\"F01-M1-2017-Family\"<\/a><\/p>\n

December 29, 2017 – TaylorMade Golf<\/a><\/strong>, manufacturers of the N\u00ba1 driver in golf and the driver with the most wins on the PGA Tour 2016 want to repeat and have pushed the boundaries of golf club engineering with the next generation of M metalwoods, highlighted by the new M1TM & M2 TM drivers, fairways and hybrids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Last year, M1\u2019s engineers successfully endeavoured to combine the perfect blend of form and function in the club\u2019s aesthetics and club alignment, focusing on the utilisation of new materials like never before. In 2017, TaylorMade is elevating performance once again by focusing on materials and geometry designed to deliver improved launch conditions, increased personalization and more forgiveness for every golfer.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerformance is the genesis of everything we do, and through the use of multi- material construction with the original M1, we were able to elevate performance to a level that captured the attention of golfers around the world\u201d,<\/em> says Brian Bazzel<\/strong>, Senior Director of Product Creation of Metalwoods of the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission continues in 2017 by advancing the use of exotic materials with new, intelligent shapes to once again deliver industry-leading performance. The M1 is our flagship driver designed and engineered to give all golfers the ability to further personalise their driver to maximise their game\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

M1 2017 TAYLORMADE DRIVER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"F03-M1-2016-Driver-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By way of a new, lower density Titanium alloy called 9-1-1 and an added carbon toe panel that accounts for a total of 43% more Carbon composite than its predecessor, the new M1 2017 Driver 460<\/strong>\u2019s mass properties have been optimised to deliver optimal launch conditions, more personalisation and increased forgiveness. The iconic two-tone crown of the M1 driver incorporates a proprietary 6-layer Carbon composite panel that is precision-fit to the skeletal titanium body using an FF2FF<\/strong> process\u2014a breakthrough engineering technique that results in craftsmanship of the highest quality with manufacturing repeatability for consistent, aggressive looks and undeniable performance.<\/p>\n

The M1\u2019s revolutionary construction methods allowed engineers to step outside of the box of traditional shaping, leveraging these new techniques into the next generation of TaylorMade product design. One of the primary features is the utilisation of a recessed Carbon toe panel that put TaylorMade\u2019s engineers on a new runway of design.<\/p>\n

The new Carbon composite crown in the new M1 saves more weight because the composite is 10% thinner, the bonding ledge is 18% shorter and the adhesive is half the thickness than the original M1. Furthermore, the new M1 also has a composite sole panel which utilizes the same thinner composite, shorter ledge and thinner adhesive approach as the crown. The combined weight savings of the new M1 composite crown and sole panel construction is 8g lighter than an equivalent titanium construction.<\/p>\n

This, combined with the 3g savings from the 9-1-1 lower density titanium results in a total of 11g savings compared to a conventional titanium head such as that found on the R15 driver and more than twice the weight savings than first M1 generation.<\/p>\n

\"F02-M1-2017-Driver-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In saving this critical weight, engineers were able to design a new, more aerodynamic T-Track system that houses 27g of moveable weight (2g more than the first generation M1), 12g of which reside in a re-designed back track that has been lengthened by 12.7 mm (19% longer) giving the golfer more high-to-low adjustability (64% more CG movement). The 15g located in the front track allows for the weight to be distributed from heel to toe (7% more than its predecessor) and the adjustment to their draw or fade bias by up to 25 yards. Engineers used the extra discretionary weight to make the footprint of the clubhead larger (4%) leading to a higher moment of inertia for more forgiveness.<\/p>\n

The new M1\u2019s CG is lower than that of its predecessor which results in a CG projection that is even closer to the centre of the face for a hotter trajectory and more ball speed protection at all impact locations. TaylorMade engineers relied on proven internal acoustic management techniques and modified them as necessary to meet the demands of new materials and shaping. The result: the re-definition of best-in-class sound to control vibration and pitch at impact. Combined, TaylorMade has delivered maximum distance and forgiveness through multi-material use and complete personalization.<\/p>\n

New to the next-generation of M drivers is a 440cc model<\/strong>, which utilises a slightly smaller head, deeper face and 30g of moveable weight, working in unison with all of the same technologies as its larger 460cc counterpart.<\/p>\n

Both the 460 and 440cc models feature a new 4-degree ultra-lightweight aluminium loft sleeve (back sleeve compatible) and three new stock premium shafts: Fujikura XLR8 Pro 56<\/strong> (hi- launch), MRC Kuro Kage Silver Dual Core TiNi 60<\/strong> (mid) and Project X HZRDUS Yellow 65<\/strong> (low), three of the most popular shafts on Tour and with consumers alike, along with a new premium performance Lamkin UTX<\/strong> grip with cord for greater durability and all-weather performance. TaylorMade is also once again offering more than 30 additional premium custom shaft options at no upcharge, having partnered with many of the industry\u2019s leading shaft manufacturers to deliver golfers a plethora of options to personalise the M1.<\/p>\n
