TaylorMade M2 irons
TaylorMade’s new irons are
designed to help you hit the ball
further and stop it quicker on the
greens by increasing your ball
speed, launch angle and the peak
trajectory height.
A redesigned Speed Pocket
and a thin face with Inverted
Cone Technology allows greater
and more consistent flex at
impact, which transfers more
energy into the ball and launches
it higher, while adding forgiveness
for shots struck low on the face.
The fluted hosel allows mass to
be moved lower and further back
in the clubhead and the 360°
undercut lowers the centre of
gravity. A 3D badge in the cavity
and multi-material V-shaped
struts dampen vibrations to make
them sound and feel more like a
better player iron.
There is also an M2 Tour
version that is a distance iron with
a more compact shape aimed at
players who want extra distance
with added workability. The size,
shape, offset, topline thickness,
sole width, sound and feel have
all been tweaked to offer the
same performance benefits to
better players who wouldn’t
normally consider a gameimprovement
distance iron.
Price: £599 for M2;
£699 for M2 Tour
