Taylormade M3

www.taylormadegolf.com X Lofts: 2-17° / 3-19° / 4-21° / 5-24° X Shafts: Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 80/70 X Adjustable hosel: Yes X Loft change: +/-1.5°

HEAD SHAPE NARROW-MID-WIDE

TECH: A narrow-body hybrid which, thanks to 30g of sliding sole weight, can help dial-in a neutral or fade shot shape, which is perfect for better players who often find they pull hybrids. For the first time there’s a twotone silver and black crown to match the woods.

WE SAY: Well-suited to golfers who hit down on their hybrids much like irons. All our testers erred towards the M4 hybrid much more than the M3, primarily because of the wider, more forgiving head and shallower profile. Comparing the two, our test pro saw a gain of eight yards of carry distance in favour of the M4, which comes from a 2° higher launch and goes some way to explaining the difference in flight between the wide body M4 and narrow body M3. We’re big fans of the sound and feel, which are excellent.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

An excellent choice for fans of narrow-body hybrids or decent golfers prone to tugging hybrids left of the target, which isn’t most double digit handicap club golfers. Anyone choosing M3 should really make use of the adjustable hosel and sliding sole weight.
