That bridge is disgusting
TM irons looking uglier every year. Crazy lofts do not mean more distance – you are just hitting more club with a false number on the sole.
Hi everyone, I need to highlight a correction in this video. I said that the shaft of the new M5 is 3/4 of an inch longer than in the M3. However, the way TaylorMade measure shaft lengths has changed – they have gone from a Pin length method to a Ground Plane method. This means that the M5 actually only comes out as 1/3 of an inch longer at most. Apologies for the confusion!
At what point do manufacturers stop strengthening the loft .5 degrees every year so they can make false distance claims? Surely there must be a tipping point where clubs are no longer playable?
At this rate in a few years a modern “7 iron” will become a 4 iron from 2010. Lots of people can’t hit a 4 iron from 2010 because of the lack of loft, length of shaft and swing speed required to get the ball in the air.
very good in depth analyst of this set of Irons, Even from the pics of the M5/6 irons, I noticed that the speedbridge is designed in a similar way to how Nike did their Slingshot Irons of the 90’s. Where the beam was lengthened across the back of the clubhead (Nike’s) , this is vertical and quite a change. Taylormade do great job in the tech side but for the price its just too much imo. great video and keep up the great reviews ^_^
Really liked the comparison including your normal benchmark irons. It helps put things into perspective. I hope that you do a similar comparison with the M6 & M4. Thanks
