I'm really intrigued by this club and think I'm going to go hit and see what the fuss is about. My big miss is on the toe and I'm curious to see how much I get penalized compared to when I had the SLDR.

Alternative. It lacks some of the adjustability of the M1 but hits a lower price point.

This is an alternative to the M1. Keeping in the "M" line of clubs, however, less adjustability compared to the M1.Question: Is the M2 designed to be an alternative to the M1 (e.g. Flyz, Flyz+), or a replacement?
Taylormade says that M2 is designed to be both long and forgiving. They accomplish long with a light crown, improved aerodynamics and a redesigned speed slot. They accomplish forgiving with a deeper CG.From what I understand it is designed to be at least somewhat more forgiving as well (deeper CG placement).
Sounds like it could be a perfect head for me if there's lots of toe side forgiveness. I live out there and low on the face.Taylormade says that M2 is designed to be both long and forgiving.

I did see increased ball speed vs M1 so something is working in that regard. The size of the sweet spot is a funny one because it's not a tiny sweet spot but one could argue it's not actually in the center of the face - it's closer to the toe. Or at least the forgiveness extends to the toe but not the heel.
Since putting the 10g weight in I'm actually seeing even better launch and noticeably more ball speed on misses heelside.
The toe on this thing is ridiculously hot, inexplicably so. Low on the face is something that I almost never even hit so I can't report but some guys have reported the low face giving poor performance.Sounds like it could be a perfect head for me if there's lots of toe side forgiveness.

Thanks. I'll have to give this a go.This is an alternative to the M1. Keeping in the "M" line of clubs, however, less adjustability compared to the M1.

Makes sense, and it also explains how throwing a heavier weight in the back end of the head can really give a performance boost.
Low was a struggle for a number of testers that we had on FlightScope. High was very good.
__________________________________________________
The reason that more are finding success, although if you read the SLDR and R15 thread, you would swear you are hearing the same thing in a driver that is completely different. They took weight away from the crown (similar to Callaway and Cobra) which moves the CG lower. Then added weight in the back. So as TO put it (the guy that designed TM drivers for years), low and back will bring more forgiveness and higher ball flight.
There are a number of THP TV videos where he describes why this is the case as his current company has been at the forefront of design in many instances. A lot of golfers want the CG below the ball so going lower by reducing crown weight is an easy way to achieve that and it was great to see TM catch up in that instance (and surpass some).
I struggle with the long term message they have delivered, but with new people in place, I suspect that going forward its pretty clear and concise.
Your thoughts are similar to mine in terms of the "message."
My biggest issue with the changing in tech, is it seems, especially with TaylorMade over the past few years that their philosophy on what is the "best tech in a driver" contradicts itself from year to year.
Understandable about the changes.I think that comes with the changes.
First it was you are playing the wrong loft
Then it was you need to move forward in weight
Now it is this.
Overall I think part of the issue is golfers, not willing to loft up to achieve what was necessary out of SLDR. Then add a change in design team with the departure of TO, 2-3 different CEOs and an entirely different media relations team. A bit of chaos, but glad they figured it out.
Can you give some more information?
If you were to write a home page review, for this club, what would you say?
Can you talk about the subjective such as looks, sound and feel?
Can you talk about the technology they are marketing and if you think its working as described?
Etc
I've already talked about the looks sound and feel in previous posts. It's hard not to feel like I'm getting repetitive at this point. I know it's not as exciting as hitting 320 yard drives. I will think about the marketing and compare that after my next round.
Perhaps maybe a longer version as mentioned similar to a home page review where you touch on each piece. While it might seem repetitive, I know the searching is looking for full reviews, rather than simply a recap from a round that is mostly about the swing.
Thanks.
Understandable about the changes.
I need more loft with this one, no doubt about it.
I'm going to turn the loft up to 11.5 on this one - Hitting it side by side the XR16 (same shafts) I'm noticing that the 10.5 XR16 is launching much higher and carrying further. Still very happy with the dispersion on the M2 but the launch on the XR16 and subsequent benefits are undeniable.
