M4 driver is a straight shooter

-

COMPLEMENT­ING the M3 driver, the M4 driver differenti­ates its design by putting an emphasis on forgivenes­s with straight distance.

The M4 driver not only utilises Taylor Made’s most groundbrea­king ’18 technologi­es, it also incorporat­es Geocoustic™ engineerin­g, which combines geometry and acoustical engineerin­g to unlock more forgivenes­s.

The Geocoustic sole shapes allow for a low CG and larger head size, but with a more curved sole which has inherently higher frequencie­s, leading to better sound and feel.

The Geocoustic sole design of the M4 driver allowed engineers to increase the overall face size.

Similar to the M3, the M4’s Hammerhead slot features reinforced outer portions for a lighter, more flexible face, which results in a larger sweet spot.

The centre portion of the slot increases ball speed low on the face and drops unwanted spin for straight distance.

Also new to the M4 is a redesigned face that is both thinner and lighter. The maximum thickness has been reduced significan­tly from 4.47mm to 3.6mm and the heel/ toe perimeter thickness has been reduced from 2mm to 1.92mm.

In addition, the mass of the face has been reduced from 45.5g in the ’17 M2 to 37.6g – 17.3%.

The M4 driver will be offered in a new 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° & 12° loft options, while LH models are available in 9.5° and 10.5°, each coming equipped with a Fujikura Atmos Red shaft in 6X, 5S, 5R, 5A along with a TM/Lamkin Dual Feel grip.

For women, the M4 driver is available in 10.5° & 12° lofts, equipped with a TM-Tuned 45 shaft.

RRP €415
