfers who want maximum distance and forgiveness. This is the “aim and swing” model. There are no adjustable weights or movable tracks on the M6 driver. For golfers who want the best of speed, distance, and forgiveness without being concerned about tinkering with driver settings, the M6 driver is the best choice for that player.
Performance
In testing the TaylorMade M5 and M6 drivers, we compared them to the previous M3 and M4 models. The M5 and M6 drivers produced faster ball speed thanks to the hotter face created by Speed Injected Technology. Our testing showed a reduction of spin as well in the M5, but through the use of the movable weights, we were able to achieve ideal spin rates that produced a 10-yard increase in distance over the M3. With the M6 driver, we saw a higher launch angle than the M4 due to more weight in the back of the club head. This helped produce more distance in the M6 when compared to the M4.
Appearance
TaylorMade’s M5 and M6 drivers continue the use of the carbon fiber aesthetic with these golf clubs. It looks sleek down by the ball and helps frame that golf ball at address. They also used a red accent color for these drivers which gives them a distinct look over previous M-family clubs. One thing that stands out when look at these drivers is the red screws in the face. This is where TaylorMade injects their tuning resin behind the face and these screws provide a unique look when viewing these drivers.
Feel & Sound
The TaylorMade M5 and M6 drivers produce a classic feel and sound at impact. Their new Speed Injected Technology boosts speed but does not change the feel or sound of these drivers when you hit the golf ball. These golf clubs give you a pleasing sound that lets you know you made solid contact and no harsh feel for a smooth performance throughout the swing.
At what point does this “new year/new model” madness stop? These new drivers cost in excess of $500 each. OMG….I can’t honestly “trust” TaylorMade anymore…because in 2020 they will improve upon these clubs miraculously.
Could not agree more! The average good golfer I mean 10 handicap or less can hit a 200 dollar driver , this along with PXG (just read a article on there new drivers) are for the wanna bees in golf , you know the type . new clubs every year, new bag etc…. along with NO GAME. REMEMBER CADDY SHACK!
Love your answer. I play Taylor woods and love them. The only reason I’m going to get a new one is pretty simple. One of the cart kids at my golf club broke the shaft of my M- 4. The club has offered to give me new one. So now I can lose balls with a brand new Driver.
Then just buy the 2018 model for a 60% discount and be a year behind.
Couldn’t agree more!!!!
The biggest hitter I know has a 10 year old driver.
TRUE SAID.
Why didn’t they put the screws on the bottom, under the pockets?
