TECH: Taylormade’s engineers know how to rinse ball speed and distance out of any swing, and they say the M4’s longer speed pocket and internal split pad weighting reduces twisting so even more energy is transferred to the ball.

WE SAY: We don’t often see a club stand head and shoulders above the competition nowadays, as the tech used by most brands is so good. But the M4 stole the show. The M4 was the only club our test pro reached 150mph ball speed with, and incredibly for him it was NINE YARDS further than the next longest fairway he hit, which is significant. M4 performed similarly well for the amateurs, too, posting an extra five yards carry on average. Brilliant.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

If you’re looking to buy any new fairway woods in 2018 we suggest you look very closely at the M4. The slightly wider footprint is forgiving, the speed pocket & fast face tech are powerful and there are enough lofts to cover gaps between your driver and longest iron/hybrid.
