TaylorMade M2 Golf Drivers
The TaylorMade M2 Driver, launched in 2016, transformed distance and forgiveness for golfers. Its large clubface and lightweight composite crown lower the center of gravity for longer, straighter drives, even on mishits. With a flatter lie angle, it appeals to mid-to-high handicappers seeking power and accuracy without complex adjustments. The aerodynamic design also helps golfers add yards to their drives.
Key features include:
| 7-layer Carbon Composite Crown | Precision-formed and built ultra-thin, ultra-lite and high strength to maximize weight savings. |
| Massive Sweet Spot | Engineered with high MOI, Inverted Cone Technology, and a redesigned Speed Pocket – three features that combine to produce maximum forgiveness and speed across the face. |
| Hot Trajectory | A low CG projection with a new Speed Pocket and exceptional aerodynamics generate a hot, high launch/low spin trajectory. |
| Best In Class Sound | Internal acoustic engineering controls vibrations and pitches to produce a solid, hot, and crisp sound. |
| Adjustable Loft Sleeve | 12 positions, 4° (+/- 2° degrees of loft) to dial in maximum performance by adjusting loft, lie and face angle. |
Top Competitors
Also released in 2016, the Ping G Series Driver competes directly with the M2's focus on forgiveness. The Ping driver boasts large clubfaces and technologies to promote higher launch and straighter ball flight, making them good options for mid-to-high handicappers seeking similar performance benefits. The Callaway XR Driver offers a strong alternative, prioritizing distance potential for a broader range of golfers. The Callaway XR features a large titanium clubface designed for high ball speeds and a focus on maximizing distance. While not necessarily as forgiving as the M2, it’s a good option for golfers with a more consistent swing who prioritize raw distance gains.
Progression of the M2 driver:
Following the success of the M1 Driver, TaylorMade unveiled the M2 Driver in 2016. The M2 utilizes the same proprietary multi-material combination, including the seven-layer carbon composite crown found in the M1. The M2 line aims to deliver forgiveness without sacrificing distance. The M2 leverages the weight savings (5 grams!) from the carbon crown and redistributes it to the sole of the club, resulting in a low and slightly farther back center of gravity.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The M2 is a great driver. Really durable and will not scratch easily. |
| Really forgiving with a great sound. The launch and spin are far above any other driver I've used. |
| Longest drives I've ever hit! Love the high toe no-spin launch spot. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Not as accurate as my previous driver. |
| Not my favorite driver. Doesn't have much feel and I can't tell where on the face I hit the ball. |
| I’m going to replace it this year with something a bit more forgiving. |
The TaylorMade M2 Driver is a solid choice for golfers who prioritize forgiveness and affordability. Released in 2016, it consistently gets high marks for its ability to get the ball airborne and deliver decent distance. For those who prioritize forgiveness and a good feel over cutting-edge technology, the TaylorMade M2 Driver is a great option, especially at the price point you can find them for these days. Just keep in mind it won't be the most adjustable driver on the market.
